I reflected, and thought, on the whole, I had.
我沉思了一下，大體認(rèn)為自己是這樣。
It was a comfort.
那是一種愉快。
But, indeed, I had been on my guard almost from the beginning of the interview. Something of masquerade I suspected.
不過(guò)說(shuō)實(shí)在一與他見(jiàn)面我便已存戒心。懷疑是一種假面游戲。
I knew gipsies and fortune-tellers did not express themselves as this seeming old woman had expressed herself.
我知道吉卜賽人和算命的人的談吐，不像那個(gè)假老太婆。
Besides I had noted her feigned voice, her anxiety to conceal her features.
此外，我還注意到了她的假嗓子，注意到了她要遮掩自己面容的焦急心情。
But my mind had been running on Grace Poole — that living enigma, that mystery of mysteries, as I considered her.
可是我腦子里一直想著格雷斯。普爾--那個(gè)活著的謎。
I had never thought of Mr. Rochester.
因此壓根兒沒(méi)有想到羅切斯特先生。
"Well," said he, "what are you musing about? What does that grave smile signify?"
"好吧，"他說(shuō)，"你呆呆地在想什么呀？那嚴(yán)肅的笑容是什么意思？"
Wonder and self-congratulation, sir. I have your permission to retire now, I suppose?
驚訝和慶幸，先生。我想，現(xiàn)在你可以允許我離開(kāi)了吧？
No, stay a moment, and tell me what the people in the drawing-room yonder are doing.
不，再呆一會(huì)兒。告訴我那邊會(huì)客室里的人在干什么？
Discussing the gipsy, I dare say.
我想是在議論那個(gè)吉卜賽人。
Sit down! Let me hear what they said about me.
坐下，坐下！講給我聽(tīng)聽(tīng)他們說(shuō)我什么啦？
I had better not stay long, sir. It must be near eleven o' clock.
我還是不要久待好，先生。準(zhǔn)己快十一點(diǎn)了。
Oh, are you aware, Mr. Rochester, that a stranger has arrived here since you left this morning?
呵！你可知道，羅切斯特先生，你早晨走后，有位陌生人到了。
A stranger! No, who can it be? I expected no one. Is he gone?
陌生人！不，會(huì)是誰(shuí)呢？我并沒(méi)有盼誰(shuí)來(lái)，他走了嗎？
No, he said he had known you long, and that he could take the liberty of installing himself here till you returned.
沒(méi)有呢，他說(shuō)他與你相識(shí)很久，可以冒昧地住下等到你回來(lái)。
The devil he did! Did he give his name?
見(jiàn)鬼！他可說(shuō)了姓名？
His name is Mason, sir, and he comes from the West Indies, from Spanish Town, in Jamaica, I think.
他的名字叫梅森，先生，他是從西印度群島來(lái)的，我想是牙買(mǎi)加的西班牙城。
Mr. Rochester was standing near me.
羅切斯特先生正站在我身旁。
