奥利弗来到底比斯的第一天,就在一位身份不明的埃及王子的坟墓里待了三个小时。他刚同珀韦瑟斯比的珀西瓦尔爵士一起来到埃及。奥利弗蹲在一个破旧的板条箱上,仔细临摹墙上的画。四周弥漫着发霉空气的味道,那根短粗蜡烛散发的烟比发出的光还多。奥利弗在这里画画不仅因为他喜欢绘画,还因为珀西瓦尔爵士是他妈妈的叔叔。[2]奥利弗的父亲几年前死了,母亲也早在他十岁时离世。珀西瓦尔爵士是他唯一的亲人。珀西瓦尔总是得偿所愿。
On the first day Oliver came to Thebes, he spent three hours in the tomb of an unidentified prince of Egypt. He had just come to Egypt with Sir Percival of Persephone. Oliver crouched on a worn crate and carefully copied the painting on the wall. The smell of moldy air was all around, and the stubby candle emitted more light than the light it emitted. Oliver draws here not only because he loves painting, but also because Sir Percival is his mom’s uncle. [2] Oliver’s father died a few years ago, and her mother died early as he was ten years old. Sir Percival is his only family member. Percival always got what he wanted.
