And Scarlett, flying up the stairs with a hot brick wrapped in flannel, found Rhett patting her hand.

这时思嘉拿着一块用法兰绒包看的砖头飞跑上楼，发现瑞德正拍着她的手背在安慰她。

Scarlett felt the silent reinforcement and, as the hot brick at her feet warmed her, the hope which had flickered faintly on the cold ride home grew into a flame.

思嘉感觉到了无言的支持，而且脚头的那块热砖也使她暖和起来了，于是刚才在马车上挨冻时已隐约闪烁的那个希望，此刻便成了熊熊大火。

He carried her up the stairs to her bedroom and while the alarmed household fled hither and yon for hot bricks, blankets and whisky, he propped her on the pillows of her bed.

他把她抱上楼，送进卧室，把她放在床上躺下，这时全家人都吓得手忙脚乱，连忙弄来烧热的砖头、毯子和威士忌，让她完全苏醒过来。
