Meanwhile, he continues his search for Captain Crewe’s missing daughter.

他继续寻找克鲁上尉失踪的女儿。

Part Fourteen: One of the Populace he winter was a wretched one.

第十四编: 他冬天的风景很糟

There were days on which Sara tramped through snow when she went on her errands; there were worse days when the snow melted and combined itself with mud to form slush; there were others when the fog was so thick that the lamps in the street were lighted all day and London looked as it had looked the afternoon, several years ago, when the cab had driven through the thoroughfares with Sara tucked up on its seat, leaning against her father’s shoulder.

On such days the windows of the house of the Large Family always looked delightfully cozy and alluring, and the study in which the Indian gentleman sat glowed with warmth and rich color.

这些天,大家族的房子的窗户 总是看起来很舒适和迷人, 印度绅士坐在那里的书房 充满了温暖和丰富的色彩。

But the attic was dismal beyond words.

但阁楼太冷淡了

There were no longer sunsets or sunrises to look at, and scarcely ever any stars, it seemed to Sara.

不再有日出或日出 看着, 几乎没有任何恒星,

The clouds hung low over the skylight and were either gray or mud-color, or dropping heavy rain.

云层被高高地挂在天窗上,要么是灰色或泥色,要么是降下暴雨.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, even when there was no special fog, the daylight was at an end.

下午四点,即使没有特别的雾,日出也到了尽头.

If it was necessary to go to her attic for anything, Sara was obliged to light a candle.

如果有必要去她的阁楼做任何事,萨拉有义务点起蜡烛.

The women in the kitchen were depressed, and that made them more ill-tempered than ever.

厨房里的女人很郁闷,这使她们比以往更不温和.

Becky was driven like a little slave.

贝琪被驱赶得像个小奴隶

“’Twarn’t for you, miss,” she said hoarsely to Sara one night when she had crept into the attic— “’twarn’t for you, an’ the Bastille, an’ bein’ the prisoner in the next cell, I should die.

" 小姐,不要为您担心 " 有一天晚上,当Sara钻进阁楼时,她对Sara说: " 不要为您担心,Bastille, 下一个牢房的囚犯应该死 " 。

That there does seem real now, doesn’t it?

现在看来确实如此,

The missus is more like the head jailer every day she lives.

夫人更像每天活的狱长

I can jest see them big keys you say she carries.

我可以看到你所说的大钥匙

The cook, she’s like one of the under-jailers.

厨师,她就像一个下狱的人。

Tell me some more, please, miss—tell me about the subt’ranean passage we’ve dug under the walls.”

请再告诉我一些, “

“I’ll tell you something warmer,” shivered Sara.

「我会告诉你更温暖的事,

“Get your coverlet and wrap it round you, and I’ll get mine, and we will huddle close together on the bed, and I’ll tell you about the tropical forest where the Indian gentleman’s monkey used to live.”

“拿起你的被子并把它包住, 我拿起我的被子, 我们将紧紧地靠在床上, “

Then Sara continued.

之后萨拉继续.

“When I see him sitting on the table near the window and looking out into the street with that mournful expression, I always feel sure he is thinking about the tropical forest where he used to swing by his tail from coconut trees.

“当我看见他坐在窗外的桌子上,看着街上那悲哀的表情时,我总是觉得他在想着他从椰子树上从尾巴上摇起的热带森林。

I wonder who caught him, and if he left a family behind who had depended on him for coconuts.”

我怀疑是谁抓到他,如果他留下一个靠他养椰子的家庭. “

“That is warmer, miss,” said Becky, gratefully; “but, someways, even the Bastille is sort of heatin’ when you gets to tellin’ about it.”

贝琪很感谢地说, “这更温暖,小姐,”但是,有些时候,连巴士底座都有点热了,当你能说出这一点。 “

“That is because it makes you think of something else,” said Sara, wrapping the coverlet round her until only her small dark face was to be seen looking out of it.

Sara说,“这是因为它让你想到了别的东西,”将封面包住,直到看到只有她那张小黑脸从里外看去。

“I’ve noticed this.

" 我注意到这一点。

What you have to do with your mind, when your body is miserable, is to make it think of something else.”

当你的身体很悲惨时,你必须用你的思想去想别的事情. “

“Can you do it, miss?”

