The recollection of about three days and nights succeeding this is very dim in my mind.
這以后的三天三夜，我腦子里的記憶很模糊。
I can recall some sensations felt in that interval; but few thoughts framed, and no actions performed.
我能回憶起那段時間一鱗半爪的感覺，但形不成什么想法，付諸不了行動。
I knew I was in a small room and in a narrow bed.
我知道自己在一個小房間里，躺在狹窄的床上。
To that bed I seemed to have grown; I lay on it motionless as a stone;
我與那張床似乎已難舍難分。我躺著一動不動，像塊石頭，
and to have torn me from it would have been almost to kill me.
把我從那兒掙開，幾乎等于要我的命。
I took no note of the lapse of time -- of the change from morning to noon, from noon to evening.
我并不在乎時間的流逝--不在乎上午轉為下午、下午轉為晚上的變化。
I observed when any one entered or left the apartment: I could even tell who they were;
我觀察別人進出房間，甚至還能分辨出他們是誰，
I could understand what was said when the speaker stood near to me; but I could not answer;
能聽懂別人在我身旁所說的話，但回答不上來。
to open my lips or move my limbs was equally impossible.
動嘴唇與動手腳一樣不行。
Hannah, the servant, was my most frequent visitor. Her coming disturbed me.
傭人漢娜來得最多，她一來就使我感到不安。
I had a feeling that she wished me away: that she did not understand me or my circumstances; that she was prejudiced against me.
我有一種感覺，她希望我走。她不了解我和我的處境，對我懷有偏見。
Diana and Mary appeared in the chamber once or twice a day.
黛安娜和瑪麗每天到房間來一兩回。
They would whisper sentences of this sort at my bedside: "It is very well we took her in."
她們會在我床邊悄聲說著這一類話：“幸好我們把她收留下來了。”
"Yes; she would certainly have been found dead at the door in the morning had she been left out all night.
“是呀，要是她整夜給關在房子外面，第二天早晨準會死有門口。
I wonder what she has gone through?"
不知道她吃了什么苦頭?！?/div>
"Strange hardships, I imagine -- poor, emaciated, pallid wanderer?"
“我想象是少見的苦頭吧，消瘦、蒼白、可憐的流浪者！”
"She is not an uneducated person, I should think, by her manner of speaking; her accent was quite pure;
“從她說話的神態看，我認為她不是一個沒有受過教育的人、她的口音很純。
and the clothes she took off, though splashed and wet, were little worn and fine."
她脫下的衣服雖然濕淋淋濺了泥，但不舊，而且很精致?！?/div>
"She has a peculiar face; fleshless and haggard as it is, I rather like it;
“她的臉很奇特，盡管皮包骨頭又很憔悴，但我比較喜歡。
and when in good health and animated, I can fancy her physiognomy would be agreeable."
可以想見她健康而有生氣時、面孔一定很可愛?！?/p>
