I want to commence my packing.
我要開始收拾了。
The dinner-bell rang, and suddenly away he bolted, without another syllable.
晚餐鈴響了，他猛地跑開，一句話也沒有說。
I saw him no more during the day, and was off before he had risen in the morning.
那天我沒有再見到他，第二天早晨，他還沒起床我就動身走了。
I reached the lodge at Gateshead about five o' clock in the afternoon of the first of May.
五月一日下午五點左右，我到了蓋茨黑德府門房。
I stepped in there before going up to the hall. It was very clean and neat.
上府宅之前我先進去瞧瞧。里面十分整潔。
The ornamental windows were hung with little white curtains; The floor was spotless.
裝飾窗上掛著小小的白色窗簾。地板一塵不染。
The grate and fire-irons were burnished bright, and the fire burnt clear.
爐柵和爐具都擦得锃亮，爐子里燃著明凈的火苗。
Bessie sat on the hearth, nursing her last-born, and Robert and his sister played quietly in a corner.
貝茜坐在火爐邊上，喂著最小的一個孩子，羅伯特和妹妹在墻角不聲不響地玩著。
"Bless you! I knew you would come!" exclaimed Mrs. Leaven, as I entered.
“哎呀！我知道你會來的！”我進門時利文太太叫道。
"Yes, Bessie," said I, after I had kissed her, "and I trust I am not too late. How is Mrs. Reed? Alive still, I hope."
“是呀，貝茜，”我吻了吻她說，“我相信來得還不至于太晚，里德太太怎么樣了？我希望還活著。”
Yes, she is alive, and more sensible and collected than she was.
不錯，她還活著，而且更明白事理，更泰然了。
The doctor says she may linger a week or two yet, but he hardly thinks she will finally recover.
醫生說她會拖上一周兩周，但認為她很難好得了。
Has she mentioned me lately?
近來她提到過我嗎？
She was talking of you only this morning, and wishing you would come,
今天早上還說起過你呢，希望你能來，
but she is sleeping now, or was ten minutes ago, when I was up at the house.
不過她現在睡著了，或者說十分鐘之前我在樓上的時候，正睡著呢。
She generally lies in a kind of lethargy all the afternoon, and wakes up about six or seven.
整個下午她總是那么懶洋洋地躺著，六七點鐘左右醒來。
Will you rest yourself here an hour, Miss, and then I will go up with you?
小姐，你在這兒歇個把小時，然后我跟你一起上去好嗎？
Robert here entered, and Bessie laid her sleeping child in the cradle and went to welcome him.
這時羅伯特進來了，貝茜把睡著的孩子放進搖籃，上去迎接他。
