Lesson 3 Rope《绳》by Katherine Anne Porter

Rope

by Katherine Anne Porter

On the third day after they moved to the country he came walking back from the village carrying a basket of groceries and a twenty-four-yard coil of rope. She came out to meet him, wiping her hands on her green smock. Her hair was tumbled, her nose was scarlet with sunburn he told her that already she looked like a born country woman. His gray flannel shirt stuck to him, his heavy shoes were dusty. She assured him he looked like a rural character in a play.

她们搬到农村的第三天，他从村上走回顾，提着一篮吃的，再有一卷二十四码长的绳索。她一面在身上的绿罩衣上擦手，一面走出来接他。她的头发乱蓬蓬，鼻子给太阳晒得通红；他跟她说，她看上去仍旧像个土熟土长的农村女子了。他的灰色法兰绒衬衫紧紧地粘在身上，深沉的革履上满是尘埃。她实足有控制地报告他，他看上去犹如戏剧中的乡巴佬脚色。

Had he brought the coffee? She had been waiting all day long for coffee. They had forgot it when they ordered at the store the first day.

他带咖啡茶来了吗？她等咖啡茶仍旧等了整整一天了。她们第一天向食物铺订货的那会儿，把咖啡茶忘了。
