10.
I was still preoccupied in my engagement—and surely there is nothing astonishing in that—and I began to
compose the words in which, immediately on the departure of Mr. Nixon after supper, I would break to my mother the
news of my engagement.
我还在想着我订婚的事——当然这没有什么好大惊小怪的——我开始斟酌语句,以便等尼可松先生饭后一离开,我立刻向母亲宣布我订婚的消息。
She was preoccupied in watching the football game. 她全神贯注于看足球赛。
On arrival, we all set to working enthusiastically. 我们一到马上就热火朝天地干起来。
