A bright morning so early in the year, she allowed, would generally turn to rain, but a cloudy one foretold ³ improvement as the day advanced. She applied ⁴ to Mr. Allen for confirmation ⁵ of her hopes, but Mr. Allen, not having his own skies and barometer ⁶ about him, declined giving any absolute promise of sunshine. She applied to Mrs. Allen, and Mrs. Allen's opinion was more positive.

That will not signify; I never mind dirt.", ,This augured disaster for 1945. 这就预示1945年要发生灾难 。 来自互联网,The company will lend you money on very favourable terms.这家公司将以非常优惠的条件借钱给你
