让事情象这样吧:我会对一个姑娘说:“请把你的水罐拿下来,好让我喝点水!如果她回答说:‘请喝吧,我还给你的骆驼也喝点水。’那她就是你预定要你的仆人以撒迎娶的姑娘。”
Let it be like this: I shall say to a girl, "please lower your jar so that I may drink; and if she answered, " Drink, and I will water your camels also ", that would be the girl whom thou dost intend for thy servant Isaac."
她回答说:“不行,约翰,我不想嫁给你。”
She answered, "No, John, I won't marry you."
"我正把这幅画挂到墙上," 我回答说,"这是幅新画,你喜欢吗?"
"I'm hanging this picture on the wall, " I answered, "it's a new one. Do you like it?"
"很好,谢谢,可我没法付账," 我回答说。 "我的皮包丢了。"
"Yes, thank you, " I answered, "but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag."
