《巴斯克威尔猎犬》 31一封信件(4)（在线收听）

"Yes, "said Dr Mortimer. "Laura married a painter called Lyons who came to paint pictures of the moor. But he was cruel to her, and after a while he left her.

“是的，”摩梯末医生讲道。“劳拉曾和一位名叫莱昂丝的、到沼地写生的画家结了婚。但是他对她很残暴，不日之后还离开了她。

Her father will not speak to her, because she married against his wishes. So her husband and her father have made her life very unhappy."

她父亲坚决和她不讲话了，因为她当时是违背父亲的意愿而结的婚。因此，她的丈夫和她的父亲已使她的生活非常不幸福。”

"How does she live? "I asked.

“那她怎么生活呢？”我问道。

"Several people who knew her sad story have helped her. Stapleton and Sir Charles gave her some money. I gave a little myself. She used the money to start a typewriting business."

“知晓她那悲惨故事的几个人帮助着她。斯台普顿与查尔斯爵士给过她一些钱。我本人也给过一点。她用这些钱开始干打字的营生。”

Dr Mortimer wanted to know why I was asking about Mrs Lyons. However, I preferred to keep the reason secret, and we talked about other things for the rest of the journey.

摩梯末医生想知道我问这些问题的目的何在。然而，我还是喜欢把其中的原因保密起来，我们在余下的旅途中便谈了些别的事情。

Only one other thing of interest happened that day. In the evening after dinner I had a few words with Barrymore alone. I asked him whether Selden had left the country.

那一天只发生了另一件有趣的事情。晚上，晚饭过后我私下与白瑞摩聊了几句。我问他塞尔登是否已经离开了这个国家。

"I don't know, sir, "Barrymore replied. "I hope he has gone. But I've not heard anything of him since I last left food and some clothes for him, and that was three days ago. "

“我不知道，先生，”白瑞摩应答道。“我希望他已走了。但是，自从上次给他送食物和衣物以来，我便再也没听到过关于他的情况。那已是三天之前的事了。”

"Did you see him then? "

“那一次你看到他了吗？”

"No, sir, but the food and clothes were gone when I next went that way, "Barrymore told me.

“没有，先生，但是当我再到那里去时，食物和衣物已经不见了。”白瑞摩告诉我。

"Then Selden was certainly there? "I asked.

“那么说，他一定还在那里吗？”我问道。

"I think so, sir, unless the other man took everything."

“我是这么认为的，先生，除非是另外那个人拿走了一切东西。”
