'Was I right, 'she wondered for the hundredth time, 'to refuse him, when he said we should adopt a child?
我这样对吗？南茜第100次问自己，拒绝按他说的去收养一个孩子？
I believe that if God hasn't given us a child, it's because God doesn't want us to have one.

I'm sure I'm right. But poor Godfrey！It's worse for him than for me.
我想我是对的。可是可怜的戈弗雷，他比我要痛苦，
I've got him, and the house, and now the dairy to think about.
我拥有了他，拥有了房子，又将有牛奶厂，
But although he's always good to me,
可他虽然对我一直很好，
I know he's unhappy-he wants children so much！'

From the first moment Godfrey had spoken of adopting a child, he had mentioned Eppie's name.
戈弗雷第一次提起收养孩子的时候就讲到了埃比的名字。
She had always been the child he wanted to adopt.
他一直很想收养她，
