她的眼睛抬起来看了他的脸一瞬间，然后又看向编织物，说：“不是。”
She lifted her eyes to his face for a fraction of a second, looked back at the knitting again, and said, “No.”
他有一种模糊而不舒服的感觉，觉得自己应该和她聊聊天，房间里的其他人似乎都在交谈。
He had a vague and unfortable notion that he ought to make conversation with her, everyone else in the room seemed to be occupied in talk.
“你在织一件毛衣吗？”
“Are you making a sweater?”
“是的。” 这次她没有抬头。
“Yes.” This time she didn’t look up.
他有点泄气，但还是忍不住要挑战一下。他又试了一次。
He was a little discouraged, but couldn’t resist the challenge. He tried again.
“我想你很高兴回到芝加哥。”
“I suppose you’re glad to be back in Chicago.”
“是的。”
“Yes.”
“还是说你喜欢住在东方？”
“Or did you enjoy living in the Orient?”
“不喜欢。”
“No.”
海伦回来的时候，马龙刚刚承认失败。她换上了一件贴身的柔软羊毛连衣裙，颜色和成熟的小麦一模一样，还重新梳理了她那柔顺的淡金色头发。马龙热切地希望杰克现在能看她一眼，就一眼。
Malone had just admitted defeat when Helene returned. She had changed into a clinging, soft wool dress the exact color of ripe wheat, and rearranged her sleek, pale-gold hair. Malone wished fervently that Jake could get one look at her right now, just one.
和海伦一起走进房间的女孩被介绍为罗特斯?艾伦。马龙觉得她叫简会更好。她那光滑、梳理整齐的头发只是普通的发色，从脸上往后梳成一个厚重的发髻盘在脑后。她身上有种让人愉快但难以言表的平凡气质。她的五官通常被认为长相不错，皮肤也很健康；她中等身高，身材苗条，体型匀称。任何一个男人如果再看她一眼，很可能会接着看很多眼，而且是带着赞赏的目光。而关键就在于能否吸引人回过头来看第二看。
The girl who came into the room with Helene was introduced as Lotus Allen. She would have been better named Jane, Malone thought. Her smooth, well-brushed hair was just plain hair color and was drawn back from her face into a heavy coil on the back of her neck. There was something pleasantly and indescribably ordinary about her. She had what were usually described as good features and a healthy skin; she was of average height, with a trim, well-organized figure. Any man who did take a second look at her would probably take a great many more, and approving ones. It was the second look that would be the hurdle.
