[00:00.99] | CHAPTER 3 A FAMILY OF WITCHES |
[00:07.81] | I ran from Malkin Tower, |
[00:10.95] | down the hill into Newchurch. |
[00:14.59] | James followed me. |
[00:17.58] | 'I want to go to Read Hall,too,'he said. |
[00:24.03] | We ran through the trees to Sabden Brook. |
[00:29.59] | The noise of the river was beautiful in my ears. |
[00:35.98] | We went along the river to the village of Sabden, |
[00:40.43] | and then it began to rain. |
[00:44.36] | Suddenly,we heard the noise of horses behind us. |
[00:49.25] | We got off the road, and watched the horses. |
[00:54.57] | It was Roger Nowell with some of his men. |
[01:00.04] | They saw us, and Mr Nowell stopped. |
[01:05.11] | 'It' s the Device children,' he said. |
[01:09.22] | ' What's your name,child?' |
[01:13.02] | 'My name is Jennet,' I said. |
[01:16.54] | 'We 're going to Read Hall. |
[01:19.28] | I want to talk to you.' |
[01:23.68] | Roger Nowell looked at me with his warm brown eyes. |
[01:30.77] | 'Very well,'he said. |
[01:34.08] | 'Come home with me, |
[01:36.09] | and we can talk. |
[01:39.90] | 'He lifted me up on to his horse, |
[01:44.19] | and the horse moved quickly |
[01:46.21] | along the road to the village of Read. |
[01:50.47] | James ran along behind us. |
[01:54.90] | Very soon,we arrived at Read Hall. |
[02:00.51] | The servant opened the door for us, |
[02:03.77] | and we went into the warm house. |
[02:09.20] | James came in,too, |
[02:11.99] | and sat down next to me near the fire. |
[02:18.11] | Mr Nowell put his black hat down on the table. |
[02:23.68] | 'Bring a hot drink and some food for these children, |
[02:28.61] | 'he told the servant.' They' re cold and hungry.' |
[02:36.17] | The servant brought bread and hot milk for us, |
[02:40.61] | and James and I ate hungrily. |
[02:44.82] | I felt warm and happy in Mr Nowell' s house. |
[02:50.48] | I wanted to stay there all my life; |
[02:54.45] | I never wanted to go back to Malkin Tower. |
[03:03.04] | When we finished eating, |
[03:05.43] | Mr Nowell looked up from his book. |
[03:09.81] | 'You wanted to talk to me,' |
[03:13.96] | he said quietly.'Well, I'm listening.' |
[03:20.35] | I got up ,went across the room and stood in front of Mr Nowell. |
[03:29.03] | ' I'm afraid of my mother,' |
[03:33.13] | I began.' I'm afraid because |
[03:38.20] | she' s a witch and she can kill people.' |
[03:44.70] | The room was quiet. |
[03:48.69] | Mr Nowell said nothing, |
[03:51.71] | but his brown eyes were kind. |
[03:57.54] | 'My mother and her friends are at Malkin Tower,' |
[04:03.93] | I told him.'They want to go to Lancaster Castle and kill the guards. |
[04:12.05] | They' re going to bring Old Demdike and Alizon home again.' |
