at the slightest thing. 随便一点小事都能乐个不停。
We first met her at the headmaster's birthday party. 我们第一次见到她是在校长的生日聚会上。
Among all those stiff, gloomy teachers, 在那些死板沉闷的老师当中——
who went to parties only out of duty, 他们去聚会纯粹就是为了走个过场应付差事——
suddenly there was this goddess rising from the waves! 突然间,就冒出了这么一位像从浪花里走出来的女神!
She laughed, sang, and danced. 她又是笑,又是唱,又是跳。
And Belikov sat beside her, smiled sweetly, and said, 而别利科夫就坐在她身旁,甜滋滋地微笑着说:
'The Ukrainian language, with its softness, reminds one of ancient Greek.'" ‘乌克兰语真柔和,听着真让人联想起古希腊语。’”
