原著正文 · 英語

When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression.

對照譯文

當瑪麗·倫諾克斯被送到米塞爾斯韋特莊園跟她的姑丈一起生活時，人人都說她是大家見過的模樣最不討人喜歡的孩子。事實也確實如此。她長著一張瘦削的小臉、一副瘦小的身板，頭髮又細又淺，臉上總帶著一副乖戾不悅的神情。

原著正文 · 英語

Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself.

對照譯文

她的頭髮是黃的，臉色也是蠟黃的，因為她出生在印度，而且總是大小病不斷。她的父親曾在英國政府任職，他自己也向來公務繁忙、體弱多病。

原著正文 · 英語

Mary had liked to look at her mother from a distance and she had thought her very pretty, but as she knew very little of her she could scarcely have been expected to love her or to miss her very much when she was gone.

對照譯文

瑪麗以前喜歡遠遠地看著母親，覺得她非常漂亮；但由於她對母親了解甚少，誰也很難指望她會有多愛母親，或者在母親去世後有多麼想念她。

原著正文 · 英語

She did not miss her at all, in fact, and as she was a self-absorbed child she gave her entire thought to herself, as she had always done. If she had been older she would no doubt have been very anxious at being left alone in the world.

對照譯文

事實上她一點兒也不想念母親，而且因為她是個只顧自己的孩子，她像往常一樣把全部心思都放在了自己身上。如果她年紀再大一些，獨自一人留在世上無疑會讓她感到非常焦慮不安。
