美國語文第五冊 第60期：露西-福斯特（03）
"She has sunk into some mossy or miry place," said Michael, to a man near him, into whose face he could not look, a cruel, cruel death to one like her!
“露西或許陷進沼澤或泥濘的地方了，”邁克爾對身邊的一個男人說，他沒法直視那男人的臉，對她來說，那么殘忍的、無法想象的死亡！
The earth on which my child walked has closed over her, and we shall never see her more!
我的孩子，你究竟在哪里陷進去了？我們難道再也見不到你嗎？

who lay, apparently exhausted almost to dying, on the sward.
明顯看起來筋疲力盡似乎瀕死的模樣，大家紛紛圍著她。
He approached hesitatingly; and Michael saw that he carried Lucy's bonnet, clothes, and plaid.

"Murdered was the one word whispered or ejaculated all around;
“謀殺，這是謀殺！”周圍不約而同的竊竊私語或高聲叫嚷響成一片。
but Agnes heard it not; for, worn out by that long night of hope and despair,
但是，母親艾格尼絲聽不見了，整整一夜希望與絕望的反復折磨后，
she had fallen asleep, and was, perhaps, seeking her lost Lucy in her dreams.
她早已睡著了，或許正在夢里尋找她的可愛露西。