“小姐,你能做到吗? “

faltered Becky, regarding her with admiring eyes.

贝琪被吓倒了,她的眼睛很迷人

Sara knitted her brows a moment.

莎拉编织了她的眉毛一分钟。

“Sometimes I can and sometimes I can’t,” she said stoutly.

「有时我能, 有时我无法」,

“But when I can I’m all right.

“但当我可以,

And what I believe is that we always could—if we practiced enough.

我相信,如果我们练习得够多,我们永远可以。

I’ve been practicing a good deal lately, and it’s beginning to be easier than it used to be.”

最近我一直在练习好东西, “

“When things are horrible—just horrible— I think as hard as ever I can of being a princess.

“当事情是可怕的——只是可怕的——时,我尽可能努力地想成为公主。

I say to myself, ‘I am a princess, and I am a fairy one, and because I am a fairy nothing can hurt me or make me uncomfortable.’

我对自己说:我是一个公主,我是一个仙子,因为我是一个仙子,没有什么能伤害我或让我不舒服。 " ; "

You don’t know how it makes you forget,” Sarah added with a laugh.

Sarah用笑语补充道:

She had many opportunities of making her mind think of something else, and many opportunities of proving to herself whether or not she was a princess.

她有很多机会让她想到别的事情,还有很多机会向自己证明自己是否是公主.

But one of the strongest tests she was ever put to came on a certain dreadful day which, she often thought afterward, would never quite fade out of her memory even in the years to come.

但是她最强的测试之一 是在某个可怕的日子 之后她常常认为 即使在未来的岁月里

For several days it had rained continuously; the streets were chilly and sloppy and full of dreary, cold mist; there was mud everywhere—sticky London mud—and over everything the pall of drizzle and fog.

几天来一直下雨;街道上寒冷而草率,充满了干燥而寒冷的雾;到处都有泥土 -- -- 粘着的伦敦泥土 -- -- 和一团细雨和雾。

Of course there were several long and tiresome errands to be done—there always were on days like this—and Sara was sent out again and again, until her shabby clothes were damp through.

当然还有几起漫长而令人厌烦的差事要做——总是有这样的日子——萨拉被一次又一次地派去,直到她那破烂的衣服湿透了.

The absurd old feathers on her forlorn hat were more draggled and absurd than ever, and her downtrodden shoes were so wet that they could not hold any more water.

她的老帽子上那些荒谬的羽毛比以往更被拖累和荒谬,而她被压倒的鞋也湿透了,以至于无法再再拿起水来.

Added to this, she had been deprived of her dinner, because Miss Minchin had chosen to punish her.

此外,她被剥夺了吃晚饭的权利,因为明钦小姐选择惩罚她。

She was so cold and hungry and tired that her face began to have a pinched look, and now and then some kind-hearted person passing her in the street glanced at her with sudden sympathy.

她冷酷而饥饿和疲惫,以至于她的脸开始出现一副被捏住的表情,现在,然后有些善良的人在街上经过她时,突然怀有同情心地看着她.

But she did not know that.

但她不知道这一点。

She hurried on, trying to make her mind think of something else.

她匆匆忙忙地想着别的事

It was really very necessary.

这是非常必要的。

Her way of doing it was to “pretend” and “suppose” with all the strength that was left in her.

她这样做的方式是 " 预示 " 和 " 假定 " 她身上留下了一切力量。

But really this time it was harder than she had ever found it, and once or twice she thought it almost made her more cold and hungry instead of less so.

但这次真的比她曾经找到的更困难,有一两次她觉得这几乎让她更冷更饿,而不是更少.

But she persevered obstinately, and as the muddy water squelched through her broken shoes and the wind seemed trying to drag her thin jacket from her, she talked to herself as she walked, though she did not speak aloud or even move her lips.

但是她固执地坚持了下去,而当泥水从她破烂的鞋上挤出,而风似乎想从她身上拖出她薄薄的外套时,她一边走一边自言自语,尽管她没有高声说话,甚至没有动嘴唇.

“Suppose I had dry clothes on,” she thought.

她认为“我穿了干衣服,”

“Suppose I had good shoes and a long, thick coat and merino stockings and a whole umbrella.

“我的鞋子和长而厚的外衣和美里诺丝袜以及一整副伞。

And suppose—suppose—just when I was near a baker’s where they sold hot buns, I should find sixpence—which belonged to nobody.

