But what had befallen the night?
可是，夜晚發(fā)生什么變化了？
The moon was not yet set, and we were all in shadow:
月亮還沒有下沉，我們已全湮沒在陰影之中了：
I could scarcely see my master's face, near as I was.
雖然主人離我近在咫尺，但我?guī)缀蹩床磺逅哪槨?/div>
And what ailed the chestnut tree? It writhed and groaned;
七葉樹受了什么病痛的折磨？它扭動(dòng)著，呻吟著，
while wind roared in the laurel walk, and came sweeping over us.
狂風(fēng)在月桂樹小徑咆哮，直向我們撲來(lái)。
"We must go in," said Mr. Rochester: "the weather changes. I could have sat with thee till morning, Jane."
“我們得進(jìn)去了，”羅切斯特先生說(shuō)。“天氣變了。不然我可以同你坐到天明，簡(jiǎn)。”
"And so," thought I, "could I with you."
“我也一樣，”我想。
I should have said so, perhaps, but a livid, vivid spark leapt out of a cloud at which I was looking,
也許我應(yīng)該這么說(shuō)出來(lái)，可是從我正仰望著的云層里，竄出了一道鉛灰色的閃電，
and there was a crack, a crash, and a close rattling peal;
隨后是喀啦啦一聲霹靂和近處的一陣隆隆聲；
and I thought only of hiding my dazzled eyes against Mr. Rochester's shoulder.
我只想把自己發(fā)花的眼睛貼在羅切斯特先生的肩膀上。
The rain rushed down. He hurried me up the walk, through the grounds, and into the house;
大雨傾盆而下，他催我踏上小徑，穿過(guò)庭園，進(jìn)屋子去；
but we were quite wet before we could pass the threshold.
但是我們還沒跨進(jìn)門檻就已經(jīng)濕淋淋了。
He was taking off my shawl in the hall,
在廳里他取下了我的披肩，
and shaking the water out of my loosened hair, when Mrs. Fairfax emerged from her room.
把水滴從我散了的頭發(fā)中搖下來(lái)，正在這時(shí)，費(fèi)爾法克斯太太從她房間里出來(lái)了。
I did not observe her at first, nor did Mr. Rochester.
起初我沒有覺察，羅切斯特先生也沒有。
The lamp was lit. The clock was on the stroke of twelve.
燈亮著，時(shí)鐘正敲十二點(diǎn)。
