英语听力：多里安·格雷的画像 11

　　11

　　And so the years passed．

　　But time did² not touch the face of Dorian Gray³．That wonderful beauty⁴—the beauty that Basil Hallward had⁵ painted—never left him．He enjoyed the life⁶ of a rich and fashionable⁷ young man． He studied art and music， and filled⁸ his house with beautiful things from every corner of the world．But his search⁹ for pleasure¹⁰ did not stop there． He became¹¹ hungry for evil¹³ pleasures¹⁴．He became more and more in love with the beauty of his face，more and more interested¹⁵ in the ugliness of his soul¹⁶．

　　After a while¹⁷ strange¹⁸ stories were heard about him—stories of a secret¹⁹， more dangerous life． But when people looked at that young and good-looking²⁰ face， they could²¹ not believe²² the evil stories．And they still came¹² to the famous²³ dinners at his house，where the food，and the music，and the conversation²⁴ were the best in London．

　　But behind the locked²⁵ door at the top of the house， the picture of Dorian Gray grew older every year．The terrible²⁶ face showed the dark²⁷ secrets²⁸ of his life．The heavy mouth， the yellow skin，the cruel²⁹ eyes—these told the real³⁰ story．Again and again，Dorian Gray went secretly³¹ to the room and looked first at the ugly and terrible face in the picture，then at the beautiful young face that laughed back at him from the mirror．

　　After his twenty-fifth year， the stories about him became worse³²．He was³³ sometimes away from home for several³⁴ days；he was seen³⁵ fighting³⁶ with foreign³⁷ sailors³⁸ in bars；he was friendly³⁹ with thieves⁴⁰．And in the houses of fashionable people，men sometimes turned away when he entered⁴¹ a room．Women's faces sometimes went white when they heard his name．

　　But many people only laughed at these stories．Dorian Gray was still a very rich and fashionable man，and the dinners at his house were excellent⁴²．People agreed⁴³ with Lord⁴⁴ Henry，who once said，in his amusing⁴⁵ way，that a good dinner was more important⁴⁶ than a good life．

　　As¹ the months and years passed， Dorian Gray grew more and more afraid of the picture． He both hated⁴⁷ it and loved it，and he became more and more afraid that someone⁴⁸ would⁴⁹ discover⁵⁰ his secret．For weeks he tried not to go near it，but he could not stay away from it for long．Sometimes， when he was staying in friends'houses， he suddenly⁵¹ left and hurried back to London． He wanted to be sure that the room was still locked and the picture was still safe． At one time he used⁵² to spend winters with Lord Henry in a little house in Algiers， but now he no longer travelled⁵³ outside England．

　　His fear⁵⁴ grew stronger every year，and as time passed，the face in the picture grew slowly⁵⁵ more terrible．

　　时间窃贼

　　“我将永远年轻、强壮，永远漂亮。”

　　11

　　于是几年过去了。

　　然而时间并未损及多里安·格雷的脸。那极好的美貌——巴兹尔·霍尔沃德描绘过的美貌——从没离开过他。他享受着一个富有、时髦的年轻人的生活。他研究艺术和音乐，在房间里摆满了来自世界各个角落的漂亮东西。但是他对享乐的追求并没停止在这儿，他如饥似渴地追求邪恶的享乐。他越来越迷恋自己美貌的面孔，越来越对自己丑陋的灵魂感兴趣。

　　曾经一度能听到的关于他的古怪的故事——一个神秘、更加危险的生活的故事。但当人们看着那张年轻好看的脸时，他们就不能相信那些邪恶的故事。于是他们仍来这家参加闻名的晚宴。在这儿，食物、音乐和谈话都是伦敦最好的。

　　可是在房子顶部锁着的门后，多里安·格雷的画像在逐年变老。可怕的面孔揭示了他生活里阴暗的秘密。严厉的嘴，发黄的皮肤，残酷的眼睛——这些都讲述了真实的故事。一次又一次，多里安·格雷偷偷地跑到这个房间，先看画像中丑陋可怕的脸，然后再看镜子里从后面对他微笑的漂亮年轻的面孔。

　　在他25岁以后，他的故事变得更糟。他有时离家好几天；有人看见他在酒吧里同外国水手打架；他和小偷是朋友。在时髦人物的房子里，当他进来时男人们有时会转过脸去。女人们在听见他的名字时脸有时会变白。

　　但是许多人只是嘲笑这些传说。多里安·格雷仍是一个非常富有和时髦的男人，他家的晚宴仍很棒。人们赞同亨利勋爵一次有趣的讲话，即重要的是丰盛的晚宴而不是正人君子的生活。

　　月复一月，年复一年，多里安·格雷越来越惧怕这幅画像。他既恨它又爱它，于是他更害怕有人会发现他的秘密。有几个星期他尽量不走近它，但离开它时间长了也不行。有时候，他正呆在朋友家，他会突然离开，迅速赶回伦敦。他想证实房间的门还锁着，那幅画像还安全。有一段时间他总是和亨利勋爵在阿尔及尔的一所小房子里过冬，但是现在他再不到英格兰以外的地方旅行了。

　　他的恐惧一年比一年强。随着时间的流逝，画像中的脸逐渐变得更加可怕。
