I heard him go as I stood at the half-open door of my own room, to which I had now withdrawn.
我聽見他走了，這時我已回到自己的房間里，正站在半掩著的門旁邊。
The house cleared, I shut myself in, fastened the bolt that none might intrude, and proceeded
人去樓空，我把自己關進房間，拴上門，免得別人闖進來，然后開始，
not to weep, not to mourn, I was yet too calm for that,
不是哭泣，不是悲傷，我很鎮靜，不會這樣，
but -- mechanically to take off the wedding dress
而是--機械地脫下婚禮服，
and replace it by the stuff gown I had worn yesterday, as I thought, for the last time.
換上昨天我要最后一次穿戴的呢袍。
I then sat down: I felt weak and tired.

I leaned my arms on a table, and my head dropped on them.
我用胳膊支著桌子，將頭靠在手上。
And now I thought: till now I had only heard, seen, moved -- followed up and down where I was led or dragged
現在我開始思考了。在此之前，我只是聽，只是看，只是動--由別人領著或拖著，跟上跟下，
watched event rush on event, disclosure open beyond disclosure: but now, I thought.
觀看事情一件件發生，秘密一樁樁揭開。而現在，我開始思考了。
The morning had been a quiet morning enough -- all except the brief scene with the lunatic:
早上是夠平靜的--除了與瘋子交手的短暫場面，一切都平平靜靜。
the transaction in the church had not been noisy;
教堂里的一幕也并沒有高聲大氣，
there was no explosion of passion, no loud altercation, no dispute, no defiance or challenge, no tears, no sobs:
沒有暴怒，沒有大聲吵鬧，沒有爭辯，沒有對抗或挑釁，沒有眼淚，沒有哭泣。
a few words had been spoken, a calmly pronounced objection to the marriage made;
幾句話一說，平靜地宣布對婚姻提出異議，
some stern, short questions put by Mr. Rochester; answers, explanations given, evidence adduced;
羅切斯特先生問了幾個嚴厲而簡短的問題，對方作了回答和解釋，援引了證據，
an open admission of the truth had been uttered by my master;
我主人公開承認了事實，
then the living proof had been seen; the intruders were gone, and all was over.
隨后看了活的證據。闖入者走了，一切都過去了。
