"我对他非常确定,"杰基尔回答说;"我有确定的理由,但不能与任何人分享。不过有一件事你可以给我建议。我收到了一封信,我不知道是否应该把它交给警察。我想把它交到你手上,厄特森;我相信你会做出明智的判断;我非常信任你。"

"I am quite sure of him," replied Jekyll; "I have grounds for certainty that I cannot share with any one. But there is one thing on which you may advise me. I have—I have received a letter; and I am at a loss whether I should show it to the police. I should like to leave it in your hands, Utterson; you would judge wisely, I am sure; I have so great a trust in you."

"我想你是担心这可能会导致他被发现?"律师问道。

"You fear, I suppose, that it might lead to his detection?" asked the lawyer.

"不,"对方说。"我不能说我在乎海德会有什么下场;我已经完全与他断绝关系了。我在想的是我自己的名声,这件可恶的事情已经让它相当暴露了。"

"No," said the other. "I cannot say that I care what becomes of Hyde; I am quite done with him. I was thinking of my own character, which this hateful business has rather exposed."

厄特森沉思了一会儿;他对朋友的自私感到惊讶,但又因此感到宽慰。"好吧,"他最后说,"让我看看那封信。"

Utterson ruminated awhile; he was surprised at his friend's selfishness, and yet relieved by it. "Well," said he, at last, "let me see the letter."

那封信是用一种奇特的、竖直的笔迹写成的,署名"爱德华·海德":信中简短地说明,写信人的恩人杰基尔博士,他长期以来一直以不配的方式回报他的无数恩惠,现在无需为他的安全担心,因为他有可靠的逃跑方法,对此他充满信心。律师对这封信相当满意;它给这种亲密关系增添了比他预期更好的色彩;他为自己过去的一些怀疑而自责。

The letter was written in an odd, upright hand and signed "Edward Hyde": and it signified, briefly enough, that the writer's benefactor, Dr. Jekyll, whom he had long so unworthily repaid for a thousand generosities, need labour under no alarm for his safety, as he had means of escape on which he placed a sure dependence. The lawyer liked this letter well enough; it put a better colour on the intimacy than he had looked for; and he blamed himself for some of his past suspicions.

"你有信封吗?"他问道。

"Have you the envelope?" he asked.
