在一个乡村集市上,我决定去拜访一位名叫白灵斯基夫人的占卜师。
At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky.
我走进她的帐篷,她让我坐下。
I went into her tent and she told me to sit down.
我付给她一些钱之后,她凝视着水晶球说道:"你有一位亲戚正准备来看你。
After I had given her some money, she looked into a crystal ball and said: 'A relation of yours is coming to see you.
她今天晚上就会到了,打算待几天。
She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days.
你一离开这顶帐篷,就会得到一个大惊喜。
The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise.
一个你熟识的女人会向你冲来。
A woman you know well will rush towards you.
她会和你说话,然后带你离开这里。就这些了。'
She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.'
我一走出去,就把白灵斯基夫人的话忘得一干二净,因为我妻子朝我匆匆走来。
As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me.
"你藏哪儿去了?"她不耐烦地问道。
'Where have you been hiding?' she asked impatiently.
"你姐姐不到一小时就到了,我们必须到车站去接她。我们已经迟了。"
'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.'
她走开时,我跟着她离开了集市。
As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.
