"这件事就此圆满地解决了,海丝特·白兰便带着珠儿离开了宅邸。在她们走下台阶的时候,据信有一间小屋的格子窗给打开了,西宾斯太大把头探出来,伸到阳光下,她是贝灵汉总督的姐姐,脾气古怪刻毒,就是她,在若干年之后,作为女巫而被处决了。
"Hist, hist!" said she, while her ill-omenedphysiognomyseemed to cast a shadow over the cheerful newness of the house. "Wilt thou go with us to-night? There will be a merry company in the forest; and I well-nighpromised the Black Man that comely Hester Prynne should make one."
“喂,喂!她说,她那不祥的外貌象是给这座住宅的欣欣向荣的气氛投上了一层阴影。“你们今晚愿意同我们一道去吗?树林里要举行一次联欢,我已经答应过那黑男人,海丝特·白兰要来参加呢。
