我还能怎么做 继续留在英国吗？ What should I have done, remained in England?

是的 您说得很对 Yes, you are quite right.

我向您表示歉意 先生 My apology, sir.

震惊与悲痛让我无法表述得更具体了 Shock and grief restrained me from more adequate communication.

您完全有理由感到愤怒 You have every right to be provoked.

我已经答应带他去看了 尼古拉斯 I told him it would be all right, Nicholas.

是的 应该去 Yes, of course.

那也许您现在可以好好告诉我我妹妹是怎么去世的 Now perhaps you'll be good enough to tell me how my sister died.

她的笑容 她的声音 her smile, her voice.

她唱起歌就如天使一般 She sang like an angel.

她还会弹钢琴 And she could play the harpsichord
