6 Learning to like school

　　Life at Lowood no longer seemed so hard，as springapproached．We enjoyed walking and playing in the surrounding countryside．But，with foglying constantly in the valley，it was not a healthy place for a school，and by Maymore than half the girls were seriously ill with typhus fever．As a resultof poor food and bad living conditions，many girls died．

　　While there was fear and death inside the school， the sunshone on the flowers outside，and on the flowing streams in the valleys．So I and thefew who had escaped illness enjoyed the beautiful summer weather，with nolessons or discipline at all．

Helen Burnscould not come walking with me，because she was ill，not with typhus but with tuberculosis．At first I hadthought she would recover，but when I learned her illness was serious，I decided tovisit her at night，for what might be the last time．I found her lying inbed，looking pale and weak．

6 开始喜欢学校

　　春天来临，洛伍德的生活似乎不再那么艰难了。我们喜欢到周围的乡村散步、游戏。但是山谷中常常迷雾不散，对学校来说不是个好地方。到了5月，有一半以上的女孩子得了猩红热。由于伙食差，生活条件恶劣，许多孩子都死了。

　　学校里充满了恐怖和死亡，而外面却是阳光照耀着的花朵和山谷间流淌的小溪。因此我和另外几个逃过病魔的孩子尽情享受着美丽的夏日，不用上课，也没有纪律。

　　海伦·伯恩斯不能和我一起散步，因为她病了，得的不是猩红热，而是肺结核。我原以为她会康复，但后来听说她病得很重时，便决定晚上去看她，这很可能是见她最后一面了。我发现她躺在床上，苍白而虚弱。
