沃爾頓船長的記錄
Chapter 15
第15章
I,Captain Robert Walton,have added this final note to the story.When you have read it, you will know that Victor Frankenstein's story was true.
我,羅伯特·沃爾頓船長已給該故事加了如下記錄。讀過后,你就會知道維克多·弗蘭肯斯坦的故事是真實的。
Victor Frankenstein died a few hours after he had written his last word.I was sad to see him die, because he had become a good friend.But he will not be unhappy or in pain any more,and I am happy for him
維克多·弗蘭肯斯坦在寫完他最后一個字幾小時后便死去了。看到他死去我很傷心,因為他已經成了我的好朋友。然而,他將不再會有傷心和痛苦了,因此我為他而高興。
We laid his body in a cabin near my own.Later I heard a voice coming from the cabin.I went into the cabin and saw a huge shape standins over the dead body.I knew that the horrible creature which was standing there was Frankenstein's monster.
我們把他的尸體放在了我旁邊的船艙里。后來我聽到了從船艙里發出的響聲。我走進那個船艙,看見尸體旁站著一個巨大的身軀。我知道站在那兒的那個令人恐怖的家伙就是弗蘭肯斯坦的那個怪物。
"So I have killed you,too,"the monster said to Frankenstein's body."Oh, Frankenstein,forgive me.How I wish you could answer me."
“這樣一來我把你也殺了。”怪物對著弗蘭肯斯坦的尸體說道,“噢,弗蘭肯斯坦,請原諒我。我多么希望你能回答我。”
I went towards him,and said:"It is too late for Frankenstein to forgive you.He is dead.His pain is ended."
我走近他說道:“讓弗蘭肯斯坦原諒你已經太晚了。他已經死了,痛苦已經結束了。”
