It took three days for Beloved to notice the orange patches in the darkness of the quilt. Denver waspleased because it kept her patient awake longer. She seemed totally taken with those faded scrapsof orange, even made the effort to lean on her elbow and stroke them. An effort that quicklyexhausted her, so Denver rearranged the quilt so its cheeriest part was in the sick girl's sight line.寵兒花了三天時(shí)間才注意到暗色被子上的橙色補(bǔ)丁。丹芙非常滿(mǎn)意，因?yàn)檫@使她的病人醒的時(shí)間更長(zhǎng)。她似乎完全被那褪了色的橙紅色碎片吸引住了，甚至費(fèi)勁地靠胳膊肘支撐著身體，去撫摩它們。這很快使她疲憊不堪，于是丹芙重新安排好被子，讓它最有活力的那部分留在病姑娘的視線(xiàn)里。
Patience, something Denver had never known, overtook her. As long as her mother did notinterfere, she was a model of compassion, turning waspish, though, when Sethe tried to help.耐心，這丹芙聞所未聞的東西，占據(jù)了她。只要她的媽媽不來(lái)干涉，她就是個(gè)同情體貼的楷模，可是一旦塞絲企圖幫點(diǎn)忙，她就立即變得暴躁起來(lái)。

"I think cholera people puke all the time."“我以為得霍亂的人什么時(shí)候都在嘔吐?！?BR> "That's even more reason, ain't it?"“那不吃就更有理由了，對(duì)吧？”
