One of the ladies ran to him directly. She seized his arm. It was Miss Ingram.

"What awful event has taken place?" said she.
"出了什么可怕的事了？"她说。
Speak! Let us know the worst at once!
说呵！快让我们知道最坏的情况！
"But don't pull me down or strangle me," he replied, for the Misses Eshton were clinging about him now;
"可别把我拉倒或者勒死呀，"他回答，因为此刻两位埃希顿小姐紧紧抓住他不放。
And the two dowagers, in vast white wrappers, were bearing down on him like ships in full sail.
两位遗孀穿着宽大的白色晨衣，像鼓足了风帆的船，向他直冲过来。
"All's right! All 's right!" he cried.

Ladies, keep off, or I shall wax dangerous.
女士们，让开，不然我要凶相毕露了。

Now, then, I must see you all back into your rooms.
好吧，现在我得关照大家回自己房间里去。
For, till the house is settled, she cannot be looked after.

Gentlemen, have the goodness to set the ladies the example.
先生们，请你们给女士们做个榜样。
Miss Ingram, I am sure you will not fail in evincing superiority to idle terrors.

Amy and Louisa, return to your nests like a pair of doves, as you are.
艾米和路易莎，就像一对真正的鸽子那样回到自己的窝里去。
Mesdames (to the dowagers) , you will take cold to a dead certainty, if you stay in this chill gallery any longer.
夫人们（向着两位遗孀），要是你们在冷嗖嗖的走廊上再呆下去，那肯定要得感冒。
And so, by dint of alternate coaxing and commanding,
他就这样连哄带叫，
he contrived to get them all once more enclosed in their separate dormitories.
好不容易让所有的人再次进了各自的房间，关上了门。
I did not wait to be ordered back to mine, but retreated unnoticed, as unnoticed I had left it.
我没有等他命令我回到自己房间，便像来的时候一样悄悄地走了。
