Ⅰ was glad of it：l never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons：dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
这倒正合我心意。我向来不喜欢远距离散步，尤其在冷飕飕的下午。试想，阴冷的薄暮时分回到家里，手脚都冻僵了，还要受到保姆贝茜的数落，又自觉体格不如伊丽莎、约翰和乔治娜，心里既难过又惭愧，那情形委实可怕。
