The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 13
这既冒犯了他作为律师的身份,也冒犯了他作为一个热爱理智和常规生活的人,对他来说,奇异幻想就是不端行为。
It offended him both as a lawyer and as a lover of the sane and customary sides of life, to whom the fanciful was the immodest.
而迄今为止,正是他对海德先生的无知加剧了他的愤慨;现在,情况突然转变,反倒是他的了解令他愤慨。
And hitherto it was his ignorance of Mr. Hyde that had swelled his indignation; now, by a sudden turn, it was his knowledge.
当这个名字还只是一个他无法了解更多的名字时,情况就已经够糟的了。
It was already bad enough when the name was but a name of which he could learn no more.
当它开始被赋予可憎的特征时,情况就更糟了;从长久以来困扰他视线的那些变幻莫测、虚无缥缈的迷雾中,突然跃出了一个恶魔的清晰形象。
It was worse when it began to be clothed upon with detestable attributes; and out of the shifting, insubstantial mists that had so long baffled his eye, there leaped up the sudden, definite presentment of a fiend.
"我原以为这是疯狂,"他一边说,一边把那张令人反感的纸放回保险箱,"现在我开始担心这是耻辱。"
"I thought it was madness," he said, as he replaced the obnoxious paper in the safe, "and now I begin to fear it is disgrace."
说完,他吹灭了蜡烛,穿上大衣,动身前往卡文迪什广场方向,那个医学重镇,他的朋友、伟大的莱尼恩医生在那里有自己的宅邸,接待络绎不绝的病人。
With that he blew out his candle, put on a greatcoat, and set forth in the direction of Cavendish Square, that citadel of medicine, where his friend, the great Dr. Lanyon, had his house and received his crowding patients.
"如果有人知道,那一定是莱尼恩,"他心想。
"If anyone knows, it will be Lanyon," he had thought.
那位庄重的男管家认识他并欢迎他;他没有受到任何延误,而是直接从门口被引领到餐厅,莱尼恩医生正独自一人在那里喝着酒。
The solemn butler knew and welcomed him; he was subjected to no stage of delay, but ushered direct from the door to the dining-room where Dr. Lanyon sat alone over his wine.
这是一位热情、健康、整洁、面色红润的绅士,有一头过早变白的浓密头发,举止爽朗而果断。
This was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman, with a shock of hair prematurely white, and a boisterous and decided manner.
一看到厄特森先生,他从椅子上跳了起来,伸出双手欢迎他。
At sight of Mr. Utterson, he sprang up from his chair and welcomed him with both hands.
