She fell at length into a profound slumber, motionless and apparently breathless, her head resting in my lap.
后來，她陷入深睡，一動不動，好像沒了氣息，她的頭還搭在我的膝蓋上；
I myself could no longer resist the inclination to sleep, in spite of the continual roar of the cannon.
我自己也感到難以克制的昏昏欲睡，盡管周圍炮聲隆隆。
Suddenly I was aroused by a wild, unearthly scream close to my ear;
猛然，一聲發(fā)狂怪異的尖叫刺入我的耳膜，
my companion stood upright beside me, her arms raised, and her head bent forward in the attitude of listening.
杰西.布朗竟筆直地站起，立在我的身邊，她的雙臂高舉，頭部往前彎曲，好像在傾聽什么。
A look of intense delight broke over her countenance;
她的臉上突然現(xiàn)出難以克制的興奮，
she grasped my hand, drew me toward her, and exclaimed: Dinna ye hear it? dinna ye hear it?
緊緊抓住我的手，把我往她身邊拖拽，一邊尖聲高叫：“迪娜，聽見嗎？你聽見嗎？
Ay. I'm no dreaming: it's the slogan o' the Highlanders! We're saved! we're saved!
喂，我絕不是在做夢，這是蘇格蘭高地人的廣播！我們得救了！我們得救了！
Then flinging herself on her knees, she thanked God with passionate fervor.
說時遲，那時快，她撲通跪倒在地，感謝上帝的仁慈，情緒那么亢奮激昂。
I felt utterly bewildered; my English ears heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought my poor Jessie was still raving;
此刻，我手足無措地站在旁邊，我那聽慣英語的耳朵，耳邊只有炮聲的滾滾轟鳴。我原以為可憐的杰西還在胡言亂語，
but she darted to the batteries, and I heard her cry incessantly to the men,
她驀然飛一般沖到街壘邊，對那些荷槍實彈的男人們大聲喊道：
Courage! courage! Hark to the slogan—to the Macgregor, the grandest of them a'! Here's help at last!
加油！勇敢些！你們聽到廣播嗎？那是麥格雷戈的聲音，他是最棒的！我們的救兵終于來了！
