Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 7

Chinese → English Chapter 16 Level 7/10

你赋予了我感知与情感,却将我抛入世间,成为人类鄙视与恐惧的对象。

You had endowed me with perceptions and passions and then cast me abroad an object for the scorn and horror of mankind.

但我唯独只能向你寻求怜悯与补偿,我也决心向你索取那正义——那我从任何其他有人形的生灵处徒劳寻求却未能得到的正义。

But on you only had I any claim for pity and redress, and from you I determined to seek that justice which I vainly attempted to gain from any other being that wore the human form.

我的旅途漫长,所受的苦难也极为深重。

My travels were long and the sufferings I endured intense.

当我离开那个久居之地时,已是深秋时节。

It was late in autumn when I quitted the district where I had so long resided.

我只在夜间赶路,生怕与任何人的面孔相遇。

I travelled only at night, fearful of encountering the visage of a human being.

大自然在我周围凋零衰败,太阳也失去了温热;雨雪倾泻而下;大河冰封;大地的表面坚硬、寒冷而荒芜,我无处可以栖身。

Nature decayed around me, and the sun became heatless; rain and snow poured around me; mighty rivers were frozen; the surface of the earth was hard and chill, and bare, and I found no shelter.

啊,大地!我曾多少次诅咒那造就我存在的根源!

Oh, earth! How often did I imprecate curses on the cause of my being!

我本性中的温和已然消散,内心深处一切都化为了苦涩与怨毒。

The mildness of my nature had fled, and all within me was turned to gall and bitterness.

我越接近你的住所,便越能深切感受到那复仇之念在心中燃起。

The nearer I approached to your habitation, the more deeply did I feel the spirit of revenge enkindled in my heart.

大雪纷飞,河水冰封,但我不曾停歇。

Snow fell, and the waters were hardened, but I rested not.

偶尔有几件事情为我指引方向,我也带着一张地图;但我时常大幅偏离自己的路线。

A few incidents now and then directed me, and I possessed a map of the country; but I often wandered wide from my path.
