speaking in a trembling voice Explanation: Typo, it is "颤着声音慢慢地说", speaking slowly in a trembling voice. 荪甫不耐烦似的说。让两位小姐围在老太爷旁边，荪甫和竹斋，阿萱就先走到码头上。一八八九号的车子开到了，藤椅子也上了岸，吴老太爷也被扶进汽车里坐定了，二小姐——杜姑太太跟着便坐在老太爷旁边。本来还是闭着眼睛的吴老太爷被二小姐身上的香气一刺激，便睁开眼来看一下，颤着声音慢慢地说： http://www.dushu369.com/zhongguomingzhu/HTML/91406.html 颤(traditional Chinese, 顫): tremble; vibrate. 颜(traditional Chinese, 顏): countenance; color. |
