Oliver Twist 雾都孤儿 - Chapter 33

Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came., ,If the village had been beautiful at first it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness., ,The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth ¹ their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect ², steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched beyond., , ,It was the prime and vigour ⁴ of the year; all things were glad and flourishing. Still, the same quiet life went on at the little cottage, and the same cheerful serenity ⁵ prevailed among its inmates ⁶., ,Oliver had long since grown stout ⁷ and healthy; but health or sickness made no difference in his warm feelings of a great many people., ,He gave forth a series of works in rapid succession.他很快连续发表了一系列的作品。,This state of things holds out a cheerful prospect.事态呈现出可喜的前景 。
