Life was hard for the old washman, but she managed to live independently.

Ⅱ. Key Phrases & Sentences
Our home had little contact with Gentiles. But there were the Gentile washwomen who came to the house to fetch our laundry. My story is about one of these.
我们家和非犹太人来往极少，但是非犹太人的洗衣妇要来我们家取走要洗的衣服，我要讲
得就是关于这些洗衣妇中的一个洗衣妇的故事。
Have contact with sb. 与某人联系
contact(v.) sb 和某人联系
注意和contract(n.) 合同的区别
She was a small woman, old and wrinkled. When she started washing for us, she was already past seventy. Most Jewish women of her age were sickly, weak, broken in body. but this washwoman, small and thin as she was, possessed a strength that came from generations of peasant ancestors. Mother would count out to her a bag of laundry that had accumulated over several weeks. She would lift the heavy bag, load it on her narrow shoulders, and carry it the long way home. It must have been a walk of an hour a half.
她是一个又老又小，满脸皱纹的女人。在开始为我们洗衣服的时候她已经七十多岁了。大
多数的犹太妇女在像他一样的年纪的时候身体已经很虚弱了，可是这位洗衣妇，尽管各自又瘦
又小，却具有从他们世代农民祖先那里继承来了强悍的体魄。母亲往往给她数出一包几个星期
积攒下来要洗的衣服。她会搬起那沉重的包袱，放在狭小的肩上，然后要扛很长的一段路才能
回到家。这段路恐怕要走一个半小时。
small and thin as she was是一个倒装句。as 在这里当尽管讲。
例如
尽管他是一个孩子，但是他的英语讲得非常好。
Child as he is, he is good at English.
形容词也可以倒装，例如
尽管他很年轻，但是他的英语学的很好。
Young as he is, he is good at English.
Count out: to count one by one 逐个数出
Count on/upon: to depend on/upon 指望
It must have 表示推测
She would bring the laundry back about two weeks later. My mother had never been so pleased with any washwoman. Every piece of laundry was as clean as polished silver. Every piece was neatly ironed. yet she charged no more than the others. She was a real find. Mother always had her money ready, because it was too far for the old woman to come a second time.
两个星期后她把洗好的衣服送回来。我的母亲从来没有对一个洗衣工如此的满意过，每一件衣服都洗得像打磨过的银子一样闪闪发光，熨烫的也都非常的平整。然而她的要价并不比别人高。我们可找到了一位了不起的洗衣工！因为她住的太远了，母亲一般在她来取衣服的时候就把给她的钱准备好。
Be pleased with: to be satisfied with 非常满意
charge……for sth 要价
charge sb with sth 为某事控告某人
Washing clothes was not easy in those days. The old woman had no tap where she lived, but had to bring in the water from a pump. For the clothes and bedclothes to come out so clean, they had to be scrubbed thoroughly in a washtub, rinsed with washing soda, soaked, boiled in an enormous pot, starched, then ironed. Every piece was handled ten times or more. And the drying! It had to be hung in the attic.
在那个时候洗衣服不是一件容易的事。她住的地方没有水龙头，她不得不从水泵取水。要是衣服和床单洗得这么干净，必须在洗衣盆里彻底的搓，在碱水了漂洗，然后浸泡，再在大锅里煮，还得浆，最后还要熨烫，每一件都要处理十多次。还有晾干这道工序呢！还要在阁楼上晾干。
She could have begged at the church door or entered a home for the poor and aged. But there was in her a certain pride and love of labor with many Gentiles have been blessed. The old woman did not want to become to a burden , and so bore her burden.