假设 -- -- 假设 -- -- 当我在面包店附近卖热面包的时候,我应该找到六便士,这是属于任何人的。

Suppose, if I did, I should go into the shop and buy six of the hottest buns and eat them all without stopping.”

假设,如果我这样做,我应该去商店 买六个最热的包子 吃他们全部不停止。 “

Some very odd things happen in this world sometimes.

有些奇怪的事情有时发生在这个世界。

It certainly was an odd thing that happened to Sara.

莎拉确实出事了

She had to cross the street just when she was saying this to herself.

当她对自己说这话时 她不得不过街

The mud was dreadful— she almost had to wade.

泥巴是可怕的—— 她几乎不得不摇摆。

She picked her way as carefully as she could, but she could not save herself much; only, in picking her way, she had to look down at her feet and the mud, and in looking down—just as she reached the pavement—she saw something shining in the gutter.

她尽可能小心谨慎地选择了自己的路,但她救不了自己;只是在选择自己的路时,她不得不俯视她的脚和泥地,并俯视——就在她走进人行道的时候——她看到了地沟里闪耀的东西。

It was actually a piece of silver—a tiny piece trodden upon by many feet, but still with spirit enough left to shine a little.

它其实是一块银子——一块被多脚踩上的小块,但仍有灵魂能放出一点光芒.

Not quite a sixpence, but the next thing to it—a fourpenny piece.

不够六便士,但接下来是四便士

In one second it was in her cold little red-and- blue hand.

在一秒钟内,它是在她冷的 小红蓝手。

“Oh,” she gasped, “it is true!

她喘了口气说:“这是真的!

It is true!”

有道理!”

And then, if you will believe me, she looked straight at the shop directly facing her.

然后,如果你相信我, 她直视 商店直接面对她。

And it was a baker’s shop, and a cheerful, stout, motherly woman with rosy cheeks was putting into the window a tray of delicious newly baked hot buns, fresh from the oven—large, plump, shiny buns, with currants in them.

当时是面包师的店铺,一个欢快的,有花脸的母性女人正把一盘美味的新烤热包子放入窗外,从烤箱里取出新鲜的,大而丰的,闪亮的包子,里面有曲折的包子.

It almost made Sara feel faint for a few seconds—the shock, and the sight of the buns, and the delightful odors of warm bread floating up through the baker’s cellar window.

差点让Sara晕倒了几秒钟,

She knew she need not hesitate to use the little piece of money.

她知道她需要毫不犹豫地使用小钱。

It had evidently been lying in the mud for some time, and its owner was completely lost in the stream of passing people who crowded and jostled each other all day long.

它显然在泥地上躺了一段时间,它的主人完全迷失在流来的人的溪流中,他们整天挤满了人并互相欢呼。

“But I’ll go and ask the baker woman if she has lost anything,” she said to herself, rather faintly.

」她对自己说,

So she crossed the pavement and put her wet foot on the step.

于是她穿过了人行道,将她的湿脚放上台阶.

As she did so she saw something that made her stop.

她看到一些让她停下来的东西

It was a little figure more forlorn even than herself—a little figure which was not much more than a bundle of rags, from which small, bare, red muddy feet peeped out, only because the rags with which their owner was trying to cover them were not long enough.

这个小数字甚至比她自己更被遗忘——这个小数字并不比一捆被子多, 从中,小而赤而红的泥地脚被窥出,只是因为他们的主人试图用被子遮住的被子不够长.

Above the rags appeared a shock head of tangled hair, and a dirty face with big, hollow, hungry eyes.

在布上方出现了一头被缠住的发型所震撼的头部,和一双有大,空洞,饥饿的眼睛的脏脸.

Sara knew they were hungry eyes the moment she saw them, and she felt a sudden sympathy.

莎拉一看到它们就意识到它们的眼睛很饿,她突然感到同情.

“This,” she said to herself, with a little sigh, “is one of the populace—and hungrier than I am.”

她对自己叹息地说,“这是民众之一,比我还饿。 “

The child—this “one of the populace”—stared up at Sara, and shuffled herself aside a little, so as to give her room to pass.

这名儿童——这个 " 民众之一 "——在Sara站起,略微把自己甩出一旁,以便她有经过的余地。

She was used to being made to give room to everybody.

