The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 32
在这变幻的光影下,索霍区那阴郁的街区,泥泞的道路,衣衫褴褛的行人,还有那些从未熄灭或为了抵御这悲凉的黑暗重临而重新点燃的街灯,在这位律师眼中,仿佛是噩梦中某个城市的一个区域。
The dismal quarter of Soho seen under these changing glimpses, with its muddy ways, and slatternly passengers, and its lamps, which had never been extinguished or had been kindled afresh to combat this mournful reinvasion of darkness, seemed, in the lawyer's eyes, like a district of some city in a nightmare.
此外,他心中的思绪也是最为阴郁的;当他瞥向同车的同伴时,他意识到自己感受到了那种对法律和执法者的恐惧,这种恐惧有时甚至会袭击最诚实的人。

当马车在指定的地址前停下时,雾气稍稍散开,向他展现了一条肮脏的街道,一家杜松子酒馆,一家低档的法国餐馆,一家零售一便士小册子和两便士色拉的商店,许多衣衫褴褛的孩子挤在门口,还有许多不同国籍的妇女手持钥匙走出来,去喝一杯晨酒;下一刻,雾气又像棕褐色的颜料一样笼罩了那个地方,把他与周围那些肮脏龌龊的环境隔绝开来。
As the cab drew up before the address indicated, the fog lifted a little and showed him a dingy street, a gin palace, a low French eating house, a shop for the retail of penny numbers and twopenny salads, many ragged children huddled in the doorways, and many women of many different nationalities passing out, key in hand, to have a morning glass; and the next moment the fog settled down again upon that part, as brown as umber, and cut him off from his blackguardly surroundings.
这里就是亨利·杰基尔最宠爱之人的住所;一个将继承二十五万英镑的人的住所。
This was the home of Henry Jekyll's favourite; of a man who was heir to a quarter of a million sterling.
一位面色苍白、银发苍苍的老妇人开了门。她有一张邪恶的脸,被虚伪所掩饰:但她的举止却很优雅。是的,她说,这就是先生的住处。
An ivory-faced and silvery-haired old woman opened the door. She had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy: but her manners were excellent. Yes, she said, this was Mr.
