焦躁与埋怨

字幕原文

Nor the day after that. 之后的那天也是如此。

Each morning, the officer sent the same question: 每天早晨，军官都会派人来问同一个问题：

had the lady changed her mind? 那位女士改主意了吗？

And each time, Boule de Suif sent back the same answer: never. 而每一次，羊脂球给出的回答都一样：绝不。

Slowly, the mood at the inn began to change. 渐渐地，旅店里的气氛开始变了。

The travelers grew bored, then restless, then angry. 旅客们先是觉得无聊，接着焦躁不安，最后怒火中烧。

And little by little, 慢慢地，

their anger turned away from the Prussian, and toward her. 他们的怒火不再对着那个普鲁士军官，而是转到了她身上。

After all, the ladies murmured, why was she making such a fuss? 几位太太私下嘀咕，说到底，她到底在拿乔什么呢？

It wasn't as if this were anything new for a woman like her. 对她这种女人来说，这又不是什么破天荒的头一遭。

Loiseau said openly that someone should tie her up and hand her over. 卢瓦索甚至公开嚷嚷，说就该找人把她绑起来交出去。

Gratitude has a very short memory once it becomes inconvenient. 感恩这回事，一旦成了碍事的东西，往往很快就会被抛到九霄云外。

Boule de Suif felt the chill, but didn't understand it. 羊脂球感受到了这股冷意，却不明白究竟是为什么。

And meanwhile, behind her back, 而与此同时，在她背后，

the respectable passengers had begun to make a plan. 那些体面的乘客们已经开始暗中盘算起计划来了。
