品嚼語段
For several days after Tess's arrival,Clare,sitting reading a book,hardly noticed she was there.
苔絲到來后的頭幾天,克萊爾總是坐著看他的書,幾乎沒有注意到她在那兒。
But one morning at breakfast he was reading music and listening to the tune in his head,when he heard a musical voice which seemed to become part of his tune.
但是一天早上吃早飯時,他正在看一本樂譜,并沉浸在頭腦里出現的旋律中,這時他聽到了一個悅耳動聽的嗓音,聽起來就像他旋律中的一部分。
He looked round at Tess, seated at the table.
他掉頭看到了苔絲,坐在餐桌旁。
‘What a fresh and pure daughter of nature that dairymaid is!’thought Angel.
“那個女工多么嬌嫩純潔,真是大自然的女兒啊!”他思忖道。
He seemed to remember something about her,something which took him back into a happy past,before decision made his life difficult.
他像是記起了關于她的什么事情,記憶把他帶回到過去的一段快樂時光。
This memory made him look more often at Tess than the other dairymaids.
那時,他還沒有做出讓生活變得困難的抉擇。這種回憶也讓他更加關注苔絲,而不是其他女工。
