“幸好不是每个人都有同样的想法。” 海伦说，“否则东方会更加拥挤。”
“It’s a good thing everyone doesn’t feel the same way,” Helene said, “or the Orient would be even more overcrowded.”
“我在那里的时候非常想家。” 伊迪莎?文宁出人意料地说，一口气喝光了苏格兰威士忌。毫无征兆地，眼泪开始从她脸上流下来，在她苍白的粉脸上留下一道道泪痕。每个人都尽量装作什么异常的事情都没发生，不一会儿，她用卢埃拉?怀特递给她的一块大手帕擦干了脸。
“I was terribly homesick there,” Editha Venning said unexpectedly, downing the Scotch. Without any warning tears began to stream down her face, leaving great streaks in her pale powder. Everyone tried to look as if nothing unusual were going on, and in a moment she dried her face on a huge handkerchief handed to her by Louella White.
“你呢，卢埃拉？” 文宁试图轻松地说，“你觉得芝加哥的气候怎么样？”
“How about you, Louella?” Venning said, with an attempt at lightness.
“我不介意。” 这个高大的女人说。马龙盯着她。她变得相当健谈了。他注意到她又拿出了她的编织活，有条不紊、有节奏地织着那件难看的灰色衣服。不知为什么，这让他微微感到有些恐惧。
“I don’t mind it,” the large woman said. Malone stared at her. She was being downright talkative. He noticed that she had taken out her knitting again, methodically and rhythmically working on the ugly gray garment. For some reason it gave him a slight touch of the horrors.
莫娜觉得是时候把话题从天气上转移开了。“看到你和杰克又在一起了，我真高兴。” 她对海伦说。
Mona decided it was time to get the conversation off the weather. “I’m so glad to see you and Jake together again,” she said to Helene.
“哦，但是我们没有在一起。” 海伦欢快地说，“仅仅因为我们在同一个房间里而不会互相攻击并不意味着什么，你知道的。”
“Oh, but we aren’t,” Helene said brightly. “Just because we can be in the same room without tearing at each other’s throats doesn’t mean a thing, you know.”
“但是海伦……” 杰克刚开口。他感觉到海伦的鞋跟踩在他的脚背上，便不再说话了。
“But Helene—” Jake began. He felt Helene’s heel on his instep and was silent.
“除非我们的律师在场，否则我们从不碰面。” 海伦补充道。
“We never meet unless our lawyer’s present,” Helene added.
杰克感觉有人在他的椅子后面爬来爬去。原来是彭德利?泰德韦尔。
Jake felt someone crawling around back of his chair It turned out to be Pendley Tidewell.
