I'm going back to the army in a month. '

'But you don't really care about a word from me,do you?
"我说话对你根本无所谓,不是吗?"
'I do,Miss Everdene. Perhaps you think it's foolish of me to want just a "good morning",
"不,伊芙丁小姐,我只听一声'早安'就满足了,
but you have never loved a beautiful woman like yourself,as I do. '
也许你觉得这样很傻,但你从未像我一样爱上一个你这样漂亮的女人。"

"你没表吗,小姐?我给你一块,"
and he handed her a heavy gold watch.

'That watch belonged to a nobleman,my father,and is all the inheritance I have. '
"这块表属于一个贵族,我的父亲,是我继承的全部财产。"
'But Sergeant Troy,I can't take this!
"托伊中士,我不能要这块表!
It's your father's,and so valuable!'said Bathsheba,horrified.
