狄更斯双语小说:《董贝父子》第27章Part 10

'By no means. Where would you wish it taken from?' she answered, turning to him with the same enforced attention as before.
Mr Dombey, with another bow, which cracked the starch in his cravat, would beg to leave that to the Artist.
'I would rather you chose for yourself,' said Edith.
'Suppose then,' said Mr Dombey, 'we say from here. It appears a good spot for the purpose, or - Carker, what do you think?'
There happened to be in the foreground, at some little distance, a grove of trees, not unlike that In which Mr Carker had made his chain of footsteps in the morning, and with a seat under one tree, greatly resembling, in the general character of its situation, the point where his chain had broken.

她的眼睛顺着他马鞭所指的方向看去，又迅速地抬起眼睛看看他的脸。这是她被介绍认识以后第二次交换的眼光，简直就和第一次眼光一模一样，只是它的表情更为明白罢了。
“您喜欢那里吗？”伊迪丝问董贝先生。
“它将会使我心醉神迷，”董贝先生对伊迪丝说。