[04:19.20] | Mr Nowell got up and left the room. |
[04:26.15] | After some time, he came back with two of his friends. |
[04:30.37] | They all sat down at the table. |
[04:34.53] | 'Jennet, I want you to tell me again about your mother and her friends.' |
[04:42.91] | 'They want to kill the guards at Lancaster Castle |
[04:46.99] | and bring Old Demdike home to Malkin Tower,' |
[04:51.05] | I said.Then I began to cry. |
[04:57.19] | 'Den't cry,'Mr Nowell said kindly. |
[05:02.65] | 'We can help you,but we must talk to your brother first. |
[05:08.35] | James!'he called. |
[05:12.21] | 'Tell me about your mother. |
[05:15.28] | Is she a witch?' |
[05:18.79] | ' She' s a witch. We' re all witches,' |
[05:23.23] | James began.' Old Demdike's a witch. |
[05:27.55] | One night,she went to the church at Newchurch |
[05:31.21] | and got some teeth from dead bodies there. |
[05:35.24] | The Devil talked to her and she brought the teeth to Malkin Tower. |
[05:40.52] | They're under the ground by our door!' |
[05:45.94] | ' Old Demdike' s a witch; we know that,' |
[05:50.58] | Mr Nowell said.'Tell us about your mother.' |
[05:56.86] | 'Mother' s a witch,' James said. |
[06:00.46] | ' She killed Mr Robinson,from Barley village. |
[06:04.14] | She made a clay picture, |
[06:06.75] | and then she broke it, |
[06:09.24] | and Mr Robinson died a week later.' |
[06:14.93] | James smiled at Mr Nowell. |
[06:18.97] | He liked Mr Nowell because |
[06:21.29] | Mr Nowell didn' t shout at him. |
[06:25.25] | 'And I'm a witch, too! |
[06:27.42] | I can kill people!' |
[06:30.22] | 'No, James!' I cried. |
[06:33.01] | ' You' re not a witch! |
[06:34.88] | You don' t kill people!' |
[06:37.75] | ' Yes, I do,'James said angrily. |
[06:43.14] | His face went red.' My dog,Dandy, |
[06:49.02] | is the Devil and he killed a man for me. |
[06:54.82] | I wanted a shirt and Mr Duckworth |
[06:59.07] | was going to give me one of his old shirts. |
[07:02.08] | But in the end, he didn' t give it to me and I was very angry. |
[07:09.39] | I nearly killed Mr Duckworth! |
[07:13.81] | But I called Dandy,and he killed Mr Duckworth for me!' |
[07:22.10] | I began to cry.My brother was a witch,too! |
[07:29.76] | All my family were witches! |
[07:34.92] | 'Don't cry,Jennet,'Mr Nowell said. |
[07:39.76] | 'Someone must take care of you. |
[07:43.20] | You can stay here at Read Hall with me.' |
[07:50.11] | When Mr Nowell' s men brought my mother to Read Hall, |
[07:55.44] | she said nothing at first. |
[08:00.36] | 'Tell us about the pictures of clay, |
[08:03.94] | 'Mr Nowell said.'My men found pictures of clay at Malkin Tower.' |
[08:14.80] | My mother said nothing. |
