Michael volunteered the information before I had a chance to ask.

【volunteer】我还没来得及问，迈克尔就主动提供了信息。

Catherine made no answer to this, and Mrs. Penniman almost lost patience again; owing to which she at last volunteered the information that Morris looked very handsome, but terribly haggard.

凯瑟琳没有回答这个问题，彭尼曼夫人几乎又失去了耐心。由于这个缘故，她终于自愿说出莫里斯看起来很英俊，但非常憔悴。
