Oh, Dirk, I've never since we met asked you to do anything for me.
“噢，戴爾克，自從咱們認(rèn)識以后我還沒有求你做過什么事呢。”
You know there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do for you.
“你自己也知道，只要你說一句話，天底下沒有一件事我不肯為你做的。”
I beg you not to let Strickland come here. Anyone else you like. Bring a thief, a drunkard, any outcast off the streets, and I promise you I'll do everything I can for them gladly. But I beseech you not to bring Strickland here.
“我求你別叫思特里克蘭德到這里來。你叫誰來都成，不管是小偷，是醉鬼，還是街頭的流浪漢，我敢保證，我都服侍他們，盡我的一切力量服侍他們。但是我懇求你，千萬別把思特里克蘭德帶回家里。”
But why?
“可是為什么呀？”
I'm frightened of him. I don't know why, but there's something in him that terrifies me. He'll do us some great harm. I know it. I feel it. If you bring him here it can only end badly.
“我怕他。我也不知道為什么，他這個人叫我怕得要死。他會給我們帶來禍害。我知道得非常清楚。我感覺得出來。如果你把他招來，不會有好結(jié)局的。”
But how unreasonable!
“你真是沒有道理。”
No, no. I know I'm right. Something terrible will happen to us.
“不，不，我知道我是對的。咱們家會發(fā)生可怕的事的。”
Because we do a good action?
“為什么？因為咱們做了一件好事？”
She was panting now, and in her face was a terror which was inexplicable. I do not know what she thought. I felt that she was possessed by some shapeless dread which robbed her of all self-control. As a rule she was so calm; her agitation now was amazing. Stroeve looked at her for a while with puzzled consternation.
她的呼吸非常急促，臉上有一種無法解釋的恐懼。我不知道她想的是什么。我覺得她好象正被一種無形的恐怖緊緊抓住，完全失去控制自己的能力了。她一向總是沉著穩(wěn)重，現(xiàn)在這種驚懼不安的樣子著實(shí)令人吃驚。施特略夫帶著困惑、驚愕的神情打量了她一會兒。
You are my wife; you are dearer to me than anyone in the world. No one shall come here without your entire consent.
“你是我的妻子，對我說來，你比任何事物都寶貴。如果你沒有完全同意誰也不會到咱們家來。”
She closed her eyes for a moment, and I thought she was going to faint.
她閉了一會兒眼睛，我以為她或許要暈過去了。
