diminutive小的, 微小的Fenner
He always remained lame跛腳的, 瘸的, for the great tendons had been severed; but I think the greatest lameness was in his soul. His thinking processes, once so phlegmatic and logical, had become ineffaceably scarred
He changed his business, but something always preyed upon him.
His drinking, of course, only aggravated what it was meant to alleviate.

He always remained lame跛腳的, 瘸的, for the great tendons had been severed; but I think the greatest lameness was in his soul. His thinking processes, once so phlegmatic and logical, had become ineffaceably scarred

His drinking, of course, only aggravated what it was meant to alleviate.

unlike her clothing, the woman herself wasn't lovely at all. Her teeth protruded so badly that her lips didn't quite cover them.
you may think me cruel to describe her so harshly
while i tried my best to soothe myself with these thoughts
Back then, around 1930
I worked up my courage and said to Mr. Bekku, "Won't you please tell us where we're going?"

The Japanese man, as a rule, feel about a woman's neck and throat the same way that men in the West might feel about a woman's legs. This is why geisha wear the collars of their kimono so low in the back that the first few bumps of the spine are visible.
I felt miserable with envy, watching her
Hatsumomo had the power to make my life miserable in any way she wanted
The collection of kimono was probably twice as valuable as the entire villages of Yoroido and Senzuru put together.
She may have been as cruel as a spider, but she was more lovely chewing on her fingernail than most geisha looked posing for a photograph

My hands were trembling in my lap as I knelt at the table, probably from the force of trying to keep all my terrible thoughts from rising to the surface of my mind.
at once my mind felt like a broken vase that would not stand. I was lost even within the room around me.
Mr. Tanaka had brought me nothing but suffering; but he also changed my horizons forever.
I was living only half in Gion; the other half of me lived in my dreams of going home. This is why dreams can be such dangerous things: tjeu smolder on like a fire does, and sometimes consume us comletely.

I'd turned around to look in a different direction, so that i no longer faced backward toward the past, but forward toward the future.

I saw life in all its noisy excitement passing me by
He was looking at me as a musician might look at his instrument just before he begins to play, with understanding and mastery
I'm sure my words carried none of fullness of my feelings
I mean to say that if you have experienced an evening more exciting than any in your life, you're sad to see it end; and yet you still feel grateful that it happened.
Now I understood the thing I'd overlooked; the point wasn't to become a geisha, but to be one. To become a geisha...well, that was hardly a purpose in life. But to be a geisha... i could see it now as a stepping stone to something else.

Heian period (The Heian period (平安時代) is the last division of classical Japanese history, running from 794 to 1185.[1] The period is named after the capital city of Heian-kyō, or modern Kyōto. It is the period in Japanese history when Buddhism, Taoism and other Chinese influences were at their height. The Heian period is also considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court and noted for its art, especially poetry and literature. Although the Imperial House of Japan had power on the surface, the real power was in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful aristocratic family who had intermarried with the imperial family. Many emperors actually had mothers from the Fujiwara family.[2] Heian (平安?) means "peace and tranquility" in Japanese.)

It's been more than two years now. I've waited so patiently in the hopes that some opportunity might come along.
Water never waits. It changes shape and flows around things, and finds the secret paths no one else has thought about.
I'm sure you're a clever girl, Chiyo, but I don't think that was your cleverest moment. Those of us with water in our personalities don't pick where we'll flow to. All we can do is flow where the landscape of our lives carries us.
I'd certainly learned a great many lessons from life already; but I knew nothing at all about patience.
I worked so hard to overhear Mameha and Mother that it wouldn't have surprised me if i had strained all the muscles in my ears.

It's heartbreaking, the choices people are forced to make in these times.

She gave me a pitiful glance
When I say successful, i mean a geisha who has earned her independence.
danna
A true geisha will never soil her reputation by making herself avaliable to men on a nightly basis.
but the real money in Gion gomes from having a danna
In damaging her relationship with the mistress, Hatsumomo had hurt no one so much as herself
In most cases the bond will probably last six monts or so, perhaps longer --- because of course, men tire so quickly of the same thing.
You may have heard something about the famous geisha Mametsuki, who had an affair with the prime minister of Japan shortly before World War I and casued something of a scandal.

she understood well that she owed her exalted position to the people who thought highly of her
A girl with a stunning profile will never accidentally give a man the wrong message with it
Then as she neared me her eyes rose to meet mine for just an instant, and very quickly looked away. I must say, i felt an electric jolt; if i'd been a man, i would have thought she'd given herself over very briefly to strong feelings she was struggling to hide.

