" That'll do. Go to the cook and learn your duties" .

" 行了，到那儿去学你的活儿。"

" Have you any dry clothes I may put on" ? I asked the cook.

" 你有干衣服给我换吗？" 我问。

Hanging over the cook's arm was a loose and crumpled array of evil-looking and sour-smelling garments.

的手臂上挂了一套皱巴巴的衣服，又臭又难。

" Yes, sir, " the cook eagerly interpolated, with appeasing and apologetic servility.

" 是，先生。" 急切地插话，带着道歉和劝解的谄。

The top floor provided living quarters for the kitchen staff.

【quarter】顶层是房的住处。

His last word, in striking contrast with the smoothness of his previous utterance, snapped like the lash of a whip. The cook quailed under it.

他那" 明白" 两字是像鞭子一样抽出来的，跟以前的圆滑截然不同。 给抽得蔫头耷脑。

Then I told him the whole circumstance, how my clothes had been left to dry in the galley, and how, later, I was nearly beaten by the cook when I mentioned the matter.

我告诉了他整个情况。 我如何把衣服晾在房里，而我提起被偷时那又如何几乎揍了我一顿。
