Mind you don t , said bessie ; and when she had ascertained that i was really subsiding , she loosened her hold of me ; then she and miss abbot stood with folded arms , looking darkly and doubtfully on my face , as incredulous of my sanity “记住别动， ”贝茜说，知道我确实已经平静下去，便松了手。随后她和艾博特小姐抱臂而立，沉着脸，满腹狐疑地瞪着我，不相信我的神经还是正常似的。
From my discourse with mr . lloyd , and from the above reported conference between bessie and abbot , i gathered enough of hope to suffice as a motive for wishing to get well : a change seemed near , - i desired and waited it in silence 我同劳埃德先生的一番交谈，以及上回所述贝茜和艾博特之间的议论，使我信心倍增，动力十足，盼着自己快些好起来。看来，某种变动已近在眼前，我默默地期待着。
On that same occasion i learned , for the first time , from miss abbot s communications to bessie , that my father had been a poor clergyman ; that my mother had married him against the wishes of her friends , who considered the match beneath her ; that my grandfather reed was so irritated at her disobedience , he cut her off without a shilling ; that after my mother and father had been married a year , the latter caught the typhus fever while visiting among the poor of a large manufacturing town where his curacy was situated , and where that disease was then prevalent : that my mother took the infection from him , and both died within a month of each other 就是这一回，我从艾博特与贝茜的文谈中第一次获悉，我父亲生前是个牧师，我母亲违背了朋友们的意愿嫁给了他，他们认为这桩婚事有失她的身份。我的外祖父里德，因为我母亲不听话而勃然大怒，一气之下同她断绝了关系，没留给她一个子儿。我父母亲结婚才一年，父亲染上了斑疹伤寒，因为他奔走于副牧师供职地区一个大工业城镇的穷人中间，而当时该地流行着斑疹伤寒。
My seat , to which bessie and the bitter miss abbot had left me riveted , was a low ottoman near the marble chimney - piece ; the bed rose before me ; to my right hand there was the high , dark wardrobe , with subdued , broken reflections varying the gloss of its panels ; to my left were the muffled windows ; a great looking - glass between them repeated the vacant majesty of the bed and room 贝茜和刻薄的艾博特小姐让我一动不动坐着的，是一条软垫矮凳，摆在靠近大理石壁炉的地方。我面前是高耸的床，我右面是黑漆漆的大橱，橱上柔和斑驳的反光，使镶板的光泽摇曳变幻。我左面是关得严严实实的窗子，两扇窗子中间有一面大镜子，映照出床和房间的空旷和肃穆。
