"Now, he has his back towards me," thought I, "and he is occupied too;
“現(xiàn)在，他背對(duì)著我，”我想，“而且全神貫注，
perhaps, if I walk softly, I can slip away unnoticed."
也許要是我腳步兒輕些，我可以人不知鬼不覺(jué)地溜走。”
I trode on an edging of turf that the crackle of the pebbly gravel might not betray me:
我踩在路邊的草皮上，免得沙石路的咔嚓聲把自己給暴露，
he was standing among the beds at a yard or two distant from where I had to pass; the moth apparently engaged him.
他站在離我必經(jīng)之地一兩碼的花壇中間，顯然飛蛾吸引了他的注意力。
"I shall get by very well," I meditated.
“我會(huì)順利通過(guò)，”我暗自思忖。
As I crossed his shadow, thrown long over the garden by the moon, not yet risen high,
月亮還沒(méi)有升得很高，在園子里投下了羅切斯特先生長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的身影，我正要跨過(guò)這影子，
he said quietly, without turning: "Jane, come and look at this fellow."
他卻頭也不回就低聲說(shuō)：“簡(jiǎn)，過(guò)來(lái)看看這家伙。”
I had made no noise: he had not eyes behind -- could his shadow feel?
我不曾發(fā)出聲響，他背后也不長(zhǎng)眼睛--難道他的影子會(huì)有感覺(jué)不成？
I started at first, and then I approached him.
我先是嚇了一跳，隨后便朝他走去。
"Look at his wings," said he, "he reminds me rather of a West Indian insect;
“瞧它的翅膀，”他說(shuō)，“它使我想起一只西印度的昆蟲(chóng)，
one does not often see so large and gay a night-rover in England; there! he is flown."
在英國(guó)不常見(jiàn)到這么又大又艷麗的夜游蟲(chóng)；瞧！它飛走了。”
The moth roamed away.
飛蛾飄忽著飛走了。
I was sheepishly retreating also; but Mr. Rochester followed me, and when we reached the wicket, he said:
我也局促不安地退去。可是羅切斯特先生跟著我，到了邊門，他說(shuō)：
"Turn back: on so lovely a night it is a shame to sit in the house;
“回來(lái)，這么可愛(ài)的夜晚，坐在屋子里多可惜；
and surely no one can wish to go to bed while sunset is thus at meeting with moonrise."
在日落與月出相逢的時(shí)刻，肯定是沒(méi)有誰(shuí)愿意去睡覺(jué)的。”
