She heeded nothing of what I said; but when she had tasted the water and drawn breath, she went on thus:
她對我說的話毫不理會；不過喝了水，透過氣來后，她又繼續(xù)說：
"I tell you I could not forget it; and I took my revenge:
“我告訴你我忘不了這些，并且報復(fù)了：
for you to be adopted by your uncle, and placed in a state of ease and comfort, was what I could not endure.
任你由叔叔領(lǐng)養(yǎng)，安安穩(wěn)穩(wěn)舒舒服服過日子，我是不能忍受的。
I wrote to him; I said I was sorry for his disappointment, but Jane Eyre was dead: she had died of typhus fever at Lowood.
我寫信給他，說是很遺憾使他失望了，但簡·愛已經(jīng)去世，在羅沃德死于斑疹傷寒。
Now act as you please: write and contradict my assertion -- expose my falsehood as soon as you like.
現(xiàn)在隨你怎么辦吧，寫封信否認(rèn)我的說法--盡快揭露我的謊話。
You were born, I think, to be my torment:
我想，你生來就是我的冤家：
my last hour is racked by the recollection of a deed which, but for you, I should never have been tempted to commit."
只剩一口氣了，還讓我叨念過去的事來折磨我，要不是因為你，我是不會經(jīng)不住誘惑，去干那種事的。”
"If you could but be persuaded to think no more of it, aunt, and to regard me with kindness and forgiveness..."
“但愿你能聽從勸告，忘掉這些，舅媽，寬容慈祥地對待我...”
"You have a very bad disposition," said she, "and one to this day I feel it impossible to understand:
“你的脾氣很糟，”她說，“這種性格我到今天都難以理解：
how for nine years you could be patient and quiescent under any treatment,
九年中，不管怎樣對待你，你都耐著性子，默默無聲，
and in the tenth break out all fire and violence, I can never comprehend."
而到了第十年，卻突然發(fā)作，火氣沖天，我永遠(yuǎn)無法理解。”
