評(píng)論

A fortnight of dubious calm succeeded my return to Thornfield Hall.
我回到桑菲爾德府后的兩周，是在令人生疑的平靜中度過(guò)的。
Nothing was said of the master's marriage, and I saw no preparation going on for such an event.
主人的婚事沒(méi)有再提起，我也沒(méi)有看到為這件大事在作準(zhǔn)備。
Almost every day I asked Mrs. Fairfax if she had yet heard anything decided: her answer was always in the negative.
我?guī)缀跆焯靻?wèn)費(fèi)爾法克斯太太，是否聽(tīng)說(shuō)已經(jīng)作出了決定：她總是給予否定的回答。
Once she said she had actually put the question to Mr. Rochester as to when he was going to bring his bride home;
有一回她說(shuō)，她事實(shí)上已經(jīng)問(wèn)過(guò)羅切斯特先生，什么時(shí)候把新一娘一接回家來(lái)，
but he had answered her only by a joke and one of his queer looks, and she could not tell what to make of him.
但他只開(kāi)了個(gè)玩笑，作了個(gè)鬼臉，便算是回答了，她猜不透他的心思。
One thing specially surprised me, and that was, there were no journeyings backward and forward, no visits to Ingram Park:
有一件事更讓人感到奇怪，他沒(méi)有來(lái)回奔波，造訪英格拉姆小姐：
to be sure it was twenty miles off, on the borders of another county;
說(shuō)實(shí)在，那地方位于本郡與另一個(gè)郡的交界之處，相隔僅二十英里，
but what was that distance to an ardent lover?
這點(diǎn)距離對(duì)一個(gè)熱戀中的情人來(lái)說(shuō)算得了什么？
To so practised and indefatigable a horseman as Mr. Rochester, it would be but a morning's ride.
對(duì)于羅切斯特先生這樣一位熟練而不知疲倦的騎手，那不過(guò)是一個(gè)上午的工夫。
I began to cherish hopes I had no right to conceive: that the match was broken off;
我開(kāi)始萌生不該有的希望：婚事告吹，
that rumour had been mistaken; that one or both parties had changed their minds.
謠言不確，一方或雙方都改變了主意。
I used to look at my master's face to see if it were sad or fierce;
我常常觀察我主人的臉，看看是不是有傷心或惱恨之情，
but I could not remember the time when it had been so uniformly clear of clouds or evil feelings.
但是在我的記憶中，他的面部從來(lái)沒(méi)有像現(xiàn)在這樣毫無(wú)愁容或怒色。
If, in the moments I and my pupil spent with him, I lacked spirits and sank into inevitable dejection, he became even gay.
在我與我的學(xué)生同他相處的時(shí)刻，要是我無(wú)精打采，并難免情緒消沉，他反倒樂(lè)不可支了。
Never had he called me more frequently to his presence;
我從來(lái)沒(méi)有像現(xiàn)在這么頻繁地被他叫到跟前，
never been kinder to me when there -- and, alas! never had I loved him so well.
到了那里他又待我這么親切--而且，哎呀？我也從來(lái)沒(méi)有如此愛(ài)他過(guò)。
