Selected Scene 1
場景1
In Mr. Rochester's garden at night.
夜里，在羅切斯特先生的花園里。
Rochester: Still awake?
羅切斯特：還沒睡？
Jane: I could not sleep until I knew you were safe. How is Mr. Mason?
簡：我等你平安回來才能睡著。梅森先生怎么樣？
Rochester: He will be all right. He is with the doctor.
羅切斯特：他會好的，他和醫生在一起。
Jane: And the danger you thought were in last night? Is that past?
簡：你昨晚說遇到了危險？那過去了嗎?
Rochester: I can't vouch for that until Mason is out of England, which will be soon, I hope.
羅切斯特：梅森離開英國，我才能保證，我希望他盡早離開。
Jane: He did not seem a man willfully to injure you.
簡：他不像是一個存心傷害你的人。
Rochester: No. But unintentionally he might. Sit down.
羅切斯特：是。可他也許在無意中傷害了我，坐下。
Jane: And what of Grace Poor? Why do you keep her on here?
簡：格雷斯·普爾是怎么回事？你為什么把她留在這里？
Rochester: I have no choice.
羅切斯特：我別無選擇。
Jane: But sure you do...
簡：可你完全可以……
Rochester: Stay with me for a while. Don't press me for answering that. I count on you more than you know. Advise me, Jane. I'll put a case to you of a boy, a young man, spoiled and indulged from youth to commit a capital error. I don't say crime but error. The consequences are dreadful. The only escape is exile and sense of pleasure. And then he meets a woman. A fine woman with qualities he has never met in 20 years. He has a chance of living like a human being again. Only convention stands in the way. Can he ask her to defy it?
羅切斯特：跟我呆一會兒，別逼我回答那個。你不知道我是多么指望你。簡，給我出出主意。我把這樣一個案子交給你，有一個男孩，一個年輕人，從小就被寵壞了。他犯了一個大錯，我是說錯誤，不是罪惡，這后果非常可怕。唯一的逃避方法就是背井離鄉、尋歡作樂。后來，他遇到了一個女人，20年來他從未見過的一個好女人。他有了一次重新做人的機會。只是習俗阻礙了他們。他能要求她蔑視這個嗎？
Jane: You talk of yourself, Mr. Rochester.
簡：你在說自己，羅切斯特先生。
Rochester: Yes.
羅切斯特：對。
Jane: We are each responsible to God for our actions, and I don't think we could ask God to share the burdens, least of all, Miss Ingram.
簡：我們自己的行動都要各自向上帝負責，我想我們不能要求上帝分擔那些責任，更不能要求英格拉小姐。
Rochester: Don't you think if I married her, she would regenerate me with a vengeance?
羅切斯特：你不認為如果我娶了她，她會使我徹底獲得新生嗎？
Jane: Since you ask me, sir, no, I do not.
簡：既然你問我，先生，不，我不這樣認為。
Rochester: You do not like her. You can be honest.
羅切斯特：你不喜歡她。你可以實話實說。
Jane: I don't think she is for you.
簡：我認為她不配你。
Rochester: Presumptions. And who is for me then? Have you seen someone you can recommend?
羅切斯特：自以為是。那誰配我呢？你有什么人可以推薦嗎？
