医生现在似乎比以往任何时候都更把自己关在实验室上面的小房间里,有时甚至在那里睡觉。

The doctor, it appeared, now more than ever confined himself to the cabinet over the laboratory, where he would sometimes even sleep.

他情绪低落,变得非常沉默,不再读书,似乎心事重重。

He was out of spirits, he had grown very silent, he did not read; it seemed as if he had something on his mind.

厄特森渐渐习惯了这些千篇一律的报告,以至于他来访的频率也逐渐减少了。

Utterson became so used to the unvarying character of these reports, that he fell off little by little in the frequency of his visits.

那是一个星期天,厄特森先生正和恩菲尔德先生像往常一样散步,碰巧他们的路线又一次经过那条小街。

It chanced on Sunday, when Mr. Utterson was on his usual walk with Mr. Enfield, that their way lay once again through the by-street.

当他们来到那扇门前时,两人都停下来凝视着它。

And that when they came in front of the door, both stopped to gaze on it.

"好吧,"恩菲尔德说,"那个故事至少已经结束了。我们再也不会见到海德先生了。"

"Well," said Enfield, "that story's at an end at least. We shall never see more of Mr. Hyde."

"但愿如此,"厄特森说。"我有没有告诉过你,我曾经见过他,也和你一样感到厌恶?"

"I hope not," said Utterson. "Did I ever tell you that I once saw him, and shared your feeling of repulsion?"

"做了一件事就不可能不做另一件,"恩菲尔德回答说。

"It was impossible to do the one without the other," returned Enfield.

"顺便说一句,你当时一定觉得我是个傻瓜,竟然不知道这是通往杰基尔医生家的后门!

"And by the way, what an ass you must have thought me, not to know that this was a back way to Dr. Jekyll's!

我能发现这一点,部分也是你自己的过错。"

It was partly your own fault that I found it out, even when I did."

"所以你发现了,是吗?"厄特森说。"既然如此,我们可以走进院子看看那些窗户。"

"So you found it out, did you?" said Utterson. "But if that be so, we may step into the court and take a look at the windows."
