Lesson 3 Rope《绳》by Katherine Anne Porter(13)

黄源深English Book7 第3课 Lesson Three Rope的部分译文

place for his rope outside her kitchen? Had he stopped to consider there were seven God-forsaken rooms in the house, and only one kitchen?

啊，好吧，好吧——他能把那些东西放到壁橱里去吗？当然不行，壁橱里摆着扫帚、拖把和畚箕，再说他干吗不能在她的厨房外给他的绳找个地方呢？难道他竟然想不到这所房子里有七间倒霉的房间，可只有一间厨房吗？

He wanted to know what of it? And did she realize she was making a complete fool of herself? And what did she take him for, a three-year-old idiot? The whole trouble with her was she needed something weaker than she was to heckle and tyrannize over. He wished to God now they had a couple of children she could take it out on. Maybe he'd get some rest.

他想要知道，她到底怎么啦？她认识到自己在扮演一个彻头彻尾的大傻瓜
