評(píng)論
打印
He rose and came towards me, and I saw his face all kindled,
他立起身，向我走來，我見他滿臉都燃燒著熱情的火焰，
and his full falcon-eye flashing, and tenderness and passion in every lineament.
圓圓的鷹眼閃閃發(fā)光，臉上充溢著溫柔與激情。
I quailed momentarily -- then I rallied.
我一時(shí)有些畏縮--但隨后便振作起來了。
Soft scene, daring demonstration, I would not have; and I stood in peril of both:
柔情蜜意的場面，大膽露骨的表示，我都不希望發(fā)生。但兩種危險(xiǎn)我都面臨著。
a weapon of defence must be prepared -- I whetted my tongue:
我必須準(zhǔn)備好防患的武器--我磨尖了舌頭，
as he reached me, I asked with asperity, "whom he was going to marry now?"
待他一走近我，便厲聲問道，他現(xiàn)在要跟誰結(jié)婚呢？
"That was a strange question to be put by his darling Jane."
“我的寶貝簡提出了這么個(gè)怪問題?！?/p>
"Indeed! I considered it a very natural and necessary one: he had talked of his future wife dying with him.
“真的！我以為這是個(gè)很自然很必要的問題，他已經(jīng)談起未來的妻子同他一起死，
What did he mean by such a pagan idea?
他這個(gè)異教徒念頭是什么意思？
I had no intention of dying with him -- he might depend on that."
我可不想與他一起死--他盡可放心?！?/div>
"Oh, all he longed, all he prayed for, was that I might live with him! Death was not for such as I."
“呵，他所向往，他所祈禱的是你與他一塊兒活！死亡不是屬于像你這樣的人?！?/div>
"Indeed it was: I had as good a right to die when my time came as he had:
“自然也是屬于我的，我跟他一樣，時(shí)候一到，照樣有權(quán)去死。
but I should bide that time, and not be hurried away in a suttee."
但我要等到壽終正寢，而不是自焚殉夫，匆匆了此一生?！?/div>
"Would I forgive him for the selfish idea, and prove my pardon by a reconciling kiss?"
“你能寬恕他這種自私的想法，給他一個(gè)吻，表示原諒與和解嗎？”
"No: I would rather be excused."
“不，我寧可免了?！?/p>
