晚上，他们在厨房里轮流高声朗读班卓帕特森和CJ丹尼斯的诗。节奏轻松自由的《从斯诺依河来的人》使他们激动颤栗；《多愁善感的家伙》使他们纵声大笑；约翰奥哈拉的《欢笑的玛丽》使他

现在，由于游牧官道已经从地图上消失，浪游者和本地居民的关系就和睦多了。 偶尔骑马而来，求一口啤酒，聊聊天，吃一顿家常便饭的牲口商是受欢迎的。有时，他们带着妇女，赶着由擦破

这是一头又野又凶的牲口，它的圈棚被严格地建在圈地之外。梅吉对它怕得要命，从不到它附近的地方去。狗都关在窝里，拴着链子。在帕迪或鲍勃的监视下，狗的交配是以科学方法进行的，

这使他焦躁不安，辗转反侧。同时，他承认还有另一个孤独的人与梅吉同时存在着：那就是这个被他击败的冷酷残忍的母老虎，这个被他愚弄的傲慢专横的女人。哦，他一直就打算这样干的！

That's what I'm here for, that's why I'm a priest. I am Our Lord's chosen representative here on earth, I listen on His behalf, I even forgive on His behalf. And, wee Meggie, there is nothing in God's universe He and I cannot find it in our hearts to

因为他受过神学院的严格教育，这套特殊把戏，他根本不放在眼里。但是，那些姑娘们决不会讲述那些会使她们降低身份的秘事。 拉尔夫德布里克萨特神父竭力想阻止一股热潮在自己的皮肤下

But it continues every month until you're about fifty, and in some women it's as regular as the phases of the moon, in others it's not so predictable. Some women have no pain with it, others suffer a lot of pain. No one knows why it's so different fr

It took all the fear and anguish away. Yet she was young, full of curiosity, eager now to know all there was to know, and not troubled by the perplexing philosophies of those who constantly question not the who of themselves but the why. He was her f

Mary Carson was going to be seventy-two years old, and she was planning the biggest party to be held on Drogheda in fifty years. Her birthday fell at the start of November, when it was hot but still bearable-at least for Gilly natives. Mark that, Mrs

由于门厅内一移动东西或有人喊叫就会产生一种非同一般的回声，玛丽卡森便从高背椅上移到了书桌旁；她把一张羊皮纸拉到面前，用钢笑在墨水池里蘸了蘸，开始写信。信是一气呵成的，甚

thinking that was Daddy's way of saying no. To learn under the aegis of Father Ralph cast her into a joy which she didn't show, for by this time her adoration of Father Ralph had turned into an ardent, very girlish crush. Knowing it was quite impossi

哼！拉尔夫德布里克萨特尤其看得清，什么都逃不过这个男人的眼睛。 她的双手发抖了，钢笔中的墨水在信纸的下方洒下一串深蓝色的点子。那嶙峋的手指从文件格中抽出了另外一张纸，钢笔

她一看到这情形心里就明白了，虽然她以前从来没有见过人死去。他看起来像个玩偶，不像个孩子。她站了起来，到外面去找那些弯着腰围坐在厨房的火旁心神不安地守夜的男孩子们。史密斯

Going to bed in icy bedrooms, getting up in icy bedrooms, waiting patiently for Mum to spare a little hot water from the great kettle on the hob so that washing was not a teeth-chattering, painful ordeal. One day small Hal started to cough and wheeze

倏忽即逝的链状闪光在云层里驰掣游动，时而飞出云底，时而钻入云中，明明灭灭，蔚为壮观。草原中被雷电击中的孤树散发着焦糊味，冒着烟；他们终于明白这些孤零零的牧场卫士为何死去

I'll make you sell yourself like any painted whore. Do you doubt it? He leaned back, smiling. I don't doubt you'll try. But I don't think you know me as well as you think you do. Do I not? Time will tell, Ralph, and only time. I'm old; I have nothing

Fee and Meggie would strew it with sawdust Stuart carefully collected from the woodheap, sprinkle the sawdust with precious particles of water and sweep the damp, pungent-fragrant mess away out of doors, down off the veranda onto the vegetable garden

在厨房里，他将这对双生子交给了欣喜若狂的史密斯太太，然后将梅吉带在身边，顺着走道向上房走去。 玛丽卡森正坐在高背椅中。这些年来，她很难得离开它走动走动：由于帕迪督办诸事得

尽管来人中大多数都是游民，但也不尽然，譬如，其中就有一个驾着老式的T型福特汽车而来的沃特金斯人。他什么都贩运。从马的涂抹剂到香皂；这种香皂和菲在洗衣的铜盆里用脂肪和苛性碱

No one ever knew what Stuart was thinking; like Fee, he spoke little and never aired an opinion. And he had a curious knack of being utterly still, as still within himself as he was in body, and to Meggie, closest to him in age, it seemed he could go
