普通高中课程标准实验教科书 英语选修8 Unit 4 Reading Task

　　H: Are you complaining of your treatment here?

　　E: No.

　　H: Has anyone been unkind to you? Colonel Pickering? Mrs Pearce? Me?

　　E: No.

　　H: Well, perhaps you're just tired.

　　E: I'm sorry, but I have to be careful. Are these clothes mine or Mrs Pearce's? I wouldn't like to be accused of stealing when I leave.

　　H: Leave? You're not leaving! To think I spent all my hard-earned knowledge on you!

　　Mrs Pearce comes in with a letter.

　　MP: A letter for you, Eliza.

　　E: For me? Oh! It's from Freddy.

　　H: That silly young man!

　　E: He's not so silly. (she reads) He loves me and wants to marry me.

　　H: A mad idea indeed!

　　E: That's just it, isn't it?

　　H: What do you mean, Eliza?

　　E: Nothing. I'm not blaming you. You see the difference between a lady and a flower girl is the way she's treated. I shall always be a flower girl to you. But to Colonel Pickering I'll always be a lady.

　　H: What, aren't my manners the same as Pickering's?

　　E: No. He treats a flower girl as if she were a duchess.

　　H: And I treat a duchess as if she were a flower girl. Is that correct?
