The Drifting Life
When she woke the next day, the house was silent.
"Perhaps the disease has gone," she thought, "and everybody is well again. I wonder who will take care of me instead of Kamala?
Why doesn't someone bring me some food? It's strange the house is so quiet."
But just then she heard men's voices in the hall.
"How sad!" said one. "That beautiful woman!"

第二天她醒来时,屋里一片寂静。
“也许疾病已经消失了,”她想,“每个人都恢复了健康。我想知道谁会代替卡玛拉照顾我?
为什么有人不给我带点吃的?奇怪的是,房子这么安静。”
但就在这时,她听到大厅里有男人的声音。
“好伤心啊!”一个说那个漂亮的女人!”
"There was a child too, wasn't there?" said the other. "Although none of us ever saw her."
Mary was standing in the middle of her room, when they opened the door, a few minutes later.
The two men jumped back in surprise.
“也有一个孩子,不是吗?”另一个说虽然我们都没见过她。”
几分钟后,他们开门时,玛丽正站在房间中央。
那两个人吃惊地跳了回去。
"My name is Mary Lennox," she said crossly. "I was asleep, when everyone was ill, and now I'm hungry."
"It's the child, the one nobody ever saw!" said the older man to the other.
"They've all forgotten her!"
"Why was I forgotten?" asked Mary angrily. "Why has nobody come to take care of me?"
The younger man looked at her very sadly.
"Poor child!" he said. "You see, there's nobody left alive in the house. So nobody can come."
In this strange and sudden way, Mary learnt that both her mother and her father had died.
The few servants who had not died had run away in the night. No one had remembered little Miss Mary.
She was all alone.
“我叫玛丽·伦诺克斯,”她生气地说大家都生病的时候,我还在睡觉,现在我饿了。”
“是那个孩子,一个没人见过的孩子!”老人对另一个人说。
“他们都把她忘了!”
“为什么我被遗忘了?”玛丽生气地问为什么没有人来照顾我?”
年轻人很伤心地看着她。
“可怜的孩子!”他说。”你看,房子里没人活着了。所以没人能来。”
以这种奇怪而突然的方式,玛丽得知她母亲和父亲都死了。
几个没死的仆人在夜里逃跑了。没有人记得小玛丽小姐。
她一个人。
Because she had never known her parents well, she did not miss them at all.
She only thought of herself, as she had always done.
"Where will I live?" she wondered. "I hope I'll stay with people who'll let me do what I want."
At first, she was taken to an English family who had known her parents.
She hated their untidy house and noisy children, and preferred playing by herself in the garden.
One day, she was playing her favorite game, pretending to make a garden, when one of the children, Basil, offered to help.
"Go away!" cried Mary. "I don't want your help!"因为她从来都不了解她的父母,所以她一点也不想念他们。
她像往常一样只想着自己。
“我要住在哪里?”她想知道。”我希望我能和那些让我为所欲为的人呆在一起。”
起初,她被带到一个认识父母的英国家庭。
她讨厌他们凌乱的房子和吵闹的孩子,更喜欢一个人在花园里玩。
有一天,她在玩她最喜欢的游戏,假装在做花园,这时一个叫巴兹尔的孩子主动提出要帮忙。
“走开!”玛丽叫道我不需要你的帮助!”
For a moment, Basil looked angry, and then he began to laugh.
He danced round and round Mary, and sang a funny little song about Miss Mary and her stupid flowers.
This made Mary very cross indeed.
No one had ever laughed at her so unkindly
有一会儿,巴兹尔看起来很生气,然后他开始大笑起来。
他绕着玛丽跳舞,唱了一首关于玛丽小姐和她那些愚蠢的花的有趣的小曲。
这使玛丽非常生气。
从来没有人这么无情地嘲笑过她
"You're going home soon," said Basil. "and we're all very pleased you're leaving!"
"I'm pleased too," replied Mary. "but where's home?"
"You're stupid, if you don't know that!" laughed Basil. "England, of course! You're going to live with your uncle, Mr. Archibald Craven."
"I've never heard of him," said Mary coldly.
"But I know about him because I heard father and mother talking," said Basil.
"He lives in a big lonely old house, and has no friends, because he's so bad-tempered. He's got a crooked back, and he's horrid!"
"I don't believe you!" cried Mary.
But the next day, Basil's parents explained that she was going to live with her uncle in Yorkshire, in the north of England.
Mary looked bored and cross and said nothing.
“你很快就要回家了,”巴兹尔说我们都很高兴你要走了!”
“我也很高兴,”玛丽回答说但家在哪里?”
“你真傻,如果你不知道的话!”巴兹尔笑道当然是英格兰!你要和你叔叔住在一起,阿奇博尔德·克雷文先生。”
“我从没听说过他,”玛丽冷冷地说。
巴兹尔说:“但我知道他,因为我听到了父母的谈话。
“他住在一所孤独的大房子里,没有朋友,因为他脾气很坏。他有一个弯曲的背部,他是可怕的
“我不相信你!”玛丽叫道。
但第二天,巴兹尔的父母解释说,她要和叔叔住在英格兰北部的约克郡。
玛丽看起来很无聊,很生气,什么也没说。
美文阅读笔记
㈠爱一个人是一种能力,表达爱意是一门功课。
有的人想表达爱,却用负面的方式刺痛了对方;想表达关心,却总是成了冷言冷语;想表达在乎,却非要伪装成不屑的样子;想表达受伤,却非要以报复的手段来呈现……真正让人舒服的爱,是有技巧和方法可循的。表达关心、表示感激,也学会适当示弱……你我都要更用心地去学习如何爱一个人。
㈡林夕说:你喜欢一个人,就像喜欢富士山。你可以看到它,但是不能搬走它。你有什么方法可以移动一座富士山,回答是,你自己走过去。
㈢“拍马屁”,这听起来好像是个贬义词呦,也是,不过说得好听一点,其实就是“说话的艺术”。
先抑后扬,独具匠心,炉火纯青,八面玲珑,登堂入室,春风化雨,返璞归真。
