The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 80
随后传来一声叫喊；他摇晃着，踉跄着，抓住桌子撑住自己，瞪着充血的眼睛，张着嘴喘息；当我看着时，我觉得出现了一种变化——他似乎膨胀起来——他的脸突然变黑，五官似乎在融化和改变——下一刻，我跳了起来，向后靠在墙上，举起双臂遮挡那个怪物，我的心智被恐惧淹没。
A cry followed; he reeled, staggered, clutched at the table and held on, staring with injected eyes, gasping with open mouth; and as I looked there came, I thought, a change—he seemed to swell—his face became suddenly black and the features seemed to melt and alter—and the next moment, I had sprung to my feet and leaped back against the wall, my arms raised to shield me from that prodigy, my mind submerged in terror.
"哦，上帝！"我尖叫道，"哦，上帝！"一遍又一遍；因为就在我眼前——脸色苍白，浑身颤抖，几乎要昏倒，双手在身前摸索，像一个从死亡中复活的人——站着的是亨利·杰基尔！
"O God!" I screamed, and "O God!" again and again; for there before my eyes—pale and shaken, and half fainting, and groping before him with his hands, like a man restored from death—there stood Henry Jekyll!
他在接下来的一个小时里告诉我的事情，我无法让自己写在纸上。我看到了我所看到的，我听到了我所听到的，我的灵魂为之感到恶心；然而现在当那景象从我眼前消失时，我问自己是否相信它，我无法回答。我的生活被动摇到根基；睡眠离我而去；最致命的恐惧日夜伴随着我；我感到我的日子已经屈指可数，我必将死去；然而我将死时仍然不敢相信。
What he told me in the next hour, I cannot bring my mind to set on paper. I saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul sickened at it; and yet now when that sight has faded from my eyes, I ask myself if I believe it, and I cannot answer. My life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night; and I feel that my days are numbered, and that I must die; and yet I shall die incredulous.
至于那个人向我揭露的道德败坏，即使带着忏悔的泪水，我甚至在回忆中也无法不带着惊恐的战栗去细想它。
As for the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me, even with tears of penitence, I cannot, even in memory, dwell on it without a start of horror.
