Oliver Twist 雾都孤儿 - Chapter 51

The events narrated ² in the last chapter were yet but two days old, when Oliver found himself, at three o'clock in the afternoon, in a travelling-carriage rolling fast towards his native town., ,Mrs. Maylie, and Rose, and Mrs. Bedwin, and the good doctor were with him:, ,and Mr. Brownlow followed in a post-chaise, accompanied by one other person whose name had not been mentioned. They had not talked much upon the way; for Oliver was in a flutter of agitation ³ and uncertainty ⁴ which deprived him of the power of collecting his thoughts, and almost of speech, and appeared to have scarcely less effect on his companions, who shared it, in at least an equal degree., , ,'It was quite true,' he said, 'that they must know them before long, but it might be at a better time than the present, and it could not be at a worse.', ,So, they travelled on in silence:, ,When the vent became plugged,the engine would stop.当通风口被堵塞时，发动机就会停转。,Some of the story was narrated in the film. 该电影叙述了这个故事的部分情节 。 来自《简明英汉词典》
