"Concealing the mad-woman's neighbourhood from you,
“然而，把瘋女人的住處瞞著你，
however, was something like covering a child with a cloak and laying it down near a upas-tree:
不過是像用斗篷把一個孩子蓋起來，把它放在一棵箭毒樹旁邊，
that demon's vicinage is poisoned, and always was.
那魔鬼把四周都毒化了，而只毒氣不散，
But I'll shut up Thornfield Hall: I'll nail up the front door and board the lower windows:
不過我將關閉桑菲爾德府，我要用釘子封住前門，用板條蓋沒矮窗。
I'll give Mrs. Poole two hundred a year to live here with my wife, as you term that fearful hag:
我要給普爾太太二百英鎊一年，讓她同我的妻子--你稱之為可怕的女巫，一起生活。
Grace will do much for money, and she shall have her son, the keeper at Grimsby Retreat, to bear her company
只要給錢，格雷斯愿意干很多事，而且她可以讓她在格里姆斯比收容所看門的兒子來作伴，
and be at hand to give her aid in the paroxysms,
格雷斯身邊好歹也有個幫手，
when my wife is prompted by her familiar to burn people in their beds at night,
我的妻子發作的時候，譬如受妖精的啟發要把人們夜晚燒死在床上，
to stab them, to bite their flesh from their bones, and so on..."
用刀刺他們，從骨頭上把肉咬下來的時候...”
"Sir," I interrupted him, "you are inexorable for that unfortunate lady:
“先生，”我打斷他說，“對那個不幸的女人來說，你實在冷酷無情。
you speak of her with hate -- with vindictive antipathy. It is cruel -- she cannot help being mad."
你一談起她就恨恨地--勢不兩立。那很殘酷--她發瘋也是身不由己的。”
