The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 50

"这正是我刚要冒昧提议的，"医生微笑着回答。

"That is just what I was about to venture to propose," returned the doctor with a smile.

但话音未落，笑容就从他脸上消失了，取而代之的是一种极度恐惧和绝望的表情，使得下面两位绅士的血液都凝固了。

But the words were hardly uttered, before the smile was struck out of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror and despair, as froze the very blood of the two gentlemen below.

他们只看到了一瞥，因为窗户立刻被猛地关上了；但那一瞥已经足够了，他们一言不发地转身离开了庭院。

They saw it but for a glimpse for the window was instantly thrust down; but that glimpse had been sufficient, and they turned and left the court without a word.

他们也是默默地穿过那条小街；直到来到邻近的大街上，即使在星期天那里仍有一些生活的动静，厄特森先生才终于转身看着他的同伴。

In silence, too, they traversed the by-street; and it was not until they had come into a neighbouring thoroughfare, where even upon a Sunday there were still some stirrings of life, that Mr. Utterson at last turned and looked at his companion.

他们两人都面色苍白；他们眼中有着相同的恐惧。

They were both pale; and there was an answering horror in their eyes.

"上帝饶恕我们，上帝饶恕我们，"厄特森先生说。

"God forgive us, God forgive us," said Mr. Utterson.

但恩菲尔德先生只是非常严肃地点了点头，再次默默地继续走着。

But Mr. Enfield only nodded his head very seriously, and walked on once more in silence.

最后一夜

THE LAST NIGHT

一天晚饭后的一个晚上，厄特森先生正坐在壁炉边，这时他惊讶地接到了普尔的来访。

Mr. Utterson was sitting by his fireside one evening after dinner, when he was surprised to receive a visit from Poole.

"天哪，普尔，什么风把你吹来了？"他叫道；然后再看了他一眼，"你怎么了？"他补充道；"医生病了吗？"

"Bless me, Poole, what brings you here?" he cried; and then taking a second look at him, "What ails you?" he added; "is the doctor ill?"

"厄特森先生，"那个人说，"出事了。"

"Mr. Utterson," said the man, "there is something wrong."

"请坐，这里有杯酒给你，"律师说。

"Take a seat, and here is a glass of wine for you," said the lawyer.
