constancy 的过时形式,14世纪中叶, constaunce,意为“坚定不移,自持,沉着冷静”,源自14世纪的古法语 constance,意为“坚定不移,持久”,源自拉丁语 constantia,意为“坚定的立足,稳定,坚定,不变性; 性格坚定”,是意大利语 costanza 和西班牙语 constancia 的词源,是现在分词词干 constare “站在一起”(参见 constant(形容词))的抽象名词。自17世纪以来已经过时,除了作为一个女孩的名字(亲昵地称为 Connie),在美国的使用在1945年至1955年间略受欢迎。
1 Constance said, as if she couldn’t believe Mr. Benedict’s nerve.
2 Ignoring her injuries, Constance called into the surrounding woods, “Over here, he’s over here!”
3 Lady Constance could not turn her head because of the braiding, but she glanced sideways in Penelope’s direction.
4 “Lady Constance is fond of chocolates and flowers. She’s very young, very pretty, and a bit on the spoiled side, in my opinion.”
5 Lady Constance had appeared within moments of Mrs. Clarke’s departure, quite breathless, as if she had raced down the halls.
6 “Thanks, buddy. And wipe that grin off your face, Constance. You don’t always have to enjoy it so much, you know.”
7 “What a calm, efficient young mouse Cornflower is,” the Abbot remarked to Constance.
8 “She’ll be fine. Constance, dear, please climb down from the chair now. We must hurry.”
9 Dropping the lifeless thing, Constance plunged with a terrifying roar into a pack of weasels.
10 The force of the blow lifted the thief clean off his feet, and, before Constance could grab hold of him, he overbalanced and hurtled over the edge of the parapet with a horrible scream.
11 “I am not stubborn,” insisted Constance, who had overheard.
12 Lady Constance brightened at once and launched into an animated description of the house: the history, the architecture, the furnishings.
13 Constance remained sitting upon the floor, her face expressionless, the mighty paws clenching and unclenching.
14 Penelope had seen it twice before: on the employment contract she had signed upon her arrival at the house, and also on the note Lady Constance had given her with her salary.
15 “Lumahwoooooof Cassiopeia looked up at her with wide, entreating eyes. The howling jostled Penelope out of her thoughts. She realized Lady Constance was still waiting for an answer. “Of course, Lady Constance,” she said, flustered.
16 Constance knelt to cradle her old friend’s head, and Matthias gently clasped the wrinkled careworn paw.
17 Nora was determined that tragedy would impinge as little as possible Constance's life.
诺拉决定让悲剧尽量少影响康斯坦斯的生活.
18 And then, after much jostling and elbow-bumping and fumbling in the dark, Kate found her flashlight and switched it on, and Constance was gone.
19 Constance watched the crestfallen fox, then added as an afterthought: “And if you don’t like it, well, you can sling your brush back up the road.”
20 There was loud applause for the Abbot’s heartening words, but Constance was not convinced.
