The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 12
每逢星期日,吃完这顿饭后,他习惯紧挨着炉火坐着,阅读架上放着一卷枯燥的神学书籍,直到邻近教堂的钟声敲响十二点,然后他就会安详而满足地上床睡觉。
It was his custom of a Sunday, when this meal was over, to sit close by the fire, a volume of some dry divinity on his reading desk, until the clock of the neighbouring church rang out the hour of twelve, when he would go soberly and gratefully to bed.
然而这天晚上,桌布一撤掉,他就拿起一支蜡烛走进了他的办公室。
On this night however, as soon as the cloth was taken away, he took up a candle and went into his business room.
这份遗嘱是亲笔书写的,因为厄特森先生虽然在遗嘱立好后负责保管,但曾拒绝在起草过程中提供任何协助;
The will was holograph, for Mr. Utterson though he took charge of it now that it was made, had refused to lend the least assistance in the making of it;
这份文件长久以来一直是这位律师的眼中钉。
This document had long been the lawyer's eyesore.