她习惯于被逼出给大家空间.

She knew that if a policeman chanced to see her he would tell her to “move on.”

她知道,如果警察碰巧见到她,他会叫她“走开”。 “

Sara clutched her little fourpenny piece and hesitated for a few seconds.

Sara抓住了她的小小四便士 犹豫了几秒钟

Then she spoke to her.

然后她和她说话。

“ Are you hungry?”

“...... 你饿了吗? “

she asked.

她问。

The child shuffled herself and her rags a little more.

这孩子洗了自己 和她的破布一点点。

“ Ain’t I jist?”

“...... 我不是在开玩笑吗? “

she said in a hoarse voice.

她用粗糙的声音说

“Jist ain’t I?”

" 正义不是我吗? “

“Haven’t you had any dinner?”

" 你没有吃过晚餐吗? “

said Sara.

莎拉说。

“No dinner,” more hoarsely still.

"不吃晚饭" 更惨了

“Nor yet no bre’fast—nor yet no supper.

" 或者还没有快餐,或者还没有晚餐。

No nothin’.”

没有。

“Since when?”

“何时开始? “

asked Sara.

问萨拉。

“Dunno.

“不知道。

Never got nothin’ today—nowhere.

今天,

I’ve axed an’ axed.”

我用斧头砍过一个人。 “

Just to look at her made Sara more hungry and faint.

看着她让莎拉更饿又晕倒

But those queer little thoughts were at work in her brain, and she was talking to herself, though she was sick at heart.

但是那些怪异的小想法 正在她的大脑中工作, 她正在自言自语, 虽然她是生病的心脏。

“If I’m a princess,” she was saying, “if I’m a princess—when they were poor and driven from their thrones—they always shared—with the populace—if they met one poorer and hungrier than themselves.

“如果我是公主,”她说,“如果我是公主——当他们贫穷并被赶出王位时,他们总是与民众分享——如果他们遇到比自己更穷更饥饿的人。

They always shared.

他们总是分享。

Buns are a penny each.

邦斯是每个一分钱。

If it had been sixpence I could have eaten six.

如果是六便士的话 我就能吃到六便士了

It won’t be enough for either of us.

这对我们来说都是不够的。

But it will be better than nothing.”

但总比什么都没有好 “

“Wait a minute,” she said to the beggar child.

她对乞丐说,“等等”。

She went into the shop.

她去了商店。

It was warm and smelled deliciously.

它很温暖,味道很好吃

The woman was just going to put some more hot buns into the window.

那个女人正准备把一些更热的包子放入窗户.

“If you please,” said Sara, “have you lost fourpence—a silver fourpence?”

Sara说:“如果你愿意的话,你失去了四便士——一银四便士吗?” “

And she held the forlorn little piece of money out to her.

她拿着那笔钱

The woman looked at it and then at her—at her intense little face and draggled, once fine clothes.

女人们看着它,然后看着她 -- -- 她的强烈的小脸被拖走,衣服曾是精美的。

“Bless us, no,” she answered.

她回答说, " 愿我们幸免于难 " 。

“Did you find it?”

“你找到它了吗? “

“Yes,” said Sara, “in the gutter.”

Sara说:“是的,”在地沟里。 “

“Keep it, then,” said the woman.

这位妇女说,“然后保留它”。

“It may have been there for a week, and goodness knows who lost it.

“它可能已经在那里呆了一个星期,而上帝知道谁失去了它。

You could never find out.”

你永远也找不到答案 “

“I know that,” said Sara, “but I thought I would ask you.”

Sara说,“我知道,”Sara说,“但我想问你。 “

“Not many would,” said the woman, looking puzzled and interested and good-natured all at once.

这位妇女说,“不会有很多人愿意,”她一看就感到迷惑和感兴趣,而且性格很好。

“Do you want to buy something?”

“你想买东西吗? “

she added, as she saw Sara glance at the buns.

她又说,她看到Sara看面包的时候

“Four buns, if you please,” said Sara.

Sara说:“四包面包,

“Those at a penny each.”

“每个一分钱。 “

The woman went to the window and put some in a paper bag.

女去窗后放入纸袋.

Sara noticed that she put in six.

莎拉注意到她放入了6个

“I said four, if you please,” she explained.

