'And, more than this, there's Marian; she's been found dead drunk by the withy-bed - a girl who hev never been known to touch anything before except shilling ale; though, to be sure, 'a was always a good trencher-woman, as her face showed. It seems as if the maids had all gone out o' their minds!'
“这还不算,还有玛丽安呐;是在柳树林子边上找到她的,她醉得像死人一样——这个姑娘除了喝过一先令的淡啤酒外,还从来没有听说过她沾过其它的东西;当然,这姑娘的食量很大,这从她的脸上就可以看出来。今天那些女孩子,仿佛都是丧魂落魄的!”

'And Izz?' asked Tess.
“伊茨呢?”苔丝问。

'Izz is about house as usual; but 'a do say 'a can guess how it happened; and she seems to be very low in mind about it, poor maid, as well she mid be. And so you see, sir, as all this happened just when we was packing your few traps and your Mis'ess's night-rail and dressing things into the cart, why, it belated me.'
“伊茨还是像往常一样呆在家里;但是她说她猜得出来事情是怎样发生的;她的情绪似乎非常低落,可怜的姑娘。所以你知道,先生,所有这些事情发生的时候,我们正在收抬你的不多的几个包裹,还有你的夫人的睡衣和梳妆的东西,把它们装上大车,所以,我就来晚了。”

'Yes. Well, Jonathan, will you get the trunks upstairs, and drink a cup of ale, and hasten back as soon as you can, in case you should be wanted?'
“没关系。好啦。约纳森,请你帮着把箱子搬到楼上去吧,喝一杯淡啤酒,尽快赶回去吧,怕万一有需要用你的地方,是不是?”

Tess had gone back to the inner parlour, and sat down by the fire, looking wistfully into it. She heard Jonathan Kail's heavy footsteps up and down the stairs till he had done placing the luggage, and heard him express his thanks for the ale her husband took out to him, and for the gratuity he received. Jonathan's footsteps then died from the door, and his cart creaked away.
苔丝已经回到里面那间客厅里去了,坐在壁炉的旁边,正在那儿沉思默想。她听见约纳森上下楼梯的沉重脚步声,直到他把行李搬完了,听见他对她的丈夫倒给他的淡啤酒表示感谢,还感谢她丈夫给他小费。后来她听见约纳森的脚步声从门口消失了,大车的响声也去远了。

Angel slid forward the massive oak bar which secured the door, and coming in to where she sat over the hearth, pressed her cheeks between his hands from behind. He expected her to jump up gaily and unpack the toilet-gear that she had been so anxious about, but as she did not rise he sat down with her in the firelight, the candles on the supper-table being too thin and glimmering to interfere with its glow.
安琪尔用又大又重的橡木门栓把门拴好,然后走到苔丝坐的壁炉跟前,从后面用双手捂住苔丝的眼睛。他希望她快活地跳起来,去把她焦急等待的梳妆用具打开,但是她没有站起来,他就在炉火前同她一块儿坐下,晚餐桌上的蜡烛太细小了,发出的亮光无法同炉火争辉。

'I am so sorry you should have heard this sad story about the girls,' he said. 'Still, don't let it depress you. Retty was naturally morbid, you know.'
“真是对不起,那几个女孩子不幸的事都让你听见了,”他说。“你不要再把这些事放在心上了。莱蒂本来就有些疯疯癫癫的,你是知道的。”