Now i had to try walking all around Gion in the shoes we call okobo. They're quite tall and made of wood, with lovely lacquered thongs to hold the foot in place.
and now at last my turn had come
So i swallowed my real feelings and followed her up the street.
She always has the best of everything, you know. Just look at her and you can tell
Mameha made a mock-angry face
I wasn't being prim (裝作淑女模樣)

I was finding it difficult to believe that these men --- who had paid so considerably to be there, among women wrapped in beautiful, expensive robes - really wanted to hear the same sorts of stories children back in the pond in Yoroido might have told.

But to see her swallowing so nervously, I could tell she was lying.
But when i thought of its real purpose as I listened to his stories, it ceased to be beautiful at all and became something monstrous instead.
Mameha was very resourceful
beauty itself struck me as a kind of painful melancholy
Hatsumomo and Pumpkin will noth pay dearly for this apprentice's award
who every day sinks deeper and deeper into a pit
I turned away from the Chairman with as much difficulty as a hungry child turns away from a plate of food.
it was one of my first efforts at joking with a man
to my astonishment
she's just been thrown off-balance herself. And she won't even find it out until it's too late.
He may just prove to be your rescuer.
I must admit i felt a sickness inside when i heard this. If i was to have a rescuer, i wanted it to be the Chairman and no one else.
But in a moment I understood that she was trying to "lance the boil," as she'd put it.
I went to settle myslef near him and tried to show all the signs of a girl enchanted. Whenever he laughed, for example, i flicked my eyes toward him as though i couldn't resist.
She was captivatingly beautiful
I'd planned to reach into his lap and reclaim it with girlish embarrassment.
It turned out that shortly after we'd visited him, his cat had been bitten by a badger 【動】獾[C]and within a few days was dead from infection

When a man takes a mistress, he doesn't turn around and divorce his wife.
Things went along smoothly with the Doctor, until one afternoon in the middle of March when i did something foolish and very nearly ruined all Mameha's careful planning.
I kept my face like a mask, and felt pleased with myself that i'd given nothing away.
Hatsumomo had outsmarted us somehow.
I'm sure Mameha felt as shocked as i did, but she didn't show it.
The Shirae's gloomy atmosphere seemed as thick as the water in a pond that night.

But he determined to chaff戲弄, 逗弄Fix, when he had the chance, with mysterious allusions
But Passepartout persisted in chaffing him by asking him if he made much by his present occupation.
He was passing methodically in his orbit around the world, regardless of the lesser stars which gravitated around him.

