The first love of anticipationhas not started dead without a sickness, the sadgirlonecannotrestall night, has suffereddawn, Carolynsimplyhas packed the baggage, leftownroom.
期待的初恋还没有开始就无疾而终,伤心的女孩一整夜都没能休息,一直捱到天亮,卡洛琳才简单地收拾了一下行李,离开了自己的房间。Sheplanned that leavesquietly, hemay notcare about itselfin any case.
她本打算悄悄地离开,反正他也不一定会在乎自己。Inhotelcorridorempty, leads toelevatorwithintoward left, the rightnot far awayis the Ericroom, aboutherlooked, is somewhat scruple, finallycannotbear the moral natureanticipated, but alsofound a veryreasonableexcuseforoneself, left without saying good-byeis disrespectfulregarding the education that sheacceptedfrom infancy to maturity.
酒店走廊里空荡荡的,向左通往电梯间,右边不远处就是艾瑞克的房间,她左右看了看,有些迟疑,最终还是没能忍住心底的一些期待,还为自己找了个很合理的理由,不告而别对于她从小到大接受的教养来说就太失礼了。Arrived atEricdoor, Carolynputs out a handaccording to a doorbell, was waiting forpeacefully, howcalculatedunder to sayat heartfastthatperhapshewill detain himself, thissheforgavethesewords of hisyesterday, shealwaysthoughtonewere a verytolerantgirl, let aloneshealsolikedhim.
来到艾瑞克房门口,卡洛琳伸手按了一下门铃,然后安静地等待着,心里快速盘算等下应该怎么说,或许他会重新挽留自己呢,这样的话她就原谅他昨天的那些话了,她从来都觉得自己是一个很宽容的女孩子,更何况她还那么喜欢他。Then the dooropens, yesterday afternoonthatstaturetall and slenderblondeappearedbeforeher, the girlsimplywaspinkfibroinnight clothes, in the markdemonstration of HungarianDepartmenthaunchinghas not been putting onotherthings, belowrevealedtwobright and cleanclearbeautifullegs, those images and scenes, appointedeveryone can seethatshedefinitelylivedlast nighthere.
然后房门打开,昨天下午那位个子高挑的金发女郎出现在她面前,女郎身上简单地系着一件粉红色丝质睡衣,匈部撑起的印痕显示里面并没有穿其他东西,下面露出两条光洁圆润的美腿,此情此景任谁都能看得出,她昨晚肯定住在这里。„Good morning, Miss Wilson, Eric is just taking a bath, whatmatter do youhave?” The Claudiabeing sidewayspolitenesshintsCarolynto come, not, because the girlbecomes the ill and wearyauramakesotherperformanceat presentsuddenly, sheis a veryintelligentwoman, on own initiativewill never inquire about the matters of otherEricwomen.
“早上好,威尔逊小姐,艾瑞克刚好在洗澡,你有什么事情吗?”克劳迪娅侧身礼貌地示意卡洛琳进来,并没有因为眼前女孩突然变得恹恹的气息而做出其他表现,她是一个很聪明的女人,从来不会主动过问艾瑞克身边其他女人的事情。Carolynstoodinhighin front ofmanyClaudia, somewhatfelt inferiorto shrink the neck, was suppressing the moral natureflood the bitterness, has pulled outunder the smallnosegently, saidin a low voice: „Miss Schiffer, Iwas onlygiveEricto say the soundto say goodbye, troubledyouto tellhimone, Ireturned toLondon.”卡洛琳站在比自己高了好多的克劳迪娅面前,有些自卑地缩了缩脖子,强忍着心底泛起的酸涩,轻轻抽了下小鼻子,低声道:“希弗小姐,我只是来给艾瑞克说声再见,麻烦你告诉他一声,我回伦敦了。”
The girlsaidthathas not waited forClaudiato answer, somein a panicwalktowardelevatorwithin.
