第一章:红房间 Chapter 1: The Red Room 那是一个寒冷又下雨的日子。 It was a cold, rainy day. 我们不能出去玩。 We could not go outside. 我呆在客厅里。 I stayed in the living room. 我的表兄妹们坐在炉火旁。 My cousins sat by the fire. 里德姨妈躺在沙发上。 Aunt Reed lay on the sofa. 她让我不要靠近。 She told me not to come near. 她说我怪怪的,还不爱说话。 She said I was strange and quiet. 我感到伤心又孤单。 I felt sad and alone. 我拿了一本书走开了。 I took a book and walked away. 我坐在窗帘后面。 I sat behind the curtain. 在那里,我一个人读书。 There, I read alone. 书里的故事让我心情好一些。 The story made me feel better. 但我的表哥约翰发现了我。 But my cousin John found me. 他拉开窗帘,喊道:“滚出去!” He pulled the curtain and yelled, “Get out!” 他用书打我。 He hit me with a book. 我摔倒了,头撞到了。 I fell and hurt my head. 我站起来,对他大喊。 I stood up and shouted at him. 我很生气,也很勇敢。 I was angry and brave. 佣人们跑来把我拉走。 The servants came and pulled me away. 他们怪我,而不是约翰。 They blamed me, not John. 他们把我锁进了红房间。 They locked me in the red room. 那里又黑又可怕。 It was dark and scary. 我哭着请求放我出去。 I cried and asked to be let out. 但没有人理我。 But no one came. 我想起了我的父母。 I thought about my parents. 他们在我很小时就去世了。 They died when I was a baby. 现在没有人爱我。 Now I had no one to love me. 只有悲伤陪着我。 Only sadness was with me. 我在房间里晕了过去。 I fainted in the room. 当我醒来时,一位医生在那儿。 When I woke up, a doctor was there. 他很温和,也很友善。 He was kind and gentle. 他说我应该去上学。 He said I should go to school. |
