So matters stood when tess opened the door, and paused upon the mat within it surveying the scene 苔絲推開門,站在墊子上觀察到的情景是這樣的。

Besides, after some pause upon this affair, i consider d, that if this land was the spanish coast, i should certainly, one time or other, see some vessel pass or re-pass one way or other; but if not, then it was the savage coast between the spanish country and brasils, which are indeed the worst of savages; for they are cannibals, or men-eaters, and fail not to murther and devour all the humane bodies that fall into their hands 另外,我經過了一番思考,得出了如下的結論:如果這片陸地確實是屬于西班牙領地的海岸,那遲早會有船只經過如果沒有船只在那邊的海岸來往,那兒肯定是位于西班牙領地和巴西之間的蠻荒海岸,上面住著最野蠻的土人。這些土人都是吃人的野人。任何人落入他們的手里,都會給他們吃掉。