女孩说完,没有等克劳迪娅回话,就有些仓惶地朝电梯间走去。
The Claudiaprobe headlooks at the back that a girlhas been absentminded. Turns back the guest room, has knocked the bathroomdoor, justmatterwill tellEric.克劳迪娅探头看了眼女孩失魂落魄的背影。走回客房,敲了敲浴室门,将刚刚的事情告诉了艾瑞克。Carolyngoes out of the hotel, is standingin the roadsidepreparesto block a rental car. Hearsbehindsomesoundsto shout itself, turns headto lookthatEricpursued.卡洛琳走出酒店,正站在路边准备拦一辆计程车。就听到身后有声音喊自己,扭头看去,艾瑞克已经追了出来。Ericarrives atside the girlto stand firm, relaxed, fastens the shirtfinaltwograins of knots. Said: „Carolyn, waits formeto sendyouto the airport, your girlIdid not feel relieved.”艾瑞克来到女孩身旁站定,才松了口气,将衬衫最后两粒扣子扣上。说道:“卡洛琳,等下我送你去机场吧,你一个女孩子我不放心。”
The girlis listening to the Ericwords, somewhatslightlyis movedat heartfirst, butspitefully the backpasses awayimmediately: „Does not use, Eric, you...... Goes backto accompanyMiss Schiffer, Icango back.”
女孩听着艾瑞克的话,心里先是有些小感动,但立刻就又赌气地背过身去:“不用了,艾瑞克,你还是……还是回去陪希弗小姐吧,我自己可以回去。”Eric the shirtknotis, has not paid attention toCarolynjustwords, receivesgirl'scompany transportpackage: „Walks. Iwill make the personhelpyoubuy the airplane ticket, nowshould betterfirsthave the breakfast, does not have the breakfastnot to be good.”艾瑞克将衬衣扣子系好,没理会卡洛琳刚刚的话,将女孩的小行李包接过来:“走吧。我会让人帮你买机票的,现在最好还是先吃早餐,不吃早餐可不行。”Ericsaidthatlooks atCarolynas beforesips the lightpowderlipmotionlessappearance, hasto use the unique skill, the small hand who puts out a handto hold on the girl, walkstoward the hotel.艾瑞克说完,看卡洛琳依旧抿着薄薄的粉唇一动不动的模样,只好使出绝招,伸手拉住女孩的小手,朝酒店内走去。Byinstance that the Ericwarmroughbig handholds on, Carolynresistanceat heartonclean of disappearance, is hanging down the smallhead, the cheekis red. Followslike the little darling of being obedientpeacefullysideEric.
被艾瑞克温暖粗糙的大手拉住的瞬间,卡洛琳心里的抗拒就消失的一干二净,低垂着小脑袋,脸蛋红红。像个听话的乖宝宝一样安静地跟在艾瑞克身边。Has the breakfast, EricbringsCarolynto take the car(riage) of hotelto rush toBerlinSchoenefeldAirport, helping the girltake the ticket, but alsorelated under LondonRachelhas when the time comes picked. Has been accompanying the girl, whengoes to the Londonflightto startto board craft, Ericfelt relieved that looks atCarolynto step onto the boardingchannel.
吃过早餐,艾瑞克带着卡洛琳乘坐酒店的车赶往柏林舍内费尔德机场,帮女孩取了票,还联系了下在伦敦的瑞切尔到时候接机。一直陪着女孩等到前往伦敦的航班开始登机,艾瑞克才放心地看着卡洛琳走上登机通道。Hears the dooropenedsound, by the living roomsofalookedslantinglyClaudia of televisionhaunches the bodybyto carry on the backto lookin the sofatoEric: „Packed off?”
听到房门被打开的动静,斜靠在客厅沙发上看电视的克劳迪娅撑起身体靠在沙发背上望向艾瑞克:“送走了?”
The Ericslight bow, walksto block the girlslenderwaist by the sofa.艾瑞克微微点头,走过来拦住女郎纤细的腰肢靠在沙发上。ClaudiafeelsEric some mood of losing, cannot bearsay: „Sinceyoualsolikeher, whyalsomakesherleave?”克劳迪娅感受到艾瑞克有些失落的情绪,忍不住道:“既然你也喜欢她,为什么还让她离开呢?”„BecauseIam a good person.”Shaking the head of Ericself-ridicules, saw that inbosom the girlcannot bear the petty action that shows the whites of the eyes, said: „Youknow that whoshewas?”
