On her left were two matrons, with massive foreheads and bonnets to match, discussing Women's Rights and making tatting.

她左边是两位家庭主妇，头戴跟她们硕大前额相边女帽，讨论着女权问题，干着编织活。

She went on with her tatting all the while.

她直在继续她纹身。

" Don't! Don't" ! cried Melanie, dropping her tatting and flinging herself onto the sofa and drawing Scarlett's head down onto her shoulder.

" 别这样！别这样！" 媚兰大声喊，放下手里梭织花边，急忙坐到沙发上，把思嘉头移过来靠在她肩上。

Well, after all, old gentlemen were better than no gentlemen at all, thought Scarlett, measuring out the tatting and submitting demurely to being chucked under the chin.

好吧，有了两位老先生总比位先生都没有要强，尽管思嘉在量花边时不得不假装正经地让人家在下巴上捏了下。
