The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 73

Chinese → English Full Text Level 7/10

门非常坚固,锁也极好;木匠声称如果使用暴力,他会遇到很大麻烦,而且会造成很大的损坏;锁匠也几乎绝望了。

The door was very strong, the lock excellent; the carpenter avowed he would have great trouble and have to do much damage, if force were to be used; and the locksmith was near despair.

但这位锁匠是个手巧的人,经过两个小时的工作,门打开了。

But this last was a handy fellow, and after two hour's work, the door stood open.

标记E的柜子被打开了;我取出抽屉,在里面填满稻草,用床单包好,然后带着它回到卡文迪什广场。

The press marked E was unlocked; and I took out the drawer, had it filled up with straw and tied in a sheet, and returned with it to Cavendish Square.

在这里我开始检查里面的东西。

Here I proceeded to examine its contents.

这些粉末制作得相当精细,但不像配药师那样精确;因此很明显它们是杰基尔私人制造的;当我打开其中一个包装纸时,我发现里面似乎是一种白色的简单结晶盐。

The powders were neatly enough made up, but not with the nicety of the dispensing chemist; so that it was plain they were of Jekyll's private manufacture; and when I opened one of the wrappers I found what seemed to me a simple crystalline salt of a white colour.

接下来我转向那个小瓶,它大约装了半瓶血红色的液体,闻起来气味刺鼻,我觉得里面含有磷和某种挥发性醚。

The phial, to which I next turned my attention, might have been about half full of a blood-red liquor, which was highly pungent to the sense of smell and seemed to me to contain phosphorus and some volatile ether.

至于其他成分,我无法猜测。

At the other ingredients I could make no guess.

那本书是一本普通的记录簿,里面除了一系列日期几乎没有别的内容。

The book was an ordinary version book and contained little but a series of dates.

这些日期跨越了许多年,但我注意到记录在将近一年前就突然停止了。

These covered a period of many years, but I observed that the entries ceased nearly a year ago and quite abruptly.