“因为我是个好人啊。”艾瑞克自嘲的摇了摇头,看到怀中女郎忍不住翻白眼的小动作,道:“你知道她是谁了?”„Howpossiblynot to know that BerkshireWillabdicates the countonlydaughter, last monthIheardinHollywood, onnewspapereverywhereinsayingyouplanned that marrieswith the opposite party, Icameyesterdaytime, but alsofearedyoubecauseIwill come the common peopleto expelme.”
“怎么可能不知道啊,伯克郡威尔逊伯爵唯一的女儿,上个月我在好莱坞的时候就听说了呢,报纸上到处都在说你打算与对方联姻,我昨天过来的时候,还怕你会因为我出身平民把我赶走呢。”Erichas pinchedon the Claudiasoftwaistgentlyunder: „Was good, do not teaseme, did youhave the breakfast?”艾瑞克在克劳迪娅软腰上轻轻捏了下:“好了,不要调侃我了,你吃早餐了吗?”„Naturally,”Claudiahee heesmiles, has rubbedrubbingtoward the Ericbosom: „Todaymustgo outto play, I can also makeyourtour guideOh.”
“当然,”克劳迪娅嘻嘻地笑着,往艾瑞克怀里蹭了蹭:“今天要出去玩啊,我也可以做你的导游哦。”Justsends offCarolynimmediatelybringsappearance of anothergirlbig crowd of people, EricIdid not havewhatworryactually, butpresented the wordsonnewspaper, definitelywill make the Carolynfamily memberfeelextremelyembarrassedly, Eric the planrejected, thinks, has turned out a travelingatlasfromtea tableonepile of magazine, turneda while, said: „Wego toothercitiesto transferrevolutions, thiscanthrow offpaparazzi, is Praguewhat kind of?”
刚刚把卡洛琳送走就立刻带另外一个女郎大庭广众的露面,艾瑞克本人倒是没有什么顾虑,但出现在报纸上的话,肯定会让卡洛琳极其家人感觉到难堪,艾瑞克本打算拒绝,想了想,又从茶几下面的一堆杂志里翻出了一本旅游图册,翻了一会儿,道:“我们去其他城市转转吧,这样可以甩掉狗仔,布拉格怎么样?”Claudiahas also collected the head, Pragueis the Czech Republiccapital, toBerlin, only then more than 200kilometers, but, the girlactuallyshakes the head saying: „Going toPraguemustmanage the visa, quick that although the tourist visamanages, but where wedefinitely are today impossibleto go.”克劳迪娅也将脑袋凑了过来,布拉格是捷克的首都,离柏林只有200多公里,不过,女郎却摇头道:“去布拉格要办签证啊,虽然旅游签证办的很快,但今天我们肯定是不可能去哪里的。”EricalsorespondedthatnowEUnewlywas founded for twoyears, hadsixmember nations. The fingerdialedto drawa whileon the map, EricselectsisHolland of EU countries: „Thatgoes toAmsterdam.”艾瑞克也反应过来,现在欧盟才刚刚成立两年时间,只有六个成员国。手指在地图上拨画了一会儿,艾瑞克才挑中同属欧盟国家的荷兰:“那就去阿姆斯特丹吧。”„Good, Ichange the clothes, givesmymanagerto telephonewhile convenient, hehelpsmediscuss that inParisnowrepresented the contract,”Claudiastood up, walkedtoward the bedroom.
