There was something exciting about this town with its narrow muddy streets, lying among rolling red hills, something raw and crude that appealed to the rawness and crudeness underlying the fine veneer that Ellen and Mammy had given her.

这座街道狭窄而泥泞城市坐落在连绵红色丘陵中，它有某种令人兴奋之，某种生涩而粗糙东西，这与思嘉母亲和嬷嬷所赋予优美外表底下那种生涩而粗糙本质恰好彼此呼应，气味相投。
