狄更斯雙語小說:《董貝父子》第27章Part 10

'By no means. Where would you wish it taken from?' she answered, turning to him with the same enforced attention as before.
Mr Dombey, with another bow, which cracked the starch in his cravat, would beg to leave that to the Artist.
'I would rather you chose for yourself,' said Edith.
'Suppose then,' said Mr Dombey, 'we say from here. It appears a good spot for the purpose, or - Carker, what do you think?'
There happened to be in the foreground, at some little distance, a grove of trees, not unlike that In which Mr Carker had made his chain of footsteps in the morning, and with a seat under one tree, greatly resembling, in the general character of its situation, the point where his chain had broken.
'Might I venture to suggest to Mrs Granger,' said Carker, 'that that is an interesting - almost a curious - point of view?'

“我可不可以向格蘭傑夫人十分冒昧地建議，”卡克說道，“那個地方是個有趣的、甚至可以說是個奇妙的景色吧？”
她的眼睛順着他馬鞭所指的方向看去，又迅速地擡起眼睛看看他的臉。這是她被介紹認識以後第二次交換的眼光，簡直就和第一次眼光一模一樣，只是它的表情更爲明白罷了。
“您喜歡那裏嗎？”伊迪絲問董貝先生。
“它將會使我心醉神迷，”董貝先生對伊迪絲說。
