I thought them so similar I could not tell where the old servant (for such I now concluded her to be) saw the difference.
我认为她们彼此很像，看不出老仆人（这会儿我断定她是这种身份的人）所见的区别。
Both were fair complexioned and slenderly made; both possessed faces full of distinction and intelligence.

And how impossible did it appear to touch the inmates of this house with concern on my behalf;
这是是多么不可能呀，要打动房子里的人让她们来关心我，
to make them believe in the truth of my wants and woes -- to induce them to vouchsafe a rest for my wanderings!
相信我的需要和悲苦是真的，要说动她们为我的流浪提供一个歇息之处！
As I groped out the door, and knocked at it hesitatingly, I felt that last idea to be a mere chimera. Hannah opened.
我摸到门边，犹犹豫豫地敲了起来时，我觉得自己后一个念头不过是妄想。汉娜开了门。
"What do you want?" she inquired, in a voice of surprise, as she surveyed me by the light of the candle she held.
“你有什么事？”她一面借着手中的烛光打量我，一面带着惊异的声调问。
