【June·话题】Dickon’s glance at him

只看楼主收藏回复

【June·话题】Dickon’s glance at him was delicately cautious. Neither he nor Mary had ever asked if anything was the matter with his legs.
“For sure tha’ will,” he said stoutly. “Tha—tha’s got legs o’ thine own, same as other folks!”
Mary was rather frightened until she heard Colin’s answer.
“Nothing really ails them,” he said, “but they are so thin and weak. They shake so that I’m afraid to try to stand on them.”
Both Mary and Dickon drew a relieved breath.
“When tha’ stops bein’ afraid tha’lt stand on ‘em,” Dickon said with renewed cheer. “An’ tha’lt stop bein’ afraid in a bit.”
“I shall?” said Colin, and he lay still as if he were wondering about things.
They were really very quiet for a little while. The sun was dropping lower. It was that hour when everything stills itself, and they really had had a busy and exciting afternoon. Colin looked as if he were resting luxuriously. Even the creatures had ceased moving about and had drawn together and were resting near them. Soot had perched on a low branch and drawn up one leg and dropped the gray film drowsily over his eyes. Mary privately thought he looked as if he might snore in a minute.
“When tha’ stops bein’ afraid tha’lt stand on ‘em,” Dickon said with renewed cheer. “An’ tha’lt stop bein’ afraid in a bit.”这段话用标准英语来说怎么说,这段话使用了英国约克郡的方言,比如tha'lt stop bein'在标准英语里是什么单词。

    很多英文小说简写,,特别是对话里面
    这里“ta”是“you”,“‘o’”是“of”,“‘em’”是them,“thine”是"your", "tha’lt"是“ you shalt”也就是“you shall”, "‘bein"是“being”

      I don’t know by just reading that line alone.
      I have to read the entire dialogue to understand what he’s saying there.
      He’s trying to convince the other two characters that his legs are fine and he is not “ailed” by them. He also says when he is not nervous and afraid he can stand on his legs just fine.
