Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 5
怪物从我的神情中看出了我的决心，愤怒地咬牙切齿，却无可奈何。
The monster saw my determination in my face and gnashed his teeth in the impotence of anger.
人啊！你可以憎恨我，但要当心！你的岁月将在恐惧与痛苦中度过，那道霹雳即将降临，永远夺走你的幸福。当我在无尽的苦难中挣扎时，你难道还能快乐吗？
Man! You may hate, but beware! Your hours will pass in dread and misery, and soon the bolt will fall which must ravish from you your happiness for ever. Are you to be happy while I grovel in the intensity of my wretchedness?
