There she sat, staid and taciturn-looking, as usual, in her brown stuff gown, her check apron, white handkerchief, and cap.
她坐在那里，還是往常那付沉默寡言的樣子，穿著褐色料子服，系著格子圍裙，揣著白手帕，戴著帽子。
She was intent on her work, in which her whole thoughts seemed absorbed.
她專心致志地忙著手頭的活兒，似乎全身心都撲上去了。
On her hard forehead, and in her commonplace features, was nothing either of the paleness or desperation
她冷漠的額頭和普普通通的五官，既不顯得蒼白，也不見絕望的表情，
one would have expected to see marking the countenance of a woman who had attempted murder,
那種人們期望在一個(gè)蓄謀殺人的女人臉上看到的表情特征，
and whose intended victim had followed her last night to her lair, and (as I believed) , charged her with the crime she wished to perpetrate.
而且那位受害者昨晚跟蹤到了她的藏身之處，并（如我所相信）指控她蓄意犯罪。
I was amazed — confounded.
我十分驚訝，甚至感到惶惑。
She looked up, while I still gazed at her.
我繼續(xù)盯著她看時(shí)，她抬起了頭來。
No start, no increase or failure of colour betrayed emotion, consciousness of guilt, or fear of detection.
沒有驚慌之態(tài)，沒有變臉色，而因此泄露她的情緒和負(fù)罪感，以及害怕被發(fā)現(xiàn)的恐懼心理。
She said "Good morning, Miss," in her usual phlegmatic and brief manner, and taking up another ring and more tape, went on with her sewing.
她以平時(shí)那種冷淡和簡(jiǎn)慢的態(tài)度說了聲："早安，小姐，"又拿起一個(gè)掛環(huán)和一圈線帶，繼續(xù)縫了起來。
"I will put her to some test," thought I: "such absolute impenetrability is past comprehension."
"我倒要試試她看，"我想，"那么絲毫不露聲色是令人難以理解的"。
"Good morning, Grace," I said.
"早安，格雷斯，"我說。
Has anything happened here? I thought I heard the servants all talking together a while ago.
這兒發(fā)生了什么事嗎？我想剛才我聽到仆人們都議論紛紛呢。
Only master had been reading in his bed last night.
不過是昨晚老爺躺在床上看書。
He fell asleep with his candle lit, and the curtains got on fire.
亮著蠟燭就睡著了，床幔起了火。
But, fortunately, he awoke before the bed-clothes or the wood-work caught, and contrived to quench the flames with the water in the ewer.
幸虧床單或木板還沒著火他就醒了，想法用罐子里的水澆滅了火焰。
"A strange affair!" I said, in a low voice.
"怪事！"我低聲說。
Then, looking at her fixedly, "Did Mr. Rochester wake nobody? Did no one hear him move?"
隨后目光緊盯著她，"羅切斯特先生沒有弄醒誰(shuí)嗎！你沒有聽到他走動(dòng)？"
She again raised her eyes to me, and this time there was something of consciousness in their expression.
她再次抬眼看我，這回她的眸子里露出了一種若有所悟的表情。
She seemed to examine me warily.
她似乎先警惕地審視我。
Then she answered:The servants sleep so far off, you know, Miss, they would not be likely to hear.
然后才回答道：仆人們睡的地方離得很遠(yuǎn)，你知道的，小姐，她們不可能聽到。
Mrs. Fairfax's room and yours are the nearest to master's, but Mrs. Fairfax said she heard nothing.
費(fèi)爾法克斯太太的房間和你的離老爺?shù)呐P室最近，但費(fèi)爾法克斯太太說她沒有聽到什么。
