"Describe it, Jane."
“描繪一下吧，簡。”
"It seemed, sir, a woman, tall and large, with thick and dark hair hanging long down her back.
“先生，那似乎是個女人，又高又大，背上垂著粗一黑的長發。

我不知道她穿了什么衣服，反正又白又整齊。但究竟是袍子，被單，還是裹尸布，我說不上來。”

"And how were they?"
“看上去怎么樣？”
"Fearful and ghastly to me -- oh, sir, I never saw a face like it! It was a discoloured face -- it was a savage face.
“我覺得像鬼一樣嚇人--呵，先生，我從來沒有見過這樣的面孔！沒有血色，一付兇相。
I wish I could forget the roll of the red eyes and the fearful blackened inflation of the lineaments!"
但愿我忘掉那雙骨碌碌轉的紅眼睛，那付黑乎乎五官鼓鼓的鬼相！”