“好啊,我去换衣服,顺便给我的经纪人打个电话,他现在在巴黎帮我谈一个代言合约,”克劳迪娅站起身,朝卧室走去。Ericturnscarelessly a travelingatlas, entered the bedroom, Claudiahas tradedone, is standingat the desk, pulls out the mobile phone and address bookfromherChanelpackageis searching the number.艾瑞克草草地将一本旅游图册翻完,也走进了卧室,克劳迪娅已经换好了一副,正站在书桌旁,从她的香奈儿包里掏出移动电话和通讯簿查找着号码。Erichas sweptthat sideClaudiaat will, was planning that walkstoward the closet, inthatmobile phonebyherhandwas actually captured the attention.艾瑞克随意地扫了一眼克劳迪娅那边,正打算朝衣柜走去,却被她手中的那支移动电话吸引住了目光。Claudiajustfound the managertemporarynumber, just about tohits, felt that Ericarrives at itselfbehind, put out a handto take awayownmobile phone, has held in the armsherwaistconveniently.克劳迪娅刚刚找到经纪人的临时号码,刚要打过去,就感觉艾瑞克来到自己身后,伸手过来拿走了自己的移动电话,顺手搂住了她的腰肢。Claudiaalsothinks that Ericcame the interestsuddenly, somewhatrebukedturns headto starehisoneeyes, just about to own initiativelieson the bigdesk, discovered that Ericwascarefullyis actually holding appreciatively her mobile phone.克劳迪娅还以为艾瑞克突然来了兴致,有些嗔怪地扭头瞪了他一眼,刚要主动趴在大书桌上,就发现艾瑞克却是在仔细地把玩着她的那支移动电话。Claudiahas blushedforoneselfjustthought, has transferred the bodytoEric: „Whatissuehas?”克劳迪娅为自己刚刚的念头脸红了下,转过身体正对着艾瑞克:“有什么问题吗?”InEricis graspingthatmobile phone. Someapologiesgatheredin front ofClaudiato kissunderhercurvedlip angle: „Sorry, the treasure, wepossiblycannot go toAmsterdam, perhapsbutpassessomedays. Icanleadyouto go toFinlandto transfer the revolutions.”艾瑞克手里握着那支移动电话。有些歉意地凑到克劳迪娅面前吻了下她弯弯的唇角:“抱歉,宝贝,我们可能去不了阿姆斯特丹了,不过或许过些日子。我可以带你去芬兰转转。”„Anything,” the Claudiadoubtsaskedonepuzzled.
“什么啊,”克劳迪娅疑惑不解地问了一句。Erichas referred to the mobile phonethatstriking‚nokia’symbolized: „Thisonlymobile phone came from Finland.”艾瑞克指了指移动电话上那个醒目的‘nokia’标志:“这只移动电话来自芬兰。”Claudiais havingconfusingexpressionas before, Ericsomewhatis excited, hehas been worrying aboutApple Inc., actually before neglecting the Applecell phoneto appear. Xiongdominates the globalmobile handset market over 40%sharesNokia, thissimilarlywasmaximummarket valueonceover2000hundred millionUSDjumbos.克劳迪娅依旧带着迷惑的表情,艾瑞克却有些兴奋,他一直记挂着苹果公司,却忽略了苹果手机出现之前。雄霸全球手机市场40以上份额的诺基亚,这同样是一家最高市值一度超过2000亿美元的巨无霸啊。Moreover, in the originalspace and time, Applestartsto risefrom2007slowly, the distancenow was too far, but the rapid development of Nokia is actually the matter that recent yearssoonwill have, ifnowcanhave a hand to meddle, will be a large amountwealth.
而且,原时空中,苹果是从2007年才开始慢慢崛起的,距离现在来说就太远了,而诺基亚的飞速发展却是最近几年就即将发生的事情,现在如果能插手进去,将又是一笔巨额的财富。

……Rachelsitsin the Heathrow Airportterminal, somewhatreluctantlylistens to the commotion of saying something to smooth things over, the visionto stare atnot far awayaccess. Until a familiarformappearsin the field of vision, Rachelrelaxed, stands upalsoto calculate that tonearbyappearance the worth looking atyouthsaid: „Sorry, Mr.Luke, mygirlfriendcame back.”瑞切尔坐在希思罗机场候机厅里,有些无奈地听着身旁一个搭讪者的聒噪,目光盯着不远处的出入口。直到一个熟悉的身影出现在视野内,瑞切尔才松了一口气,站起身道对旁边一个长相还算耐看的青年道:“抱歉,卢克先生,我女朋友回来了。”Rachelaboveaggravated the expressionin‚girlfriend’intentionally, said that no longerpays attention to the youthsurprisedexpression, walkstowardCarolyndirectly.瑞切尔故意在‘女朋友’上面加重了语气,说完不再理会青年惊讶的表情,径直朝卡洛琳走去。
After approaching, Racheldiscovered that Carolyndifference, ongirl'shigh and steepwhite and tendercheekdid not have the pastspiritual energy, lightbilabialsipsbecomes a line. The eyelashhangs down, the attractivegolden hair of fluffymicrovolumeactuallysoftlywas droopingat this time, eachwisp seems like thatlistless, youngpersonfluttersin the crowd. Justwas discardedanddrenched a pitifulkitty of heavy rainto the feeling of personlikeoneby the master.
