范例1:Her arrival have just been announced by the faithful retainer.

范例2:She is always keeping better watch than any human being, who thus announced my arrival with her wearisome refrain.
她的警戒心比任何人都强,因此她用那令人生厌的重复句子报告我的到来。
2. raised one’s face (from):(从......)抬起脸
讲解:raise是“抬起,举起”的意思,它与我们的身体部位不同的搭配,那么对raise的翻译就跟着产生变化。例如:raise one’s hand(举手),raise one’s forehead(抬起额头),raise one’s eyes(抬起眼睛),raise one’s arm(抬起手臂)等等。文中说到的是raise her face from the pillow意思是“从枕头处抬起她的脸”。
范例1:Mr Bennet raised his eyes from his book as she entered, and fixed them on her face with a calm unconcern.
