Chapter 12 Pip discovers the truth
第12章 匹普真相大白
While Estella lived in London，staying with friends of Miss Havishams，I often visited her．
當(dāng)艾絲黛拉生活在倫敦和郝薇香小姐的朋友住在一起時(shí)，我常去拜訪(fǎng)她。
She had an endless stream of admirers，and I was jealous of all of them．
她有一個(gè)川流不息的崇拜者隊(duì)伍，我是他們大家所嫉妒的。
I never had an hours happiness with her，but I still thought about her，day and night，and my dearest wish was to marry her．
我和她從來(lái)沒(méi)有半小時(shí)的快樂(lè)，但我仍然日夜想念她，我的最美好的愿望是和她結(jié)婚。
Several times Miss Havisham ordered me to bring Estella to visit her，and of course I always obeyed．
郝薇香小姐幾次要求我?guī)еz黛拉去看她。當(dāng)然啦，我總是服從。
Estella was as proud and cold as ever，with her admirers，with Miss Havisham and with me．
艾絲黛拉對(duì)她的崇拜者、對(duì)郝薇香小姐、對(duì)我像以往一樣的傲慢和冷酷無(wú)情。
One man who admired her and followed her everywhere was the unpleasant Bentley Drummle．One day I asked her about him．
有一個(gè)喜歡她并且到處陪著她的人是可惡的本特利·朱穆?tīng)枴Ｒ惶欤蚁虬z黛拉問(wèn)起了他。
Estella，why do you encourage someone like Drummle？You know very well hes stupid，and nobody likes him．
艾絲黛拉，為什么你親近像朱穆?tīng)栠@樣的人？你很清楚他是愚蠢的，沒(méi)有人喜歡他。
Dont be foolish，Pip，she answered．Perhaps I encourage him because that has a certain effect on the others．
不要犯傻了，匹普，她回答說(shuō)，也許我親近他是因?yàn)樵谄渌矫嬗心承┯绊憽?/div>
But he isnt worth it！I cried angrily．
可是，他不值得親近！我氣憤地喊著。
What difference does it make？she answered tiredly．If I smile at him，its because it means nothing to me．
這樣做有什么關(guān)系？她厭倦地回答，是否我對(duì)他微笑？而對(duì)你沒(méi)什么表示。
You should be glad that I dont give you false looks or smiles．At least I am always honest with you．
你應(yīng)當(dāng)高興，我沒(méi)有給你虛假的一眼或虛假的微笑。最后，我始終對(duì)你是真情的。
But while my heart was aching for Estella，I had no idea that I would soon be hit by a disaster which would completely destroy my hopos and dreams．
但是，當(dāng)我正為艾絲黛拉痛心時(shí)，我還沒(méi)有意識(shí)到，我很快會(huì)受到完全毀滅我的希望和夢(mèng)想的這一災(zāi)難性的打擊。
The chain of events which had begun before I ever met her was slowly reaching its end．
我在認(rèn)識(shí)她以前已經(jīng)開(kāi)始的一連串的事件，正慢慢地走向它的結(jié)尾。
關(guān)于《遠(yuǎn)大前程》皮普知道一旦逃犯被抓，他從逃犯那里繼承的財(cái)產(chǎn)也將被充公，因?yàn)樗粫?huì)洗錢(qián)，又不懂法律，所以只好為了幫助被妒嫉的鄉(xiāng)紳告發(fā)的逃犯。
