She took a letter from the lid of her workbox, and handed it to him.

她从作箱的盖子上取出一封信， 递给他。

" No, never: we might do what we pleased; ransack her desk and her workbox, and turn her drawers inside out; and she was so good-natured, she would give us anything we asked for" .

“不，永远不会：我们可以为所欲为；翻遍她的办公桌和作箱，把她的抽屉翻个底朝天；她脾气很好，我们要什么她都会给我们”。

There was no superfluous ornament in the room—not one modern piece of furniture, save a brace of workboxes and a lady’s desk in rosewood, which stood on a side-table: everything—including the carpet and curtains—looked at once well worn and well saved.

房间里有多余的装饰——有一件现代家具，除了一对作箱和一张放在边桌上的红木女士书桌：一切——包括地毯和窗帘——看起来都破旧不堪保存完好。