Phileas Fogg gazed at the tempestuous sea, which seemed to be
struggling especially to delay him, with his habitual tranquillity.
it seemed as if the storm were a part of his programme, and had been foreseen
It mattered not that they made him sea-sick--he made no account of this
inconvenience; and, whilst his body was writhing under their effects,
his spirit bounded with hopeful exultation.
Passepartout was enraged beyond expression by the unpropitious不吉利的; 惡運的, 不順遂的; 不宜的weather.
Everything had gone so well till now! Earth and sea had seemed to be at his master's service; steamers and railways obeyed him; wind and steam united to speed his journey. Had the hour of adversity come?
he longed to lash the obstinate sea into obedience.
"Ought she not to have gone yesterday?"
"Yes, sir; but they had to repair one of her boilers, and so her
departure was postponed till to-morrow."
"Thank you," returned Mr. Fogg, descending mathematically to the saloon.
Passepartout clasped the pilot's hand and shook it heartily in his
delight, exclaiming, "Pilot, you are the best of good fellows!"
The pilot probably does not know to this day why his responses won him
this enthusiastic greeting. He remounted the bridge, and guided the
steamer through the flotilla of junks, tankas, and fishing boats which
crowd the harbour of Hong Kong.
At one o'clock the Rangoon was at the quay, and the passengers were
going ashore.
Chance had strangely favoured Phileas Fogg, for had not the Carnatic
been forced to lie over for repairing her boilers, she would have left
on the 6th of November, and the passengers for Japan would have been
obliged to await for a week the sailing of the next steamer. Mr. Fogg
was, it is true, twenty-four hours behind his time; but this could not
seriously imperil the remainder of his tour.
The steamer which crossed the Pacific from Yokohama to San Francisco
made a direct connection with that from Hong Kong, and it could not
sail until the latter reached Yokohama; and if Mr. Fogg was twenty-four
hours late on reaching Yokohama, this time would no doubt be easily
regained in the voyage of twenty-two days across the Pacific. He found
himself, then, about twenty-four hours behind-hand, thirty-five days
after leaving London.
The Carnatic was announced to leave Hong Kong at five the next morning.
Mr. Fogg had sixteen hours in which to attend to his business there,
which was to deposit Aouda safely with her wealthy relative.
On landing, he conducted her to a palanquin, in which they repaired to
the Club Hotel. A room was engaged for the young woman, and Mr. Fogg,
after seeing that she wanted for nothing, set out in search of her
cousin Jeejeeh. He instructed Passepartout to remain at the hotel
until his return, that Aouda might not be left entirely alone.
Mr. Fogg repaired to the Exchange, where, he did not doubt, every one
would know so wealthy and considerable a personage as the Parsee
merchant. Meeting a broker, he made the inquiry, to learn that Jeejeeh
had left China two years before, and, retiring from business with an
immense fortune, had taken up his residence in Europe--in Holland the
broker thought, with the merchants of which country he had principally
traded. Phileas Fogg returned to the hotel, begged a moment's
conversation with Aouda, and without more ado, apprised her that
Jeejeeh was no longer at Hong Kong, but probably in Holland.
Aouda at first said nothing. She passed her hand across her forehead,
and reflected a few moments. Then, in her sweet, soft voice, she said:
"What ought I to do, Mr. Fogg?"
"It is very simple," responded the gentleman. "Go on to Europe."
"But I cannot intrude--"
"You do not intrude, nor do you in the least embarrass my project.
Passepartout!"
"Monsieur."
"Go to the Carnatic, and engage three cabins."
Passepartout, delighted that the young woman, who was very gracious to
him, was going to continue the journey with them, went off at a brisk
gait to obey his master's order.
Hong Kong is an island which came into the possession of the English by
the Treaty of Nankin, after the war of 1842; and the colonising genius
of the English has created upon it an important city and an excellent
port. The island is situated at the mouth of the Canton River, and is
separated by about sixty miles from the Portuguese town of Macao, on
the opposite coast. Hong Kong has beaten Macao in the struggle for the
Chinese trade, and now the greater part of the transportation of
Chinese goods finds its depot at the former place. Docks, hospitals,
wharves, a Gothic cathedral, a government house, macadamised streets,
give to Hong Kong the appearance of a town in Kent or Surrey
transferred by some strange magic to the antipodes.

"Mr. Fogg's wager," resumed Fix, "is only a pretext, of which you and the gentlemen of the Reform are dupes欺騙, 詐騙, 愚弄 . He had a motive for securing your innocent complicity."
You must help me to keep him here in Hong Kong--"
I will never betray him--not for all the gold in the world. I come

But he determined to chaff戲弄, 逗弄Fix, when he had the chance, with mysterious allusions
But Passepartout persisted in chaffing him by asking him if he made much by his present occupation.

