Chinese → English CHAPTER I Level 8/10

铃声发出微弱的叮当声,仿佛是用锡而非铜制成的。

The bell gave a faint tinkle as though it were made of tin and not of copper.

这类房子里的小套间总是有这样叮当作响的门铃。

The little flats in such houses always have bells that ring like that.

他已经忘记了那门铃的声调,而此刻那独特的叮当声仿佛在提醒他什么,使某件事清晰地浮现在他眼前……

He had forgotten the note of that bell, and now its peculiar tinkle seemed to remind him of something and to bring it clearly before him....

他打了个激灵——他的神经此时已经紧绷到了极点。

He started, his nerves were terribly overstrained by now.

不一会儿,门开了一条细缝:老太婆透过门缝用明显的不信任目光打量着来访者,只能看见她的一双小眼睛在黑暗中闪着光。

In a little while, the door was opened a tiny crack: the old woman eyed her visitor with evident distrust through the crack, and nothing could be seen but her little eyes, glittering in the darkness.

但看到楼梯平台上站着好几个人,她胆子大了起来,把门开得大了。

But, seeing a number of people on the landing, she grew bolder, and opened the door wide.

那年轻人走进黑暗的门厅,门厅与小厨房之间有一道隔板。

The young man stepped into the dark entry, which was partitioned off from the tiny kitchen.

老太婆默默地站在他对面,用询问的目光打量着他。

The old woman stood facing him in silence and looking inquiringly at him.

她是个六十岁左右的矮小干瘪的老太婆,长着一双锐利凶狠的眼睛和一只尖尖的小鼻子。

She was a diminutive, withered up old woman of sixty, with sharp malignant eyes and a sharp little nose.

她那灰白相间、略显花白的头发上厚厚地抹着油,头上没有戴任何头巾。

Her colourless, somewhat grizzled hair was thickly smeared with oil, and she wore no kerchief over it.

她那细长的脖颈看起来像鸡腿一般,上面缠着一块法兰绒破布,尽管天气炎热,她的肩上却还披挂着一件因年代久远而发黄的破旧皮披肩,随风拍打着。

Round her thin long neck, which looked like a hen's leg, was knotted some sort of flannel rag, and, in spite of the heat, there hung flapping on her shoulders, a mangy fur cape, yellow with age.

老太婆每时每刻都在咳嗽和呻吟。

The old woman coughed and groaned at every instant.