“我说了四个,如果你愿意的话,”她解释说。

“I have only fourpence.”

“我只有四便士。 “

“I’ll throw in two for makeweight,” said the woman with her good-natured look.

”这位女士说,

“I dare say you can eat them sometime.

“我敢说,有时你可以吃它们。

Aren’t you hungry?”

你不饿吗? “

A mist rose before Sara’s eyes.

一场雾在莎拉眼前升起。

“Yes,” she answered.

“是的”,她回答说。

“I am very hungry, and I am much obliged to you for your kindness; and” —she was going to add, “there is a child outside who is hungrier than I am.”

“我非常饥饿,我非常感谢你的好意;”——她要补充,“外面有一个孩子比我更饿。 “

But just at that moment two or three customers came in at once, and each one seemed in a hurry, so she could only thank the woman again and go out.

但就在那一刻,两到三个顾客一次进来,每个客人似乎都很匆忙,所以她只能再次感谢这个女人出门.

The beggar girl was still huddled up in the corner of the step.

乞女还被抱起入阶一角.

She looked frightful in her wet and dirty rags.

她的湿和脏布看起来很可怕

She was staring straight before her with a stupid look of suffering, and Sara saw her suddenly draw the back of her roughened black hand across her eyes to rub away the tears which seemed to have surprised her by forcing their way from under her lids.

她直视她面前,一副愚蠢的痛苦相貌,而Sara看见她突然从她粗糙的黑手上划出后背来抹去眼泪,眼泪似乎使她感到惊讶,因为她被迫从被子下走来.

She was muttering to herself.

她自言自语

Sara opened the paper bag and took out one of the hot buns, which had already warmed her own cold hands a little.

Sara打开了纸袋并取出一个热包,这包已经让自己的冷手取暖了一点.

“See,” she said, putting the bun in the ragged lap, “this is nice and hot.

她说,“你看,”把包放在被打乱的腿上,“这是好热的。

Eat it, and you will not feel so hungry.”

吃了它,你就不会觉得这么饿了。 “

The child started and stared up at her, as if such sudden, amazing good luck almost frightened her; then she snatched up the bun and began to cram it into her mouth with great wolfish bites.

孩子开始并凝视她,仿佛如此突然,惊人的好运气几乎吓倒了她;然后她抓住了包子并开始用巨大的狼咬入口中.

“Oh, my!

" 哦,天呐!

Oh, my!”

天呐!"

Sara heard her say hoarsely, in wild delight.

Sara听到她说 粗鲁地,在野外快乐。

“Oh my!”

"天呐!"

The sound in the hoarse, ravenous voice was awful.

胡言乱语的声音很可怕

Sara took out three more buns and put them down.

萨拉又取出三个包子放倒了.

“She is hungrier than I am,” she said to herself.

她对自己说:“她比我还饿”。

“She’s starving.”

" 她饿了。 “

But her hand trembled when she put down the fourth bun.

但是她放下了第四个包后手会颤抖

“I’m not starving,” she said—and she put down the fifth.

她说:“我不饿,

The little ravening London savage was still snatching and devouring when she turned away.

小乌鸦的伦敦野蛮人 仍然在抢走和吞噬 当她转身。

She was too ravenous to give any thanks, even if she had ever been taught politeness—which she had not.

她太贪婪,无法感谢她,即使她曾被教过礼貌——她没有。

She was only a poor little wild animal.

她只是一个可怜的小野兽

“Good-bye,” said Sara.

Sara说,“再见。”

When she reached the other side of the street she looked back.

当她到达街道的另一边时,她回头看。

The child had a bun in each hand and had stopped in the middle of a bite to watch her.

孩子每只手都有一个包子,在被咬的中间停下来看她.

Sara gave her a little nod, and the child, after another stare—a curious lingering stare—jerked her shaggy head in response, and until Sara was out of sight she did not take another bite or even finish the one she had begun.

莎拉给她点了个点头,孩子在另一只眼睛——一个令人好奇的留恋——一眼后,用她那头发发抖来回应她,直到莎拉不在眼前,她才再咬一口,甚至没有完成她开始的那只。

At that moment the baker woman looked out of her shop window.

那一刻,面包师从她店的窗户外望出。

“Well, I never!”

"我从来没有!"

she exclaimed.

