On her left were two matrons, with massive foreheads and bonnets to match, discussing Women's Rights and making tatting.

她左是两位家庭主妇，头戴跟她们的硕大前额相称的帽，一面讨论着权问题，一面干着编织活。

She went on with her tatting all the while.

她一直在继续她的纹身。

" Don't! Don't" ! cried Melanie, dropping her tatting and flinging herself onto the sofa and drawing Scarlett's head down onto her shoulder.

" 别这样！别这样！" 媚兰大，一面放下手里的梭织花，急忙坐到沙发上，把思嘉的头移过来靠在她的肩上。

Well, after all, old gentlemen were better than no gentlemen at all, thought Scarlett, measuring out the tatting and submitting demurely to being chucked under the chin.

好吧，有了两位老先生总比一位先生都没有要强，尽管思嘉在量花时不得不假装正经地让人家在下巴上捏了一下。
