The cavalcade, following the sweep of the drive, quickly turned the angle of the house, and I lost sight of it.
這隊人馬順著車道的彎勢很快轉過屋角，在我視線中消失了。
Adèle now petitioned to go down.
這時阿黛勒要求下樓。
But I took her on my knee, and gave her to understand that she must not on any account think of venturing in sight of the ladies,
我把她摟在膝頭上，讓她明白無論是此刻，
either now or at any other time, unless expressly sent for, that Mr. Rochester would be very angry, etc.
還是以后什么時候，除非明確要她去，絕不可以隨意闖到女士們跟前去，要不羅切斯特先生會生氣的等等。
"Some natural tears she shed" on being told this.
聽了這番話，"她淌下了自然的眼淚".
But as I began to look very grave, she consented at last to wipe them.

A joyous stir was now audible in the hall.
這時大廳里人聲鼎沸，笑語紛紜。
Gentlemen's deep tones and ladies' silvery accents blent harmoniously together, and distinguishable above all,
男士們深沉的語調，女士們銀鈴似的嗓音交融在一起。
though not loud, was the sonorous voice of the master of Thornfield Hall, welcoming his fair and gallant guests under its roof.
其中最清晰可辨的是桑菲爾德主人那洪亮而聲音不大的嗓門，歡迎男女賓客來到府上。
Then light steps ascended the stairs.
隨后，這些人腳步輕盈地上了樓梯。
And there was a tripping through the gallery, and soft cheerful laughs, and opening and closing doors, and, for a time, a hush.
輕快地穿過走廊。于是響起了柔和歡快的笑聲和開門關門聲。一會兒后，便寂然無聲了。
"Elles changent de toilettes," said Adèle; who, listening attentively, had followed every movement, and she sighed.
"他們改變了廁所，"阿黛勒說。她細聽著，跟蹤著每一個動靜，并嘆息著。
"Chez maman," said she, "quand il y avait du monde, je le suivais partout, au salon et e leurs chambres;
"家里的媽媽，"她說，"當有個人，我跟著他在休息室和自己的房間，
souvent je regardais les femmes de chambre coiffer et habiller les dames, et c' etait si amusant: comme cela on apprend."
當我們學習的時候，我常常看著女傭的頭發和女士的衣服，而且它是如此有趣。"
"Don't you feel hungry, Adèle?"
"你覺得餓了嗎，阿黛勒？"
"Mais oui, mademoiselle. Voile cinq ou six heures que nous n' avons pas mange."
"但是，是的，錯過航行，我們五六個小時沒吃。"
