Once more, how do you know?
再說一遍，你怎么知道的呢？
By what instinct do you pretend to distinguish between a fallen seraph of the abyss and a messenger from the eternal throne — between a guide and a seducer?
你憑什么直覺，就裝作能區別一位墜入深淵的天使和一個來自永恒王座的使者——區別一位向導和一個勾引者？
I judged by your countenance, sir, which was troubled when you said the suggestion had returned upon you.
我是根據你說產生這種聯想的時候你臉上不安的表情來判斷的。
I feel sure it will work you more misery if you listen to it.
我敢肯定，要是你聽信了它，那它一定會給你造成更大的不幸。
Not at all, it bears the most gracious message in the world.
絕對不會，它帶著世上最好的信息。
For the rest, you are not my conscience-keeper, so don't make yourself uneasy. Here, come in, bonny wanderer!
至于別的，你又不是我良心的監護人，因此別感到不安。來吧，進來吧，美麗的流浪者！
He said this as if he spoke to a vision, viewless to any eye but his own.
他仿佛在對著一個除了他自己別人什么看不見的幻影說話。
Then, folding his arms, which he had half extended, on his chest, he seemed to enclose in their embrace the invisible being.
隨后他把伸出了一半的胳膊，收起來放在胸部，似乎要把看不見的人摟在懷里。
“Now,” he continued, again addressing me, “I have received the pilgrim — a disguised deity, as I verily believe.
“現在，”他繼續說，再次轉向了我，“我已經接待了這位流浪者 — 喬裝打扮的神，我完全相信。
Already it has done me good: my heart was a sort of charnel. It will now be a shrine.
它已經為我做了好事。我的心原本是一個停骸所，現在會成為一個神龕。
To speak truth, sir, I don't understand you at all.
說實話，先生，我一點也聽不懂你的話。
I cannot keep up the conversation, because it has got out of my depth.
你的談話我跟不上，因為已經越出了我所能理解的深度。
Only one thing, I know. You said you were not as good as you should like to be, and that you regretted your own imperfection.
我只知道一點，你曾說你并不像自己所希望的那樣好，你對自己的缺陷感到遺憾。
One thing I can comprehend. You intimated that to have a sullied memory was a perpetual bane.
有一件事我是理解的，那就是你說的，玷污了的記憶是一個永久的禍根。
It seems to me, that if you tried hard, you would in time find it possible to become what you yourself would approve.
我似乎覺得，只要你全力以赴，到時候你會發現有可能成為自己所向往的人，
And that if from this day you began with resolution to correct your thoughts and actions,
而要是你現在就下決心開始糾正你的思想和行動，
you would in a few years have laid up a new and stainless store of recollections, to which you might revert with pleasure.
不出幾年，你就可以建立一個一塵不染的新記憶倉庫，你也許會很樂意地去回味。
Justly thought; rightly said, Miss Eyre, and, at this moment, I am paving hell with energy.
想得合理，說得也對，愛小姐，而這會兒我是使勁在給地獄鋪路。
Sir? I am laying down good intentions, which I believe durable as flint.
先生？我正在用良好的意圖鋪路，我相信它像燧石一般耐磨。
Certainly, my associates and pursuits shall be other than they have been. And better?
當然，今后我所交往的人和追求的東西與以往的不同了。比以往更好？
And better, so much better as pure ore is than foul dross.
是更好，就像純粹的礦石比污穢的渣滓要好得多一樣。
