“喂,苔丝表妹,”他说,“我从来没见过像你这么漂亮的姑娘!我一直在墙这边观察你。瞧,我可以教你一两下。”
"Oh no you won't!"cried Tess, going back towards the door.
“哦,不,你不能这样。”苔丝叫道,转身朝房门走去。
"Don't worry,I won't touch you.Just look…"and he showed her how to whistle.
“别担心,我不会碰你的。看着……”
From that moment Tess found she could whistle tunes to the birds just as Mrs d"Urberville wanted.
他开始给她示范如何吹口哨。从那以后,苔丝发现自己可以按照德伯夫人的心意对着那些鸡儿吹调子了。