她本来是可以到教堂的门口去乞讨或是进一家穷苦老人收容所。可是她有许多非犹太人所具有的那种自尊心，那种对劳动的热爱。老妇人不愿意成为别人的累赘，因此自己承担起养活自己的责任。
but there was in her a certain pride and love of labor with many Gentiles have been blessed. 是一个倒装句
主语是a certain pride and love of labor with many Gentiles have been blessed could have done 应该做……但是没有做
bore 是过去式，原形是bear 承担
The woman had a son who was rich. I no longer remember what sort of business he had. he was ashamed of his mother, the washwoman, and never came to see her. Nor did he ever give her any money. The old woman told this without bitterness. One day the son was married. It seemed that he had a good match. The wedding took place in a church. The son had not invited the old mother to his wedding, but she went to the church and waited at the steps to see her son lead the "young lady" to the altar…
她有一个有钱的儿子，我不记得他的儿子时作什么生意的了。他羞耻与他的母亲是一个洗衣妇，并且从来没有来看过她，也不给她钱，老人在说起这些的时候没有一点怨言。一天，她
的儿子结婚了，他看起来找到了一个不错的妻子，在教堂举行了婚礼。她的儿子并没有邀请他参加他的婚礼，但是她仍然去了教堂，坐在教堂的台阶上看着她的儿子举行婚礼。
Be ashamed of: to be guilty of sth. 羞耻的，内疚的
take place 发生
The story of the faithless son left a deep impression on my mother. She talked about it for weeks and months. It was an insult not only to the old woman but also to all mothers. Mother would argue, "Dose it pay to make sacrifices for children? The mother uses up her last strength, and he does not even know the meaning of loyalty."
这个不孝的儿子的故事给我母亲留下了深刻的影像。她谈论了数个星期和数个月，这不仅是对他母亲的侮辱而且也侮辱了所有的母亲。
母亲说：为子女做出种种牺牲有什么好处呢？母亲使完了最后的力气，而儿子好像连什么叫忠诚都不知道。
make sacrifices for 为……作出牺牲
That winter was a harsh one. The streets were icy. No matter how much we heated our stove, the windows were covered with frost. The newspapers reported that people were dying of the cold. Coal became dear. The winter had become so severe that parents stopped sending children to school.
那年冬天十分寒冷。街上到处都是冰。不论我们把炉子烧得多么旺，玻璃窗上还是有一层霜。报纸报告了因寒冷死亡的人。煤炭缺乏。冬天是如此的寒冷，父母已经不送孩子去学校了。

On one such day the washwoman, now nearly eighty years old, came to our house. A good deal of laundry had accumulated during the past weeks. Mother gave her a pot of tea to warm herself, as well as some bread. The old woman sat on a kitchen chair trembling and shaking, and warmed her hands against the teapot. Her fingers were rough from work, and perhaps from arthritis, too. Her fingernails were strangely white. These hands spoke of the stubbornness of mankind, of the will to work not only as one's strength permits but beyond the limits of one's power.
The bag was big, bigger than usual. When the woman placed it on her shoulders, it covered her completely. At first she stayed, as though she were about to fall under the load. but an inner stubbornness seemed to call out: No, you may not fall. A donkey may permit himself to fall under his burden, but not a human being, the best of creation.
在这么寒冷的一天，现在已经将近八十岁的老妇人来给我们送衣服。在过去的几周已经积攒了大量要洗的衣服了。母亲给了她茶，让她温暖她自己，连同一些面包。老妇人坐在厨房里，
直打哆嗦，他双手紧贴着茶壶取暖。她的手指因为干活的缘故，或许还因为关节炎，变得粗糙，但她的指甲很白。这双手表明了人类顽强的精神，表现了人类要劳动的意志，不仅是只要还有一点力气就要劳动，而且是在超越自己力量极限时仍然要劳动。这个包裹要比平常的包过大，那老妇人把那个大包扛在肩上，大包把她的整个身躯都掩盖起来。开始他停住不动，好像那包衣服要把她压垮似的。可是好似一股倔劲对她喊道：不行，不许你倒下。一头驴可以让自己被压倒，但是人不能，认识上帝创造的最优秀成果。
These hands spoke of the stubbornness of mankind, or the will to work not only as one's strength permits but beyond the limits of one's power：These hands suggested/showed that man's strong will power enables him to do what he can and also pushes him to do what is actually too much for him physically.
speak of ：stand for代表
stubbornness : firmness 意志坚定
She disappeared, and mother sighed and prayed for her.
她还是走了，母亲叹息而且为她祈祷。
More than two months passed. The frost had gone, and then a new frost had come, a new wave of cold. One evening, while Mother was sitting near the oil lamp mending a shirt, the door opened and a small puff of steam, followed by a gigantic bag, entered the room. I ran toward the old woman and helped her unload her bag. She was even thinner now, more bent .Her head shook from side to side as though she were saying no. she could not utter a clear word, but mumbled something with her sunken mouth and pale lips.
