Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 2
我在小溪边解了渴，然后躺下，便沉沉睡去。
I slaked my thirst at the brook, and then lying down, was overcome by sleep.
我醒来时天色已暗；我感到寒冷，又有几分惊慌，仿佛出于本能，发现自己如此孤立无援。
It was dark when I awoke; I felt cold also, and half frightened, as it were, instinctively, finding myself so desolate.
在我离开你的房间之前，因感到寒意，我已用一些衣物裹住了自己，但这些衣物不足以抵御夜间的露水。
Before I had quitted your apartment, on a sensation of cold, I had covered myself with some clothes, but these were insufficient to secure me from the dews of night.
我是一个可怜、无助、悲惨的人；我什么也不知道，什么也分辨不清；只感到四面八方袭来的痛苦，便坐下来哭泣。
I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; I knew, and could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept.
不久，一道柔和的光芒悄然笼罩天际，给我带来一种愉悦的感觉。
Soon a gentle light stole over the heavens and gave me a sensation of pleasure.
我猛地站起身，望见一个光辉灿烂的形体从树丛中冉冉升起。
I started up and beheld a radiant form rise from among the trees.
【那是月亮】我带着一种惊奇的目光凝视着它。
[The moon] I gazed with a kind of wonder.
它缓缓移动，却照亮了我的路，我再次出发去寻找浆果。
It moved slowly, but it enlightened my path, and I again went out in search of berries.
我依然感到寒冷，这时我在一棵树下发现了一件厚重的斗篷，便用它裹住自己，坐在地上。
I was still cold when under one of the trees I found a huge cloak, with which I covered myself, and sat down upon the ground.
我脑海中没有任何清晰的念头，一切都是混沌一片。
No distinct ideas occupied my mind; all was confused.
我感受到光与暗、饥与渴；无数声音在耳边回响，四面八方各种气味扑鼻而来；我唯一能辨认的东西就是那皎洁的月亮，我愉悦地将目光定格在它身上。
I felt light, and hunger, and thirst, and darkness; innumerable sounds rang in my ears, and on all sides various scents saluted me; the only object that I could distinguish was the bright moon, and I fixed my eyes on that with pleasure.
数度昼夜交替过去，夜空中的圆月已大为亏缺，而我也开始能够将各种感觉相互区分开来。
Several changes of day and night passed, and the orb of night had greatly lessened, when I began to distinguish my sensations from each other.
