“Oh! what a thing to think of!” she began laughing in spite of herself, partly, because under the sensation of that swinging canopy she could not control it, partly as a small protection against being shocked. She supposed she really ought to have been shocked at something like that, but in an odd way the swinging of the canopy lifted the sensation of shock and bore it far away.

● in spite of herself：自己按捺不住。她的笑有两个原因：一是摇摇摆摆得自己不能控制（it=laughing）了；二是拿笑来作为小小的掩护，免得自己受惊（shocked）。男孩子胸口的毛，拔下来藏起，叫女孩子找，这事多么骇人听闻！这位太太爱护女儿，无微不至，更应该不能忍受了。

Under the small, thrilling sensation of the swinging canopy she was laughing quite openly now, not so much amused as in sheer exhilaration. Higher and higher, she thought, all the time higher and higher, as she had done when a child, until you were one, as it were, with the sky, until….

● thrilling：钻到汗毛孔里去似的（不一定指恐惧，快乐也可以使人起一种震栗之感）。
1705002917
1705002918
● not so much… as…与其说是前者，不如说是后者。与其说她看见了那人神里神经觉得好笑（amused：引以为乐），不如说她是完完全全（sheer）心里高兴（exhilaration）才开口大笑的。

He turned in time to see her rolling down her stocking, slipping it swiftly over her foot.

“Oh! no, Mrs. Fairfax. I don’t really—”
1705002929
1705002930
“Go on!” she said. “Take it. Start running. Get there—”
1705002931
1705002932
The sudden motion of his reluctant body as he got up, taking shoe and stocking with him, gave the canopy its final swing.