Phileas Fogg gazed at the tempestuous sea, which seemed to be
struggling especially to delay him, with his habitual tranquillity.
it seemed as if the storm were a part of his programme, and had been foreseen
It mattered not that they made him sea-sick--he made no account of this
inconvenience; and, whilst his body was writhing under their effects,
his spirit bounded with hopeful exultation.
Passepartout was enraged beyond expression by the unpropitious不吉利的; 惡運的, 不順遂的; 不宜的weather.
Everything had gone so well till now! Earth and sea had seemed to be at his master's service; steamers and railways obeyed him; wind and steam united to speed his journey. Had the hour of adversity come?
he longed to lash the obstinate sea into obedience.
"Ought she not to have gone yesterday?"
"Yes, sir; but they had to repair one of her boilers, and so her
departure was postponed till to-morrow."
"Thank you," returned Mr. Fogg, descending mathematically to the saloon.
Passepartout clasped the pilot's hand and shook it heartily in his
delight, exclaiming, "Pilot, you are the best of good fellows!"
The pilot probably does not know to this day why his responses won him
this enthusiastic greeting. He remounted the bridge, and guided the
steamer through the flotilla of junks, tankas, and fishing boats which
crowd the harbour of Hong Kong.
At one o'clock the Rangoon was at the quay, and the passengers were
going ashore.
Chance had strangely favoured Phileas Fogg, for had not the Carnatic
been forced to lie over for repairing her boilers, she would have left
on the 6th of November, and the passengers for Japan would have been
obliged to await for a week the sailing of the next steamer. Mr. Fogg
was, it is true, twenty-four hours behind his time; but this could not
seriously imperil the remainder of his tour.
The steamer which crossed the Pacific from Yokohama to San Francisco
made a direct connection with that from Hong Kong, and it could not
sail until the latter reached Yokohama; and if Mr. Fogg was twenty-four
hours late on reaching Yokohama, this time would no doubt be easily
regained in the voyage of twenty-two days across the Pacific. He found
himself, then, about twenty-four hours behind-hand, thirty-five days
after leaving London.
The Carnatic was announced to leave Hong Kong at five the next morning.
Mr. Fogg had sixteen hours in which to attend to his business there,
which was to deposit Aouda safely with her wealthy relative.
On landing, he conducted her to a palanquin, in which they repaired to
the Club Hotel. A room was engaged for the young woman, and Mr. Fogg,
after seeing that she wanted for nothing, set out in search of her
cousin Jeejeeh. He instructed Passepartout to remain at the hotel
until his return, that Aouda might not be left entirely alone.
Mr. Fogg repaired to the Exchange, where, he did not doubt, every one
would know so wealthy and considerable a personage as the Parsee
merchant. Meeting a broker, he made the inquiry, to learn that Jeejeeh
had left China two years before, and, retiring from business with an
immense fortune, had taken up his residence in Europe--in Holland the
broker thought, with the merchants of which country he had principally
traded. Phileas Fogg returned to the hotel, begged a moment's
conversation with Aouda, and without more ado, apprised her that
Jeejeeh was no longer at Hong Kong, but probably in Holland.
Aouda at first said nothing. She passed her hand across her forehead,
and reflected a few moments. Then, in her sweet, soft voice, she said:
"What ought I to do, Mr. Fogg?"
"It is very simple," responded the gentleman. "Go on to Europe."
"But I cannot intrude--"
"You do not intrude, nor do you in the least embarrass my project.
Passepartout!"
"Monsieur."
"Go to the Carnatic, and engage three cabins."
Passepartout, delighted that the young woman, who was very gracious to
him, was going to continue the journey with them, went off at a brisk
gait to obey his master's order.
Hong Kong is an island which came into the possession of the English by
the Treaty of Nankin, after the war of 1842; and the colonising genius
of the English has created upon it an important city and an excellent
port. The island is situated at the mouth of the Canton River, and is
separated by about sixty miles from the Portuguese town of Macao, on
the opposite coast. Hong Kong has beaten Macao in the struggle for the
Chinese trade, and now the greater part of the transportation of
Chinese goods finds its depot at the former place. Docks, hospitals,
wharves, a Gothic cathedral, a government house, macadamised streets,
give to Hong Kong the appearance of a town in Kent or Surrey
transferred by some strange magic to the antipodes.

"Bah!" retorted Passepartout, with an air of raillery開玩笑; 逗趣.
"Mr. Fogg's wager," resumed Fix, "is only a pretext, of which you and the gentlemen of the Reform are dupes欺騙, 詐騙, 愚弄 . He had a motive for securing your innocent complicity."
You must help me to keep him here in Hong Kong--"
I will never betray him--not for all the gold in the world. I come

"What!" responded Fix, feigning裝作, 假裝surprise. "Is he not with you?"

proffering奉獻their services to go before horses in carriages

its teeth were chattering喋喋不休, 嘮叨 in its frozen head up there.
lighted a great fire in a brazier火盆

his lean wife and the baby sallied出擊out to buy the beef
nose, gnawed咬 and mumbled抿著咀嚼 by the hungry cold as bones are gnawed by dogs
to regale娛樂 him witha Christmas carol:
dismounted from his stool
tacitly心照不宣地 admitted the fact to the expectant clerk in the Tank
walked out with a growl咆哮
comforter 長的毛織圍巾dangling below his waist (for he
boasted no great-coat)
