"And you said you'd name her after me," she said in a voice of wounded reproach.
“您剛才不是說，要用我的名字為她命名么？”她用受傷的語調責備道。

We're off to war within a fortnight. Would you send me into battle all sleepless with longing?"

“那樣的話，我最開心了。”
"A cruel maid. My ship is well named. If I steer her onto the rocks in my distraction, you'll have yourself to blame."
