The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 45
与此同时,如果你能坐下来和我谈谈别的事情,看在上帝的份上,请留下来这样做;但如果你不能避开这个该死的话题,那么看在上帝的份上,请走吧,因为我受不了。
And in the meantime, if you can sit and talk with me of other things, for God's sake, stay and do so; but if you cannot keep clear of this accursed topic, then in God's name, go, for I cannot bear it.
厄特森一回到家,就坐下来给杰基尔写信,抱怨自己被拒之门外,并询问与拉尼恩不幸决裂的原因;第二天就收到了一封长长的回信,措辞常常非常凄婉,有时含义又晦暗神秘。
As soon as he got home, Utterson sat down and wrote to Jekyll, complaining of his exclusion from the house, and asking the cause of this unhappy break with Lanyon; and the next day brought him a long answer, often very pathetically worded, and sometimes darkly mysterious in drift.
与拉尼恩的争吵是无法挽回的。
The quarrel with Lanyon was incurable.
我打算从今以后过一种极度隐居的生活;你不要惊讶,也不要怀疑我的友谊,如果我的门常常对你也关着的话。
I mean from henceforth to lead a life of extreme seclusion; you must not be surprised, nor must you doubt my friendship, if my door is often shut even to you.
你必须容忍我走我自己黑暗的道路。
You must suffer me to go my own dark way.
我给自己招来了一种无法言说的惩罚和危险。
I have brought on myself a punishment and a danger that I cannot name.
如果我是罪人之首,我也是受苦者之首。
If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
我从未想到这世上会有一个地方容纳如此令人丧失男子气概的苦难和恐惧;而你只能做一件事,厄特森,来减轻这种命运,那就是尊重我的沉默。
I could not think that this earth contained a place for sufferings and terrors so unmanning; and you can do but one thing, Utterson, to lighten this destiny, and that is to respect my silence.
