"Did I like his voice?" he asked.
他問我，喜歡他的嗓子么？
"Very much." I was not fond of pampering that susceptible vanity of his;
“很喜歡，”我本不樂意縱容他敏感的虛榮心，
but for once, and from motives of expediency, I would e'en soothe and stimulate it.
但只那么一次，又出于一時需要，我甚至?xí)虾蛻Z恿這樣的虛榮心。
"Then, Jane, you must play the accompaniment."
“那么，簡，你得伴奏?！?/div>
"Very well, sir, I will try."
“很好，先生，我可以試試?！?/div>
I did try, but was presently swept off the stool and denominated "a little bungler."
我的確試了試。但立即被趕下了琴凳，而且被稱作“笨手笨腳的小東西。”
Being pushed unceremoniously to one side -- which was precisely what I wished
他把我無禮地推到了一邊--這正中我下懷，
he usurped my place, and proceeded to accompany himself: for he could play as well as sing.
搶占了位置，開始為自己伴奏起來，因為他既能唱又能彈。
I hied me to the window-recess.
我趕緊走向窗子的壁龕。
And while I sat there and looked out on the still trees and dim lawn,
坐在那里，眺望著沉寂的樹木和昏暗的草地，
to a sweet air was sung in mellow tones the following strain.
聽他以醇厚的嗓音，和著優(yōu)美的旋律，唱起了下面的歌。
