The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 62
风只是一阵阵、一股股地吹进这建筑深处的井底,把烛光吹得在他们脚边摇曳不定,直到他们走进剧场的庇护所,才默默地坐下来等待。
The wind, which only broke in puffs and draughts into that deep well of building, tossed the light of the candle to and fro about their steps, until they came into the shelter of the theatre, where they sat down silently to wait.
伦敦在四周庄严地嗡嗡作响;但在近处,只有脚步声在实验室地板上来回走动,打破了这份寂静。
London hummed solemnly all around; but nearer at hand, the stillness was only broken by the sounds of a footfall moving to and fro along the cabinet floor.
啊,不安的良心真是休息的大敌!啊,先生,它的每一步都沾满了罪恶的鲜血!
Ah, it's an ill conscience that's such an enemy to rest! Ah, sir, there's blood foully shed in every step of it!
那脚步声轻盈而古怪,带着某种摇摆,尽管走得很慢;这确实不同于亨利·杰基尔那沉重的嘎吱作响的步伐。
The steps fell lightly and oddly, with a certain swing, for all they went so slowly; it was different indeed from the heavy creaking tread of Henry Jekyll.
但现在十分钟快到了。
But now the ten minutes drew to an end.
