但我觉得应该是喝了药酒死的
but it was probably by tincture! Really?
站住！
Stop!
你们的读书会叫什么名字？
What is the name of your club?
在那之后，我们别无选择
After that, we had no choice
只好真的成立 根西岛文学与土豆皮馅饼俱乐部
but to make the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society real.

but need only a candle to see new worlds unfold.
那便是我们成立社团的原因
That is what we found in our society.
但我不需告诉你这道理

I might be welcome at all.
