2. 他全无志气，跟上甲板，看她们有说有笑，不容许自己插口，把话压扁了都挤不进去；自觉没趣丢脸，像赶在洋车后面的叫化子，跑了好些路，没讨到一个小钱，要停下来却又不甘心。
Hefollowed them lamely onto the deck. As he watched them talk and laugh without lettinghim squeeze a word in edgewise, he felt silly and humiliated; he was like a beggarwho, after running after a rickshaw for some distance without getting a cent, finallymust stop but is reluctant to give up.
Sherry的笔记：
Lamely：in a way that doesnot sound very confident, or that does not persuade other people

3. 鲍小姐看手表道：“我要下去睡了。明天天不亮船就靠岸，早晨不能好好的睡。今天不早睡，明天上岸的时候人萎靡没有精神，难看死了。”苏小姐道：“你这人就这样爱美，怕李先生还会不爱你！带几分憔悴，更教人疼呢！”
Lookingat her watch, Miss Pao said, “I’m going down to sleep. The ship will dock before dawn tomorrow so wewon’ t be able to sleep well in the morning. If I don’t go to bed early, I’llbe all tired out and will look a wreck when I go ashore tomorrow. “Miss Su said, “You’re so concerned about yourlooks. Are you afraid Mr. Li won’t love you? If you look a little weary, it’ll
makehim dote on you so much more!”

MissPao said, “Is that the voice of experience? Just think. Tomorrow I’ll be home.I’m so excited I am afraid I won’t be able to fall asleep. Miss Su, let’s go ondown. We can lie down in the cabin and talk more comfortably.”

咱们下去：let’s go on down
5. 对鸿渐一点头，两人下去了。鸿渐气得心头火直冒，仿佛会把嘴里香烟衔着的一头都烧红了。他想不出为什么鲍小姐突然改变态度。他们的关系就算这样了结了么？
Witha nod to Fang they went down. He burned with such rage inside that it seemed enoughto set the end of his cigarette aglow. Hecould not understand why Miss Pao had suddenly changed her attitude. So wastheir relationship to end just like that?
