Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 5
我试图陪同他们，从房子里走出去了一小段距离，但我的头开始眩晕，我的步伐像个醉汉一样踉跄，最终我因极度疲惫而倒下；一层薄膜遮住了我的双眼，我的皮肤因发烧的热度而干燥灼热。
I attempted to accompany them and proceeded a short distance from the house, but my head whirled round, my steps were like those of a drunken man, I fell at last in a state of utter exhaustion; a film covered my eyes, and my skin was parched with the heat of fever.
就在这种状态下，我被人抬了回去，放在床上，几乎不知道发生了什么；我的眼睛在房间里四处游荡，仿佛在寻找某件我失去的东西。
In this state I was carried back and placed on a bed, hardly conscious of what had happened; my eyes wandered round the room as if to seek something that I had lost.
过了一段时间，我起身，仿佛出于本能，爬进了停放着我挚爱遗体的房间。
After an interval I arose, and as if by instinct, crawled into the room where the corpse of my beloved lay.
周围有女人在哭泣；我俯身在遗体旁，将我悲伤的泪水融入她们的哭声之中；在这整段时间里，我脑海中没有出现任何清晰的念头，我的思绪漫无目的地游荡于各种事物之间，混乱地回想着我所遭受的不幸及其原因。
There were women weeping around; I hung over it and joined my sad tears to theirs; all this time no distinct idea presented itself to my mind, but my thoughts rambled to various subjects, reflecting confusedly on my misfortunes and their cause.
我迷失在一片惊愕与恐惧的迷雾之中。
I was bewildered, in a cloud of wonder and horror.
威廉的死、贾斯汀的处决、克莱瓦尔的被害，以及最后我妻子的遇难；就在那一刻，我甚至不知道我仅剩的亲友是否还安全，免于那恶魔的毒手；我的父亲此刻也许正在他的魔爪下痛苦挣扎，而欧内斯特也许已倒毙在他的脚下。
The death of William, the execution of Justine, the murder of Clerval, and lastly of my wife; even at that moment I knew not that my only remaining friends were safe from the malignity of the fiend; my father even now might be writhing under his grasp, and Ernest might be dead at his feet.
这个念头令我不寒而栗，将我从迷茫中唤醒，促使我采取行动。
This idea made me shudder and recalled me to action.
我猛地站起身，决心以最快的速度返回日内瓦。
I started up and resolved to return to Geneva with all possible speed.
