"One night I had been awakened by her yells
“一天夜里我被她的叫喊驚醒了
(since the medical men had pronounced her mad, she had, of course, been shut up)
（自從醫(yī)生宣布她瘋了以后，她當然是被關起來了）
it was a fiery West Indian night; one of the description that frequently precede the hurricanes of those climates.
那是西印度群島火燎似的夜晚，這種天氣常常是颶風到來的前奏。
Being unable to sleep in bed, I got up and opened the window.
我難以入睡，便爬起來開了窗。
The air was like sulphur-steams -- I could find no refreshment anywhere.
空氣像含硫的蒸氣--到處都讓人提不起神來。
Mosquitoes came buzzing in and hummed sullenly round the room;
蚊子嗡嗡的飛進來，陰沉地在房間里打轉(zhuǎn)。
the sea, which I could hear from thence, rumbled dull like an earthquake -- black clouds were casting up over it;
在那兒我能聽到大海之聲，像地震一般沉悶地隆隆響著。黑云在大海上空集結(jié)，
the moon was setting in the waves, broad and red, like a hot cannon-ball
月亮沉落在寬闊的紅色波浪上，像一個滾燙的炮彈，
she threw her last bloody glance over a world quivering with the ferment of tempest.
向顫抖著正醞釀風暴的海洋，投去血色的目光。
I was physically influenced by the atmosphere and scene,
我確實深受這種氣氛和景色的感染，
and my ears were filled with the curses the maniac still shrieked out;
而我的耳朵卻充斥著瘋子尖叫著的咒罵聲。
wherein she momentarily mingled my name with such a tone of demon-hate, with such language!
咒罵中夾雜著我的名字，語調(diào)里那么充滿仇恨，語言又那么骯臟！
no professed harlot ever had a fouler vocabulary than she: though two rooms off, I heard every word
沒有一個以賣淫為業(yè)的妓女，會使用比她更污穢的字眼，盡管隔了兩個房間，我每個字都聽得清清楚楚，
the thin partitions of the West India house opposing but slight obstruction to her wolfish cries."
西印度群島薄薄的隔板絲毫擋不住她狼一般的嚎叫。
