双城记(A Tale of Two Cities)第五章 锯木工(4)
`Good day, citizeness.'
“日安，女公民。”
`Good day, citizen.'
“日安，公民。”
This mode of address was now prescribed by decree. It had been established voluntarily some time ago, among the more thorough patriots; but, was now law for everybody.
这在那时是法定的招呼形式。不久前在较为彻底的爱国者之间不自觉形成的这种模式，现在已成了人人必须遵守的法律。
`Walking here again, citizeness?'
“又在这儿散步了么，女公民？”
`You see me, citizen!'
“你看见的，公民！”
The wood-sawyer, who was a little man with a redundancy of gesture (he had once been a mender of roads), cast a glance at the prison, pointed at the prison, and putting his ten fingers before his face to represent bars, peeped through them jocosely.
锯木工是个小个子，手势特别多（他以前干过补路工）。他望了望监狱，用手指了指，叉开十个指头放到脸前，代表铁栏杆，装出窥看的滑稽样子。
`But it's not my business,' said he. And went on sawing his wood.
“可这跟我没有关系，”他说。他又去锯木柴了。
