Amy Eshton, not hearing or not heeding this dictum, joined in with her soft, infantine tone:
艾米·埃希頓不知是沒有聽見，還是沒有注意到這一聲明，操著軟軟的、奶聲奶氣的調子搭訕了：
"Louisa and I used to quiz our governess too.
"路易莎和我，以往也常常戲弄我們的家庭教師。
But she was such a good creature, she would bear anything. Nothing put her out.
不過她是那么個好人，什么都能忍耐，隨你怎么整她都不會生氣。
She was never cross with us; was she, Louisa?"
她從來沒有對我們發過火，是不是這樣，路易莎？"
"No, never. We might do what we pleased, ransack her desk and her workbox, and turn her drawers inside out.
"不錯，從來不發火。我們愛怎么干就可以怎么干。搜她的書桌和針線盒，把她的抽屜翻得底朝天。
And she was so good-natured, she would give us anything we asked for."
而她的脾氣卻那么好，我們要什么她就給什么。"
"I suppose, now," said Miss Ingram, curling her lip sarcastically.
"現在我猜想，"英格拉姆小姐譏嘲地喂起嘴唇說。
"We shall have an abstract of the memoirs of all the governesses extant.
"我們要為現存的家庭女教師編一個傳記摘要了。
In order to avert such a visitation, I again move the introduction of a new topic.
為了避免這場災難，我再次提議換一個新話題。
Mr. Rochester, do you second my motion?"
羅切斯特先生，你贊成我的提議嗎？"
"Madam, I support you on this point, as on every other."
"小姐，無論是這件事還是別的事情，我都支持你。"
"Then on me be the onus of bringing it forward. Signior Eduardo, are you in voice tonight?"
"那得由我把這件事提出來了，老先生愛德華多，"今晚你的嗓子行嗎？"
"Donna Bianca, if you command it, I will be."
"唐娜比安卡，只要你下令，我就唱。"
"Then, signior, I lay on you my sovereign behest to furbish up your lungs and other vocal organs,
"那么Signior，我傳旨清一清你的肺和其他發音器官，
as they will be wanted on my royal service."
來為皇上效力。"
"Who would not be the Rizzio of so divine a Mary?"
"誰不甘愿做如此神圣的瑪麗的里丘呢？"
"A fig for Rizzio!" cried she, tossing her head with all its curls, as she moved to the piano.
"里丘算得了什么！"她叫道，把滿頭卷發一甩，朝鋼琴走去。
