Mrs. Flinders decided to have her portrait painted.
弗林德斯太太决定让人给她画一张像。
She told the artist, “Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets and a ruby pendant.”
她对画家说：“给我画上戴着钻石耳环、钻石项链、玉石手镯和红宝石坠环的像。”
“But you’re not wearing any of those things.”
“可那些东西你一样都没戴呀。”
“I know,” said Mrs Flinders. “ It’s in case I should die before my husband. I’m sure he’d remarry right away, and I want her to go nuts looking for the jewelry.”
“我知道，”弗林德斯太太说，“万一我死在丈夫之前，我相信他肯定会马上再婚的，我要让那女人发疯似地寻找珠宝。”