走近之后,瑞切尔才发现卡洛琳的异样,女孩尖俏的白嫩脸蛋上丝毫没有了以往的灵气,薄薄的双唇抿成一条线。睫毛低垂,原本蓬松微卷的漂亮金发此时却软软地耷拉着,每一缕看起来都是那么无精打采,小小的人儿飘在人群里。给人的感觉就像一只刚刚被主人丢弃又淋了一场大雨的可怜猫咪。„Carolyn, youhow?”Rachelsteps outto walkto go forward, askedkindly.
“卡洛琳,你怎么了?”瑞切尔加快脚步走上前,关切地问道。Carolyngained groundto seeisRachel, the lipline that sipshadbroke downimmediately, the eyethrew the Rachelbosomred: „Hum, hum. Rachel, he...... Herejectedme.”卡洛琳抬头看到是瑞切尔,抿起的唇线立刻就垮了下来,眼睛红红地扑到了瑞切尔怀里:“呜呜,呜呜。瑞切尔,他……他拒绝我了。”AlsothinkshadRachel of anybigmatterto hearCarolynthese words, relaxedat heart, but, shealsoknowsthatregardingsmall girl of thisbeginning to be interested in the opposite sex, thisabsolutelywas a verybigattack, thereforeRachelcloselygrasped the girl, pattedherdorsalcomfort saying: „Was good, does not cry, Ihad already toldyou, Eric Williamsisplayboy, youoriginally......”
本来还以为发生了什么大事情的瑞切尔听到卡洛琳这句话,心里松了一口气,不过,她也知道,对于这个情窦初开的小妮子来说,这绝对是一次很大的打击,因此瑞切尔还是紧紧抱住女孩,拍着她的后背安慰道:“好了,不哭了,我早就告诉过你啊,艾瑞克威廉姆斯可是个花花公子,你本来……”„Hum, heis not,”girlis sobbing the rebuttal.
“呜呜,他不是,”女孩抽泣着反驳。Rachelis somewhat helpless, girl who actuallyhasto follow the bosom: „Good, heis not.”瑞切尔有些无奈,却只好顺着怀里的丫头:“好,他不是。”„Hum, heis a bastard,”girlalsochirpsaidquickly.
“呜呜,他是个坏蛋,”女孩很快又嘤嘤地说道。„Un, heis a bastard,”Rachelcoordinatedto say.
“嗯,他是个坏蛋,”瑞切尔配合着说。Carolynbyin the Rachelbosomcriedsome little time, finallyto stopsobbing, saidin a soft voice: „Rachel, IthoughtMama.”卡洛琳靠在瑞切尔怀里哭了好一会儿,才终于止住了抽泣,轻声道:“瑞切尔,我想妈妈了。”Rachelhelps the girlwiping the faceegg, hangsherbackpackin the shoulder, holds on the Carolynsmall handoutwardto walk: „Walks, Ideliveryouto go home.”瑞切尔帮女孩擦了擦脸蛋,将她的背包挂在肩头,拉住卡洛琳的小手朝外走去:“走吧,我送你回家。”CarolynfollowsamenableinRachelbehind, left the terminaltothem, mutteredsuddenly: „Hehas heldmyhand.”卡洛琳顺从地跟在瑞切尔身后,一直到两人出了机场大厅,又突然喃喃道:“他拉过我的手了。”Rachelpulls out the key, opens the vehicle door of oneselfthathuge dischargeJaguarking, has forced in the copilot the girl, said: „Iknow that today's«Daily Mail»published the picture.”瑞切尔掏出钥匙,打开自己那部大排量捷豹君王的车门,将女孩塞进了副驾驶,才说道:“我知道啊,今天的《每日邮报》是登了照片。”Carolynsomewhatanxiouslyis looking atRachel: „That, how did theysay?”卡洛琳有些紧张地望着瑞切尔:“那,他们怎么说?”„Managesthemto makeanything, «Daily Mail»isonegossiptabloid newspaper that likestalking nonsense.”
