Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 2
听到这个词，费利克斯急忙走向那位女士，她一见到他，便掀起了面纱，我看见了一张天使般美丽动人的面孔。
On hearing this word, Felix came up hastily to the lady, who, when she saw him, threw up her veil, and I beheld a countenance of angelic beauty and expression.
她的头发乌黑发亮，编结精巧；她的眼睛深邃而温柔，透着生动的神采；她的五官比例匀称，肤色白皙得惊人，双颊各染着一抹可爱的粉红。
Her hair of a shining raven black, and curiously braided; her eyes were dark, but gentle, although animated; her features of a regular proportion, and her complexion wondrously fair, each cheek tinged with a lovely pink.
费利克斯见到她时，似乎欣喜若狂，脸上所有悲伤的痕迹瞬间消散，立刻流露出一种狂喜之情，那是我几乎难以相信他能表现出来的；他的双眼闪闪发光，双颊因喜悦而泛红；那一刻，我觉得他与那位陌生女子一样美丽。
Felix seemed ravished with delight when he saw her, every trait of sorrow vanished from his face, and it instantly expressed a degree of ecstatic joy, of which I could hardly have believed it capable; his eyes sparkled, as his cheek flushed with pleasure; and at that moment I thought him as beautiful as the stranger.
她似乎也被不同的情感所触动；她从美丽的眼中拭去几滴泪水，向费利克斯伸出手，他热烈地吻了她的手，并称呼她——我能辨别出来——为他亲爱的阿拉伯女郎。
She appeared affected by different feelings; wiping a few tears from her lovely eyes, she held out her hand to Felix, who kissed it rapturously and called her, as well as I could distinguish, his sweet Arabian.
她似乎听不懂他的话，只是微笑着。他扶她下马，遣走了她的向导，领着她走进了小屋。
She did not appear to understand him, but smiled. He assisted her to dismount, and dismissing her guide, conducted her into the cottage.
他与父亲之间进行了一番交谈，年轻的陌生女子跪倒在老人脚边，想要吻他的手，但老人将她扶起，深情地拥抱了她。
Some conversation took place between him and his father, and the young stranger knelt at the old man's feet and would have kissed his hand, but he raised her and embraced her affectionately.
我很快便发现，尽管这位陌生女子能发出清晰的声音，似乎也有自己的语言，但她既听不懂农舍里的人，那里的人也听不懂她。
I soon perceived that although the stranger uttered articulate sounds and appeared to have a language of her own, she was neither understood by nor herself understood the cottagers.
