The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 4
这是一栋两层楼的房子;下层只有一扇门,看不到窗户,上层则是一面褪色墙壁构成的盲墙;每一处特征都显示出长期肮脏疏于照管的痕迹。
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.
那扇门上既没有门铃也没有门环,表面起泡剥落,污迹斑斑。
The door, which was equipped with neither bell nor knocker, was blistered and distained.
流浪汉懒洋洋地走进门廊,在门板上划火柴;孩子们在台阶上玩开店游戏;学童用小刀在门框装饰上乱刻;而将近一代人的时间里,似乎没有人出来赶走这些不速之客或修复他们造成的破坏。
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.
恩菲尔德先生和那位律师走在小巷的另一边;但当他们走到那个入口对面时,前者举起手杖指了指。
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.
"你注意过那扇门吗?"他问道;当他的同伴给出肯定的回答后,他补充说:"在我心里,它与一个非常离奇的故事联系在一起。"
"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."
"真的吗?"厄特森先生说,声音略有变化,"那是什么故事?"
"Indeed?" said Mr. Utterson, with a slight change of voice, "and what was that?"
"嗯,事情是这样的,"恩菲尔德先生回答说:"我从天边某个地方回家,那是一个漆黑冬日的凌晨三点左右,我的路要经过城里的一个地方,那里除了街灯真的什么也看不见。
"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.
