The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 16
他会意识到夜晚城市里大片灯火的景象;然后是一个人快步行走的身影;然后是一个孩子从医生家跑出来;接着这两者相遇了,那个人类战车般的人踩倒了孩子,不顾她的尖叫继续前行。
He would be aware of the great field of lamps of a nocturnal city; then of the figure of a man walking swiftly; then of a child running from the doctor's; and then these met, and that human Juggernaut trod the child down and passed on regardless of her screams.
或者他会看到一间富人家的房间,他的朋友躺在那里睡着了,做着梦并对梦境微笑;然后那个房间的门被打开了,床帏被拉开,睡梦中的人被唤醒,看哪!一个被赋予了权力的身影站在他身边,即使在那死寂的时刻,他也必须起身听从其命令。
Or else he would see a room in a rich house, where his friend lay asleep, dreaming and smiling at his dreams; and then the door of that room would be opened, the curtains of the bed plucked apart, the sleeper recalled, and lo! there would stand by his side a figure to whom power was given, and even at that dead hour, he must rise and do its bidding.
这个身影的两个阶段整夜萦绕在律师心头;如果他偶尔打盹,也只是看到它更加悄无声息地滑过沉睡的房屋,或者移动得越来越快,快到令人眩晕,穿过灯火通明的城市更广阔的迷宫,在每个街角碾过一个孩子,留下她的尖叫。
The figure in these two phases haunted the lawyer all night; and if at any time he dozed over, it was but to see it glide more stealthily through sleeping houses, or move the more swiftly and still the more swiftly, even to dizziness, through wider labyrinths of lamplighted city, and at every street corner crush a child and leave her screaming.
然而那个身影始终没有可供他辨认的面孔;即使在梦中,它也没有面孔,或者有一张让他困惑并在他眼前消融的面孔;因此,在律师心中迅速产生并增长了一种异常强烈、几乎过度的好奇心,想要看清真正的海德先生的容貌。
And still the figure had no face by which he might know it; even in his dreams, it had no face, or one that baffled him and melted before his eyes; and thus it was that there sprang up and grew apace in the lawyer's mind a singularly strong, almost an inordinate, curiosity to behold the features of the real Mr. Hyde.
