On that first morning of her new life April had spent half an hour arranging her limp blond hair in a high upsweep ,such as Dorothea sometimes wore. It was hard work ,much harder than it looked when Dorothea did it. 『As she pinned and repinned ,April told herself with righteous bitterness that Caroline was sure to make her take it all down again anyway ,and all her hard work would be for nothing.』 能请板友帮我翻译『 As she pinned..... 』内的意思吗??...很复杂不太懂 另外能形容一下文中 upsweep 跟 pin这两个词吗??还有 righteous bitterness是啥... 感激~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 前文是在叙述他们住的公寓... Caroline smiled her small prim smile. "Mr. Ross calls it the Petrified Birthday Cake" ,and I'm afraid that's a pretty good description. 『It must have been quite the thing when it was built back in the twenties.』 『It must have...』内的意思不懂...in the twenties 是指时间吗??20年?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 『It hadn't occured to April that Caroline had moved because of her--so she could have a bed room of her own.』 『What made Caroline think that April was going to be with her long enough for it to make any difference whether she had a room of her own or not?』 麻烦板友了...这两句都需要翻译... It had occured to的用法能解释一下吗?? 以上....谢谢^^ --
