When she entered the house she perceived in a moment from her mother's triumphant manner that something had occurred in the interim.
她進了家，立刻就從她母親得意洋洋的臉色上看出，在她不在家這段時間里，已經(jīng)發(fā)生了什么事。

'Oh yes; I know all about it! I told 'ee it would be all right, and now 'tis proved!'
“啊，我說得不錯吧；我全知道啦！我告訴過你這件事是不會錯的，現(xiàn)在不是證實了？”

'Since I've been away? What has?' said Tess rather wearily.
“是不是我不在家時發(fā)生了什么事？又證實了什么事？”苔絲十分厭倦地說。

Her mother surveyed the girl up and down with arch approval, and went on banteringly: 'So you've brought 'em round!'
她的母親一臉調皮的神氣，把女兒上上下下打量了一番，開玩笑地說：“你到底討得他們的歡心了！”

'How do you know, mother,'
“你是怎樣知道的，母親？”

'I've had a letter.'
“我收到了一封信?！?/div>

Tess then remembered that there would have been time for this.
這時苔絲才想起來，是有時間把信送到這兒。

'They say - Mrs d'Urberville says - that she wants you to look after a little fowl-farm which is her hobby. But this is only her artful way of getting 'ee there without raising your hopes. She's going to own 'ee as kin - that's the meaning o'.'
“他們說——德貝維爾太太說——養(yǎng)雞是她的愛好，她有一個小小的養(yǎng)雞場，想讓你去照料。不過這只是她的委婉說法，既要你去她那兒，又不激發(fā)起你的希望。她是想認你做親戚呀——這就是她的意思?！?/div>

'But I didn't see her.'
“可是我沒有見過她呀?！?/div>

'You zid somebody, I suppose?'
“我想你見到過什么人吧？”

'I saw her son.'
“我見到過她的兒子?！?/div>

'And did he own 'ee?'
“他認不認你做親戚呀？”

'Well - he called me Coz.'
“哦——他叫我堂妹。”
