He lifted the hangings from the wall, uncovering the second door: this, too, he opened.
他撩起墻上的帷幔，露出了第二扇門，又把它打開。
In a room without a window, there burnt a fire guarded by a high and strong fender,
在一間沒有窗戶的房間里，燃著一堆火，外面圍著一個又高又堅固的火爐圍欄，
and a lamp suspended from the ceiling by a chain.
從天花板上垂下的鐵鏈子上懸掛著一些燈。
Grace Poole bent over the fire, apparently cooking something in a saucepan.
格雷斯·普爾俯身向著火，似乎在平底鍋里炒著什么東西。
In the deep shade, at the farther end of the room, a figure ran backwards and forwards.
在房間另一頭的暗影里，一個人影在前后跑動。
What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight, tell:
那究竟是什么，是動物還是人，粗粗一看難以辨認，
it grovelled, seemingly, on all fours; it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal:
它好象四肢著地趴著，又是抓又是叫，活象某種奇異的野生動物，
but it was covered with clothing, and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane, hid its head and face.
只不過有衣服蔽體罷了。一頭黑白相間、亂如鬃毛的頭發遮去了她的頭和臉。
"Good-morrow, Mrs. Poole!" said Mr. Rochester. "How are you? and how is your charge to-day?"
“早上好，普爾太太？”羅切斯特先生說，“你好嗎？你照管的人今天怎么樣？”
"We're tolerable, sir, I thank you," replied Grace,
“馬馬虎虎，先生，謝謝你，”格雷斯一面回答，
lifting the boiling mess carefully on to the hob: "rather snappish, but not 'rageous."
一面小心地把燒滾了的亂七八糟的東西放在爐旁架子上。“有些急躁，但沒有動武。”
A fierce cry seemed to give the lie to her favourable report: the clothed hyena rose up, and stood tall on its hind-feet.
一陣兇惡的叫聲似乎揭穿了她報喜不報憂，這條穿了衣服的野狗直起身來，高高地站立在后腿上。
"Ah! sir, she sees you!" exclaimed Grace: "you'd better not stay."
“哎呀，先生，她看見了你？”格雷斯嚷道，“你還是別呆在這兒。”