[08:19.12] | 'Your mother,Old Demdike, |
[08:23.04] | is a witch.Your daughter is a witch,' |
[08:29.61] | Mr Nowell said.'Your son killed Mr Duckworth |
[08:35.70] | because of shirt.Now,tell us about the clay pictures.' |
[08:45.79] | My mother said nothing. |
[08:50.42] | 'James told us about Mr Robinson of Barley, |
[08:55.29] | 'Mr Nowell said .' Did you kill him?' |
[09:02.01] | Suddenly, my mother' s face went red |
[09:05.81] | and she began to shout at James. |
[09:09.11] | 'A good son,you are! |
[09:10.85] | You told this rich man about Jack Robinson of Barley. |
[09:15.27] | Well, you told the truth. |
[09:18.83] | I killed him! I made a clay picture, |
[09:24.00] | and then I broke it, and a week later he died. |
[09:30.87] | I killed him because I hated him.' |
[09:38.23] | She stopped and looked at me . |
[09:42.05] | I wanted to run away |
[09:44.63] | but Mr Nowell's servant stood in front of the door. |
[09:49.64] | Then my mother laughed. 'Jennet Device, |
[09:57.08] | witch' s daughter! You hate us, |
[10:00.67] | I know that. |
[10:02.90] | Well, it doesn' t matter because you're right: |
[10:08.18] | you are different. |
[10:10.84] | You 're my daughter, |
[10:13.22] | but you're not the daughter of my husband. |
[10:17.82] | Your father was a rich man, |
[10:21.33] | but he never gave me money. |
[10:24.76] | A witch' s child,he called you. |
[10:28.77] | And when you were born, |
[10:31.00] | he never came near me again. |
[10:35.48] | Jack Robinson learnt the truth about your father. |
[10:40.19] | He told the villagers of Barley and they called me a bad woman, |
[10:47.49] | but they didn 't call your father a bad man! |
[10:52.06] | Nobody in Barley gave me food again, |
[10:56.02] | because of Jack Robinson. |
[10:59.83] | I hated him,and so I killed him!' |
[11:08.48] | The room was very quiet and my mother laughed again. |
[11:18.17] | My hands felt cold and my face was hot, |
[11:24.42] | but I didn' t cry.When Mr Device died, |
[11:31.57] | I cried for days. |
[11:35.37] | But he was not my father. |
[11:39.46] | I looked at my mother, |
[11:44.18] | at her dirty hair and her ugly face, |
[11:47.24] | at her angry eyes. |
[11:51.30] | I hated her then, |
[11:54.40] | and I hated her for many years. |

[01:19.28] | I want to talk to you' |
[01:23.68] | Roger Nowell looked at me with his warm brown eyes |
[01:30.77] | ' Very well,' he said |
[01:34.08] | ' Come home with me, |
[01:36.09] | and we can talk |
[01:39.90] | ' He lifted me up on to his horse, |
[01:44.19] | and the horse moved quickly |
[01:46.21] | along the road to the village of Read |
[01:50.47] | James ran along behind us |
