We couldn't go outside at all on that cold, rainy afternoon.The rain was pouring down, and the wind was blowing hard.I didn't care, I was happy to stay indoors.Trying to take long walks in the winter was terrible! It was supposed to be healthy for our bodies, but I hated coming home in the dark with my feet and hands as cold as ice. And I was always unhappy because Bessie, one of the servants, was always scolding me. I had always known that I was different from my cousins, John, Eliza, and Georgiana Reed. They were prettier and taller than I, and everyone loved them. These three children were not very nice to other people or to each other. Usually they spent their time fighting, and crying with each other. However, today they were with their mother in the sitting room, sitting quietly and talking in front of the warm fire. I wanted to join them but Mrs. Reed, my aunt,said I could not. She was angry with me because Bessie had told her I was being troublesome
那天没有散步的可性了，尽管那天上午我们还在疏落的灌木丛中游走逛了一个钟头，可自从吃午饭起，就刮起了凛冽的寒风。随之而来的是滚滚乌云和彻骨寒雨，这时再到户外活动就不行了。 我却很高兴。我从来就不喜欢远距离散步，尤其是在寒冷的下午。对我来说，在阴冷的傍晚回到家中，不仅手脚冻得僵硬，而且还得忍受保姆贝茜的数落，况且又自觉体格不如里德家的伊莱莎.约翰以及乔治安娜壮实，对此心里既难过又惭愧，那情形委实可怕。 ——译文来自: jiecome
