''Tis coming!' cried Mrs Crick, and the attention of all was called off from Tess.
“黄油出来了,”克里克太太叫喊起来,于是大家对苔丝的注意就转移开了。

That fair sufferer soon recovered herself externally, but she remained much depressed all the afternoon. When the evening milking was done she did not care to be with the rest of them, and went out of doors wandering along she knew not whither. She was wretched - O so wretched - at the perception that to her companions the dairyman's story had been rather a humorous narration than otherwise; none of them but herself seemed to see the sorrow of it; to a certainty, not one knew how cruelly it touched the tender place in her experience. The evening sun was now ugly to her, like a great inflamed wound in the sky. Only a solitary cracked-voiced reed-sparrow greeted her from the bushes by the river, in a sad, machine-made tone, resembling that of a past friend whose friendship she had outworn.
心中痛苦的那个女孩子,表面上看不久也恢复过来了;不过整个下午她都闷闷不乐。傍晚的牛奶挤完以后,她不愿意和其他的人呆在一起,就走出门外,独自闲走着,就是连自己也不知道走到哪儿去。她很痛苦——啊,她是这样地痛苦——因为她发现,奶牛场老板的故事在她的伙伴们听来,只不过是一件幽默的笑料,此外再没有别的;除了她自己而外,谁也没有看出故事中的悲伤来;肯定没有人知道,这个故事多么残酷地触及了她经历中最敏感的地方。西下的夕阳此刻在她看来也变得丑恶了,好像是空中出现的一道巨大的红色伤口。只有一只声音嘶哑的芦雀,在河边的树丛中用悲伤机械的音调向她打招呼,就像一个已经没有了友谊的从前的朋友向她打招呼的声音一样。

In these long June days the milkmaids, and, indeed, most of the household, went to bed at sunset or sooner, the morning work before milking being so early and heavy at a time of full pails. Tess usually accompanied her fellows upstairs. To-night, however, she was the first to go to their common chamber; and she had dozed when the other girls came in. She saw them undressing in the orange light of the vanished sun, which flushed their forms with its colour; she dozed again, but she was reawakened by their voices, and quietly turned her eyes towards them.
在六月份白天很长的天气里,挤牛奶的女工们,实际上她们是奶牛里的大多数,在太阳刚落或在比这更早的时候就上床睡觉了,因为这是牛奶丰产的季节,所以早上挤奶前的工作又早又累。平常苔丝总是陪着她的伙伴们一起上楼。但是今天晚上,苔丝最先回到了她们的公共寝室;等到其他的女工们回到寝室的时候,她已经朦朦胧胧地睡去了。她被吵醒了,看见她们在夕阳的橘黄色光照里脱掉衣服,身上也染上了夕阳的橘黄颜色;她又在朦胧中睡过去了,不过也给她们的说话声吵醒了,就悄悄地转过头看着她们。

Neither of her three chamber-companions had got into bed. They were standing in a group, in their nightgowns, barefooted, at the window, the last red rays of the west still warming their faces and necks, and the walls around them. All were watching somebody in the garden with deep interest, their three faces close together: a jovial and round one, a pale one with dark hair and a fair one whose tresses were auburn.
她的三个伙伴一个也没有上床睡觉。她们穿着睡衣,光着脚,一起站在窗前,夕阳最后的红色残照,仍然在温暖着她们的面颊、脖子和身后的墙壁。她们三个人把脸挤在一起,饶有兴趣地注视着花园里某个人;在她们中间,一个是一张快活的圆脸,一个是长着黑头发的灰白脸,还有一个是长着红褐色鬈发的白净脸。
