快活的

That evening is one of my happiest recollections.

那天晚上我记忆中最的事情之一。

Mr. Phillips was a cheery man.

菲利浦先生生性的人。

How, from a jolly, affectionate person she had become a harridan , constantly nagging at him to improve himself.

她怎样地从一的，充满柔情的女人变成一凶恶的悍妇，完了地向抱怨，催改善自己的境遇，。

But he was very tentative, fastidiously so, letting Ruth set the pace of sprightliness and fancy, keeping up with her but never daring to go beyond her.

却很小心，甚至过分小心，只紧跟露丝定下的和幻想的尺度，不敢轻易越雷池一步。