她叹为观止

“If that young un hasn’t given her buns to a beggar child!

“如果那个年轻人没有把包子送给乞丐孩子,

It wasn’t because she didn’t want them, either.

这并非因为她也不想要。

Well, well, she looked hungry enough.

她看起来很饿

I’ d give something to know what she did it for.”

我给一些东西, “

She stood behind her window for a few moments and pondered.

她站在窗后片刻想着

Then her curiosity got the better of her.

然后她的好奇心变得更好。

She went to the door and spoke to the beggar child.

她走到门口,和乞丐的孩子说话.

“Who gave you those buns?”

“谁给你的包? “

she asked her.

她问她。

The child nodded her head toward Sara’s vanishing figure.

孩童将头指向Sara已消失的身材。

“What did she say?”

“她说了什么? “

inquired the woman.

问了那个女人

“ Axed me if I was ’ungry,” replied the hoarse voice.

“...... 若我生气,

“What did you say?”

“你刚才说什么? “

“Said I was jist.”

“说,我是热闹的。 “

“ And then she came in and got the buns, and gave them to you, did she?”

“...... 然后她进来拿了包子 送给你,是吗? “

The child nodded.

孩子点头了

“How many?”

“有多少人? “

“Five.”

“五。”

The woman thought it over.

妇人思之.

“Left just one for herself,” she said in a low voice.

她低调地说,“只留给自己一个。”

“ And she could have eaten the whole six— I saw it in her eyes.”

“...... 她本可以吃上六口的 我从她的眼睛里看到了 “

She looked after the little draggled far-away figure and felt more disturbed in her usually comfortable mind than she had felt for many a day.

她照顾着那个被拖累的遥远的身材,在她通常舒适的心智中感到比她一天多的感受更加不安.

“I wish she hadn’t gone so quick,” she said.

她表示:「我希望她走得没那么快,

“I’m blest if she shouldn’t have had a dozen.”

“如果她不该有一打, “

Then she turned to the child.

然后她转向孩子。

“ Are you hungry yet?”

“...... 你饿了吗? “

she said.

她说。

“I’m allus hungry,” was the answer, “but ’t ain’t as bad as it was.”

“我饿死了,”答案是“但是, “

“Come in here,” said the woman, and she held open the shop door.

这位妇女说,“进来”,她打开了店门。

The child got up and shuffled in.

那孩子起来洗了个澡

To be invited into a warm place full of bread seemed an incredible thing.

被邀请到一个充满面包的温暖的地方 似乎不可思议

She did not know what was going to happen.

她不知道会发生什么。

She did not care, even.

她甚至不关心。

“Get yourself warm,” said the woman, pointing to a fire in the tiny back room.

这位妇女说,“让自己暖和一下,”她指着一个小后室的起火。

“ And look here; when you are hard up for a bit of bread, you can come in here and ask for it.

“...... 且看这里;当你硬了一点面包,你可以进来索取.

I’m blest if I won’t give it to you for that young one’s sake.”

我最不高兴的是, “

Sara found some comfort in her remaining bun.

Sara在她剩下的包包里找到了一些安慰

At all events, it was very hot, and it was better than nothing.

在所有的事情,它非常热, 它比无。

As she walked along she broke off small pieces and ate them slowly to make them last longer.

当她沿着路走的时候,她解开了小块并慢慢地吃下去,让它们持续更久.

“Suppose it was a magic bun,” she said, “and a bite was as much as a whole dinner.

她说,“说这是个神奇的包子,”“咬一口就等于整个晚餐。

I should be overeating myself if I went on like this.”

如果我继续这样的话,我应该吃得太多了 “

It was dark when she reached the square where the Select Seminary was situated.

当她来到神学院所在的广场时,天色很黑。

The lights in the Large Family house were all lighted.

Frequently at this hour she could see the gentleman she called Mr.

Montmorency sitting in a big chair, with a small swarm round him, talking, laughing, perching on the arms of his seat or on his knees or leaning against them.

On the contrary, it was evident that a journey was to be taken, and it was Mr.

A brougham stood before the door, and a big portmanteau had been strapped upon it.

The children were dancing about, chattering and hanging on to their father.

The pretty rosy mother was standing near him, asking final questions.

Sara paused a moment to see the little ones lifted up and kissed and the bigger ones bent over and kissed also.
