"Now, sir, proceed; what did you do when you found she was mad?"
“好，先生，說(shuō)下去，你發(fā)現(xiàn)她瘋了以后怎么辦呢？”
"Jane, I approached the verge of despair; a remnant of self-respect was all that intervened between me and the gulf.
“簡(jiǎn)--我到了絕望的邊緣，能把我和深淵隔開的就只剩自尊了。
In the eyes of the world, I was doubtless covered with grimy dishonour; but I resolved to be clean in my own sight
在世人的眼里，無(wú)疑我已是名譽(yù)掃地，但我決心在自己眼里保持清白
and to the last I repudiated the contamination of her crimes, and wrenched myself from connection with her mental defects.
我終于拒絕接受她的罪孽的感染，掙脫了同她神經(jīng)缺陷的聯(lián)系。
Still, society associated my name and person with hers;
但社會(huì)依然把我的名字，我本人和她捆在一起，
I yet saw her and heard her daily: something of her breath (faugh!) mixed with the air I breathed;
我仍舊天天看到她，聽到她。她呼吸的一部分（呸！）混雜在我呼吸的空氣中。
and besides, I remembered I had once been her husband
此外，我還記得我曾是她的丈夫
that recollection was then, and is now, inexpressibly odious to me;
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)這種聯(lián)想過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在都有說(shuō)不出的憎惡。
moreover, I knew that while she lived I could never be the husband of another and better wife;
而且我知道，只要她還活著，我就永遠(yuǎn)不能成為另一個(gè)更好的妻子的丈夫。
and, though five years my senior (her family and her father had lied to me even in the particular of her age),
盡管她比我大五歲（她的家庭和她的父親甚至在她年齡細(xì)節(jié)上也騙了我），
she was likely to live as long as I, being as robust in frame as she was infirm in mind.
她很可能跟我活得一樣長(zhǎng)，因?yàn)樗m然頭腦衰弱，但體魄強(qiáng)健。
Thus, at the age of twenty-six, I was hopeless."
于是在二十六歲的年紀(jì)上，我便全然無(wú)望了。
