Bathsheba was getting ready for it.

几个月来，威瑟伯里的人们一直在谈论伯德伍德先生将在圣诞节之前举行的宴会，现在这一天终于来到了。芭丝谢芭正为赴宴作准备。

Bathsheba saw a kind of rainbow in the air，and gasped.

芭丝谢芭看到空中有一种彩虹，她有点透不过气来。

Bathsheba bowed down, prostrating herself before the king. " What is it you want" ? the king asked.

拔示巴向王屈身下拜。王说：" 你要什么？"

Now enter the third man, Sergeant Francis Troy – a charming military man who attracts Bathsheba's attention and eventually they get married.

现在是我们的第三个男主角，弗朗西斯·特洛伊中士——一个有魅力的军人，吸引了芭丝谢芭的注意力，最终他们结婚了。

Then King David said, " Call in Bathsheba" . So she came into the king's presence and stood before him.

大卫王吩咐说：" 叫拔示巴来。" 拔示巴就进来站在王面前。

’Then he realized that Bathsheba must have written to Mr Boldwood without signing her name，and he looked，puzzled， at the farmer.

盖伯瑞尔看了看信封，只是说，" 伊芙丁小姐的字迹。" 随后他意识到芭丝谢芭一定是给伯德伍德先生写了一封没有署名的信。他迷惑不解地看着这位农场主。

The sound of wheels came from the road，and Bathsheba arrived. Boldwood took her into the house，and the door closed behind them.

他的话他们听得清清楚楚。路上传来车轮声，芭丝谢芭到了。伯德伍德将她领进房内，并关上了门。

Sergeant Troy picked up his bag and was about to take the road to Bathsheba's house，when Boldwood stepped forward.

在穿过威瑟伯里回家的路上，他看见了来自巴斯的马车。车停在老地方，一个身着红色镶金制眼的士兵跳了下来，是托伊中士。他提起包，正准备向芭丝谢芭家走，伯德伍德走上前来。

Bathsheba's control was breaking. She shook her head desperately as the man's angry words rained down on her.

芭丝谢芭的感情快抑制不住了，她听着这个男人劈头盖脸的愤怒的诉说，绝望地摇着头。

Bathsheba's feelings were almost too much for her to control，and she sat down suddenly in the grass.

芭丝谢芭无法控制自己的感情，她跌坐在草地上。
