The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 11
这不是记忆力的问题;因为我敢说,此刻我还能看见他。
And it's not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.
厄特森先生再次默默地走了一段路,显然正在沉思。
Mr. Utterson again walked some way in silence and obviously under a weight of consideration.
"你确定他用了钥匙吗?"他最后问道。
"You are sure he used a key?" he inquired at last.
"我亲爱的先生......"恩菲尔德惊讶地说道。
"My dear sir..." began Enfield, surprised out of himself.
"是的,我知道,"厄特森说;"我知道这听起来一定很奇怪。事实上,如果我不问你另一方的名字,那是因为我已经知道了。你看,理查德,你的故事触动了我。如果你在任何一点上不够准确,你最好纠正一下。"
"Yes, I know," said Utterson; "I know it must seem strange. The fact is, if I do not ask you the name of the other party, it is because I know it already. You see, Richard, your tale has gone home. If you have been inexact in any point you had better correct it."
"我想你本该提醒我的,"对方带着些许不悦回答道。"但我一直非常精确,正如你所说的那样。那个家伙有一把钥匙;而且,他现在还有。就在不到一周前我还看见他用过。"
"I think you might have warned me," returned the other with a touch of sullenness. "But I have been pedantically exact, as you call it. The fellow had a key; and what's more, he has it still. I saw him use it not a week ago."
厄特森先生深深地叹了口气,但一句话也没说;年轻人随即继续说道。
Mr. Utterson sighed deeply but said never a word; and the young man presently resumed.
"这又是一个教训,告诉我们什么都不要说,"他说。"我为自己的多嘴感到羞愧。让我们约定永远不再提起此事。"
"Here is another lesson to say nothing," said he. "I am ashamed of my long tongue. Let us make a bargain never to refer to this again."
"我完全同意,"律师说。"理查德,我们握手为证。"
"With all my heart," said the lawyer. "I shake hands on that, Richard."

那天晚上,厄特森先生回到他的单身住宅,心情阴郁,坐下来吃晚饭却毫无胃口。
That evening Mr. Utterson came home to his bachelor house in sombre spirits and sat down to dinner without relish.
