ATTENDANT Have I unwittingly announced some evil tidings? Have I erred in thinking my news was good? MEDEA Thy news is as it is; I blame thee not. ATTENDANT Then why this downcast eye, these floods of tears? MEDEA Old friend, needs must I weep; for the gods and I with fell intent devised these schemes. ATTENDANT Be of good cheer; thou too of a surety shalt by thy sons yet be brought home again. MEDEA Ere that shall I bring others to their home, ah! woe is me ATTENDANT Thou art not the only mother from thy children reft.英文原著 · 《Medea》
The Janesville Public Library is so arranged that the desk attendant has almost no supervision over the Reading and Reference Rooms. The matter of discipline in those rooms was a source of considerable trouble until an attendant took charge there in the evenings. We find it necessary to have this attendant only during the winter months, when more High School students use the library than at other times.英文原著 · 《Library Work with Children》
ATTENDANT Thy children, lady, are from exile freed, and gladly did the royal bride accept thy gifts in her own hands, and so thy children made their peace with her. MEDEA Ah! ATTENDANT Why art so disquieted in thy prosperous hour? Why turnest thou thy cheek away, and hast no welcome for my glad news? MEDEA Ah me! ATTENDANT These groans but ill accord with the news I bring. MEDEA Ah me! once more I say.英文原著 · 《Medea》
"The old doctor had only to say that he did not control his assistants in the street; and his own mode of conducting the opposition, and his long life of honor, were there to correct this young woman's unworthy surmises, and she would have had to apologize for going too far on mere surmise. But, instead of that, he was so injudicious as to accuse her of foul language, and say, 'My attendant is a perfect gentleman; he would not be my attendant if he were not.'英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
Father Sergius noticed that the merchant seemed to be acting roughly, and in a feeble voice told the attendant that the people should not be driven away. He knew that they would be driven away all the same, and he much desired to be left alone and to rest, but he sent the attendant with that message to produce an impression.英文原著 · 《Father Sergius》
Question. "If such facts as Roberton's cases were before you, and the attendant had had ten, or even five fatal cases, or three, or two even, would you, or would you not, if insuring the life of the next patient to be taken care of by that attendant, expect an extra premium over that of an average case of childbirth?"英文原著 · 《Medical Essays》
