我不记得你说的女佣一事,回过去又看了一遍她的生平,你可能指的是这一段:
“At the outbreak of World War II, Clarke was in the US vsiting her two brothers, and was unable to obtain a visa to return to Britain. She lived for a while with her brothers' families and then in 1942 took a position as a governess for a family in Connecticut.”
governess是家庭女教师,音乐之声中的马丽亚那种。康州是美国富翁爱待的地方,我想象她住在别墅里教孩子音乐。
吕贝卡一辈子坎坷在精神上,钱财不见得缺。初恋情人兼老师遗嘱即赠与她一把绝世名琴,她后来卖掉做奖学金,直到今天还在惠及后来的音乐人。
