2014英语翻译练习

“She’s a child,” she told my father.“She’s not any older than seventeen, not poibly.She wears glaes.She’s very thin.She’s not an idiot, that’s not why they were getting rid of her, but she is mentally deranged, maybe, or on the borderline.”

My mother said, “Don’t go over there.”

Neverthele I went.I did not take Owen because he would tell.I thought I would knock on the door and ask, in a very polite way, if it was all right for me to read the newspapers on the porch.But before I got to the steps the door opened and Madeleine came out with a stove-lid lifter in her hand.She might have been lifting a stove-lid when she heard me, she might not have picked it up on purpose, but I could not see it as anything but a weapon.“What are you come spyin’ around here for? What are you come spyin’ around my house for? You better get out of here.” She started down the steps.Her short hair was not combed, she was wearing a ragged print dre on her flat young body.Her violence seemed calculated, theatrical;you wanted to stay to watch it, as if it were a show, and yet there was no doubt, either, when she raised the stove-lifter over her head, that she would crack it down on my skull if she felt like it—that is, if she felt the scene demanded it.I wished I could take this scene back to tell at home.Stories of Madeleine were being paes up and down the road.Something had annoyed her in the store and she had thrown a box of Kotex at Charlie Buckle.(Lucky she wasn’t holding a can of corn syrup!)Uncle Benny lived under a hailstorm of abuse, you could hear it from the road.“Got yourself a Tartar there, didn’t you, Benny?” people would say, and he would chuckle and nod, abashed, as if receiving congratulations.After a while he started telling stories himself.She had thrown the kettle through the window because there wasn’t any water in it.She had taken the sciors and cut up his green suit, which he had only worn once, at his wedding;he didn’t not know what she had against it.She had said she would set fire to the house, because he had brought her the wrong brand of cigarettes.Early in the spring, before the snow was all gone, he came one day to say that Madeleine had left.
