"好吧,晚安,普尔。"

"Well, good-night, Poole."

"晚安,厄特森先生。"

"Good-night, Mr. Utterson."

律师怀着沉重的心情踏上了回家的路。

And the lawyer set out homeward with a very heavy heart.

"可怜的哈里·杰基尔,"他想,"我心里隐隐觉得他陷入了深深的困境!

"Poor Harry Jekyll," he thought, "my mind misgives me he is in deep waters!

他年轻时很狂野;那当然是很久以前的事了;但在上帝的律法中,没有诉讼时效。

He was wild when he was young; a long while ago to be sure; but in the law of God, there is no statute of limitations.

是啊,一定是这样;某个旧罪的幽灵,某种隐藏耻辱的毒瘤:惩罚姗姗来迟,在记忆已经遗忘、自爱已经宽恕过错多年之后才到来。"

Ay, it must be that; the ghost of some old sin, the cancer of some concealed disgrace: punishment coming, _pede claudo_, years after memory has forgotten and self-love condoned the fault."

律师被这个念头吓到了,沉思了一会儿自己的过去,在记忆的各个角落里摸索,生怕万一有某个旧日罪孽像玩偶盒里的小丑一样突然跳出来。

And the lawyer, scared by the thought, brooded awhile on his own past, groping in all the corners of memory, lest by chance some Jack-in-the-Box of an old iniquity should leap to light there.

他的过去相当清白;很少有人能像他这样毫无顾虑地翻阅自己的人生卷宗;

His past was fairly blameless; few men could read the rolls of their life with less apprehension;

然而他因自己做过的许多坏事而深感惭愧,又因许多差点做了却避免了的事而升起一种清醒而敬畏的感激之情。

yet he was humbled to the dust by the many ill things he had done, and raised up again into a sober and fearful gratitude by the many he had come so near to doing yet avoided.

然后,重新回到先前的话题,他心中产生了一丝希望。

And then by a return on his former subject, he conceived a spark of hope.

"这位海德先生,如果仔细研究的话,"他想,"一定有他自己的秘密;黑暗的秘密,从他的样子来看;

"This Master Hyde, if he were studied," thought he, "must have secrets of his own; black secrets, by the look of him;

相比之下,可怜的杰基尔最糟糕的秘密也会像阳光一样明亮。

secrets compared to which poor Jekyll's worst would be like sunshine.

事情不能再这样继续下去了。

Things cannot continue as they are.