“管他们做什么,《每日邮报》就是一份喜欢胡说八道的八卦小报。”Rachelwas saying, starts the vehicleto turn aroundto turn the highway, Carolynsaw that herroutinewantsto step on the appearance of acceleratorfiercely, cannot attend toclosely examining, ties the safety belthastily, said: „Rachel, opensslowpoint, thiswas too dangerous.”瑞切尔说着,发动车子掉头拐上高速公路,卡洛琳看到她习惯性想要猛踩油门的模样,也顾不得追问,连忙系上安全带,道:“瑞切尔,开慢一点好吗,这样太危险了。”„Good, the smalltreasure, anythinglistenstodayyour,”Rachelhas reduced the vehicle speed, shehas visitedseveraltimesto the manor of Carolyn, thereforedoes not need the girlto show the way, after leaving the airportrange, alonghigh-speedexpungesinnorthwest.
“好吧,小宝贝,今天什么都听你的,”瑞切尔压低了车速,她到卡洛琳家的庄园拜访过几次,因此并不需要女孩指路,离开机场范围之后,就沿着高速朝西北方向开去。
After the vehicle speedis steady, Rachelprobesto saycarefully: „Felt a point. Cantellmein the final analysiswhat's the matter?”
车速平稳之后,瑞切尔小心地试探道:“感觉好一点了吗。要不要跟我说说到底怎么回事?”Silenta while, Carolynin a soft voicesaid: „Hesaidyesterdaysuddenlyweare inappropriate.”
沉默了一会儿,卡洛琳才轻声说道:“他昨天突然说我们不合适。”Rachelsees the girlto losesucha few words, againhas not opened the mouth, cannot bearsighat heart. Has not askedanythingagain. Sheknows that Carolynis preserving very deepfavorable impressiontoEricas before, at this timedefinitelyhas concealed something forhim, but, Rachelalsoknowsthisgirl, although the dispositionis somewhat delicate, but sometimes actuallylikesboring tip of cows horn. Recognizesaccuratemattereightcows unable to pull back.瑞切尔见女孩丢出这样一句话,就没有再开口,心里忍不住叹了口气。没有再问什么。她知道卡洛琳对艾瑞克依旧保存着很深的好感,此时肯定替他隐瞒了一些事情,不过,瑞切尔也知道这妮子虽然性格有些柔弱,但有时候却喜欢钻牛角尖。认准的事情八头牛都拉不回来。
The Jaguarkingspassed by the Windsortown, proceeded more than tenkilometers, went tosituated outside a River ThamesbranchnearbyWillout of itmanor.
捷豹君王路过温莎镇,又往前走了十多公里,就来到了位于泰晤士河一条支流旁边的威尔逊庄园外。
The gate guard in manornoticed that thiscar(riage)stopsoutside the front door, goes forwardto planto inquireseveral, sees the glassto shake down, reveals the young ladyobviouslysomewhatthin and palesmallface: „Mark, isI.”
庄园的门卫看到这辆车停在大门外,上前打算询问几句,就看到车窗摇下,露出自家小姐明显有些憔悴的小脸:“马克,是我。”„Young lady, youcame backfinally, the madamealsomentionedyouin the morning, mythisinformed the madame. Oh, Ihelpyouopen the doorfirst,” the namedMarkmiddle-aged persongreetswithCarolynrespectfully, is thrown into confusionpulls open the bigiron gate of manor, entersinBaoantingto pick up the phone.
“小姐,你终于回来了,夫人早上还提起你,我这就通知夫人。哦,我先帮你们开门,”名叫马克的中年人恭敬地与卡洛琳打着招呼,又手忙脚乱地将庄园的大铁门拉开,才走进保安亭里拿起电话。Althoughis notfirsttimevisitshere, butdrivesto abdicate the manorlongroadacrossWill, looks atfrontdozensacreslarge-scalemanors, Rachelcannot bearsomefeelingsandenvyingas before.

