He drew his breath short, and strained me so close to him, I could scarcely pant.
他喘著粗氣，緊緊地摟住我，差點讓我透不過氣來。
After some minutes' silence, he continued, cheerily:
沉默片刻之后，他興致十足地說下去：
"Now, Janet, I'll explain to you all about it. It was half dream, half reality.
“現在，簡，我來解釋給你聽。這一半是夢，一半是真。
A woman did, I doubt not, enter your room: and that woman was -- must have been -- Grace Poole.
我并不懷疑確實有個女人進了你房間，那女人就是--準是--格雷斯·普爾。
You call her a strange being yourself:
你自己把她叫作怪人，
from all you know, you have reason so to call her -- what did she do to me? What to Mason?
就你所知，你有理由這么叫她--瞧她怎么對待我的？怎么對待梅森？
In a state between sleeping and waking, you noticed her entrance and her actions;
在似睡非睡的狀態下，你注意到她進了房間，看到了她的行動，
but feverish, almost delirious as you were, you ascribed to her a goblin appearance different from her own:
但由于你興奮得幾乎發狂，你把她當成了不同于她本來面貌的鬼相：
the long dishevelled hair, the swelled black face, the exaggerated stature, were figments of imagination;
散亂的長發、黑黑的腫臉、夸大了的身材是你的臆想，
results of nightmare: the spiteful tearing of the veil was real: and it is like her.
惡夢的產物。惡狠狠撕毀面紗倒是真的，很象她干的事。
I see you would ask why I keep such a woman in my house:
我明白你會問，干嘛在屋里養著這樣一個女人。
when we have been married a year and a day, I will tell you; but not now.
等我們結婚一周年時，我會告訴你，而不是現在。
Are you satisfied, Jane? Do you accept my solution of the mystery?"
你滿意了嗎，簡？你同意對這個謎的解釋嗎？”
