I sent the house-maid for the police and put the investigation into their hands at once.

我立刻派佣人去召来警察，请他们马上进行调查。

Ten o'clock passed, and I heard the footsteps of the maid as she pattered off to bed.

十点过后，我佣人回房睡觉去的脚步声。

I gave the maid a card, but I see that she has left it upon the side-table.

我给了佣人一张名片，我看到将它放到旁边的桌子上了。

Mammy waddled back into the hall and Scarlett heard her call softly up the stairwell to the upstairs maid.

嬷嬷蹒跚地走回堂屋，这时思嘉到轻声呼唤着上楼去找楼上的那个佣人。

I rushed out and found her mother's maid and we locked the door and got her into a cold bath.

我跑出去，找到母亲的贴身佣人，然后我们锁上了门，让洗个冷水澡。

" No, I shall commence with the City. Just ring the bell and the maid will bring up your coffee."

" 不，我得从城里开始，只要拉拉铃，佣人就会给你端杯咖啡来的。"

I have three maid-servants who have been with me a number of years and whose absolute reliability is quite above suspicion.

我有三个佣人，们已跟随我多年，都是绝对可靠而无须置疑的。

I was awakened by the maid tapping at the door to announce that two men had come from Paddington and were waiting in the consulting-room.

我被佣人的敲门声吵醒。对我说，从帕丁顿来了两个人，正在诊室里等候。

The girl who was with him got into the papers too because her arm was broken— she was one of the chambermaids in the Santa Barbara Hotel.

跟他同车的姑娘也上了报，因为的胳膊撞断了——是圣巴巴拉饭店里的一个收拾房间的佣人。

A maid began opening the upper windows of his house, appeared momentarily in each, and, leaning from a large central bay, spat meditatively into the garden.

一个佣人开始打开楼上的窗户，在每个窗口出现片刻，然后，从正中的大窗户出身子，若有所思地向花园里啐了一口。

Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.

因此，你瞧，我就得出这样的双重推断，认为你曾经在恶劣的天气中出去过，以及你穿的皮靴上出现的特别难看的裂痕是伦敦年轻而没有经验的佣人干的。

This reminded me that I had forgotten to tell my Finn to come back so I drove into West Egg Village to search for her among soggy white-washed alleys and to buy some cups and lemons and flowers.

这使我想起我忘了告诉叫我那芬兰佣人回来，于是我就开车到西卵镇上去，在湿淋淋的、两边是白石灰墙的小巷子里找，同时买了一些茶杯、柠檬和鲜花。

Some mornings he dismissed the maid and brought her the breakfast tray himself and fed her as though she were a child, took the hairbrush from her hand and brushed her long dark hair until it snapped and crackled.

有时他早上不用佣人，亲自用托盘把早点给送到房里，一点一点地喂，仿佛是个孩子，他还把头刷从手里拿过来，给刷头发，刷得那乌黑的长头发噼啪作响。

Your pier-glass or extensive surface of polished steel made to be rubbed by a housemaid, will be minutely and multitudinously scratched in all directions; but place now against it a lighted candle as a centre of illumination, and lo!

你的穿衣镜或抛光钢的大面积表面会被佣人擦，会在各个方向上被细微而众多的划痕；但是现在在它对面放一支点燃的蜡烛作为照明中心，瞧！
