I found her with Colonel MacAndrew and his wife.

我在她家里也看到了麦克安德鲁上校同他的妻子。

I understood from Colonel MacAndrew that you'd made up your mind to divorce him.

“我听麦克安德鲁上校的意思，你已经决心同他离婚了。”

Mrs. MacAndrew continued: If it's just a whim, he'll get over it.

如果这只是一时心血来潮，那过不了多久他就厌倦了。

I wouldn't do that, said Mrs. MacAndrew. I'd give him all the rope he wants.

“要是我就不那么做，”麦克安德鲁太太说，“他爱怎么样我就让他怎么样。

Colonel MacAndrew and his wife uttered expressions of incredulity, and Mrs. Strickland sprang to her feet.

麦克安德鲁上校和他的妻子部表示不能相信地喊叫起来；思特里克兰德太太甚至从椅子上跳起来。

Colonel MacAndrew and his wife began to talk to her together.

麦克安德鲁上校和他的妻子一起劝解她。

Well, if what you say is true, said Mrs. MacAndrew at last, things aren't so bad as I thought.

“好吧，如果你说的是真的，”麦克安德鲁太太最后开口说，“事情倒不像我想的那么糟。”

Mrs. MacAndrew smoothed down the lap of her gown, and gold bangles fell over her wrists.

麦克安德鲁太太把她衣服的下摆理平，臂上的金钏滑落到手腕上。

He'll come back with his tail between his legs and settle down again quite comfortably. Mrs. MacAndrew looked at her sister coolly.

有一天他会夹着尾巴回家来，老老实实地过他的舒服日子。”说到这里，麦克安德鲁太太冷冷地看了她妹妹一眼。

My dear, I have no patience with you, cried Mrs. MacAndrew. You don't mean to say you believe a word of this nonsense?

“亲爱的，我可真要生你的气了，”麦克安德鲁太太叫喊起来，“看你的意思，这些鬼话你真相信了？”

I could not help thinking that Colonel MacAndrew might have some difficulty in doing this, since Strickland had struck me as a hefty fellow, but I did not say anything.

我禁不住想，麦克安德鲁上校做这件事并不很容易，因为思特里克兰德身强力壮，给我留下的印象很深，但是我并没有说什么。

Colonel MacAndrew had not exaggerated when he said she would be penniless, and it was necessary for her to earn her own living as quickly as she could.

麦克安德鲁上校当初说她手头分文不名并没有夸大。

Mrs. MacAndrew shared the common opinion of her sex that a man is always a brute to leave a woman who is attached to him, but that a woman is much to blame if he does.

麦克安德鲁太太和大多数女性的见解相同，认为男人们都是一些没有心肝的畜类，总想丢开倾心爱着他们的女人，但是一旦他真的做出这种事来，更多的过错是在女人这一方面。
