《印度之行的阅读笔记》勤劳的朱妞妞

6、第 6 章

　　到这里好像F你还以为是亲戚/兄弟关系的原因哦，笨F。

　　Respectful but irritated, he answered, "Once is enough."
　　F生气了哦，可惜居然还不明白自己当时的潜意识。这回答当年你是这么说的么？分明当年就是in a muddle. 给F个白眼。

　　"Yes, he has done his duty," said Hamidullah. "Do not tease戏弄 him so. He carries on his family, two boys and their sister."
　　这话就开始双层双关语了。
　　第一层是说Aziz/F，
　　第二次也可以说是哈米杜拉的妻子，也就是天足和长旅时期的M了。
　　"Aunt, they live most comfortably with my wife's mother, where she was living when she died. I can see them whenever I like. They are such very, very small children."
　　这是Aziz说话，Aziz现任妻子是Fielding, 前任是朗尼，朗尼的母亲是穆尔夫人。
　　也就是校园时代的M，也就是哈米杜拉的妻子。
　　在F眼里，校园时代的爱人M，生于斯也长眠于斯吧。
　　此时的3个孩子身份不明。

　　"And he sends them the whole of his salary and lives like a low-grade clerk and tells no one the reason. What more do you require him to do?"
　　第一层说的是A/F。
　　第二层，其实说的是天足和长旅里对F事事照顾的M。果然当年天足里，M说要照顾F的学业是真的，M提供了F很多学业上的钱。而且还帮F找工作，提供住宿，骗F说不要钱。唉，F啊，你到今天才发现呢？我在霍华德就发现啦。你就不想想他在天足说要资助你学业，这钱怎么来的么？

　　But this was not Hamidullah Begum's point and having courteously礼貌地 changed the conversation for a few moments she returned and made it.
　　哈哈哈，典型M的做法，请恕我吐槽，“蠢驴”M，不要害羞逃避啦，承认一下能要了你的命么？笑。。。这傻孩子总是这样，一个人默默扛起的事情实在太多了。

　　She said, "What is to become of all our daughters if men refuse to marry? They will marry beneath them,
　　额。。。。F，你这是公然调戏M么？译成下等人，唉，译者也不容易啊
　　第一层，女人不结婚，天下大乱，其实调戏M
　　第二层谜底，也指begum/F向M要求结婚。

　　Aziz took his leave saying "Perhaps . . but later . . ." his invariable reply to such an appeal.上诉恳求
　　然后M的犹豫，唉，其实F也犹豫的。。。

　　"You mustn't put off推迟 what you think right," said Hamidullah. "That is why India is in such a plight艰难, because we put off things."
　　哈米杜拉这话说的很对的，你们两个老是拖，拖到后来越来越困难。。。
