Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 4

Chinese → English Chapter 13 Level 7/10

第二天早晨,费利克斯出去工作了,阿加莎做完日常家务之后,这位阿拉伯女子坐在老人脚边,拿起吉他,弹奏了几首曲子,那旋律美得令人心醉,顿时让我眼中涌出了悲喜交织的泪水。

The next morning Felix went out to his work, and after the usual occupations of Agatha were finished, the Arabian sat at the feet of the old man, and taking his guitar, played some airs so entrancingly beautiful that they at once drew tears of sorrow and delight from my eyes.

她唱起歌来,歌声如林中夜莺般时而高亢,时而低回,流淌出丰富而优美的旋律。

She sang, and her voice flowed in a rich cadence, swelling or dying away like a nightingale of the woods.

她唱完之后,把吉他递给阿加莎,阿加莎起初推辞不受。

When she had finished, she gave the guitar to Agatha, who at first declined it.

她弹奏了一首简单的曲子,用甜美的声调随之伴唱,但与那位陌生女子奇妙的歌声截然不同。

She played a simple air, and her voice accompanied it in sweet accents, but unlike the wondrous strain of the stranger.

老人显得陶醉其中,说了些话,阿加莎努力将这些话解释给萨菲听,他似乎想借此表达:她的音乐带给他莫大的欢愉。

The old man appeared enraptured and said some words which Agatha endeavoured to explain to Safie, and by which he appeared to wish to express that she bestowed on him the greatest delight by her music.

日子如今像从前一样平静地流逝,唯一的变化是,朋友们脸上的忧愁已被欢颜所取代。

The days now passed as peaceably as before, with the sole alteration that joy had taken place of sadness in the countenances of my friends.

萨菲总是开朗而快乐;她和我在语言知识方面都进步迅速,两个月后,我开始能听懂保护者们所说的大多数话语。

Safie was always gay and happy; she and I improved rapidly in the knowledge of language, so that in two months I began to comprehend most of the words uttered by my protectors.
