Beside the crag the heath was very deep: when I lay down my feet were buried in it;
巖石旁邊，歐石南長得很高。我一躺下，雙腳便陷了進去，
rising high on each side, it left only a narrow space for the night-air to invade.
兩邊的石楠高高堅起，只留下很窄的一塊地方要受夜氣侵襲。
I folded my shawl double, and spread it over me for a coverlet; a low, mossy swell was my pillow.
我把披肩一摺為二，鋪在身上作蓋被，一個長滿青苔的低矮小墩當了枕頭。
Thus lodged, I was not, at least -- at the commencement of the night, cold.
我就這么住下了，至少在夜剛來臨時，是覺得冷的。
My rest might have been blissful enough, only a sad heart broke it.
我的安息本來也許是夠幸福的，可惜讓一顆悲傷的心破壞了，
It plained of its gaping wounds, its inward bleeding, its riven chords.
它泣訴著自己張開的傷口、流血的心扉、折斷的心弦。
It trembled for Mr. Rochester and his doom; it bemoaned him with bitter pity; it demanded him with ceaseless longing;
它為羅切斯特先生和他的滅亡而顫抖，因為痛惜而為他慟哭。它帶著無休止的渴望召喚他，
and, impotent as a bird with both wings broken, it still quivered its shattered pinions in vain attempts to seek him.
盡管它像斷了雙翅的小鳥那樣無能為力，卻仍舊抖動著斷翅，徒勞地找尋著他。
Worn out with this torture of thought, I rose to my knees.
我被這種念頭折磨得疲乏不堪，于是便起來跪著。
Night was come, and her planets were risen: a safe, still night: too serene for the companionship of fear.
夜已來臨，星星已經升起，這是一個平安寧靜的夜，平靜得與恐怖無緣。
We know that God is everywhere;
我們知道上帝無處不在，
but certainly we feel his presence most when his works are on the grandest scale spread before us;
但當他的勞作壯麗地展現在我們面前時，我們才最感覺到他的存在。
and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course,
在萬里無云的夜空中，在他的宇宙無聲地滾滾向前的地方，
that we read clearest his infinitude, his omnipotence, his omnipresence.
我們清楚地看到了他的無邊無涯，他的萬能，他無處不在。
