It was the same with her today as when she was a ragged , slouching child who fell into reveries in front of the chocolate maker s sweet - stuff shows or stood listening to a musical box in a neighboring shop or fell into supreme ecstasies over cheap , vulgarly designed knickknacks , such as nutshell workboxes , ragpickers baskets for holding toothpicks , vendome columns and luxor obelisks on which thermometers were mounted 就像過去一樣,那時她是一個小女孩,拖著舊拖鞋,站在巧克力店的糖果柜臺前,出神地看著,或聽隔壁一家店里彈風琴的聲音,特別吸引她的是那些價格便宜的小玩藝兒,如核桃殼針線盒,放牙簽的小簍子,圓柱形或方碑形寒暑表。

There was no superfluous ornament in the room - not one modern piece of furniture , save a brace of workboxes and a lady s desk in rosewood , which stood on a side - table : everything - including the carpet and curtains - looked at once well worn and well saved 除了放在書桌上的對針線盒和青木女用書臺,房間里沒有多余的裝飾品沒有一件現代家具。包括地毯和窗簾在內的一切,看上去既陳舊而又保養得很好。

No , never : we might do what we pleased ; ransack her desk and her workbox , and turn her drawers inside out ; and she was so good - natured , she would give us anything we asked for 我們愛怎么干就可以怎么干。搜她的書桌和針線盒,把她的抽屜翻得底朝天。而她的脾氣卻那么好,我們要什么她就給什么。 ”
