"You come out at last," he said. "Well, I have been waiting for you long, and listening:
“你終于出來了，”他說，“是呀，我已經(jīng)等了你很久了，而且細(xì)聽著，
yet not one movement have I heard, nor one sob: five minutes more of that death-like hush,
但既沒有聽到一點(diǎn)動(dòng)靜，也沒有聽到一聲哭泣，再過五分鐘那么死一般的沉寂，
and I should have forced the lock like a burglar. So you shun me? you shut yourself up and grieve alone!
我可要像盜賊那樣破門而入了。看來，你避開我？你把自己關(guān)起來，獨(dú)自傷心？
I would rather you had come and upbraided me with vehemence. You are passionate.
我倒情愿你厲聲責(zé)備我。你易動(dòng)感情。
I expected a scene of some kind.
因此我估計(jì)會(huì)大鬧一場(chǎng)。
I was prepared for the hot rain of tears; only I wanted them to be shed on my breast:
我準(zhǔn)備你熱淚如雨，只不過希望它落在我胸膛上，
now a senseless floor has received them, or your drenched handkerchief.
而現(xiàn)在，沒有知覺的地板，或是你濕透了的手帕，接受了你的眼淚。
But I err: you have not wept at all! I see a white cheek and a faded eye, but no trace of tears.
可是我錯(cuò)了，你根本沒有哭！我看到了白白的臉頰，暗淡的眼睛，卻沒有淚痕。
I suppose, then, your heart has been weeping blood?"
那么我猜想，你的心一定哭泣著在流血？
"Well, Jane! not a word of reproach? Nothing bitter -- nothing poignant?
“聽著，簡(jiǎn)，沒有一句責(zé)備的話嗎？沒有尖刻、辛辣的言詞？
Nothing to cut a feeling or sting a passion?
沒有挫傷感情或者打擊熱情的字眼？
You sit quietly where I have placed you, and regard me with a weary, passive look."
你靜靜地坐在我讓你坐的地方，無精打采地看著我。”
"Jane, I never meant to wound you thus.
“簡(jiǎn)，我決不想這么傷害你。
If the man who had but one little ewe lamb that was dear to him as a daughter,
要是某人有一頭親如女兒的母羊，
that ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and lay in his bosom, had by some mistake slaughtered it at the shambles,
吃他的面包皮，飲用他的杯子，躺在他懷抱里，而由于某種疏忽，在屠場(chǎng)里宰了它，
he would not have rued his bloody blunder more than I now rue mine. Will you ever forgive me?"
他對(duì)血的錯(cuò)誤的悔恨決不會(huì)超過我現(xiàn)在的悔恨，你能寬恕我嗎？”
Reader, I forgave him at the moment and on the spot.
讀者！我當(dāng)時(shí)當(dāng)?shù)鼐蛯捤×怂?/div>
There was such deep remorse in his eye, such true pity in his tone, such manly energy in his manner;
他的目光隱含著那么深沉的懺悔；語調(diào)里透出這樣真實(shí)的憾意，舉止中富有如此男子氣的活力。
and besides, there was such unchanged love in his whole look and mien
此外，他的整個(gè)神態(tài)和風(fēng)度中流露出那么矢志不移的愛情，
I forgave him all: yet not in words, not outwardly; only at my heart's core.
我全都寬恕了他，不過沒有訴諸語言，沒有表露出來，而只是掩藏在心底里。
