Dracula — Page 7
出发时间已经很近了，我没有时间再去问别人，因为这一切都非常神秘，根本没有任何令人宽慰的地方。
It was so near the time of starting that I had no time to ask any one else, for it was all very mysterious and not by any means comforting.
就在我即将离开之前，那位老太太走进我的房间，用一种非常歇斯底里的方式说道：
Just before I was leaving, the old lady came up to my room and said in a very hysterical way:
"您一定要走吗？哦！年轻的先生，您一定要走吗？"
"Must you go? Oh! young Herr, must you go?"
她激动到似乎已经忘记了自己懂的那点德语，把它和另一种我完全听不懂的语言混在了一起。
She was in such an excited state that she seemed to have lost her grip of what German she knew, and mixed it all up with some other language which I did not know at all.
我只能通过不断追问才勉强听懂她的意思。
I was just able to follow her by asking many questions.
当我告诉她我必须立刻离开，而且我正在处理一件重要的事务时，她又问道：
When I told her that I must go at once, and that I was engaged on important business, she asked again:
"您知道今天是什么日子吗？"我回答说是五月四日。
"Do you know what day it is?" I answered that it was the fourth of May.
她摇了摇头，又说道：
She shook her head as she said again:
"哦，是的！我知道日期！我知道日期，但您知道今天是什么日子吗？"
"Oh, yes! I know that! I know that, but do you know what day it is?"
我说我不明白她的意思，她便继续说道：
On my saying that I did not understand, she went on:
"今天是圣乔治节前夕。您难道不知道，今晚午夜钟声敲响之时，世间所有邪恶之物都将肆意横行吗？您知道自己要去哪里，又将面对什么吗？"
"It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that to-night, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway? Do you know where you are going, and what you are going to?"
她明显陷入了极度痛苦之中，我试图安慰她，却毫无效果。
She was in such evident distress that I tried to comfort her, but without effect.
