Once more I took off my handkerchief -- once more I thought of the cakes of bread in the little shop.
我又取下了圍巾--又想起了小店的面包。
Oh, for but a crust! for but one mouthful to allay the pang of famine!
呵，就是一片面包屑也好！只要有一口就能減輕饑餓的痛苦！
Instinctively I turned my face again to the village;
我本能地又把臉轉(zhuǎn)向了村莊，
I found the shop again, and I went in;
我又看見了那個(gè)店，走了進(jìn)去，
and though others were there besides the woman I ventured the request
盡管除了那女人里面還有其他人，我冒昧地提出了請(qǐng)求
"Would she give me a roll for this handkerchief?"
“你肯讓我用這塊圍巾?yè)Q一個(gè)面包卷嗎？”
She looked at me with evident suspicion: "Nay, she never sold stuff i' that way."
她顯然滿腹狐疑地看著我，“不，我從來不那么賣東西。”
Almost desperate, I asked for half a cake; she again refused.
在幾乎走投無路之中，我央求她換半個(gè)，她再次拒絕了。
"How could she tell where I had got the handkerchief?" she said.
“我怎么知道你從什么地方弄來的圍巾？”她說。
"Would she take my gloves?"
“你肯收這雙手套嗎？”
"No! what could she do with them?"
“不行，我要它干什么？”
