Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 3
她大约八点钟回到家中，当有人询问她在哪里过的夜时，她回答说她一直在寻找那个孩子，并急切地追问是否有关于他的任何消息。
She returned to the house about eight o'clock, and when one inquired where she had passed the night, she replied that she had been looking for the child and demanded earnestly if anything had been heard concerning him.
当人们将遗体展示给她看时，她陷入了剧烈的歇斯底里，卧床数日。
When shown the body, she fell into violent hysterics and kept her bed for several days.
随后，仆人在她口袋里发现的那幅画像被呈堂为证；当伊丽莎白用颤抖的声音证明，就在孩子失踪前一个小时，她曾将这幅画像挂在他的颈上时，法庭中顿时响起一片恐惧与义愤的低鸣。
The picture was then produced which the servant had found in her pocket; and when Elizabeth, in a faltering voice, proved that it was the same which, an hour before the child had been missed, she had placed round his neck, a murmur of horror and indignation filled the court.
贾斯汀被传唤为自己辩护。随着审判的推进，她的神情发生了变化，脸上强烈地流露出惊愕、恐惧与痛苦。
Justine was called on for her defence. As the trial had proceeded, her countenance had altered. Surprise, horror, and misery were strongly expressed.
她有时强忍泪水，但当被要求进行答辩时，她振作起精神，以清晰却略显不稳的声音开口说话。
Sometimes she struggled with her tears, but when she was desired to plead, she collected her powers and spoke in an audible although variable voice.
