Do you never laugh, Miss Eyre?
你從來沒有笑過嗎，愛小姐？
Don't trouble yourself to answer — I see you laugh rarely.
你不必費心來回答了 — 我知道你難得一笑。
But you can laugh very merrily.
可是你可以笑得很歡。
Believe me, you are not naturally austere, any more than I am naturally vicious.
請相信我，你不是生來嚴肅的，就像我不是生來可惡的。
The Lowood constraint still clings to you somewhat,
羅沃德的束縛，至今仍在你身上留下某些印跡，
controlling your features, muffling your voice, and restricting your limbs.
控制著你的神態(tài)，壓抑著你的嗓音，捆綁著你的手腳，
And you fear in the presence of a man and a brother
所以你害怕在一個男人，一位兄長
or father, or master, or what you will to smile too gaily, speak too freely, or move too quickly.
或者父親、或者主人，隨你怎么說，面前開懷大笑，害怕說話太隨便，害怕動作太迅速，
But, in time, I think you will learn to be natural with me,
不過到時候，我想你會學(xué)著同我自然一些的，
as I find it impossible to be conventional with you.
就像覺得要我按照陋習(xí)來對待你是不可能的。
And then your looks and movements will have more vivacity and variety than they dare offer now.
到那時，你的神態(tài)和動作會比現(xiàn)在所敢于流露的更富有生氣、更多姿多彩。
I see at intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close-set bars of a cage.
我透過木條緊固的鳥籠，不時觀察著一只頗念新奇的鳥。
A vivid, restless, resolute captive is there.
籠子里是一個活躍、不安、不屈不撓的囚徒。
Were it but free, it would soar cloud-high.
一旦獲得自由，它一定會高飛云端。
You are still bent on going?
你還是執(zhí)意要走？
It has struck nine, sir.
己經(jīng)過了九點，先生。
Never mind, wait a minute. Adèle is not ready to go to bed yet.
沒有關(guān)系，等一會兒吧，阿黛勒還沒有準(zhǔn)備好上床呢，愛小姐。
My position, Miss Eyre, with my back to the fire, and my face to the room, favours observation.
我背靠爐火，面對房間，有利于觀察。
While talking to you, I have also occasionally watched Adèle
跟你說話的時候，我也不時注意著她
I have my own reasons for thinking her a curious study,
我有自己的理由把她當(dāng)作奇特的研究對象，
reasons that I may, nay, that I shall, impart to you some day.
這理由我某一天可以，不，我會講給你聽的。
She pulled out of her box, about ten minutes ago, a little pink silk frock.
大約十分鐘之前，她從箱子里取出一件粉紅色絲綢小上衣，
Rapture lit her face as she unfolded it.
打開的時候臉上充滿了喜悅。
Coquetry runs in her blood, blends with her brains, and seasons the marrow of her bones.
媚俗之氣流動在她的血液里，融化在她的腦髓里，沉淀在她的骨髓里。
'Il faut que je l' essaie!' cried she, 'et e l' instant meme!'
‘我要試試！’她嚷道，‘現(xiàn)在！'
And she rushed out of the room.
于是她沖出了房間。
