第3章01. My first imp

Part Two - A Gril At Lowood
3 My first impressions of school
　　Mrs Reed arranged for me to leave on the nineteenth of January．I had to get up very early to catch the coach，but Bessie helped me to get ready．
　　'Will you say goodbye to Mrs Reed，Jane？'she asked．
　　'No，she said I shouldn't disturb her so early．Anyway，I don't want to say anything to her．She's always hated me．'
　　'Oh，Miss Jane，don't say that！'
　　'Goodbye to Gateshead！'I shouted wildly，as we walked together out of the front door，to wait for the coach in the road．It arrived，pulled by four horses，and full of passengers．The coachman took my luggage and called me to hurry up．Bessie kissed me for the last time as I held tightly to her．
　　She shouted up to the coachman，'Make sure you take care of her！Fifty miles is a long way for a young child to go alone．'
'I will！'he answered．The door was closed，and the coach rolled off．What a strange feeling to be leaving Gateshead，my home for the whole of my childhood！Although I was sad to say goodbye to Bessie，I was both excited and nervous about the new place I would see，and the new people I would meet．
3 我对学校的第一印象
　　里德太太安排我在1月19日离开。为了赶上马车，我必须起个大早，贝茜帮助我做好了准备。
　　她问：“简，你去向里德太太道别吗？”
　　“不了，她说不让我这么早打扰她。反正我也不想和她说话。她一向恨我的。”
　　“噢，简小姐，别这么说。”
　　“盖茨赫德，再见了！”我大声喊着。我们一起走出前门，在路边等车。车来了，四匹马拉着，挤满了乘客。车夫接过我的行李，让我赶紧上车。我紧抱着贝茜，她吻了我最后一次。
　　她对车夫喊着：“你一定要好好照顾她。小孩子孤身一人，50英里路太远了。”
　　“我会的。”车夫答道。门关上了，马车继续前行。离开盖茨赫德的感觉真奇怪，这是我整个童年的家呀！和贝茜告别让我很难过，但想到我要去新的地方，见到新的人，我就又激动又害怕。
