Its second rising displayed a more elaborately prepared scene than the last.
第二幕表演比第一幕顯得更加精心準備。
The drawing-room, as I have before observed,
如我以前所觀察的那樣，
was raised two steps above the dining-room, and on the top of the upper step,
客廳已墊得比餐室高出兩個臺階，在客廳內靠后一兩碼的頂端臺階上，
placed a yard or two back within the room, appeared a large marble basin
放置著一個碩大的大理石盆，我認出來那是溫室里的一個裝飾品
which I recognised as an ornament of the conservatory where it usually stood, surrounded by exotics, and tenanted by gold fish,
平時里面養著金魚，周圍布滿了異國花草，它體積大，份量重
and whence it must have been transported with some trouble, on account of its size and weight.
搬到這兒來一定是花了一番周折的。
Seated on the carpet, by the side of this basin, was seen Mr. Rochester, costumed in shawls, with a turban on his head.
在這個大盆子旁邊的地毯上，坐著羅切斯特先生，身裹披巾，額纏頭巾。
His dark eyes and swarthy skin and Paynim features suited the costume exactly.
他烏黑的眼睛、黝黑的皮膚和穆斯林式的五官，與這身打扮十分般配。
He looked the very model of an Eastern emir, an agent or a victim of the bowstring.
他看上去活象一個東方的酋長，一個絞死人和被人絞死的角色。
Presently advanced into view Miss Ingram.
不久，英格拉姆小姐登場了。
She, too, was attired in oriental fashion.
她也是一身東方式裝束。
A crimson scarf tied sash-like round the waist.
一條大紅圍巾象腰帶似地纏在腰間。
An embroidered handkerchief knotted about her temples.
一塊繡花手帕圍住額頭。
Her beautifully-moulded arms bare,
她那形態美麗的雙臂赤裸著，
one of them upraised in the act of supporting a pitcher, poised gracefully on her head.
其中的一條高高舉起，優美地托著頂在頭上的一個壇子。
Both her cast of form and feature, her complexion and her general air,
她的體態和容貌，她的膚色和神韻，
suggested the idea of some Israelitish princess of the patriarchal days.
使人想起了宗法時代的以色列公主。
And such was doubtless the character she intended to represent.
無疑那正是她想要扮演的角色。
She approached the basin, and bent over it as if to fill her pitcher.
她走近大盆子，俯身似乎要把水壇灌滿。
She again lifted it to her head.
隨后再次把壇子舉起來放在頭上。
The personage on the well-brink now seemed to accost her to make some request.
那個在井邊的人好像在同他打招呼，提出了某種要求。
