13. She took the bags from me and disappeared through the kitchen door. I looked around the room that I had never in my wildest fantasies imagined I would see. Browned photographs leered or threatened from the walls and the white, freshly done curtains pushed against themselves and against the wind. I wanted to gobble up the room entire and take it to Bailey, who would help me analyze and enjoy it.
    13)她从我手里把装食品的口袋拿走，进了厨房。我环顾着这间连做梦也没有想到自己会看得见的房间。墙上发黄的相片里的人或斜眼微笑或一付凶相，新整理好的白色窗帘在风中相互摩挲。我想把房间整个吞下带给贝利，他会帮我分析它、享受它。

    14. "Have a seat, Marguerite. Over there by the table." She carried a platter covered with a tea towel. Although she warned that she hadn't tried her hand at baking sweets for some time, I was certain that like everything else about her the cookies would be perfect.

Remembering my manners, I took nice little lady-like bites off the edges. She said she had made them expressly for me and that she had a few in the kitchen that I could take home to my brother.

    15)点心是扁扁的圆的薄脆饼，边上烤得徽焦‘中间是奶黄色。就着冷柠檬水，这简直就是孩子心中足可毕生享用的饮食了。想起了自己应该有礼貌，我象贵妇人似的小口小口地咬着边吃。她说她是专门给我做的，在厨房里还有几块我可以带回家去给哥哥吃。因此我把整个一块饼一下子都塞进嘴里，粗糙的饼渣擦破了嘴巴里面的皮。要是我可以不用咽下去，那就真会是梦想变成了现实啦。
