The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 59
你以为我不知道他的头在柜门上的位置吗?我一生中每天早上都看到他。不,先生,那个戴面具的东西绝不是杰基尔博士——天知道那是什么,但绝不是杰基尔博士;我心里坚信发生了谋杀。
Do you think I do not know where his head comes to in the cabinet door, where I saw him every morning of my life? No, sir, that thing in the mask was never Dr. Jekyll—God knows what it was, but it was never Dr. Jekyll; and it is the belief of my heart that there was murder done.
"普尔,"律师回答说,"如果你这么说,我就有责任去查明真相。尽管我很想顾及你主人的感受,尽管这张似乎证明他还活着的便条让我困惑不解,我仍将认为破门而入是我的责任。"
"Poole," replied the lawyer, "if you say that, it will become my duty to make certain. Much as I desire to spare your master's feelings, much as I am puzzled by this note which seems to prove him to be still alive, I shall consider it my duty to break in that door."
"啊,厄特森先生,这才像话!"管家叫道。
"Ah, Mr. Utterson, that's talking!" cried the butler.
"现在是第二个问题,"厄特森继续说:"谁来动手?"
"And now comes the second question," resumed Utterson: "Who is going to do it?"
"当然是您和我,先生,"这是那无畏的回答。
"Why, you and me, sir," was the undaunted reply.
"说得很好,"律师回应道;"无论结果如何,我保证你不会吃亏。"
"That's very well said," returned the lawyer; "and whatever comes of it, I shall make it my business to see you are no loser."
"剧场里有把斧头,"普尔继续说;"你可以拿厨房的拨火棍。"
"There is an axe in the theatre," continued Poole; "and you might take the kitchen poker for yourself."
律师把那根粗糙但沉重的工具拿在手里,掂量了一下。"你知道吗,普尔,"他抬起头说,"你我即将把自己置于某种危险的境地?"
The lawyer took that rude but weighty instrument into his hand, and balanced it. "Do you know, Poole," he said, looking up, "that you and I are about to place ourselves in a position of some peril?"
"您说得对,先生,的确如此,"管家回答道。
"You may say so, sir, indeed," returned the butler.
"那么,我们应该坦诚相待,"律师说道。
"It is well, then that we should be frank," said the other.