[01:54.90] | Very soon, we arrived at Read Hall |

[00:00.99] | CHAPTER 3 A FAMILY OF WITCHES |
[00:07.81] | I ran from Malkin Tower, |

[00:49.25] | We got off the road, and watched the horses |
[00:54.57] | It was Roger Nowell with some of his men |
[01:00.04] | They saw us, and Mr Nowell stopped |
[01:05.11] | ' It' s the Device children,' he said |
[01:09.22] | ' What' s your name, child?' |
[01:13.02] | ' My name is Jennet,' I said |
[01:16.54] | ' We ' re going to Read Hall |

[01:30.77] | ' Very well,' he said |
[01:34.08] | ' Come home with me, |
[01:36.09] | and we can talk |
[01:39.90] | ' He lifted me up on to his horse, |
[01:44.19] | and the horse moved quickly |
[01:46.21] | along the road to the village of Read |
[01:50.47] | James ran along behind us |
[01:54.90] | Very soon, we arrived at Read Hall |
[02:00.51] | The servant opened the door for us, |
[02:03.77] | and we went into the warm house |
[02:09.20] | James came in, too, |
[02:11.99] | and sat down next to me near the fire |

[03:20.35] | I got up , went across the room and stood in front of Mr Nowell |
[03:29.03] | ' I' m afraid of my mother,' |
[03:33.13] | I began' I' m afraid because |
[03:38.20] | she' s a witch and she can kill people' |

[03:57.54] | ' My mother and her friends are at Malkin Tower,' |
[04:03.93] | I told him' They want to go to Lancaster Castle and kill the guards |
[04:12.05] | They' re going to bring Old Demdike and Alizon home again' |
[04:19.20] | Mr Nowell got up and left the room |
[04:26.15] | After some time, he came back with two of his friends |
[04:30.37] | They all sat down at the table |
[04:34.53] | ' Jennet, I want you to tell me again about your mother and her friends' |
[04:42.91] | ' They want to kill the guards at Lancaster Castle |
[04:46.99] | and bring Old Demdike home to Malkin Tower,' |
[04:51.05] | I said Then I began to cry |
[04:57.19] | ' Den' t cry,' Mr Nowell said kindly |
[05:02.65] | ' We can help you, but we must talk to your brother first |
[05:08.35] | James!' he called |
[05:12.21] | ' Tell me about your mother |
[05:15.28] | Is she a witch?' |
[05:18.79] | ' She' s a witch We' re all witches,' |
[05:23.23] | James began' Old Demdike' s a witch |
[05:27.55] | One night, she went to the church at Newchurch |
[05:31.21] | and got some teeth from dead bodies there |
[05:35.24] | The Devil talked to her and she brought the teeth to Malkin Tower |
[05:40.52] | They' re under the ground by our door!' |
[05:45.94] | ' Old Demdike' s a witch we know that,' |
[05:50.58] | Mr Nowell said' Tell us about your mother' |
[05:56.86] | ' Mother' s a witch,' James said |
[06:00.46] | ' She killed Mr Robinson, from Barley village |