The House of Earl WilsonclanisUnited Kingdomunusualas beforemaintained one of the prosperousaristocratsto the present.
虽然不是第一次拜访这里,不过开车穿过威尔逊庄园长长的甬道,看着面前几十英亩的大型庄园,瑞切尔依旧忍不住有些感慨和羡慕。英国的贵族阶层早就已经没落下去,传统的贵族庄园和城堡维护费用极其高昂,又因为英国高达75%的遗产税。使得大部分经济实力薄弱的贵族都难以维持祖业,不得不将大量的庄园城堡捐赠出去,或者干脆荒废掉。威尔逊伯爵家族是英国少有的一些到了现在依旧保持兴盛的贵族之一。
The vehiclestopsin the roadside, Rachelhas not gotten out. Saw that a makingsgracefulwomanledseveralmaidsto go out of the castle, the form that saw mother, Carolynalsohurriedlyjumped out of the car(riage), rantoward the woman.
车子在路边停下,瑞切尔还没有下车。就看到一位气质雍容的妇人带着几个女佣走出了城堡,看到母亲的身影,卡洛琳也急急忙忙地跳下车,朝妇人跑了过去。Rachelgot out, after opening , the vehicle doorjustcarried the Carolynbag, the maidwelcomedto meet the backpack.瑞切尔下了车,打开后车门刚刚拎出卡洛琳的行李包,就有一个女佣迎过来将背包接了过去。Madam Wilsonalsoled the daughterto walkat this time. Royal CourtRachelputs out a hand saying: „MissWeisz, looks afterCarolynthank youthese days.”威尔逊夫人此时也带着女儿走了过来。朝瑞切尔伸手道:“薇姿小姐,谢谢你这段时间照顾卡洛琳。”„Is impolite, Madam Wilson, Carolynismygood friend, thisisIshoulddo,” the Rachelpolitenessreplied, Britishalmostdeeplywas carvedregarding the awe of aristocratin the bone, Rachelcanbe togetherwithCarolyn very well, the sense of distance that becausemainlygirl'spuredispositioncoveredherto have trained the aristocratmanner of bringssince childhood, but, facingMadam Wilson, Rachelalwaysfeltsomewhatconstrained, plannedto say goodbyeto leaveimpatiently: „Madame, sinceCarolynarrivedhomesafely, Ithink that Ishouldreturn toLondon, Iin the afternoonalso some matters.”
“不客气,威尔逊夫人,卡洛琳是我的好朋友,这是我应该做的,”瑞切尔礼貌地答道,英国人对于贵族的敬畏几乎被深深刻在了骨子里,瑞切尔能够与卡洛琳很好地相处,主要还是因为女孩单纯的性格掩盖了她从小培养出的贵族举止所带来的距离感,不过,面对威尔逊夫人,瑞切尔总感觉有些拘束,迫不及待地就打算告辞离开:“夫人,既然卡洛琳已经平安到家,我想我应该回伦敦了,我下午还有一些事情。”„If not the importantmatter, remainsto have the lunch,”Madam Wilsonis having the temperatesmiling faceas before, hand signal that but alsohas madeinvitationgently, Carolyndirectlygoes forwardto hold onRachel: „Remains, Rachel, wealsothrough the telephone, Iknow that at night the day before yesterdayyouaffirmin the afternoonnothing.”
“如果不是什么要紧的事情,还是留下来吃午餐吧,”威尔逊夫人依旧带着温和的笑容,还轻轻做了个请的手势,卡洛琳则是直接上前拉住瑞切尔:“留下来吧,瑞切尔,前天晚上我们还通过电话,我知道你下午肯定没什么事情的,。”Rachelwas puncturedat the scene, a cheeksheat, wantsto put out a handto pinchslightlyreallyon the cheek of thissillygirl. LooksMadam Wilson that the smiling facehas not been changingslightly, Rachel can only the slight bow: „Thatdisturbed.”瑞切尔被当场戳破,脸颊微微一热,真想伸手在这傻妮子的脸蛋上捏一把。望着笑容丝毫没有变化的威尔逊夫人,瑞切尔只能微微点头:“那就打扰了。”HearsRachelto comply, Carolynsheis walkingtoward the castleonpullingimpatiently, followsto sayindaughterMadam Wilsonat this time: „Carolyn, waits forwhereaboutsyour fatherto give regardsfirst, heis in the study room.”
