Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 5

Chinese → English Chapter 10 Level 7/10

大海,或者说那条巨大的冰河,蜿蜒流淌于群山之间,山峰高耸入云,俯瞰着冰河深处。

The sea, or rather the vast river of ice, wound among its dependent mountains, whose aerial summits hung over its recesses.

山峰冰冷而晶莹,在云层之上闪耀着阳光的光辉。

Their icy and glittering peaks shone in the sunlight over the clouds.

我的心,此前满是悲伤,此刻却涌起一种近乎喜悦的情感;我呼喊道:

My heart, which was before sorrowful, now swelled with something like joy; I exclaimed,

「游荡的精灵们,若你们果真在游荡,而非安眠于狭窄的墓床,请赐我这一丝微薄的快慰,或带我离开人世的欢乐,与你们同行。」

"Wandering spirits, if indeed ye wander, and do not rest in your narrow beds, allow me this faint happiness, or take me, as your companion, away from the joys of life."

就在我说出这番话的时候,我突然看见远处有一个人影,正以超乎常人的速度向我奔来。

As I said this I suddenly beheld the figure of a man, at some distance, advancing towards me with superhuman speed.

他纵身跃过冰面上的裂缝——那些我曾小心翼翼绕行的裂缝;随着他逐渐靠近,他的身形似乎也超越了常人的高度。

He bounded over the crevices in the ice, among which I had walked with caution; his stature, also, as he approached, seemed to exceed that of man.

我心神不宁;眼前一片迷蒙,感到一阵晕眩袭来,好在山间的寒风很快使我恢复了清醒。

I was troubled; a mist came over my eyes, and I felt a faintness seize me, but I was quickly restored by the cold gale of the mountains.

随着那身影越来越近(那令人战栗、令人憎恶的景象!),我看清了——那正是我亲手创造的那个怪物。

I perceived, as the shape came nearer (sight tremendous and abhorred!) that it was the wretch whom I had created.

我因愤怒与恐惧而浑身颤抖,决意等他走近,便与他展开一场殊死搏斗。

I trembled with rage and horror, resolving to wait his approach and then close with him in mortal combat.

他走近了;他的面容流露出深切的痛苦,夹杂着轻蔑与凶戾,而那非人的丑陋更使这张脸几乎令人无法直视。

He approached; his countenance bespoke bitter anguish, combined with disdain and malignity, while its unearthly ugliness rendered it almost too horrible for human eyes.

但我几乎无暇顾及这些;愤怒与仇恨起初令我哑口无言,待我回过神来,便以激烈的言辞将满腔的憎恶与蔑视倾泻而出,向他猛烈抨击。

But I scarcely observed this; rage and hatred had at first deprived me of utterance, and I recovered only to overwhelm him with words expressive of furious detestation and contempt.
