And at the proper moment the storm burst and the rain came down and the poets left off seeking for copy and huddled under a hawthorn tree. And they appeared as two exotic birds, lighted down from the Lord knows where. 顷刻间，暴雨倾盆，诗人停止了搜集素材，蜷缩在一颗山楂树下。他们像两只古怪的鸟雀，从只有上天知道的地方来此落脚。 And the lodgekeeper’s wife looked out from the window a fourth and last time, and the poets were in the act of departure. And the tragedy of their appearance was beyond all comparing. For the scarlet of the cravat of one had run down into the bosom of his shirt, so that he was, as it were, a robin-redbreast. And both were soaked to the uttermost. 第四次，也是最后一次，看门人的妻子向窗外望去，诗人们正要离开，样子狼狈极了。一个领带上的红颜色已流到了衬衫的胸部，活象一只红胸脯的知更鸟。两个人成了彻头彻尾的落汤鸡。 The girl Hannah was seventeen, and she had made almost all that array of cakes and pastries on the kitchen dresser. She stood looking at them, her healthy pink face glowing with pride. She wore a blue dress and a white apron, and her hair waved down her back to her waist in a golden-brown shower. 女孩汉娜17岁了。摆放在厨房橱柜里的各式各样的蛋糕、油酥点心几乎全是她做的。她站在那里欣赏着自己做的点心，健康红润的脸上流露出自豪的神情。她穿着一件蓝色的连衣裙，腰间扎着一条白色的围裙，那头金棕色的柔软顺滑的卷发沿着她的后背一直垂到腰间。 Hannah seemed to have been asleep for a long time. She woke slowly, feeling the grey light on her eyelids. Her hands, gnarled and shrunken, lay outside the blue-and-white coverlet. A shadowed white plait straggled over one shoulder, thinning to a thread-tied end as it reached her breast. 汉娜好像睡了很长时间才慢慢地醒来。一缕灰白的光线照到了她的眼睑上。那双粗糙的蜷缩着的双手露在蓝白相间的床罩外面。阴影里的那条白色的辫子散乱地披在肩膀上，用头绳扎着的细细的另一端一直垂到了她的胸前。 CULTURAL INFORMATION – PUBS How often people go to a pub?
