I walked a while on the pavement; but a subtle, well-known scent -- that of a cigar -- stole from some window;
在鋪筑過的路面上散了一會兒步；但是一陣細微而熟悉的清香--雪茄的氣味--悄悄地從某個窗子里鉆了出來。
I saw the library casement open a handbreadth; I knew I might be watched thence; so I went apart into the orchard.
我看見圖書室的窗開了一手掌寬的縫隙；我知道可能有人會從那兒看我，因此我走開了，進了果園。
No nook in the grounds more sheltered and more Eden-like;
庭園里沒有比這更隱蔽，更象伊甸園的角落了。
it was full of trees, it bloomed with flowers:
這里樹木繁茂，花兒盛開，
a very high wall shut it out from the court, on one side; on the other, a beech avenue screened it from the lawn.
一邊有高墻同院子隔開；另一邊一條長滿山毛櫸的路，象屏障一般，把它和草坪分開。
At the bottom was a sunk fence; its sole separation from lonely fields:
底下是一道矮籬，是它與孤寂的田野唯一的分界：
a winding walk, bordered with laurels and terminating in a giant horse-chestnut, circled at the base by a seat, led down to the fence.
一條蜿蜒的小徑通向籬笆，路邊長著月桂樹，路的盡頭是一棵巨大無比的七葉樹，樹底下圍著一排座位。
Here one could wander unseen.
你可以在這兒漫步而不被人看到。
While such honey-dew fell, such silence reigned, such gloaming gathered, I felt as if I could haunt such shade for ever;
在這種玉露徐降、悄無聲息、夜色漸濃的時刻，我仿佛覺得會永遠在這樣的陰影里躑躅。
but in threading the flower and fruit parterres at the upper part of the enclosure,
但這時我被初升的月亮投向園中高處開闊地的光芒所吸引，
enticed there by the light the now rising moon cast on this more open quarter, my step is stayed
穿過花圃和果園，卻停住了腳步，
not by sound, not by sight, but once more by a warning fragrance.
不是因為聽到或是看到了什么，而是因為再次聞到了一種我所警覺的香味。
