The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 20
"那么,"另一个人说,"你是怎么认出我的?"
"And now," said the other, "how did you know me?"
"通过描述,"对方回答。
"By description," was the reply.
"谁的描述?"
"Whose description?"
"我们有共同的朋友,"厄特森先生说。
"We have common friends," said Mr. Utterson.
"共同的朋友,"海德先生重复道,声音有点嘶哑。"他们是谁?"
"Common friends," echoed Mr. Hyde, a little hoarsely. "Who are they?"
"比如杰基尔,"律师说。
"Jekyll, for instance," said the lawyer.
"他从来没告诉过你,"海德先生喊道,满脸怒容。"我没想到你会撒谎。"
"He never told you," cried Mr. Hyde, with a flush of anger. "I did not think you would have lied."
"得了,"厄特森先生说,"那不是合适的措辞。"
"Come," said Mr. Utterson, "that is not fitting language."
对方大声咆哮,发出野蛮的笑声;下一刻,他以非凡的敏捷打开了门,消失在房子里。
The other snarled aloud into a savage laugh; and the next moment, with extraordinary quickness, he had unlocked the door and disappeared into the house.
海德先生离开后,律师站了一会儿,一副忧虑不安的样子。
The lawyer stood awhile when Mr. Hyde had left him, the picture of disquietude.
然后他开始慢慢地往街上走,每走一两步就停下来,把手放在额头上,像一个精神困惑的人。
Then he began slowly to mount the street, pausing every step or two and putting his hand to his brow like a man in mental perplexity.
他边走边思考的问题,是那种很少能解决的问题。
The problem he was thus debating as he walked, was one of a class that is rarely solved.
海德先生面色苍白,身材矮小,他给人一种畸形的印象,却没有任何明显的缺陷,他的笑容令人不快,他对律师表现出一种胆怯和大胆的凶残混合态度,他说话时声音嘶哑、低沉而有些断断续续;所有这些都是对他不利的方面,但所有这些加在一起都无法解释厄特森先生对他的那种前所未有的厌恶、憎恨和恐惧。
Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with a sort of murderous mixture of timidity and boldness, and he spoke with a husky, whispering and somewhat broken voice; all these were points against him, but not all of these together could explain the hitherto unknown disgust, loathing and fear with which Mr. Utterson regarded him.
"一定还有别的原因,"这位困惑的绅士说。
"There must be something else," said the perplexed gentleman.
