Don’t make a fuss about such a small thing because that is the last thing I expected.

4.       巴罗达太太不仅是位正派体面的女子，也是位非常明智的女子。

Besides being an upright and respectable woman Mrs. Baroda was also a very sensible one.

5.       她的思绪从未这么乱过，丝毫理不出头绪。

She had never known her thoughts to be so confused, unable to gather anything from them.

6.       从古韦内尔的谈话中，巴罗达太太了解到他有时的沉默寡言并非天性，而是情绪使然。

From Gouvernail’s talk, Mrs. Baroda came to know that his periods of silence were not his basic nature, but the result of moods.

5.       那晚，巴罗达太太很想把自己的一时荒唐告诉丈夫—也是她的朋友，但还是忍住了。

6.       他照例说了些诸如这个季节的夜风对身体不好之类的话。后来，望着茫茫夜色，他开始谈了起来。

7.       “噢，”她笑着，在他唇上印了长长的温柔的一吻，“我一切都已经克服了！你会看到的，这次我会对他很好。”

Unit2

3.       他感觉到了一种冲动，要将这个技巧运用得完美无缺。

4.       这种对具体事物的发挥转化，以及他一次又一次做出这种转化的技巧，正是卓别林伟大喜剧的奥秘。

This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, are surely the secrets of Chaplin’s great comedy.

It was a relief to know that he finally finished the book before his death, which was regarded as a fitting memorial to his life as a writer.

 

1.       但只有查理•卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色“流浪者”，这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。

2.       尽管如此，卓别林的喜剧乞丐形象并不显得那么像英国人，甚至也没有劳动阶级的特色。

3.       但假如他在早期那些短小喜剧电影中能操一口受过教育的人的口音，则他是否会闻名世界就值得怀疑了，而英国人也肯定会觉得这很“古怪”。

4.       随着事业的发展，他感到了一种冲动要去发掘并扩展自己身上所显露的天才。

5.       没有生命的物体特别有助于卓别林发挥自己艺术家的天赋。

6.       然而即使是这种以沉重代价换来的自知之明也在他的喜剧创作中得到了表现。

7.       由于沃娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭，她对卓别林生活中将面临的挑战也做好了充分准备，因为当时有毫无根据的流言说他俩是马克思主义的同情者。后来在他们自己的有那么多天才孩子的大家庭中，卓别林有时会引发争吵，而她则成了安宁的中心。

8.       但是人们不禁会感到，卓别林一定会把这一奇怪的事情看作是对他的十分恰当的纪念。他以这种方式给这个自己曾带来那么多笑声的世界留下了最后的笑声。
