I shook my head. "What! is there more? But I will not believe it to be anything important.
我搖了搖頭。“什么！還有別的！但我不相信是什么了不起的事情。
I warn you of incredulity beforehand. Go on."
有話在先，我表示懷疑，講下去吧。”
The disquietude of his air, the somewhat apprehensive impatience of his manner, surprised me: but I proceeded.
他神態不安，舉止有些憂慮焦躁，我感到很驚奇，但我繼續說下去了。
"I dreamt another dream, sir: that Thornfield Hall was a dreary ruin, the retreat of bats and owls.
“我還做了另外一個夢，先生。夢見桑菲爾德府已是一處凄涼的廢墟，成了蝙蝠和貓頭鷹出沒的地方。
I thought that of all the stately front nothing remained but a shell-like wall, very high and very fragile-looking.
我想，那氣派非凡的正壁已蕩然無存，只剩下了一道貝殼般的墻，看上去很高也很單簿。
I wandered, on a moonlight night, through the grass-grown enclosure within:
在一個月光如水的夜晚，我漫步穿過里面雜草叢生的圍場。
here I stumbled over a marble hearth, and there over a fallen fragment of cornice.
一會兒這里絆著了大理石火爐，一會兒那里碰到了倒地的斷梁。
Wrapped up in a shawl, I still carried the unknown little child:
我披著頭巾，仍然抱著那個不知名的孩子。
I might not lay it down anywhere, however tired were my arms
盡管我的胳膊很吃力，我卻不能把它隨便放下，
however much its weight impeded my progress, I must retain it.
盡管孩子拖累著我，但我必須帶著它。
I heard the gallop of a horse at a distance on the road;
我聽見了遠處路上一匹馬的奔馳聲。
I was sure it was you; and you were departing for many years and for a distant country.
可以肯定那是你，而你離開已經多年，去了一個遙遠的國家。
I climbed the thin wall with frantic perilous haste, eager to catch one glimpse of you from the top:
我瘋也似地不顧危險匆匆爬上那道薄薄的墻，急于從頂上看你一眼，
the stones rolled from under my feet, the ivy branches I grasped gave way,
石頭從我的腳下滾落，我抓住的枝藤松開了，
the child clung round my neck in terror, and almost strangled me; at last I gained the summit.
那孩子恐懼地緊抱住我的脖子，幾乎使我窒息。最后我爬到了墻頂。
I saw you like a speck on a white track, lessening every moment.
我看見你在白色的路上象一個小點點，越來越小，越來越小。
The blast blew so strong I could not stand.
風刮得那么猛，我簡直站都站不住。
I sat down on the narrow ledge; I hushed the scared infant in my lap:
我坐在狹窄的壁架上，使膝頭這個神圣嬰兒安靜下來。
you turned an angle of the road: I bent forward to take a last look; the wall crumbled; I was shaken;
你在路上拐了一個彎，我俯下身子去看最后一眼。墻倒塌了，我抖動了一下，
the child rolled from my knee, I lost my balance, fell, and woke."
孩子從我膝頭滾下，我失去了平衡，跌了下來，醒過來了。”
