This news made me very depressed，but there was nothing I could do about it and my aunt soon began to talk about some thing else.
這一消息令我很沮喪，但我也毫無辦法。姨婆立刻轉入了別的話題。
"What do you think of Mr Dick，child？"
“你認為迪克先生怎么樣啊，孩子？”
"He looks a little—well，mad. Is he mad，aunt？"
“他有點兒——嗯，不正常。他是不太正常吧，姨婆？”
"Well，his family called him mad，and wanted tolock him upfor ever. But I met him，and thought—I still think—he's an extremely sensible，intelligent person. So I offered to take care of him，and he's lived in my house for ten years. Nobody knows what useful advice he's given me！I trust him completely！"
"嗯，他的家人認為他不正常，想把他鎖起來，但我看見他的時候我認為——我至今認為——他是一個非常敏感、聰慧的人，所以我主動提出照顧他。他在我這兒住了10年了，沒人知道他給我提的建議多么有益，我完全信賴他。”
When I heard how generous my aunt had been to poor harmless Mr Dick，I began to understand her character better.In spite ofher stern appearance and frequent crossness，she was very kind to people who needed her help. I hoped she would be kind to me.
聽到姨婆對可憐無邪的迪克先生如此豁達時，我更了解她的性格了。盡管她看上去很嚴厲，而且常常滿臉怒容，但她對需要幫助的人非常熱心。我希望她對我也熱心。
Several days later，I was looking out of the sittingroom window when I saw Mr and Miss Murdstone riding into my aunt's garden. My aunt had seen them too，and hurried out，waving her umbrella angrily at them and shouting. "Go away！Don't ride on my grass！Who do you think you are？Go away，I tell you！"
幾天后，透過客廳的窗戶我看見摩德斯通先生和小姐騎馬來到了姨婆的花園，姨婆也看見了他們，急匆匆地出去，揮著傘氣憤地沖他們喊，“走開，別踩著我的草地，你們是什么人，走開，我警告你們！”
"Aunt！"I cried out. "They're Mr and Miss Murdstone！"
“姨婆！”我叫道，“他們是摩德斯通先生和小姐！”
"I don't care！"she shouted. "Nobody is allowed to ride on my grass！"
“我才不管呢！”她嚷道“任何人都不允許踐踏我的草地！”
