The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 4

English → Chinese Chapter 2. Level 7/10

When they had brought her to the Hall the maiden was placed in an upper chamber, while Hugo and his friends sat down to a long carouse, as was their nightly custom.

当他们把她带到庄园后，这位少女被安置在一间上层的房间里，而雨果和他的朋友们则坐下来开始长时间的狂饮，这是他们每晚的惯例。

Now, the poor lass upstairs was like to have her wits turned at the singing and shouting and terrible oaths which came up to her from below, for they say that the words used by Hugo Baskerville, when he was in wine, were such as might blast the man who said them.

此时，楼上那可怜的姑娘几乎要被从楼下传来的歌声、喊叫声和可怕的咒骂声逼得失去理智，因为据说雨果·巴斯克维尔醉酒时所说的话，足以令说出这些话的人遭受天谴。

At last in the stress of her fear she did that which might have daunted the bravest or most active man, for by the aid of the growth of ivy which covered (and still covers) the south wall she came down from under the eaves, and so homeward across the moor, there being three leagues betwixt the Hall and her father's farm.

最终，在极度恐惧的驱使下，她做出了一件连最勇敢、最矫健的男子也可能望而却步的事——借助覆盖着（至今仍覆盖着）南墙的茂密常青藤，她从屋檐下攀爬而下，而后穿越荒原向家的方向奔去，彼时庄园与她父亲的农场之间相距三里格之遥。

It chanced that some little time later Hugo left his guests to carry food and drink—with other worse things, perchance—to his captive, and so found the cage empty and the bird escaped.

碰巧不久之后，雨果离开宾客，去给他的囚徒送食物和饮料——或许还有其他更糟糕的东西——结果却发现笼子已空，鸟儿已逃。

Then, as it would seem, he became as one that hath a devil, for, rushing down the stairs into the dining-hall, he sprang upon the great table, flagons and trenchers flying before him, and he cried aloud before all the company that he would that very night render his body and soul to the Powers of Evil if he might but overtake the wench.

随后，他仿佛着了魔一般，冲下楼梯闯入餐厅，纵身跳上那张大桌子，酒壶和餐盘在他面前横飞四散，他当着所有宾客的面高声叫嚷，称若能追上那女子，他情愿在当晚将自己的身体和灵魂献给邪恶之力。
