The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 67
"当然没有比它本身更奇怪的了,"律师用同样的语调附和道。"因为杰基尔"——说到这个名字他突然停住了,然后克服了这种软弱——"杰基尔要它做什么?"他说。
"And surely none stranger than itself," echoed the lawyer in the same tones. "For what did Jekyll"—he caught himself up at the word with a start, and then conquering the weakness—"what could Jekyll want with it?" he said.
"你说得对!"普尔说。
"You may say that!" said Poole.
接着他们转向办公桌。在桌上整齐排列的文件中,最上面放着一个大信封,上面用医生的笔迹写着厄特森先生的名字。
Next they turned to the business table. On the desk, among the neat array of papers, a large envelope was uppermost, and bore, in the doctor's hand, the name of Mr. Utterson.
律师拆开它,几份附件掉到了地上。
The lawyer unsealed it, and several enclosures fell to the floor.
第一份是一份遗嘱,用与他六个月前退还的那份同样古怪的措辞写成,既作为死亡时的遗嘱,又作为失踪时的赠与契据;但代替爱德华·海德的名字的,律师难以置信地惊讶地读到了加布里埃尔·约翰·厄特森的名字。
The first was a will, drawn in the same eccentric terms as the one which he had returned six months before, to serve as a testament in case of death and as a deed of gift in case of disappearance; but in place of the name of Edward Hyde, the lawyer, with indescribable amazement read the name of Gabriel John Utterson.
他看了看普尔,然后又看了看文件,最后看了看躺在地毯上的死去的罪犯。
He looked at Poole, and then back at the paper, and last of all at the dead malefactor stretched upon the carpet.
"我头都晕了,"他说。"这些天来一直是他占有着这些;他没有理由喜欢我;他一定因为看到自己被取代而愤怒;然而他却没有销毁这份文件。"
"My head goes round," he said. "He has been all these days in possession; he had no cause to like me; he must have raged to see himself displaced; and he has not destroyed this document."
他拿起下一份文件;那是一张医生手写的简短便条,顶部标有日期。"哦,普尔!"律师叫道,"他今天还活着,而且就在这里。
He caught up the next paper; it was a brief note in the doctor's hand and dated at the top. "O Poole!" the lawyer cried, "he was alive and here this day.
