8、第 8 章 ...

打探 into all we did, and we to kowtow顺从 and eat dirt-pie脏饼？ to him. If that's Mr. Rickety Elliot's idea of a soldier and an Englishman, it isn't mine, and I wish I'd had a horse-whip."果然自尊心强的吓四人。在金钱上，Meredith需要钱，但绝对不肯用Foster的钱，偏偏Foster这个公子哥还不在乎钱，于是就开始一片痴心换来对方自尊心的强烈反弹了。
She was roaring with laughter. "You're babies, a pair of you, and you're the worst. Why couldn't you let the little silly down gently?对啊，大不了温和拒绝啊，可是心之所系啊，情绪不能控制是吧？额，吐槽Meredith，胆子太肥了。 There he was puffing and sniffing气哼哼地 under my window, and I thought he'd insulted侮辱 you. Why didn't you accept?"
"Accept?" he thundered.打雷，哈哈，真形象。喊声震天，哈哈，译得很像。
"It would have taken拿走 the nonsense out of him for ever. Why, he was only talking out of a book."
"More fool he."嗯，说出自己最介意的点了。
"Well, don't be angry with a fool. He means no harm. He muddles all day with poetry and old dead people, and then tries to bring it into life. It's too funny for words."
Gerald repeated that he could not stand unhealthiness.对的，我看到第一次这个unhealthiness的时候，就知道了，Meredith其实还是放心不下Foster。所以生气了。
"I don't call that exactly unhealthy."
"I do.又是这种噎四人的短句 And why he could give the money's worse."
"What do you mean?"
He became shy. "I hadn't meant to tell you. It's not quite for a lady." For, like most men who are rather animal, he was intellectually a prude.
"He says he can't ever marry, owing to his foot. It wouldn't be fair to posterity后代. His grandfather was crocked, his father too, and he's as bad.
He thinks that it's hereditary, and may get worse next generation. He's discussed it all over with other Undergrads.其他学生 A bright lot they must be.嘲讽他们影响自己爱人的智商是吧，哈哈哈，反话得更厉害呢。
He daren't risk having any children. Hence the hundred quid."
She stopped laughing. "Oh, little beast小顽固, if he said all that!"
其实我倒是觉得Ricky/F说的没错，生物学上的担忧也是很正常的。不过从这里可以看出，Meredith其实是不太把婚姻当回事的，只是看作是自己社会化的手段之一而已，但对于Foster的社会化和幸福，他是很看重的。而且他见不得Foster自己放弃社会化的可能性。唉，1907的Foster还是没办法看出这种关心背后潜藏的爱意啊。
But she had a thrill of joy when she thought of the weak boy in the clutches of the strong one.

She sat down by him again, and drew his hand into her own. "Now we are all right,
