The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 4

English → Chinese Full Text Level 7/10

It was two storeys high; showed no window, nothing but a door on the lower storey and a blind forehead of discoloured wall on the upper; and bore in every feature, the marks of prolonged and sordid negligence.

它有两层楼高;没有窗户,下层只有一扇门,上层是一片褪色墙壁构成的盲目额头;每一处细节都带着长期肮脏疏忽的痕迹。

The door, which was equipped with neither bell nor knocker, was blistered and distained.

那扇门既没有门铃也没有门环,表面起泡,污迹斑斑。

Tramps slouched into the recess and struck matches on the panels; children kept shop upon the steps; the schoolboy had tried his knife on the mouldings; and for close on a generation, no one had appeared to drive away these random visitors or to repair their ravages.

流浪汉懒散地靠在门廊里,在门板上划火柴;孩子们在台阶上玩起了过家家;学童在门框线脚上试过刀刃;将近一代人的时间里,从未有人出现驱赶这些随意而来的访客,也无人修缮他们留下的破坏。

Mr. Enfield and the lawyer were on the other side of the by-street; but when they came abreast of the entry, the former lifted up his cane and pointed.

恩菲尔德先生和律师走在小街的另一侧;但当他们走到那个门口旁边时,前者举起手杖指了指。

"Did you ever remark that door?" he asked; and when his companion had replied in the affirmative, "It is connected in my mind," added he, "with a very odd story."

「你有没有注意过那扇门?」他问道;当同伴给予肯定的回答后,他补充说:「在我脑海中,它与一个非常奇怪的故事联系在一起。」

"Indeed?" said Mr. Utterson, with a slight change of voice, "and what was that?"

「哦?」厄特森先生声音略有变化地说,「那是个什么故事?」

"Well, it was this way," returned Mr. Enfield: "I was coming home from some place at the end of the world, about three o'clock of a black winter morning, and my way lay through a part of town where there was literally nothing to be seen but lamps.

「嗯,事情是这样的,」恩菲尔德先生回答说:「我从天涯海角的某个地方回家,那是一个漆黑冬日的凌晨三点左右,我的路途穿过城里的一片地方,那里简直什么都看不见,只有路灯。