听到瑞切尔答应,卡洛琳迫不及待地就拉着她朝城堡走去,跟在女儿身边的威尔逊夫人此时才说道:“卡洛琳,等下先去向你父亲问好,他在书房里。”„Iknew, Mama.”
“我知道了,妈妈。”„, MatthewandRobertwill also come backto eat mealat noon, the kid can also comeOh.”
“还有,马修和罗伯特中午也会回来吃饭,小家伙也会过来哦。”Carolynaskedpleasantly surprised: „ThatCharles?”卡洛琳惊喜地问道:“那查尔斯呢?”„Heoneweek ago went toNew York,”Madam Wilsonfavoredto drownis looking at the daughter: „Yourthisyounger sisteris not competent, elder brother'swhereaboutsdoes not know.”
“他一个星期前就去纽约了,”威尔逊夫人宠溺地望着女儿:“你这个妹妹太不称职了,连自己哥哥的行踪都不知道。”Carolynhas spatundertonguepretty, quicklyreceivedundergazing at fixedly of Madam Wilson.卡洛琳娇俏地吐了下舌头,在威尔逊夫人的瞪视下又很快收了回去。Followsactuallyonlyto feelcreepy feelingintheirRachel, because the Carolynsmallwordsdiscussed the attribute, sheknewabout the House of Earl Wilsonsituationvery muchthatcurrentcountJames Wilsonhadthreesondaughters, threesonsjustjust mother and daughtermentioned that threepersonal names, Carolynwas the familyyoungestchild, althoughcountessEdith Wilsonlooked like the 40-year-oldappearance, butwas onlybecausemaintained very goodreason, the physical agemustbe greatly many, hereldest sonMatthewandsecond sonRobertalreadymarriagegiving birth, only thencompared withCarolyngreatlyfour -year-old Charlesunmarried, butit is saidalsobecame engaged.
跟在她们身边的瑞切尔却只感觉头皮发麻,因为卡洛琳的小话唠属性,她对威尔逊伯爵家的情况很了解,现任伯爵詹姆斯威尔逊有三个儿子一个女儿,三个儿子刚好就是刚刚母女两人提到那三个人名,卡洛琳是家族最小的孩子,伯爵夫人伊迪丝威尔逊虽然看起来才40多岁的模样,但只是因为保养很好的原因,实际年龄要大不少,她的大儿子马修和二儿子罗伯特都已经结婚生子,只有比卡洛琳大四岁的查尔斯还是单身,不过据说也已经订婚了。Listens tomother and daughter'sdialog, the person of thisrespected familyalmostwantedall assembledat noon, thought ofhere, Rachelat heartwas not comfortablestrengthensfiercely, but the factshowedthather not wonderfulfeelingdid not have a mistake.
听母女两人的对话,这一大家族的人中午差不多都要聚齐了,想到这里,瑞切尔心里的不自在就加强烈,而事实证明,她心里的不妙感丝毫没有出差错。Along withnoonarrival, the House of Earl Wilsoncastlepersonare getting more and more, the twostatureinnertubes of host family the wife and children, several other waves of otherguests, makingRachelhave an intensefleeingfeeling, was goodbecause ofsympathizing the countessas iffeels the Rachelmood, the lunchhad just finished, in a low voicetolddaughterseveral, CarolynthenbroughtRachelto return to ownroom.( To be continued.)
随着中午的到来,威尔逊伯爵家的城堡人越来越多,主人家的两个儿子带着妻儿,还有另外几波其他客人,让瑞切尔产生一种强烈的逃离感,好在体贴地伯爵夫人似乎感受到了瑞切尔的情绪,午餐刚刚结束,就低声吩咐了女儿几句,卡洛琳这才带着瑞切尔回到自己的房间里。(未完待续。)
