快活的

That evening is one of my happiest recollections.

那天晚上是我记忆中最事情之一。

Mr. Phillips was a cheery man.

菲利浦先生是个生性人。

How, from a jolly, affectionate person she had become a harridan , constantly nagging at him to improve himself.

她是怎样地从一个，充满柔情女人变成一个凶恶悍妇，完了地向他抱怨，催他改善自己境遇，。

But he was very tentative, fastidiously so, letting Ruth set the pace of sprightliness and fancy, keeping up with her but never daring to go beyond her.

但是他却很，甚至过分，紧跟露丝定下和幻想尺度，不敢轻易越雷池一步。
