She ran with long gandery strides it was a wonder she didn t rip up her skirt at the side that was too tight on her because there was a lot of the tomboy about cissy caffrey and she was a forward piece whenever she thought she had a good opportunity to show off and just because she was a good runner she ran like that so that he could see all the end of her petticoat running and her skinny shanks up as far as possible 她像雄鵝一般邁著大步跑,裙子箍得那么緊,令人驚異的是居然沒裂開。西茜卡弗里頗像個假小子,只要認為有個一顯身手的機會,就不放棄。她有雙飛毛腿,跑起來她那皮包骨的腿肚子抬得高高的,能夠讓他看到她的襯裙下擺。

There was nothing there which she could not have used - nothing which she did not long to own . the dainty slippers and stockings , the delicately frilled skirts and petticoats , the laces , ribbons , hair - combs , purses , all touched her with individual desire , and she felt keenly the fact that not any of these things were in the range of her purchase 這里沒有一樣商品是她用不上的,沒有一件東西是她不想擁有的:那些精美的舞鞋和長統襪,飾有漂亮縐邊的裙子和襯裙,還有花邊緞帶梳子錢包,這一切的一切都激起了她的種種欲望,但她痛苦地認識到這里沒有一樣東西是她買得起的。

As now , the total costs of the enterprise were sometimes added up and found to be daunting : not only bibs , swaddlebands , petticoats and tail - clouts ( nappies ) but , before long , schoolbooks , boots and replacement of church windows broken by tennis balls 給他們喂奶,穿上柔軟的拖鞋,讓他們咀嚼著像章和倚著木框學步,撫養孩子的全部花費讓人生畏,就像現在一樣,不只是肚兜,襁褓,襯裙和尿布,還有隨后的課本,靴子和賠給教堂用來換窗戶玻璃的錢? ?那是被網球打破的。

The age had not so much refinement , that any sense of impropriety restrained the wearers of petticoat and farthingale from stepping forth into the public ways , and wedging their not unsubstantial persons , if occasion were , into the throng nearest to the scaffold at an execution 那年月沒有那么多文明講究,身著襯裙和撐裙的女人們公然出入于大庭廣眾之中,只要有可能,便要撅動姻們那并不嬌弱的軀體,擠進最靠近刑臺的人群中去,也不會緞入什么不成體統的感覺。

As to the men , they were not numerous . there were ten or fifteen of them at the outside , and if we except four tall fellows who had come to see the sight and were cracking jokes and taking things easy , they behaved humbly enough amid this whelming flood of petticoats 飯店里的男客,為數不多,至多十到十五人,在這潮水般的裙子中間,他們的態度十分謙恭,只有四個漢子是專門來看看這一場面的,他們說說笑笑,無拘無束。

The gentlemen were blinking in bewilderment over the wild whirl of petticoats eddying at the foot of the narrow stairs . it made them desperate to think they had waited so long , only to see them all flying away like this without being able to recognize a single one 這些先生們眨著眼皮,看到那些旋渦般的裙子從狹窄的樓梯腳下過去,他們等了那么長時間,看見她們一個個走過去,卻沒有認出一個人來,非常掃興。

Satin did not go downstairs or put on a petticoat but simply went and leaned over the banisters and shouted her order to the portress s little girl , a chit of ten , who when she brought up the absinthe in a glass would look furtively at the lady s bare legs 她們的談話最后總是轉到男人身上,說男人怎樣骯臟。娜娜談起豐唐,令人厭煩她說不到十句話,就要嚕蘇一次,說豐唐是怎樣說的,豐唐是怎樣做的。

It flows purling , widely flowing , floating foampool , flower unfurling . under the upswelling tide he saw the writhing weeds lift languidly and sway reluctant arms , hising up their petticoats , in whispering water swaying and upturning coy silver fronds 在驚濤駭浪的海潮底下,他看到扭滾著的海藻正懶洋洋地伸直開來,勉強地搖擺著胳膊,裙裾撩得高又高190 ,在竊竊私語的水里搖曳并翻轉著羞怯的銀葉。

Nana felt very comfortable at satin s , sitting doing nothing on the untidy bed , while basins stood about on the floor at her feet and petticoats which had been bemired last night hung over the backs of armchairs and stained them with mud 娜娜覺得在她家里挺自在的,坐在亂糟糟的床上什么事也不干,眼看著臉盆隨便擺在地上,前一天濺上泥漿的裙子把沙發上沾了泥斑。

Marya hendrihovna lent them her petticoat to be hung by way of a curtain ; and screened by it , rostov and ilyin took off their wet things and put on dry clothes , with the aid of lavrushka , who had brought their packages 瑪麗亞亨里霍夫娜拿出一條裙子當帷幔,就在這張帷幔后,羅斯托夫和伊林在帶來背包的拉夫魯什卡的幫助下,換下濕衣服,穿上干衣服。

But they got no further in speech just then . they crept and crept , the hem of her petticoat just touching his gaiter , and his elbow sometimes brushing hers . at last the dairyman , who came next , could stand it no longer 不過當時他們沒有多說別的話,他們彎著腰不停地搜尋著,苔絲的裙邊正好碰到克萊爾的綁腿,克萊爾的胳膊肘有時也碰著了苔絲的胳膊。

When her coiffure was finished , natasha , in her mothers dressing - jacket and a short petticoat under which her dancing - shoes could be seen , ran up to sonya , looked her over , and then ran to her mother 娜塔莎做好了發型,穿上短短的裙子,裙子底下看得見跳舞穿的皮鞋,還穿上一件母親的短上衣,跑到索尼婭面前,把她打量一番,然后就跑到母親跟前。

“ yes , and her petticoat ; i hope you saw her petticoat , six inches deep in mud , i am absolutely certain ; and the gown which had been let down to hide it not doing its office . “是呀,還有她的襯裙可惜你沒看到她的襯裙。我絕對不是瞎說,那上面糊上了有足足六英寸泥,她把外面的裙子放低了些,想把來遮蓋,可是遮蓋不住。 ”

Will you never have done gaping ! he shouted to the cook , who in her red petticoat , with her sleeves tucked up and her bare elbows swinging , had stepped to the corner to listen to what was being said “沒有什么可看的! ”他對廚娘喊道。那個廚娘穿著紅裙子,卷起袖子,搖擺著兩只裸露的胳膊肘,走到角落里,聽他們說話。

She s fond of that there child , though she mid pretend to hate en , and say she wishes the baby and her too were in the church - yard , observed the woman in the red petticoat “其實她心里才喜歡那孩子,別看她嘴里說什么但愿那孩子和她自己都死了才好, ”一個穿紅裙子的婦女說。
