Mr. Rochester had sometimes read my unspoken thoughts with an acumen to me incomprehensible:
羅切斯特先生有時有一種我所無法理解的敏銳，能看透我沒有表露的思想，
in the present instance he took no notice of my abrupt vocal response;
眼下他沒有理會我唐突的口頭回答，
but he smiled at me with a certain smile he had of his own, and which he used but on rare occasions.
卻以他特有而少見的笑容，朝我笑笑。
He seemed to think it too good for common purposes:
他似乎認為這種笑容太美妙，犯不著用于一般的目的：
it was the real sunshine of feeling -- he shed it over me now.
這確實是情感的陽光--此刻他將它撒遍我周身。
"Pass, Janet," said he, making room for me to cross the stile:
“走過去吧，珍妮特，”他說著空出地方來讓我跨過臺階。
"go up home, and stay your weary little wandering feet at a friend's threshold."
“回家去，在朋友的門檻里，歇歇你那雙奔波不定、疲倦了的小腳吧。”
All I had now to do was to obey him in silence: no need for me to colloquise further.
現(xiàn)在我該做的不過是默默地聽從他罷了，沒有必要再作口頭交談。
I got over the stile without a word, and meant to leave him calmly.
我二話沒說跨過石階，打算平靜地離開他。
An impulse held me fast -- a force turned me round.
但是一種沖動攫住了我--一種力量使我回過頭來。
I said -- or something in me said for me, and in spite of me:
我說--或是內(nèi)心的某種東西不由自主地替我說了：
"Thank you, Mr. Rochester, for your great kindness.
“羅切斯特先生，謝謝你的關(guān)懷。
I am strangely glad to get back again to you: and wherever you are is my home -- my only home."
回到你身邊，我感到出奇地高興：你在哪兒，那兒就是我的家--我唯一的家。”
I walked on so fast that even he could hardly have overtaken me had he tried.
我走得那么快，甚至就是他要追趕也追趕不上。
Little Adèle was half wild with delight when she saw me.
小阿黛勒一見我樂得差點兒瘋了。
Mrs. Fairfax received me with her usual plain friendliness.
費爾法克斯太太照例以一種樸實的友情接待了我。
Leah smiled, and even Sophie bid me "bon soir" with glee.
莉婭朝我笑笑，甚至連索菲婭也愉快地對我說了聲“bon soir”。
This was very pleasant;
我感到非常愉快。
there is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.
你為自己的同類所愛，并感覺到自己的存在為他們增添了快慰時，你的幸福是無與倫比的。
