兀自

• Only one hour in the twenty - four did she pass with her fellow - servants below ; all the rest of her time was spent in some low - ceiled , oaken chamber of the second storey : there she sat and sewed - and probably laughed drearily to herself , - as companionless as a prisoner in his dungeon
  一天二十四小时中，她只有一小时同楼下别的佣人呆在一起，其余时间是在三层楼上某个橡木卧室低矮的天花板下度过的。她坐在那里做着针线活也许还兀自凄楚地大笑起来像监狱里的犯人一样无人作伴。
