原文：
Edward's sister had no hours of visitation; she came and went as she pleased. Charlie was putty in her capable hands.
試譯：
愛德華的妹妹來看我的話，就沒有個固定的時間；何時來何時走全憑她心意。查理對此也只能聽之任之。
出處：
The twilight saga: Eclipse-chapter 1. 《暮光之城》第三部《月食》-第一章
釋疑：
putty in sb's hands是一條習語，意為：easily controlled or influenced by another person （像）某人手中的麵團；任某人擺布；易受某人的影響。舉個例子：
She'll persuade him. He's likeputty in her hands. 她會說服他的。他就像她手裡的麵團一樣。
