It was verging on dusk, and the clock had already given warning of the hour to dress for dinner,
時(shí)候已近黃昏，教堂的鐘聲提醒人們已到了換裝用飯的時(shí)刻。
when little Adèle, who knelt by me in the drawing-room window-seat, suddenly exclaimed:
這當(dāng)兒，在客廳里跪在我身邊窗臺(tái)上的阿黛勒突然大叫起來：
"Voile, Monsieur Rochester, qui revient!"
“羅切斯特先生，誰回來了！”
I turned, and Miss Ingram darted forwards from her sofa.
我轉(zhuǎn)過身，英格拉姆小姐從沙發(fā)上一躍而起。
The others, too, looked up from their several occupations.
其余的人也停下自己的活動(dòng)抬起頭來。
For at the same time a crunching of wheels and a splashing tramp of horse-hoofs became audible on the wet gravel.
與此同時(shí)，車輪的吱嘎聲和馬蹄涉水的潑喇聲，在濕漉漉的沙土路上隱約傳來。
A post-chaise was approaching.
一輛驛站馬車駛近了。
"What can possess him to come home in that style?" said Miss Ingram.
“他中了什么邪啦，這等模樣回家來？”英格拉姆小姐說道。
He rode Mesrour (the black horse), did he not, when he went out? And Pilot was with him:
他出門時(shí)騎的是梅斯羅（那匹黑馬），不是嗎？而派洛特也跟著他的，
What has he done with the animals?
他把這兩頭動(dòng)物怎么啦？
As she said this, she approached her tall person and ample garments so near the window,
她說這話時(shí)，高高的身子和寬大的衣服緊挨著窗子，
that I was obliged to bend back almost to the breaking of my spine.
弄得我不得不往后仰，差一點(diǎn)繃斷了脊骨。
In her eagerness she did not observe me at first, but when she did, she curled her lip and moved to another casement.
焦急之中，她起初沒有看見我，但一見我便噘起嘴，走到另外一扇窗去了。
The post-chaise stopped. the driver rang the door-bell, and a gentleman alighted attired in travelling garb.
馬車停了下來，駕車人按了按門鈴，一位穿著旅行裝的紳士跳下車來。
But it was not Mr. Rochester; It was a tall, fashionable-looking man, a stranger.
不過不是羅切斯特先生。是位看上去很時(shí)髦的大個(gè)子男人，一個(gè)陌生人。
"How provoking!" exclaimed Miss Ingram: "you tiresome monkey!" (apostrophising Adèle) ,
“真惱人！”英格拉姆小姐嚷道：“你這個(gè)討厭的猴子！”（稱呼阿黛勒）
who perched you up in the window to give false intelligence?
誰將你弄上窗子謊報(bào)消息的？
And she cast on me an angry glance, as if I were in fault.
她怒悻悻地瞥了我一眼，仿佛這是我的過錯(cuò)。
