The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 64
在宁静的灯光下,那个柜子就摆在他们眼前,壁炉里燃着旺盛的炉火,噼啪作响,水壶唱着它那尖细的曲调,一两个抽屉开着,文件整齐地摆放在办公桌上,靠近炉火的地方,茶具已经摆好;你会说这是最安静的房间,要不是那些装满化学药品的玻璃柜,这可能是伦敦那晚最普通的房间了。
There lay the cabinet before their eyes in the quiet lamplight, a good fire glowing and chattering on the hearth, the kettle singing its thin strain, a drawer or two open, papers neatly set forth on the business table, and nearer the fire, the things laid out for tea; the quietest room, you would have said, and, but for the glazed presses full of chemicals, the most commonplace that night in London.
就在房间正中央,躺着一个人的尸体,身体严重扭曲,仍在抽搐。
Right in the middle there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching.
他们踮着脚尖走近,把尸体翻过来,看到了爱德华·海德的脸。
They drew near on tiptoe, turned it on its back and beheld the face of Edward Hyde.
他穿着对他来说太大的衣服,那是医生尺码的衣服;他脸上的肌肉仍然带着生命的假象在动,但生命已经完全消失了;从他手中那只被压碎的小瓶和空气中弥漫的杏仁味,厄特森知道他看到的是一个自杀者的尸体。
He was dressed in clothes far too large for him, clothes of the doctor's bigness; the cords of his face still moved with a semblance of life, but life was quite gone; and by the crushed phial in the hand and the strong smell of kernels that hung upon the air, Utterson knew that he was looking on the body of a self-destroyer.
"我们来得太晚了,"他严厉地说,"无论是为了拯救还是惩罚。海德已经去见他的阎王了;我们现在只能去找你主人的尸体了。"
"We have come too late," he said sternly, "whether to save or punish. Hyde is gone to his account; and it only remains for us to find the body of your master."
这座建筑的绝大部分被实验室占据,实验室几乎占据了整个底层,由上方采光,而那个柜子则在一端形成了上层,面对着庭院。
The far greater proportion of the building was occupied by the theatre, which filled almost the whole ground storey and was lighted from above, and by the cabinet, which formed an upper storey at one end and looked upon the court.
