原文
The Harrison kitchen wore a very unfamiliar look to Anne. The floor was
indeed scrubbed to a wonderful pitch of purity and so was every article
of furniture in the room; the stove was polished until she could see her
face in it; the walls were whitewashed and the window panes sparkled
in the sunlight. By the table sat Mr. Harrison in his working clothes,
which on Friday had been noted for sundry rents and tatters but which
were now neatly patched and brushed. He was sprucely shaved and what
little hair he had was carefully trimmed.
