'How so? I cannot escort you. They wouldn't let me go to the end of the garden wall.'

“為什么？我不能去送你。他們不會讓我走到花園的墻角。”

'YOU! I should be sorry to ask you to cross the threshold, for my convenience, on such a night,' I cried. 'I want you to tell me my way, not to SHOW it: or else to persuade Mr. Heathcliff to give me a guide.'

“你！為了我自己的便利，而然你在這樣的天氣走出大門，我真該感到慚愧。”我叫到，“我只是想讓你告訴路在哪里，并不是讓你指給我看；或者你可以說服希斯克利夫先生派個向導給我。”

'Who? There is himself, Earnshaw, Zillah, Joseph and I. Which would you have?'

“誰？他自己，恩肖，齊拉，約瑟夫和我。你想要哪個呢？”

'Are there no boys at the farm?'

“這個農場上就沒有小伙子嗎？”

'No; those are all.'

“沒有，一個都沒有。”

'Then, it follows that I am compelled to stay.'

“那么，這樣得話我就被迫留下來了，”

'That you may settle with your host. I have nothing to do with it.'

“這個你得和你得主人談，與我無關。”

'I hope it will be a lesson to you to make no more rash journeys on these hills,' cried Heathcliff's stern voice from the kitchen entrance. 'As to staying here, I don't keep accommodations for visitors: you must share a bed with Hareton or Joseph, if you do.'

“我希望這會給你一個教訓，在這個山區不要輕率得出行。”希斯克利夫嚴厲的聲音從廚房入口傳來，“如果要住在這里，我沒有客房,如果你愿意留下來的話，你得和海爾頓或約瑟夫同睡。”

'I can sleep on a chair in this room,' I replied.

“我可以在這個房間的椅子上睡。”我回答道。

'No, no! A stranger is a stranger, be he rich or poor: it will not suit me to permit any one the range of the place while I am off guard!' said the unmannerly wretch.

“不，不！謀生人總歸是陌生人，無論貧富。我是不會允許陌生人在我的監視之外活動的。”那個不幸的人無禮的說道。
