"And this is Jane Eyre? Are you coming from Millcote, and on foot?
“這可是簡愛？你從米爾科特來，而且是走來的？
Yes -- just one of your tricks: not to send for a carriage,
是呀--又是你的一個鬼點子，不叫一輛馬車，
and come clattering over street and road like a common mortal,
像一個普通人一樣咔嗒咔嗒穿過街道和大路，
but to steal into the vicinage of your home along with twilight, just as if you were a dream or a shade.
偏要在黃昏薄暮，偷偷來到你家附近，仿佛你是一個夢，是一個影子。
What the deuce have you done with yourself this last month?"
真見鬼，上個月你干了些什么？”
"I have been with my aunt, sir, who is dead."
“我與我舅媽在一起，先生，她去世了?！?/div>
"A true Janian reply! Good angels be my guard!
“地道的簡愛式的回答！但愿善良的天使保護我吧！
She comes from the other world -- from the abode of people who are dead;
她是從另一個世界來的--從死人的住所來的，
and tells me so when she meets me alone here in the gloaming!
而且在黃昏碰見我一個人的時候這么告訴我。
If I dared, I'd touch you, to see if you are substance or shadow, you elf!
要是我有膽量，我會碰碰你，看你是實實在在的人，還是一個影子，你這精靈呀！
but I'd as soon offer to take hold of a blue ignis fatuus light in a marsh. Truant! truant!"
可是我甘愿去沼澤地里捕捉五色的鬼火。逃兵！逃兵！”
he added, when he had paused an instant. "Absent from me a whole month, and forgetting me quite, I'll be sworn!"
他停了燈刻后又補充說：“離開我整整一個月，己經(jīng)把我忘得一干二凈，我敢擔(dān)保！”
I knew there would be pleasure in meeting my master again,
我知道，與主人重逢是一件樂事，
even though broken by the fear that he was so soon to cease to be my master,
盡管備受干擾，因為我擔(dān)心他快要不再是我的主人，
and by the knowledge that I was nothing to him:
而且我也明白我對他無足輕重了：
but there was ever in Mr. Rochester (so at least I thought) such a wealth of the power of communicating happiness,
不過在羅切斯特先生身上（至少我認(rèn)為）永遠(yuǎn)有著一種使人感染上愉快的巨大力量，
that to taste but of the crumbs he scattered to stray and stranger birds like me, was to feast genially.
只要嘗一嘗他撒給像我這樣離群孤鳥的面包皮屑，就無異于飽餐一頓盛宴。
His last words were balm: they seemed to imply that it imported something to him whether I forgot him or not.
他最后的幾句話撫一慰了我，似乎是說，他還挺在乎我有沒有把他給忘了呢。
And he had spoken of Thornfield as my home -- would that it were my home!
而且他把桑菲爾德說成是我的家--但愿那是我的家！
