Because you are within my reach again, I said, taking her hand. She did not withdraw it.

我握住了她的手，她没有缩回去。我道：因为我敢于张口了。

Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach.

然而，随着减少浪费的几个月继续进行， 我做了我力所能及的事情。

Or if I was doomed to perish with hunger, to whose pity was I indebted for provisions placed within my reach?

或者，如果我注定要饿死， 那么我为触手可及的食物而感激谁的怜悯？

The grated door was within my reach: I lifted it without difficulty; Probably it had been left unclosed to facilitate my quitting the dungeon.

铁栅栏门就在我够得着的地方：我毫不费力地抬起它；可能它没有关闭是为了方便我离开地牢。