[06:04.14] | She made a clay picture, |
[06:06.75] | and then she broke it, |
[06:09.24] | and Mr Robinson died a week later' |
[06:14.93] | James smiled at Mr Nowell |
[06:18.97] | He liked Mr Nowell because |
[06:21.29] | Mr Nowell didn' t shout at him |
[06:25.25] | ' And I' m a witch, too! |
[06:27.42] | I can kill people!' |
[06:30.22] | ' No, James!' I cried |
[06:33.01] | ' You' re not a witch! |
[06:34.88] | You don' t kill people!' |
[06:37.75] | ' Yes, I do,' James said angrily |
[06:43.14] | His face went red' My dog, Dandy, |
[06:49.02] | is the Devil and he killed a man for me |
[06:54.82] | I wanted a shirt and Mr Duckworth |
[06:59.07] | was going to give me one of his old shirts |
[07:02.08] | But in the end, he didn' t give it to me and I was very angry |
[07:09.39] | I nearly killed Mr Duckworth! |
[07:13.81] | But I called Dandy, and he killed Mr Duckworth for me!' |
[07:22.10] | I began to cry My brother was a witch, too! |
[07:29.76] | All my family were witches! |
[07:34.92] | ' Don' t cry, Jennet,' Mr Nowell said |
[07:39.76] | ' Someone must take care of you |
[07:43.20] | You can stay here at Read Hall with me' |
[07:50.11] | When Mr Nowell' s men brought my mother to Read Hall, |
[07:55.44] | she said nothing at first |
[08:00.36] | ' Tell us about the pictures of clay, |
[08:03.94] | ' Mr Nowell said' My men found pictures of clay at Malkin Tower' |
[08:14.80] | My mother said nothing |
[08:19.12] | ' Your mother, Old Demdike, |
[08:23.04] | is a witch Your daughter is a witch,' |
[08:29.61] | Mr Nowell said' Your son killed Mr Duckworth |
[08:35.70] | because of shirt Now, tell us about the clay pictures' |
[08:45.79] | My mother said nothing |
[08:50.42] | ' James told us about Mr Robinson of Barley, |
[08:55.29] | ' Mr Nowell said ' Did you kill him?' |
[09:02.01] | Suddenly, my mother' s face went red |
[09:05.81] | and she began to shout at James |
[09:09.11] | ' A good son, you are! |
[09:10.85] | You told this rich man about Jack Robinson of Barley |
[09:15.27] | Well, you told the truth |
[09:18.83] | I killed him! I made a clay picture, |
[09:24.00] | and then I broke it, and a week later he died |
[09:30.87] | I killed him because I hated him' |
[09:38.23] | She stopped and looked at me |
[09:42.05] | I wanted to run away |
[09:44.63] | but Mr Nowell' s servant stood in front of the door |
[09:49.64] | Then my mother laughed ' Jennet Device, |
[09:57.08] | witch' s daughter! You hate us, |
[10:00.67] | I know that |
[10:02.90] | Well, it doesn' t matter because you' re right: |
[10:08.18] | you are different |
[10:10.84] | You ' re my daughter, |
[10:13.22] | but you' re not the daughter of my husband |