两个月过去了，旧霜化了，结了新霜，又来了一次新的寒流。一天晚上，母亲坐在油灯下补衬衣，门开了，一个特大的袋子跟随的一小股蒸汽,进入了房间。我跑向老人，帮她卸载她的袋子。她更廋了，他的头两边晃来晃去，好似在说不。她无法发出一个清楚的字, 但是她用凹陷的嘴和苍白的唇低声说着什么。
load 装载
unload 卸载
as if /though 仿佛
After the old woman had recovered somewhat, she told us that she had been ill. Just what her illness was, I cannot remember. She had been so sick that someone called a doctor, and the doctor had sent for a priest. Someone had informed the son, and he had contributed money for a coffin and for the funeral. But God had not yet wanted to take this soul of pain to himself. She began to feel better, she became well, and as soon as she was able to stand on her feet once more, she began her washing. Not just ours, but the wash of several other, too.
在老人略微恢复之后,她告诉我们他曾经病了。到底她得的什么病，我已经不记得了。她很不舒服，有人去请了医生，医生请来了牧师。有人通知了他的儿子，他付钱买了一个棺材，但上帝不想把一个苦命的人找到自己身边，她慢慢的好了起来。他一旦能够再次下地活动，立刻就洗起衣服来了。它不仅仅洗我们的衣服，还给别人洗。
inform :tell sb formally
send for 派某人去找……
contribute…to : 贡献，有助于；投稿
e.g. Various factors contribute to his downfall.
She regularly contributes to the college magazine.
"I could not rest easy in my bed because of the wash," the old woman explained.
"the wash would not let me die."
"我不能休息，因为还有衣服要洗"，老人解释。"是洗衣服挽救了我。"
"With the help of God you will live to be a hundred and twenty," said my mother, and a blessing.
"所有上帝的保佑，您能活到120岁。"我母亲这样祝愿她。
"God forbid! What good would such a long life be? The work becomes harder and harder…my strength is leaving me…I do not want to be a burden on anyone!" The o ld woman crossed herself, and raised her eyes toward heaven.
但愿上帝别让我活那么大的岁数！活那么长有什么用？工作越来越吃力，身体越来越虚弱，我不想成为任何人的负担。老人在自己的胸前划了个十字，抬起头往天上看去。
a burden on s
b 某人的负担
cross (v) 生气此处是指在胸前划十字
Fortunately there was some money in the house and Mother counted out what she owed. Then she left, promising to return in a few weeks for a new load.
幸运地是这里有他的钱，母亲算了亏欠她的钱。然后他就走了，答应几星期后回来再取一批要洗的衣服。
But she never came back. The wash she had returned was her last effort on this earth. She had been driven by an indomitable will to return the property to its rightful owners, to fulfill the task she had undertaken.
她再也没有来。她还回来的衣服是她在世界上作的最后一次努力。她受着一种不屈不挠的意志的推动，要把衣物送还给他的主人，要完成它所承担的任务。
she had returned was her last effort on this earth. 定语从句，修饰wash
fulfill 完成任务
undertaken. 承担
And now at last her body, which had long been supported only by the force of honesty and duty, had fallen. Her soul passed into those spheres where all holy souls meet, regardless of the roles they played on this earth, in whatever tongue, of whatever religion. I cannot imagine paradise without this Gentile washwoman. I cannot even imagine a world where there is no reward for such effort.
现在长期以来一直有真诚和责任心支撑着的身体终于倒下了。它的灵魂进入了所有心底村结的人们最后聚会的地方，无论他们在人间曾经担当过什么角色，无论他们说的是什么语言，无论他们信仰什么宗教。
我想向天堂里坑定会有这位非犹太人洗衣妇的位置，我绝对相信如此的努力是会得到回报的。
fall behind sb.: 落后
fall behind with sth.: 拖欠
fall on sb./sth.:(任务、目光)落到
fall into sth.: 变成某种状态；养成（坏习惯）
Her soul passed into those spheres where all holy souls meet, regardless of the roles they played on this earth, in whatever tongue, of whatever religion.
When she died, her soul rose to that place where all good, virtuous people go whether they were big shots or plain washwomen, no matter what language they spoke or what religion they followed.
pass by: 时间流逝

So they broke the bad news gently. Her husband, Brently, was dead. 他们知道路易丝·马拉德的心脏不太好，所以把坏消息透露给她时非常委婉。她的丈夫布伦特里死 了 2“ There was a train accident, Louise, ” said her sister Josephine, quietly. 3Her husband's friend, Richards, brought the news, but Josephine told the story.
