The young girls formed, indeed, the majority of the band, and their heads of luxuriant hair reflected in the sunshine every tone of gold, and black, and brown. Some had beautiful eyes, others a beautiful nose, others a beautiful mouth and figure: few, if any, had all. A difficulty of arranging their lips in this crude exposure to public scrutiny, an inability to balance their heads, and to dissociate self-consciousness from their features, was apparent in them, and showed that they were genuine country girls, un-accustomed to many eyes.
年轻的姑娘们的确在游行的队伍中占了大多数，她们头上厚实的秀发在阳光的照耀下，反射出每一种金黄、乌黑和棕褐的颜色。有的姑娘眼睛漂亮，有的姑娘鼻子好看，有的姑娘嘴巴美观和身材秀美，但是如果说有人能够集众美于一身，那也没有几个人。由于在众目睽睽之下抛头露面，很明显她们对如何安排她们的嘴唇就感到困难了，对如何摆放她们的脑袋，如何使她们的自我意识同她们的形体分开，她们也感到无能为力。这表明她们都是素朴的乡村姑娘，还不习惯被许多眼睛注视。

And as each and all of them were warmed without by the sun, so each had a private little sun for her soul to bask in; some dream, some affection, some hobby, at least some remote and distant hope which, though perhaps starving to nothing, still lived on, as hopes will. Thus they were all cheerful, and many of them merry.
在她们每一个人的胸膛里，她们都有自己的小太阳照耀着灵魂，所以大家身上都暖烘烘的，不过不是被太阳晒热的；有些梦想，有些纯情，有些偏爱，至少有些遥远而渺茫的希望，虽然也许正在化为泡影，却仍然还在不断地滋长，因为希望是会不断滋长的。所以，她们每个人都精神振奋，许多人都欢欣鼓舞。

They came round by The Pure Drop Inn, and were turning out of the high road to pass through a wicket-gate into the meadows, when one of the women said--
他们绕过纯酒酒店，从一条大道走出来，准备拐弯穿过一道小栅栏门走进草地里去，这时有个妇女说—— 

'The Lord-a-Lord! Why, Tess Durbeyfield, if there isn't thy father riding hwome in a carriage!'
“唉呀，我的天啦！噢，苔丝·德北菲尔德，那坐着马车回家的不是你父亲呀！”

A young member of the band turned her head at the exclamation. She was a fine and handsome girl - not handsomer than some others, possibly - but her mobile peony mouth and large innocent eyes added eloquence to colour and shape. She wore a red ribbon in her hair, and was the only one of the white company who could boast of such a pronounced adornment. As she looked round Durbeyfield was seen moving along the road in a chaise belonging to The Pure Drop, driven by a frizzle-headed brawny damsel with her gown-sleeves rolled above her elbows. This was the cheerful servant of that establishment, who, in her part of factotum, turned groom and ostler at times. Durbeyfield, leaning back, and with his eyes closed luxuriously, was waving his hand above his head, and singing in a slow recitative--
听见这声惊讶，游行队伍中有个年轻的姑娘扭头看去。她是一个娟秀俊俏的姑娘——同有些别的姑娘比起来，也许不是更俊俏——但是她那生动的艳若牡丹的嘴，加上一双天真无邪的大眼睛，就为她的容貌和形象增添了动人之处。她的头发上系一根红色的发带，在一群穿白色衣服的队伍里，她是唯一能以这种引人注目的装饰而感到自豪的人。她回过头去，看见德北菲尔德正坐着纯酒酒店的马车沿道而来，赶车的是一个满头鬈发、体格健壮的姑娘，两只袖子卷到了胳膊肘以上。她是酒店里一个性格开朗的仆女，有时候喂马，有时候赶车。德北菲尔德在车里向后靠着，舒舒服服地闭着眼睛，一只手不停地在头顶上舞动着，嘴里头慢慢地哼着一首宣叙小调—— 

'I've-got-a-gr't-family-vault-at-Kingsbere - and knighted-forefathers-in-lead-coffins-there!'
“金斯比尔有我家的地下墓室——铅做的棺材里睡的是我的骑士祖先！”
