LESSON 1 1.“A note … the couple …” P As soon as the husband and wife becomes the focus of the story, an inharmonious atmosphere is felt … T 当镜头一聚焦在这对夫妇身上是你，一些不和谐的气氛产生了：家里的咖啡已经用完好几天了，他自己担心的是这个奢侈品，一条毫无用处的绳子，而没有带咖啡回来。 2.“… he affords … meaningless’ rope.” P … he lavishes money on a rope that is believed “useless” and “meaningless”. 3.(L10) “Gosh, no, he hadn’t. Lord …” E Both “Gosh” and “Lord” are euphemisms for “God” and exclamations to express surprise or make emphasis. 4.(L10-11) “Yes, he … killed him.” P Yes, he would (go back) (even) if going back killed him. T: 唷，他没买。多冤，现在他还得跑一趟才行。可不是吗，累死也得去。“Suppose they … of cigarettes?” P What about they using up cigarettes? 假如说吧，他们的烟卷抽完了会怎么样?“… but she … more rope.” P … but she thought that at that moment when they didn’t have much money, it was very strange and unreasonable to buy extra rope. 不过她觉得眼下一分钱得顶一分钱花的时候，再买绳子未免出奇。“He was … his face.” P He was about to say that they could certainly find a way to live a life. At that time she suddenly jumped on him and warned that if he said that she would beat him on the face. 他本想说，他们一定总有办法的，话还没出口，她已经冲着他说，要是他告诉她总有办法，她准给他一个耳刮子。 “She knew … it otherwise.” P She knew very well that they couldn’t get the money if he hadn’t stayed in town last summer to do a lot of jobs. 她明明知道他们没有别的活路。“If you … his craw.” P If you thought what you had said didn’t make me angry, then you were wrong. Because I’m already angry, so shut up! 瞧她净瞎叨叨些什么呀?她跟他讲过，她一个人在乡下那两礼拜是她四年来最高兴的日子，这些话她忘了吗?她说这话的时候，他们结婚多久啦得啦，闭上嘴吧她还当这些话堵在他心里好受不成。 “… she might … for all!” P she should be able to understand completely the fact that her husband is the family’s bread earner. 她又要来那一套了吗?她跟他一样清楚，他干的工作经常有进款，她干的偶尔才有点儿，要．是他们靠她挣的呀……她把这个问题上的意见一下子兜底全端出来倒好“… crying out … to hell” E This has a sense of black humor. The rope was only bought for “it might come in handy for” something. But now it seems the man can use it to hang himself and “go to hell”. 她猛地一扭身挣脱了，叫他拿上绳子见鬼去吧，她跟他一刀两断啦，说完掉头就走。只听她那双家常穿的高跟拖鞋踢里踏拉上了楼。 jostle (vt.) (of a person
