“Do we leave that light burning?” said Lily as they took their coats offindoors.
“我们把那盏灯留着吗?” 莉莉在他们脱下外套进屋时问道。

“No,” said Prue, “not if every one’s in.” —
“不，” 普鲁说，”如果每个人都在的话就不留着了.” —

“Andrew,” she called back, “just put out the light in the hall.” —
“安德鲁，” 她朝后喊道，”把走廊里的灯熄灭.” —

One by one the lamps were all extinguished, except that Mr Carmichael,who liked to lie awake a little reading Virgil, kept his candle burningrather longer than the rest.
灯一盏一盏都熄灭了，只有卡迈克尔先生喜欢稍微留着一盏蜡烛读维吉尔，所以他的蜡烛比其他人燃烧得更久一些。
