Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 10
我片刻前还心怀善意与温柔，此刻却被地狱般的愤怒与咬牙切齿所取代。
The feelings of kindness and gentleness which I had entertained but a few moments before gave place to hellish rage and gnashing of teeth.
被痛苦激怒，我发誓要对全人类永远仇恨与报复。
Inflamed by pain, I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind.
但伤口的剧痛压倒了我；我的脉搏停止了跳动，我昏了过去。
But the agony of my wound overcame me; my pulses paused, and I fainted.
几个星期以来，我在树林里过着悲惨的生活，努力治疗我所受的伤。
For some weeks I led a miserable life in the woods, endeavouring to cure the wound which I had received.
子弹射入了我的肩膀，我不知道它是否留在里面还是穿过去了；无论如何，我没有任何办法将它取出来。
The ball had entered my shoulder, and I knew not whether it had remained there or passed through; at any rate I had no means of extracting it.
这种伤害的不公正与忘恩负义令我倍感压抑，更加重了我的痛苦。
My sufferings were augmented also by the oppressive sense of the injustice and ingratitude of their infliction.
我每天发誓要复仇——一种深沉而致命的复仇，唯有如此才能补偿我所承受的暴行与痛苦。
My daily vows rose for revenge—a deep and deadly revenge, such as would alone compensate for the outrages and anguish I had endured.
几周后，我的伤口愈合了，我继续赶路。
After some weeks my wound healed, and I continued my journey.
我所承受的艰辛，再也无法被明媚的阳光或春日的轻风所缓解；一切欢乐不过是一种嘲弄，它侮辱着我的凄凉处境，让我更痛苦地意识到我生来就不是为了享受快乐的。
The labours I endured were no longer to be alleviated by the bright sun or gentle breezes of spring; all joy was but a mockery which insulted my desolate state and made me feel more painfully that I was not made for the enjoyment of pleasure.
但我的跋涉如今即将结束，从此时起两个月后，我抵达了日内瓦附近。
But my toils now drew near a close, and in two months from this time I reached the environs of Geneva.
我抵达时已是傍晚，我便退到周围田野中的一处藏身之所，思索着该以何种方式去找你。
It was evening when I arrived, and I retired to a hiding-place among the fields that surround it to meditate in what manner I should apply to you.
