And overhead — yes, in the room just above my chamber-ceiling — I now heard a struggle.
在我的頭頂 — 不錯，就在我天花板上頭的房間里 — 此刻我聽到了一陣掙扎，從響聲看似乎是一場你死我活的搏斗。
A deadly one it seemed from the noise; and a half-smothered voice shouted:"Help! help! help!" three times rapidly
一個幾乎透不過氣來的聲音喊道："救命呀！救命呀！救命呀！"連叫了三聲。
"Will no one come?" it cried.
"怎么沒有人來呀？"這聲音喊道。
And then, while the staggering and stamping went on wildly, I distinguished through plank and plaster.
隨后，是一陣發瘋似的踉蹌和跺腳，透過木板和灰泥我聽得出來！
Rochester! Rochester! for God's sake, come!
羅切斯特！羅切斯特，看在上帝面上，快來呀？
A chamber-door opened. Some one ran, or rushed, along the gallery.
一扇房門開了。有人跑過，或者說沖過了走廊。
Another step stamped on the flooring above and something fell, and there was silence.
另一個人的腳步踩在頭頂的地板上，什么東西跌倒了，隨之便是一片沉寂。
I had put on some clothes, though horror shook all my limbs. I issued from my apartment.
盡管我嚇得四肢發抖，但還是穿上了幾件衣服。走出房間。
The sleepers were all aroused. Ejaculations, terrified murmurs sounded in every room.
所有熟睡的人都被驚醒了。每個房間都響起了喊叫聲和恐俱的喃喃聲。
Door after door unclosed. One looked out and another looked out. The gallery filled.
門一扇扇打開了。人一個個探出頭來。走廊上站滿了人。
Gentlemen and ladies alike had quitted their beds and "Oh! what is it?"
男賓和女客們都從床上爬起來。"呵，怎么回事？"
Who is hurt? What has happened?
誰傷著了？出了什么事呀？
Fetch a light! Is it fire? Are there robbers?
掌燈呀！起火了嗎？是不是有竊賊？
"Where shall we run?" was demanded confusedly on all hands.
"我們得往哪兒逃呀？"四面八方響起了七嘴八舌的詢問。
But for the moonlight they would have been in complete darkness.
要不是那月光，眾人眼前會一片漆黑。
They ran to and fro. They crowded together.
他們來回亂跑。擠成一堆。
Some sobbed, some stumbled. The confusion was inextricable.
有人哭泣，有人跌交。頓時亂作一團。
"Where the devil is Rochester?" cried Colonel Dent. I cannot find him in his bed.
"見鬼，羅切斯特在哪兒？"登特上校叫道。他床上沒有人。
"Here! here!" was shouted in return. Be composed, all of you. I'm coming.
"在這兒！在這兒："一個聲音喊著回答。大家鎮靜些，我來了。
