" I know you are offended with me, " he said penitently, " for fooling that painted-up wax doll; but what can a fellow do" ?

“我知道你生我的气了，”他忏悔地说，“因为我愚弄了那个彩绘的蜡娃娃；但是一个人能做什么”？

He thought only of her delicate skin and golden hair, and wondered whether she was a real live person, or one of the wax dolls he had seen in the shops.

他只想到她娇嫩的皮肤和金色的头发，不知道她是真人，还是他在商店里见过的蜡娃娃。
