黄源深English Book7 第3课 Lesson Three Rope的部分译文

她看起来已经像个土生土长的乡下女人了。他的灰色法兰绒衬衫紧紧地粘在身上，沉重的皮鞋上尽是尘土。她完全有把握地告诉他，他看上去好像戏剧中的乡巴佬角色。

Had he brought the coffee? She had been waiting all day long for coffee. They had forgot it when they ordered at the store the first day.

他带咖啡来了吗？她等咖啡已经等了整整一天了。他们第一天向食品铺订货的那会儿，把咖啡忘了。

Gosh, no, he hadn't. Lord, now he'd have to go back. Yes, he would if it killed him. He thought, though, he had everything else. She reminded him it was only because he didn't drink coffee himself. If he did he would remember it quick enough. Suppose they ran out of cigarettes? Then she saw the rope.
