Was there a motive at work under this strange reluctance of Arthur's which had a sort of backstairs influence, not admitted to himself?

在亚瑟这种奇怪愿下，是否有某种动机在起作用，这种愿有一种幕后影响，而是他自己承认？

Her poor, little, drifting existence floated aimlessly between the kitchen and the lingerie, and all the groping tendrils of her curiosity were fastened about the doings of the backstairs.

她可怜、渺小、漂泊存在漫无目漂浮在厨房和内衣之间，她好奇所有摸索卷须都紧紧围绕着后楼梯活动。

" I will take you up the backstairs: but I must bandage your eyes first; for I never allow anybody to see those backstairs of mine" .

“会带你上后楼：但必须先包扎你眼睛；因允许任何人看到那些后楼”。

But, when he looked round him, there could be no doubt that he was safe up the backstairs, whatsoever they may be, which no man is going to tell you, for the plain reason that no man knows.

但是，当他环顾四周时，毫无疑问，他在后楼上是安全，管它们是什么，没有人会告诉你，原因很简单，没有人知道。

" But why do they want so to know about the backstairs" ? asked he, being a little frightened at the long words, and not understanding them the least; as, indeed, he was not meant to do, or you either.

“但他们什么这么想知道后楼事” ？ 他问道，对冗长话有点害怕， 一点也听懂。 事实上，他打算这样做， 或者你也是。
