"And don't forget to send it in care of your cousin George," she said.
「还有别忘了，由乔治表哥转交。」她说。
When Alex asked Cora if she felt all right, she replied, "Of course. I feel fine."
当阿烈克问柯拉是否身体不舒服，她回答说：「我当然很好。」
But something was troubling her, he was sure.
但他可以确定，一定有什么事困扰着她。
She seemed to be waiting for something, but he had no idea what it was.
她似乎在等待什么，只是他不晓得那到底是什么。
It didn't help any when she said, "Don't lose your way home tonight."
虽然她说：「今晚回家时可别迷了路哦！」这句话还是于事无补。
What did she mean by such a statement? Well, he guessed he'd just have to expect her to have her good days and
 bad ones, like everyone else.
她说这句话是什么意思？嗯，他想他只有指望她跟大家一样有如意和不如意的日子。
He couldn't expect her to be in excellent spirits every day of the year.
他不能指望她一年中天天都是高高兴兴的。
He had thought about Cora's strange manner as he sat looking out of the bus window on his way to work.
在上班的路上，他坐在车上往窗外看时，心里想着柯拉的奇怪态度。
"Did I rub her the wrong way with something I said?" he asked himself.
「我说了什么话惹她生气？」他自问。
No, it couldn't be that.
不，不可能是那样的。
One thing about Cora; if she didn't like something he said, she let him know it.
柯拉有一点可以确定的是，如果她不喜欢他说的话，她就让他知道。
However, once she had done so, she let bygones be bygones and everything was all right again.
不过一旦那样做，她就既往不究。一切又平安无事了。
She was always ready to meet him halfway when they had an argument, too -- which was seldom.
他们有争论时 -- 那是少有的，她也总是乐意让步。
No, today was different. But why?
不对，今天不一样。但是为什么呢？
Once at the office Alex became absorbed in his work and forgot his wife's strange manner.
一旦到了办公室，阿烈克专心于工作，忘了太太奇怪的态度。
Not until later, in Hartman's Department Store, did he think of it again.
一直到后来在哈德曼百货公司，他才又想起这件事。
The beautiful ruby-red bowl reminded him.
是那只漂亮的红宝石似的玻璃果盆，使他想起来的。
Suddenly he felt he had to buy this lovely piece of glassware for his wife.
突然他觉得他一定要买这件可爱的玻璃器皿送给他太太。
Surely it would help her forget whatever was bothering her.
当然这可以帮她忘掉困扰着她的事。