[10:17.82] | Your father was a rich man, |
[10:21.33] | but he never gave me money |
[10:24.76] | A witch' s child, he called you |
[10:28.77] | And when you were born, |
[10:31.00] | he never came near me again |
[10:35.48] | Jack Robinson learnt the truth about your father |
[10:40.19] | He told the villagers of Barley and they called me a bad woman, |
[10:47.49] | but they didn ' t call your father a bad man! |
[10:52.06] | Nobody in Barley gave me food again, |
[10:56.02] | because of Jack Robinson |
[10:59.83] | I hated him, and so I killed him!' |
[11:08.48] | The room was very quiet and my mother laughed again |
[11:18.17] | My hands felt cold and my face was hot, |
[11:24.42] | but I didn' t cry When Mr Device died, |
[11:31.57] | I cried for days |
[11:35.37] | But he was not my father |
[11:39.46] | I looked at my mother, |
[11:44.18] | at her dirty hair and her ugly face, |
[11:47.24] | at her angry eyes |
[11:51.30] | I hated her then, |
[11:54.40] | and I hated her for many years |
[00:00.99] | 第3章 巫师之家 |
[00:07.81] | 我跑出马尔金塔, |
[00:10.95] | 跑下潘德尔山来到了纽丘奇村。 |
[00:14.59] | 詹姆斯一直跟着我。 |
[00:17.58] | “我也想去里德宅院。”他说。 |
[00:24.03] | 我们穿过树林来到了萨卜登小溪。 |
[00:29.59] | 潺潺的流水声在我听来十分悦耳。 |
[00:35.98] | 我们沿着河走到了萨卜登村, |
[00:40.43] | 这时天下起雨来。 |
[00:44.36] | 忽然,从我们身后传来了马蹄声。 |
[00:49.25] | 我们离开大路,看着那些马匹。 |
[00:54.57] | 那是罗杰•诺埃尔和他的手下。 |
[01:00.04] | 他们看到了我们俩,诺埃尔先生停了下来。 |
[01:05.11] | “原来是迪瓦斯家的孩子们,”他说。 |
[01:09.22] | “孩子,你叫什么名字?” |
[01:13.02] | “我叫詹妮特,”我说。 |
[01:16.54] | “我们要去里德宅院。 |
[01:19.28] | 我想和您谈谈。” |
[01:23.68] | 罗杰•诺埃尔用他那双充满热情的棕色眼睛看了看我。 |
[01:30.77] | “很好,”他说。 |
[01:34.08] | “跟我一起回家吧, |
[01:36.09] | 这样我们就可以谈谈了。” |
[01:39.90] | 他把我举起来放到他的马上, |
[01:44.19] | 马于是迅速地沿着大道 |
[01:46.21] | 向里德村行进。 |
[01:50.47] | 詹姆斯一路跑着跟在我们后面。 |
[01:54.90] | 很快,我们到达了里德宅院。 |
[02:00.51] | 先生的用人打开屋门, |
[02:03.77] | 我们走进了十分暖和的房子。 |
[02:09.20] | 詹姆斯也进来了, |
[02:11.99] | 他挨着我坐在炉火边。 |
[02:18.11] | 诺埃尔先生把他的黑帽子放在桌子上。 |
[02:23.68] | “给孩子们拿点热饮和一些吃的来。” |
[02:28.61] | 他吩咐用人说。“他们又冷又饿。” |
[02:36.17] | 用人给我们拿来了面包和热牛奶, |
[02:40.61] | 詹姆斯和我大吃起来。 |
[02:44.82] | 在诺埃尔先生家里,我感到既温暖又快乐。 |
[02:50.48] | 我希望一辈子呆在那儿; |
[02:54.45] | 我再也不想回到马尔金塔去了。 |
[03:03.04] | 我们吃完了饭, |
[03:05.43] | 诺埃尔先生不再看书,抬起头来。 |
[03:09.81] | “你有事想对我说,” |
[03:13.96] | 他轻声说。“好吧,我听着呢。” |
[03:20.35] | 我站起身,穿过房间,站在诺埃尔先生面前。 |
[03:29.03] | “我害怕我妈妈,” |
[03:33.13] | 我开始说道。“我害怕, |
[03:38.20] | 因为她是女巫,她能杀人。” |
[03:44.70] | 房间里十分安静。 |
[03:48.69] | 诺埃尔先生什么也没说, |
[03:51.71] | 但是他的棕色眼睛是友善的。 |
[03:57.54] | “现在,我妈妈和她的朋友们正聚在马尔金塔,” |
[04:03.93] | 我告诉他说。“他们想要去兰开斯特城堡杀死看守。 |
[04:12.05] | 他们打算把老德姆代克和艾丽森带回家。” |
[04:19.20] | 诺埃尔先生站起身离开了房间。 |
[04:26.15] | 过了一些时候,他和他的两个朋友一起回来了。 |
[04:30.37] | 他们全都在桌前坐了下来。 |
[04:34.53] | “詹妮特,我要你再对我说一遍有关你母亲和她朋友的事。” |
[04:42.91] | “他们想杀死兰开斯特城堡的看守, |
