《简·爱》 Chapter 37 第三十七章(12)(在线收听) |
"I thought you would be revolted, Jane, when you saw my arm, and my cicatrised visage." “我想你看到我的胳膊和疤痕累累的面孔时会觉得厌恶的。” "Did you? Don't tell me so -- lest I should say something disparaging to your judgment. “你这样想的吗?别同我说这话——不然我会对你的判断说出不恭的话来。 Now, let me leave you an instant, to make a better fire, and have the hearth swept up. 好吧,让我走开一会儿,把火生得旺些,把壁炉清扫一下。 Can you tell when there is a good fire?" 火旺的时候,你能辨得出来吗?” "Yes; with the right eye I see a glow -- a ruddy haze." “能,右眼能看到红光——一阵红红的烟雾。” "And you see the candles?" “你看得见蜡烛光吗?” "Very dimly -- each is a luminous cloud." “非常模糊——每根蜡烛只是一团发亮的雾。” "Can you see me?" “你能看见我吗?” "No, my fairy: but I am only too thankful to hear and feel you." “不行,我的天使。能够听见你,摸到你已经是够幸运了。” "When do you take supper?" “你什么时候吃晚饭?” "I never take supper." “我从来不吃晚饭。” "But you shall have some to-night. “不过今晚你得吃一点。 I am hungry: so are you, I daresay, only you forget." 我饿了,我想你也一样,不过是忘了罢了。” Summoning Mary, I soon had the room in more cheerful order: I prepared him, likewise, a comfortable repast. 我把玛丽叫了进来,让她很快把房间收拾得更加令人振奋,同时也为他准备了一顿舒心的晚宴。 My spirits were excited, and with pleasure and ease I talked to him during supper, and for a long time after. 我的心情也激动起来,晚餐时及晚餐后同他愉快而自在地谈了很久。 There was no harassing restraint, no repressing of glee and vivacity with him; 跟他在一起,不存在那种折磨人的自我克制,不需要把欢快活跃的情绪压下去。 for with him I was at perfect ease, because I knew I suited him; 同他相处,我无拘无束,因为我知道自己与他很相称。 all I said or did seemed either to console or revive him. 我的一切言行似乎都抚慰着他,给他以新的生命。 Delightful consciousness! 多么愉快的感觉呀! It brought to life and light my whole nature: in his presence I thoroughly lived; and he lived in mine. 它唤醒了我全部天性,使它灼灼生辉。在他面前我才尽情地生活着,同样,在我面前,他才尽情地生活着。 Blind as he was, smiles played over his face, joy dawned on his forehead: his lineaments softened and warmed. 尽管他瞎了,他脸上还是浮起了笑容,额头映出了欢快,面部表情温柔而激动。 |
