The bream were on the bed and the weather was exactly right.
鲷鱼在床上, 天。
Mama was a much better seamstress than I--But if the Lord sends forth a strangely agreeable slave to the sewing machine, surely it is pleasanter and more profitable to spend one's time on the lovely lake, dangling a bamboo pole for bream.
妈妈是一个比我得多女裁缝——但如果上帝派出一个出奇地讨人喜欢缝纫机奴隶,那么在美丽湖上消磨时光,悬垂竹竿钓鲷鱼,肯定会更愉快,也更有利可图。
