Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 8
我照做了，起初并不知道他的意图；但当我看见他拿起书、掂了掂重量，摆出要扔过来的架势时，我本能地向旁边一跳，同时发出一声惊叫：然而还是没来得及；那本书被扔了出来，打中了我，我摔倒了，头撞在门上，磕破了皮。伤口在流血，疼痛剧烈：我的恐惧已经过了顶点；别的情绪随之涌上来。
I did so, not at first aware what was his intention; but when I saw him lift and poise the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with a cry of alarm: not soon enough, however; the volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it. The cut bled, the pain was sharp: my terror had passed its climax; other feelings succeeded.
「又坏又残忍的孩子！」我说。「你像个凶手——你像个监工——你像那些罗马皇帝！」
"Wicked and cruel boy!" I said. "You are like a murderer—you are like a slave-driver—you are like the Roman emperors!"
我读过哥德史密斯所著的《罗马史》，对尼禄、卡利古拉等人已形成了自己的看法。我也曾在心里默默地作过类比，只是从未想过会这样大声说出来。
I had read Goldsmith's History of Rome, and had formed my opinion of Nero, Caligula, &c. Also I had drawn parallels in silence, which I never thought thus to have declared aloud.
「什么！什么！」他叫喊道。「她敢对我说这种话？伊莱莎、乔治亚娜，你们听见她说的了吗？我要去告诉妈妈！但首先——」
"What! what!" he cried. "Did she say that to me? Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana? Won't I tell mama? but first—"
他朝我猛扑过来：我感觉到他抓住了我的头发和肩膀：他已经和一个拼命反抗的人扭打在一起。我真的在他身上看到了一个暴君、一个凶手。我感到有一两滴血从头上沿着脖子流下来，还感受到某种刺痛的苦楚：此刻这些感觉压过了恐惧，我疯狂地与他对抗。我不太清楚自己的手到底做了什么，但他叫喊着「耗子！耗子！」，放声大吼起来。
He ran headlong at me: I felt him grasp my hair and my shoulder: he had closed with a desperate thing. I really saw in him a tyrant, a murderer. I felt a drop or two of blood from my head trickle down my neck, and was sensible of somewhat pungent suffering: these sensations for the time predominated over fear, and I received him in frantic sort. I don't very well know what I did with my hands, but he called me "Rat! Rat!" and bellowed out aloud.