[04:46.99] | 然后把老德姆代克带回马尔金塔。” |
[04:51.05] | 我说。说完,我哭了。 |
[04:57.19] | “别哭,”诺埃尔先生和蔼地说。 |
[05:02.65] | “我们能帮助你,不过我们必须先和你哥哥谈谈。 |
[05:08.35] | 詹姆斯!”他喊了一声。 |
[05:12.21] | “给我讲讲你母亲的事。 |
[05:15.28] | 她是女巫吗?” |
[05:18.79] | “她是女巫。我们都是巫师。” |
[05:23.23] | 詹姆斯说。“老德姆代克是个女巫。 |
[05:27.55] | 一天夜里,她去了纽丘奇村的教堂, |
[05:31.21] | 从那里的尸体上取下了一些牙齿。 |
[05:35.24] | 魔鬼和她对了话,随后她把牙齿带回了马尔金塔, |
[05:40.52] | 它们就在我家大门旁的地下。” |
[05:45.94] | “老德姆代克是个女巫,这我们知道,” |
[05:50.58] | 诺埃尔先生说。“把你母亲的事告诉我们。” |
[05:56.86] | “妈妈是女巫,”詹姆斯说。 |
[06:00.46] | “她杀死了巴利村的鲁滨逊先生。 |
[06:04.14] | 她做了一个泥像, |
[06:06.75] | 然后把它打碎, |
[06:09.24] | 一星期后鲁滨逊先生死去了。” |
[06:14.93] | 詹姆斯对诺埃尔先生微笑了一下。 |
[06:18.97] | 他喜欢诺埃尔先生, |
[06:21.29] | 因为诺埃尔先生不冲着他大喊大叫。 |
[06:25.25] | “还有,我也是个巫师! |
[06:27.42] | 我能害死人!” |
[06:30.22] | “不,詹姆斯!”我喊道。 |
[06:33.01] | “你不是巫师! |
[06:34.88] | 你不杀人!” |
[06:37.75] | “不,我杀人。”詹姆斯生气地说。 |
[06:43.14] | 他的脸红了起来。“我的狗丹迪是魔鬼, |
[06:49.02] | 它为我杀过一个人。 |
[06:54.82] | 有一次我想要一件衬衣, |
[06:59.07] | 达克沃思先生准备把他的一件旧衬衣给我。 |
[07:02.08] | 可是最后他没有给我,我非常生气。 |
[07:09.39] | 我差点儿杀了他! |
[07:13.81] | 不过我喊来了丹迪,它为我杀死了达克沃思先生!” |
[07:22.10] | 我哭了起来。我的哥哥也是个巫师! |
[07:29.76] | 我的全家都是巫师! |
[07:34.92] | “别哭,詹妮特,”诺埃尔先生说。 |
[07:39.76] | “必须有人照顾你。 |
[07:43.20] | 你可以留在里德宅院,和我在一起。” |
[07:50.11] | 诺埃尔先生手下的人把我妈妈带到了里德宅院, |
[07:55.44] | 起初她一言不发。 |
[08:00.36] | “把泥塑像的事告诉我们,” |
[08:03.94] | 诺埃尔先生说。“我手下的人在马尔金塔找到了一些泥塑像。” |
[08:14.80] | 我妈妈没有作声。 |
[08:19.12] | “你的母亲老德姆代克是女巫。 |
[08:23.04] | 你的女儿是女巫,” |
[08:29.61] | 诺埃尔先生说。“你的儿子为了一件衬衣杀死了达克沃思先生。 |
[08:35.70] | 现在把泥塑像的事告诉我们。” |
[08:45.79] | 我妈妈什么也没说。 |
[08:50.42] | “詹姆斯对我们讲了巴利村鲁滨逊先生的事,” |
[08:55.29] | 诺埃尔先生说。“是你杀了他吗?” |
[09:02.01] | 突然间,我妈妈的脸涨红了, |
[09:05.81] | 她冲着詹姆斯大喊: |
[09:09.11] | “你真是个好儿子! |
[09:10.85] | 你把巴利村杰克•鲁滨逊的事告诉了这个有钱人。 |
[09:15.27] | 是的,你说的完全属实。 |
[09:18.83] | 是我杀了他!我做了一个泥像, |
[09:24.00] | 然后把它打碎,一星期后他就死了。 |
[09:30.87] | 我杀了他是因为我恨他。” |
[09:38.23] | 她停下来看着我。 |
[09:42.05] | 我想跑开, |
[09:44.63] | 可是诺埃尔先生的用人正站在门前。 |
[09:49.64] | 妈妈哈哈大笑着说:“詹妮特•迪瓦斯, |
[09:57.08] | 巫师的女儿! |
[10:00.67] | 我知道,你恨我们。 |
[10:02.90] | 嗯,这没什么,因为你是对的: |
[10:08.18] | 你是不一样。 |
[10:10.84] | 你是我女儿, |
[10:13.22] | 但你不是我丈夫的女儿。 |
[10:17.82] | 你的父亲是个有钱人, |
[10:21.33] | 可他从来不给我钱。 |
[10:24.76] | 他管你叫巫师的孩子。 |
[10:28.77] | 从你一出生, |
[10:31.00] | 他就再也没靠近过我。 |
[10:35.48] | 杰克•鲁滨逊得知你亲生父亲的真相后, |
[10:40.19] | 便告诉了巴利村的居民们。他们说我是坏女人, |
[10:47.49] | 却不说你父亲是一个坏男人! |
[10:52.06] | 从那以后,在巴利村,再也没有人给我吃的了, |
[10:56.02] | 这都是杰克•鲁滨逊造成的。 |
[10:59.83] | 我恨他,所以我杀了他!” |
[11:08.48] | 房间里静悄悄的,我的妈妈又大笑起来。 |
[11:18.17] | 我的手冰凉冰凉,我的脸热辣辣。 |
[11:24.42] | 不过我没有哭。迪瓦斯先生去世时, |
[11:31.57] | 我哭了好几天。 |
[11:35.37] | 然而他不是我父亲。 |
[11:39.46] | 我看着妈妈, |
[11:44.18] | 看着她那肮脏的头发、丑陋的面容 |
[11:47.24] | 和愤怒的双眼。 |
[11:51.30] | 在那一刻,我真恨她, |
[11:54.40] | 许多年来我一直恨她。 |
