《呼啸山庄》选段（附原文及答案）

节选自英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的长篇小说《呼啸山庄》，选段关于书中一个重要女性角色凯瑟琳的描写。

The original：

      Her position before was sheltered from the light; now, I had a distinct view of her whole figure and countenance. She was slender（苗条的）, and apparently scarcely past girlhood: an admirable form, and the most exquisite（精致的） little face that I have ever had the pleasure of beholding（看见）: small features, very fair; flaxen（亚麻色的） ringlets（垂下的长鬈发）, or rather golden, hanging loose on her delicate neck; and eyes—had they been agreeable in expression, they would have been irresistible（让人无法抗拒的）. Fortunately for my susceptible（敏感的） heart, the only sentiment（情绪） they evinced（表现） hovered（徘徊） between scorn（轻蔑） and a kind of desperation, singularly（非常地） unnatural to be detected there.

      The canisters（小罐） were almost out of her reach; I made a motion to aid her; she turned upon me as a miser（守财奴） might turn if any one attempted to assist him in counting his gold.

      “I don’t want your help,” she snapped（怒气冲冲地说）, “I can get them for myself.”
