不过实话实说，我不得不承认，这样事，就是放到凤凰城，也会引起语。

Well, you've heard all kinds of things.

大听说了很多语。

Why else would she be spreading vicious lies about me?

那她为什么总传我语？

1052--Not that I'm afraid of myself. But I dread other people's remarks.

" Not at all! I have never done such a thing before, and I shouldn't have done it now if words had not sometimes been dropped about you."

“根本没有！我以前从未做过这种事，要不是有时传来关于你语，我现在也不会去做。”

" It is not that girl of Blooms-End, who has been talked about more or less lately? If so, I know her; and I can guess what has happened."

“她莫非就是住在布卢姆斯恩德那个姑娘？人最近对她多多少少有些语。要真是她，那我认识；我还能猜到发生了什么事。”
