"来吧,先生,"我说。"您忘了我还没有荣幸认识您呢。请坐。"然后我给他做了个示范,在我惯常的座位上坐了下来,尽可能地模仿我平时对待病人的态度,尽管时间已晚,我心事重重,而且对这位访客感到恐惧,但我还是尽力保持镇定。

"Come, sir," said I. "You forget that I have not yet the pleasure of your acquaintance. Be seated, if you please." And I showed him an example, and sat down myself in my customary seat and with as fair an imitation of my ordinary manner to a patient, as the lateness of the hour, the nature of my preoccupations, and the horror I had of my visitor, would suffer me to muster.

"请原谅,兰尼恩医生,"他相当有礼貌地回答。"您说得很对;我的急躁使我失了礼数。我是受您的同事亨利·杰基尔医生之托来这里办一件相当重要的事的;而且我听说......"他停顿了一下,把手放在喉咙上,我可以看出,尽管他表面上很镇定,但他正在努力克制即将爆发的歇斯底里——"我听说,有个抽屉......"

"I beg your pardon, Dr. Lanyon," he replied civilly enough. "What you say is very well founded; and my impatience has shown its heels to my politeness. I come here at the instance of your colleague, Dr. Henry Jekyll, on a piece of business of some moment; and I understood..." He paused and put his hand to his throat, and I could see, in spite of his collected manner, that he was wrestling against the approaches of the hysteria—"I understood, a drawer..."

但在这里,我对访客的焦虑感到同情,也许也是因为我自己日益增长的好奇心。

But here I took pity on my visitor's suspense, and some perhaps on my own growing curiosity.

"就在那儿,先生,"我说,指着那个抽屉,它放在桌子后面的地板上,仍然盖着床单。

"There it is, sir," said I, pointing to the drawer, where it lay on the floor behind a table and still covered with the sheet.

他扑向抽屉,然后停住了,把手放在心口;我能听到他的牙齿因下颚痉挛性的动作而咯咯作响;他的脸色如此可怕,以至于我开始担心他的生命和理智。

He sprang to it, and then paused, and laid his hand upon his heart; I could hear his teeth grate with the convulsive action of his jaws; and his face was so ghastly to see that I grew alarmed both for his life and reason.

"镇静一下,"我说。

"Compose yourself," said I.
