Merry days were these at Thornfield Hall, and busy days too.
那些是桑菲爾德府歡樂的日子，也是忙碌的日子。
How different from the first three months of stillness, monotony, and solitude I had passed beneath its roof!
同最初三個月我在這兒度過的平靜、單調和孤寂的日子相比，真是天差地別！
All sad feelings seemed now driven from the house, all gloomy associations forgotten.
如今一切哀傷情調已經煙消云散，一切陰郁的聯想已忘得一干二凈。
There was life everywhere, movement all day long.
到處熱熱鬧鬧，整天人來客往。
You could not now traverse the gallery, once so hushed,
過去靜悄悄的門廓，空無住客的前房，
nor enter the front chambers, once so tenantless, without encountering a smart lady's-maid or a dandy valet.
現在一走進去就會撞見漂亮的侍女，或者衣飾華麗的男仆。
The kitchen, the butler's pantry, the servants' hall, the entrance hall, were equally alive.
無論是廚房，還是管家的食品室，傭人的廳堂和門廳，都一樣熱鬧非凡。
And the saloons were only left void and still when the blue sky and halcyon sunshine of the genial spring weather called their occupants out into the grounds.
只有在和煦的春日里，蔚藍的天空和明媚的陽光，把人們吸引到庭園里去的時候，幾間大客廳才顯得空蕩沉寂。
Even when that weather was broken, and continuous rain set in for some days, no damp seemed cast over enjoyment.
即使天氣轉壞，幾日里陰雨連綿，也似乎不曾使他們掃興。
Indoor amusements only became more lively and varied, in consequence of the stop put to outdoor gaiety.
室外的娛樂一停止，室內的倒反而更加活潑多樣了。
