名著精读《飘》第二章 第9节  

Why he should have captivated Scarlett when his mind was a stranger to hers she did not know. The very mystery of him excited her curiosity like a door that had neither lock nor key. The things about him which she could not understand only made her love him more
and his odd
restrainedcourtship only served to increase her determination to have him for her own. That he would propose some day she had never doubted
for she was too young and too spoiled ever to have known defeat. And now
like a thunderclap
had e this horrible news. Ashley to marry Melanie! It couldn’t be true!
思嘉弄不明白，既然他的心对她的心是那样陌生，那么为什么他竟会迷住她呢？就是他的这个祕密像一扇既没有锁也没有钥匙的门引起了她的好奇心。他身上那些她所无法理解的东西只有使她更加爱他，他那种克制的求爱态度只能鼓励她下更大的决心去把他占为己有。她从未怀疑他有一天会向她求婚，因为她实太年轻太娇惯了，从来不懂得失败是怎么回事。现在，好比晴天霹雳，这个可怕的消息突然降临。这不可能是真的呀！艾希礼要娶媚兰了！

　
Why
only last week
when they were riding home at ilight from Fairhill
he had said: “Scarlett
I have something so important to tell you that I hardly know how to say it.”
为什么，就在上周一个傍晚他们骑马从费尔黑尔回家时，他还对她说过：“思嘉，我有件十分重要的事要告诉你，但是不知怎么说好。"
　
She had cast down her eyes demurely
her heart beating with wild pleasure
thinking the happy moment had e. Then he had said: “Not now! We’re nearly home and there isn’t time. Oh
Scarlett
what a coward I am!” And putting spurs to his horse
he had raced her up the hill to Tara.
她那时假装正经地低下头来，可高兴得心怦怦直跳，觉得那个愉快的时刻来了。接着他又说：“可现在不行啊！没有时间了。咱们快到家了，唔，思嘉，你看我多么胆怯呀！"他随即用靴刺在马肋上踢了几下，赶快送思嘉越过山冈回塔拉来了。
