'There - you've owned it!'
“怎么樣——你已經(jīng)承認(rèn)了呀!”
'So have you - so have we all,' said Marian, with the dry frankness of complete indifference to opinion. 'It is silly to pretend otherwise amongst ourselves, though we need not own it to other folks. I would just marry 'n to-morrow!'
“你也承認(rèn)了——我們所有的人都承認(rèn)了,”瑪麗安坦率地說(shuō),一點(diǎn)也不在乎別人說(shuō)長(zhǎng)道短。“雖然我們用不著向別人承認(rèn)這件事,但是在我們自己中間裝假就犯傻了。我愿意明天就嫁給他?!?/div>
'So would I - and more,' murmured Izz Huett.
“我也這樣想——也許比你更迫切呢,”伊茨·休特低聲說(shuō)。
'And I too,' whispered the more timid Retty.
“我也想嫁給他呢?!膘t腆的萊蒂悄聲說(shuō)。
The listener grew warm.
那位在聽(tīng)他們說(shuō)話(huà)的人,臉上發(fā)起燒來(lái)。
'We can't all marry him,' said Izz.
“我們不能都嫁給他呀?!币链恼f(shuō)。
'We shan't, either of us; which is worse still,' said the eldest. 'There he is again!'
“我們誰(shuí)也不能嫁給他;這可是更糟糕的事兒,”年紀(jì)最大的瑪麗安說(shuō)。“他又出來(lái)了!”
They all three blew him a silent kiss.
她們?nèi)齻€(gè)人都向他飛了一個(gè)吻。
'Why?' asked Retty quickly.
“為什么?”萊蒂急忙問(wèn)。
'Because he likes Tess Durbeyfield best,' said Marian, lowering her voice. 'I have watched him every day, and have found it out.'
“因?yàn)樗钕矚g苔絲·德北菲爾德,”瑪麗安放低了聲音說(shuō)?!拔颐刻於荚谟^察他的舉動(dòng),所以就發(fā)現(xiàn)了這件事?!?/div>
There was a reflective silence.
大家都思索起來(lái),不做聲了。
'But she don't care anything for 'n?' at length breathed Retty.
“可是苔絲對(duì)他沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)兒意思呀?”萊蒂終于忍不住說(shuō)了。
'Well - I sometimes think that too.'
“唉——有時(shí)候我也是那樣想的?!?/div>
'But how silly all this is!' said Izz Huett impatiently. 'Of course he won't marry any one of us, or Tess either - a gentleman's son, who's going to be a great landowner and farmer abroad! More likely to ask us to come wi'en as farm-hands at so much a year!'
“不過(guò)這一切都是多么傻呀!”伊茨·休特不耐煩地說(shuō)。“他當(dāng)然不會(huì)娶我們中間任何一個(gè)人,也不會(huì)娶苔絲——他是一個(gè)紳士的兒子,將來(lái)他要到國(guó)外去做大地主和農(nóng)場(chǎng)主的呀!要說(shuō)請(qǐng)我們?nèi)ギ?dāng)幫工,出多少錢(qián)干一年,倒還差不多。”
