The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 15
"他们只是在某个科学问题上有分歧,"他想;作为一个对科学没有什么热情的人(除了在产权转让方面),他甚至补充道:"不过如此罢了!"
"They have only differed on some point of science," he thought; and being a man of no scientific passions (except in the matter of conveyancing), he even added: "It is nothing worse than that!"
他给了朋友几秒钟时间来恢复镇定,然后提出了他此行要问的问题。"你见过他的一个被保护人吗——一个叫海德的人?"他问道。
He gave his friend a few seconds to recover his composure, and then approached the question he had come to put. "Did you ever come across a protégé of his—one Hyde?" he asked.
"海德?"兰尼恩重复道。"没有。从未听说过。那是我离开之后的事了。"
"Hyde?" repeated Lanyon. "No. Never heard of him. Since my time."
这就是律师带回去的全部信息,他在那张又大又黑的床上辗转反侧,直到凌晨时分天色渐明。
That was the amount of information that the lawyer carried back with him to the great, dark bed on which he tossed to and fro, until the small hours of the morning began to grow large.
对于他那劳累的头脑来说,这是一个难以安眠的夜晚,他的思绪在黑暗中挣扎,被各种问题所困扰。
It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions.
离厄特森先生住所很近的教堂钟声敲响了六点,他仍在苦思这个问题。
Six o'clock struck on the bells of the church that was so conveniently near to Mr. Utterson's dwelling, and still he was digging at the problem.
到目前为止,这件事只是在理智层面触动了他;但现在他的想象力也参与进来了,或者说被奴役了。
Hitherto it had touched him on the intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged, or rather enslaved;
当他躺在夜晚和拉着窗帘的房间的浓重黑暗中辗转反侧时,恩菲尔德先生的故事像一幅幅明亮的画卷在他脑海中闪过。
and as he lay and tossed in the gross darkness of the night and the curtained room, Mr. Enfield's tale went by before his mind in a scroll of lighted pictures.
