supplicant

I retired to my own room , read over the letters of osip alexyevitch , recalled my conversations with him , and from all that i reached the conclusion that i ought not to refuse a suppliant , and ought to hold out a helping hand to every one , and , above all , to a person so closely connected with me , and that i must bear my cross 我回到自己房間里,把約瑟夫阿列克謝耶維奇的信件翻閱了幾遍,想起了我和他的談話,從中得出結論,我不應拒絕請求的人,我應該向每個人伸出援助的手,何況這個人和我的關系這么密切,我應當忍氣吞聲痛苦地度日。

She was now experiencing the first shades of feeling of that subtle change which removes one out of the ranks of the suppliants into the lines of the dispensers of charity 她正初次體驗到從一個乞討者變為施舍者的那種微妙的感情變化。總之,她非常非常地快樂。

Madame defarge looked , coldly as ever , at the suppliant , and said , turning to her friend the vengeance 德伐日太太一如平時冷冷地望了望乞求者,轉身對復仇女神說:

And now , and for the first time , he was a suppliant , tender and timid and doubting 可現在他第一次變成了個溫柔羞怯忐忑不安的追求者。

He knelt as a suppliant at the altar 他跪在祭壇前祈禱。
