Audiobook Dictation: “Hilda was pale by this time…”

Hilda was pale by this time, and her eyes were wide with fright.

這時希爾達已臉色蒼白，雙眼因驚恐而睜得大大的。

She looked about desperately from Bartley to the door, then to the windows, and back again to Bartley.

她絕望地四下張望，從巴特利望向門口，又望向窗戶，再望回巴特利。

She rose uncertainly, touched his hair with her hand, then sank back upon her stool.

她遲疑地站起身，伸手摸了摸他的頭髮，又跌坐回凳子上。

"I'll do anything you wish me to, Bartley," she said tremulously.

「你要我做什麼我都願意，巴特利。」她聲音發顫地說。

"I can't stand seeing you miserable."

「我受不了看你這麼痛苦。」

He rose and pushed the chair behind him and began to walk miserably about the room, seeming to find it too small for him.

他站起來，把椅子往後一推，開始在房間裡痛苦地踱來踱去，彷彿嫌這屋子太小容不下他。

He pulled up a window as if the air were heavy.

他推開一扇窗，彷彿屋裡的空氣太悶。

"It . . . it hasn't always made you miserable, has it?" Her eyelids fell and her lips quivered.

「這……這並不是一直都讓你痛苦的，對吧？」她垂下眼簾，嘴唇顫抖著。
