Ralph looked forward to a fourth, a fifth, a tenth besieger; he had no conviction she would stop at a third.

拉尔夫期待着第四个、第五个、第十个围攻者； 他不相信她会停在三分之一处。

'Though I am afraid it rather resembles the melancholy ruse of throwing loaves over castle-walls at besiegers, and suggests desperation rather than plenty inside'.

“虽然我担心它更像是向围攻者扔面包过城堡墙壁的忧郁诡计，并且暗示绝望而不是内心丰富”。
