I think those day visions were not dark:
我想白天的光線并不很暗，
there was a pleasurable illumination in your eye occasionally, a soft excitement in your aspect,
你的眼睛里時而映現出一種愉悅的光，面容里露出柔和的興奮，
which told of no bitter, bilious, hypochondriac brooding:
表明這不是一種痛苦、暴躁、疑病癥式的沉思。
your look revealed rather the sweet musings of youth
你的目光中透出一種青春的甜蜜思索，
when its spirit follows on willing wings the flight of Hope up and on to an ideal heaven.
心甘情愿的翅膀載著青春的心靈，追逐著希望的蹤影，不斷登高，飛向理想的天國。
The voice of Mrs. Fairfax, speaking to a servant in the hall, wakened you:
費爾法克斯太太在大廳里同仆人說話的聲音把你驚醒了，
and how curiously you smiled to and at yourself, Janet!
而你奇怪地獨自笑著，也笑你自己，珍妮特。
There was much sense in your smile: it was very shrewd, and seemed to make light of your own abstraction.
你的微笑意味深長，十分敏銳，也似乎是笑你自己走了神。
It seemed to say -- 'My fine visions are all very well, but I must not forget they are absolutely unreal.
它仿佛說，‘我所看到的美好景象盡管不錯，但我決不能忘記這是絕對虛假的。
I have a rosy sky and a green flowery Eden in my brain;
在我的腦海里，有一個玫瑰式的天空，一個紅花綠草的伊甸園；
but without, I am perfectly aware, lies at my feet a rough tract to travel,
但在外面，我完全意識到，腳下有一條坎坷的路要走，
and around me gather black tempests to encounter.'
有著漸漸聚攏的黑色風暴要面對。’
You ran downstairs and demanded of Mrs. Fairfax some occupation:
你跑到了樓下，向費爾法克斯太太要些事兒干干，
the weekly house accounts to make up, or something of that sort, I think it was.
我想是清算一周的家庭帳目，或者諸如此類的事情。
I was vexed with you for getting out of my sight.
你跑出了我的視線之外，我對你很生氣。”
