We'd gone riding up one of those revolting mountains, and it was horribly hot and oppressive, and after lunch we went to sleep. Or at least I did. She must have gone for a walk, alone.
我們倆在那些叫人惡心的山上騎馬玩，天熱得可怕，又悶。午飯后我們?nèi)ニ?。至少我是睡了。她肯定是一個人散步去了。
At any rate, when I woke up, she wasn't there.
總而言之，我醒來時她不在家。
And the most frightful thunderstorm I've ever seen was just bursting on us.
而那時我所遇到過的最可怕的風(fēng)暴正在我們頭上暴發(fā)。
And it poured and roared and flashed; and the horses broke loose and ran away;
雷聲隆隆，電光閃閃，傾盆大雨。我們的馬掙脫韁繩逃掉了。
and I fell down, trying to catch them, and hurt my knee, so that I could hardly walk.
我想抓住馬，卻摔倒了，傷了膝蓋，幾乎不能走路。
Still, I searched and I shouted and I searched. But there was no sign of her.
我仍然一邊喊一邊找，一邊喊一邊找?？墒鞘裁篡E象都沒有找到。
Then I thought she must have gone back to the rest-house by herself. So I crawled down into the valley by the way we had come.
我猜想她說不定已經(jīng)一個人回去了，又沿著來時的路爬下山谷。
My knee was agonizingly painful, and I'd lost my soma.
我的膝蓋痛得要命，卻又弄丟了唆麻。
It took me hours. I didn't get back to the rest-house till after midnight. And she wasn't there; she wasn't there," the Director repeated. There was a silence. "Well," he resumed at last, "the next day there was a search.
我走了好幾個小時，直到半夜才回到住處，可是她仍然不在。”主任重復(fù)道，沉默了一會兒。“喏，”他終于說了下去，‘黎二天又找。
But we couldn't find her. She must have fallen into a gully somewhere; or been eaten by a mountain lion.
仍然找不到。她一定是在什么地方摔下了山溝里，或是叫山上的獅子吃了。
Ford knows. Anyhow it was horrible. It upset me very much at the time.
福帝知道！總之，那是很可怕的，我心里難過極了，
More than it ought to have done, I dare say.
肯定超過了應(yīng)有的限度——
Because, after all, it's the sort of accident that might have happened to any one; and, of course, the social body persists although the component cells may change."
因為那種意外畢竟可能發(fā)生在任何人身上；而盡管構(gòu)成社會的細胞可能變化，社會群體卻萬古長青?！?/div>
But this sleep-taught consolation did not seem to be very effective.
但是這種睡眠教育的安慰似乎不大起作用。
Shaking his head, "I actually dream about it sometimes," the Director went on in a low voice.
他搖搖頭，“‘實際上我有時候會夢見這事，”主任語調(diào)低沉地說下去，
"Dream of being woken up by that peal of thunder and finding her gone; dream of searching and searching for her under the trees."
“夢見被隆隆的雷聲驚醒，發(fā)現(xiàn)她不見了；夢見自己在樹下找呀，找呀?！?/div>
He lapsed into the silence of reminiscence.
他沉默了，墮入了回憶。
"You must have had a terrible shock," said Bernard, almost enviously.
“你一定是嚇壞了。”伯納幾乎要羨慕他了，說。
