" You lie, " said the waif. " You must lie gooder" .

" 你撒谎，" 流浪儿道，" 你必须撒得更好。"

" On any animal with warm blood" . The waif slapped her.

" 对暖血动物都有效。" 流浪儿扇了她一巴掌。

The waif nodded. Arya nodded back, and in her best Braavosi said, " How many years have you" ?

流浪儿点点头。艾莉亚也点头回应，并用自己最流利的布拉佛斯语问，" 你几岁了？"

" And really you didn't marry an Arab waif after all, " said Meriem.

“事实上，你终究没有拉伯流浪儿， ” 梅瑞姆说。

It was kind of the epitome of the waif.

这是流浪儿的缩影。

Poisons. She understood then. Every evening after prayer the waif emptied a stone flagon into the waters of the black pool.

毒药。她明白了。每晚祈祷之后，流浪儿都要将一个石壶倒空至黑水池。

They were rather forlorn little waifs, outcasts in a strange country and forsaken by their only friend and guardian, Cap'n Bill.

是相当孤独的小流浪者，在一个陌生的国家被抛弃，被唯一的朋友和监护比尔船长抛弃。

But before the waif could answer, the kindly man stepped into the chamber, smiling. " You have returned to us" .

流浪儿不及回答，慈祥的微笑着走进屋子：" 你回到我这儿来了。"

The Common Tongue came to the waif more quickly. One day at supper she turned to Arya, and asked, " Who are you" ?

流浪儿学通用语却比较快。某天晚餐时，她忽然扭头问艾莉亚，" 你是谁？"

She only wanted to know that Jack loved the little Arab waif.

她只想知道杰克喜欢这个拉伯小流浪儿。

" This is Meriem, my dear, " he said, and he told the story of the jungle waif in so far as he knew it.

“我是梅瑞姆，亲爱的，”说，并就所知讲述了丛林流浪儿的故事。

" Until darkness is as sweet to you as light, " the waif would say, " or until you ask us for your eyes. Ask and you shall see" .

" 直到你觉得黑暗和光明一样甜美。" 流浪儿总是回答，" 或者请求我，要回你的双眼。只需请求，你就能重见光明。"

Anthony thought how moral was this little waif at heart—how completely moral she would still be after the inevitable wave came that would wash her off the sands of respectability.

安东尼心想， 这个小流浪儿的内心是多么道德——在不可避免的浪潮到来之后， 她仍然是多么道德， 这将把她从体面的沙子上冲走。

" To other eyes, your nose and jaw are broken, " said the waif. " One side of your face is caved in where your cheekbone shattered, and half your teeth are missing" .

" 在旁眼，你的鼻子和下巴都破了，" 流浪儿说，" 一边脸因颧骨粉碎而凹陷下去，你还少了一半牙齿。"

He felt glad that it would be Marilla and not he who would have to tell this waif of the world that the home she longed for was not to be hers after all.

很高兴是玛丽拉而不是必须告诉这个世界上的流浪者，她渴望的家终究不是她的。

She had been watching the waif's face the whole time she told her story, but the other girl had shown her no signs. " The Many-Faced God took two-thirds of your father's wealth, not all" .

流浪儿讲自己的故事时，艾莉亚一直观察着她的脸，但对方没有透露任何信息。" 千面之神拿走了你父亲三分之二的财产，并非全部。"

The priest studied the coin, though he made no move to touch it. The waif with the big eyes was looking at it too. Finally, the cowled man said, " Tell me your name, child" .

牧师仔细看了看，但没去摸。那大眼睛流浪儿也看着它。最后，戴兜帽的牧师说：" 你叫什么，孩子？"

" You lie" . He turned to the waif. " My throat is dry. Do me a kindness and bring a cup of wine for me and warm milk for our friend Arya, who has returned to us so unexpectedly" .

" 你撒谎。" 转向流浪儿，" 我嗓子很干。请帮我拿一杯红酒，再我的朋友艾莉亚拿一杯热牛奶，她回来了让我很意外。"
