quadrillion

The movements of the other women were more or less similar to tess s , the whole bevy of them drawing together like dancers in a quadrille at the completion of a sheaf by each , every one placing her sheaf on end against those of the rest , till a shock , or stitch as it was here called , of ten or a dozen was formed 其他的婦女捆麥子的動作大體上同苔絲差不多,她們每個人捆好一捆,就像跳四對方舞的人一樣,從四面聚攏來,把各自的麥捆靠著別人的豎在一起,最后形成了十捆或十二捆的一堆,或者按當地人說的那樣,形成一垛。

Teresa felt a flush pass over her face ; she looked at luigi , who could not refuse his assent . luigi slowly relinquished teresa s arm , which he had held beneath his own , and teresa , accompanied by her elegant cavalier , took her appointed place with much agitation in the aristocratic quadrille 他慢慢地松開了德麗莎的手臂,那本來是夾在自己的手臂底下的,而德麗莎,在她那位舞伴的陪伴下,非常興奮地站到了那貴族式的四對舞中她所該站的位置上。

You may not have lived much under the sea - i haven t , said alice - and perhaps you were never even introduced to a lobster - alice began to say i once tasted - but checked herself hastily , and said no , never - so you can have no idea what a delightful thing a lobster quadrille is “從來沒住過, ”愛麗絲說“你也許從來不認識蝦吧! ”愛麗絲剛想說“我吃過” ,但立即改口,說“從來沒有” , “所以你一點也想不到蝦四組舞有多么好玩。 ”

People were dancing , there was a great deal of shouting and , during one of the quadrilles , i saw marguerite dancing with count de n who looked inordinately proud to be showing her off , as though he were declaring to the assembled company 大家跳著舞,甚至還大聲叫喊。在一次四組舞里,我看見瑪格麗特在跟n伯爵跳舞, n伯爵對自己能炫耀這樣一位舞伴顯得很神氣,他似乎在跟大家說:

It now first struck her that she was selected from among her sisters as worthy of being the mistress of hunsford parsonage , and of assisting to form a quadrille table at rosings , in the absence of more eligible visitors 她首先就想到他已經在她的幾個姐妹中間看中了她自己,認為她配做漢斯福牧師家里的主婦,而且當羅新斯沒有更適當的賓客時,打起牌來要是三缺一,她也可以湊湊數。

The quadrille had been most perfect , and it was evident there was a great demand for a repetition , carmela alone objecting to it , but the count of san - felice besought his daughter so earnestly , that she acceded 那一次的四對舞跳得非常成功,自然大家熱烈地要求再來一次。只有卡美拉一個人表示反對,但圣費里斯伯爵對他女兒的要求太懇切了,她終于也同意了。

On this subject ; and it was but the very saturday night before i left hunsford - between our pools at quadrille , while mrs . jenkinson was arranging miss de bourgh s foot - stool , that she said , “ mr . collins , you must marry ,就在我離開漢斯福的前一個星期六晚上,我們正在玩牌,姜金生太太正在為德包爾小姐安放腳蹬,夫人對我說:柯林斯先生,你必須結婚。

Lady catherine , sir william , and mr . and mrs . collins sat down to quadrille ; and as miss de bourgh chose to play at cassino , the two girls had the honour of assisting mrs . jenkinson to make up her party 咖苔琳夫人威廉爵士和柯林斯夫婦坐下來打“夸錐”德包爾小姐要玩“卡西諾” ,因此兩位姑娘就很榮幸地幫著姜金生太太給她湊足了人數。

However , she got up , and began to repeat it , but her head was so full of the lobster quadrille , that she hardly knew what she was saying , and the words came very queer indeed : - 然而,她還是站起來背了。可是她腦子里仍然充滿蝦四組舞的事,簡直不知道自己在說些什么。她背出來的東西確實非常奇怪:

When the quadrille was over , i went over and said good evening to the hostess who , for the benefit of her guests , was displaying a dazzling pair of shoulders and much of her magnificent breasts 女主人美麗的肩膀和半裸著的迷人的胸脯展現在全體賓客的面前,在四組舞以后,我走過去向她致意。

She had almost all the honors of the quadrille , and if she were envious of the count of san - felice s daughter , we will not undertake to say that carmela was not jealous of her 那一次四對舞的風頭幾乎都被她一個人搶去了,而假如說她在妒嫉圣費里斯伯爵的女兒,我可不敢擔保卡美拉不妒嫉她。

The young man looked , bowed in obedience , and then went to teresa , and invited her to dance in a quadrille directed by the count s daughter 那青年人向著那只可愛的手指的方向看了一眼,鞠躬表示服從,然后走到德麗莎面前,邀請她去參加由伯爵的女兒所領舞的四對舞。

One of the cavaliers then hastened to invite teresa , without whom it was impossible for the quadrille to be formed , but the young girl had disappeared 于是有一個舞伴就急忙去請德麗莎,因為沒有她就組不成四對舞,但那年輕姑娘卻已經不見了。

At each cross - path was an orchestra , and tables spread with refreshments ; the guests stopped , formed quadrilles , and danced in any part of the grounds they pleased 來賓們收住腳步,組成四對一組的舞隊,各自隨意選了一塊地方跳起舞來。

She had also asked him twice to dine at rosings , and had sent for him only the saturday before , to make up her pool of quadrille in the evening 夫人曾經請他到羅新斯去吃過兩次飯,上星期六晚上還請他到她家里去打過“夸錐” 。

“ carmela wished to form a quadrille , but there was one lady wanting “卡美拉想跳一次清一色的四對舞,但還少一個女的。

Ladies and gentlemen , the imperial quadrille 各位先生女士,皇家方舞

Shall we try another figure of the lobster quadrille “我們再跳一節蝦四組舞好嗎? ”

Many a quadrille table was spoiled that memorable evening . 在這個令人難忘的夜晚,多少張牌桌給耽擱了。
