Unit 11 Runaway  逃跑

Red and yellow trimmed skirts whirled past her head like silk halos. Mary hugged her knees. They were bruised and dirty. She watched the gypsies dance around the fire and play their tambourines.
红边和黄边的裙子像丝质光圈一样在她头顶上旋转着。玛丽抱着她那擦伤的脏膝盖,看着这群吉普赛人一边打着铃鼓,一边围绕着火堆起舞。

Mary was eight. She lived in an orphanage run by a cruel woman. Each night Mary was given stale bread for dinner. Every day Mary had to work hard. So that day Mary ran away from the orphanage.
玛丽今年八岁,住在一家性格残酷的女人所开的孤儿院里。玛丽每晚只能吃不新鲜的面包,而且每天都要辛苦地工作;所以那天玛丽便从孤儿院逃了出来。

She walked all over town looking for food or work. She had to keep out of night. If anyone saw her, they would send her back to the orphanage. Mary was so hungry, she even tried to steal food from a market, but she was caught and she had to run away.
她走遍全镇,希望能找到食物或者工作,而且还要小心不被人看到;如果有人看到她,他们就会把她送回孤儿院、玛丽独自很饿,甚至还想去市场头东西吃,可是被逮到了,只好赶紧逃跑。

That night, Mary was very hungry. She met another girl who did not have any parents. "Come with me," said the girl. "I know where you can get food." Mary followed the girl through a dark road. The girl took her to the gypsies.
那天晚上,玛丽饿得要命,结果遇到另一个同样失去双亲的女孩,她说:“跟我来,我知道哪里有东西吃。”玛丽跟这名女孩走过一条黑暗的道路,她带她来到一群吉普赛人那里。

Mary was scared. The gypsies were known for being bad people. But these women were beautiful. They gave her food and a place to sleep. Mary never went back to the orphanage.
玛丽很害怕,因为吉普赛人士有名的坏人;可是这群女人却很美丽,还给她东西吃和地方睡觉。玛丽从此再也没有回孤儿院了。
