冷酷的背叛

字幕原文

The next morning, the coach stood in the yard, 第二天一早，马车停在院子里，

harnessed at last, gleaming in the winter sunshine. 马终于套好了，在冬日的阳光下闪闪发亮。

The travelers hurried out, cheerful and eager to leave. 旅客们急匆匆地走出来，有说有笑，巴不得马上出发。

Then Boule de Suif appeared, looking a little ashamed. 接着羊脂球露面了，神情看着有些难为情。

She walked shyly toward her companions, and every one of them, 她怯生生地朝同伴们走过去，可每一个人，

as if on a signal, turned away. 都像接到了暗号似的，齐刷刷转过身去。

The Count took his wife's arm and led her aside, 伯爵挽起妻子的胳膊，把她带到一边，

as if to protect her from something unclean. 仿佛是要护着她，免得沾上什么不干净的东西。

When Boule de Suif said, "Good morning, madame," 羊脂球对其中一位太太说了声：“早上好，夫人”，

to one of the ladies, she received only a small, haughty nod. 换来的却只是对方高傲而轻微的一点头。

Everyone kept their distance, 大家都跟她拉开距离，

as though she carried some disease in her skirts. 就好像她的裙子里藏着什么瘟疫似的。

It's astonishing how quickly the people you've saved can decide you're beneath them. 真让人想不到，那些刚被你救过的人，一转眼就能觉得你低他们一等。

She climbed into the coach last, silently, and took her old seat. 她最后一个默默上了马车，坐回原来的位子。

No one looked at her. 谁也没看她一眼。

And no one said a word. 也没一个人吭一声。
