The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 52
厄特森唯一的回答就是起身拿起帽子和大衣;但他惊讶地注意到管家脸上流露出如释重负的神情,也许同样令他惊讶的是,当管家放下酒杯跟随他时,酒还没有动过。
Utterson's only answer was to rise and get his hat and greatcoat; but he observed with wonder the greatness of the relief that appeared upon the butler's face, and perhaps with no less, that the wine was still untasted when he set it down to follow.
这是三月里一个狂野、寒冷、应时的夜晚,苍白的月亮仰面躺着,仿佛被风吹斜了,飞掠而过的云絮有着最轻薄透明、如细纱般的质地。
It was a wild, cold, seasonable night of March, with a pale moon, lying on her back as though the wind had tilted her, and flying wrack of the most diaphanous and lawny texture.
大风使得交谈变得困难,还把血吹上了脸庞。
The wind made talking difficult, and flecked the blood into the face.
此外,风似乎把街道上的行人扫得异常稀少;因为厄特森先生觉得他从未见过伦敦的这一带如此荒凉。
It seemed to have swept the streets unusually bare of passengers, besides; for Mr. Utterson thought he had never seen that part of London so deserted.
他本希望情况并非如此;他这一生中从未如此强烈地意识到自己渴望见到和触碰他的同类;因为无论他如何挣扎,一种灾难即将来临的压迫性预感涌入他的脑海。
He could have wished it otherwise; never in his life had he been conscious of so sharp a wish to see and touch his fellow-creatures; for struggle as he might, there was borne in upon his mind a crushing anticipation of calamity.
当他们到达广场时,那里满是风和尘土,花园里瘦弱的树木沿着栏杆猛烈摇摆着。
The square, when they got there, was full of wind and dust, and the thin trees in the garden were lashing themselves along the railing.
普尔一路上一直走在前面一两步,此刻在人行道中间停了下来,尽管天气刺骨寒冷,他还是摘下帽子,用一块红色手帕擦拭额头。
Poole, who had kept all the way a pace or two ahead, now pulled up in the middle of the pavement, and in spite of the biting weather, took off his hat and mopped his brow with a red pocket-handkerchief.
