整整15个年头了,莉娜·施瓦茨小姐一直盼望着萨姆·希尔顿得到一份好工作,以便他俩能够完婚。施瓦茨小姐住在韦尔斯利街一所僻静的寄宿宿舍里,她是那儿唯一的女房客,其余七人都是男房客。女房东玛丽·麦克纳布太太本来不想收女房客的,因为这样可能使她的寄宿宿舍在邻里落下一个坏名声。不过,话说回来,施瓦茨小姐作为她的女房客已有好长时间了。施瓦茨小姐今年已经32岁,头发平直,鼻子有点翘,身体甚是单薄。 A full fifteen years, Miss Lena Schwartz has been looking forward to Sam Hilton get a good job, so that they can get married. Ms. Schwartz lives in a secluded boarding house on Wellesley Street, where she is the only female tenant and the remaining seven are male tenants. Mrs. Mary McNabb, a landlady, did not want to be a female tenant as this would have given her boarding house a bad name in her neighborhood. But, to be fair, Miss Schwartz has been around for a long time as her female tenant. Miss Schwartz is 32 years old this year, her hair is straight, her nose is slightly curled, her body is thin.
