Chinese → English Full Text Level 7/10

但我现在看到的这只手,在伦敦早晨的黄色光线中看得非常清楚,半握着躺在床单上,瘦削、筋脉突出、关节粗大,呈暗淡的苍白色,上面浓密地覆盖着黝黑的毛发。

But the hand which I now saw, clearly enough, in the yellow light of a mid-London morning, lying half shut on the bedclothes, was lean, corded, knuckly, of a dusky pallor and thickly shaded with a swart growth of hair.

这是爱德华·海德的手。

It was the hand of Edward Hyde.

我一定盯着它看了将近半分钟,完全陷入了惊讶的呆滞之中,直到恐惧在我胸中醒来,如同钹的撞击声一样突然而惊人;我从床上跳起来,冲向镜子。

I must have stared upon it for near half a minute, sunk as I was in the mere stupidity of wonder, before terror woke up in my breast as sudden and startling as the crash of cymbals; and bounding from my bed I rushed to the mirror.

看到镜中映入我眼帘的景象,我的血液变成了某种极其稀薄而冰冷的东西。

At the sight that met my eyes, my blood was changed into something exquisitely thin and icy.

是的,我上床时是亨利·杰基尔,醒来时却是爱德华·海德。

Yes, I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde.

这要如何解释呢?

How was this to be explained?

我问自己;然后,又一阵恐惧袭来——这要如何补救?

I asked myself; and then, with another bound of terror—how was it to be remedied?

现在已经是上午了;仆人们都起来了;我所有的药物都在柜子里——从我当时站立的地方要走很长的路程,下两层楼梯,穿过后面的通道,越过露天庭院,再穿过解剖教室。

It was well on in the morning; the servants were up; all my drugs were in the cabinet—a long journey down two pairs of stairs, through the back passage, across the open court and through the anatomical theatre, from where I was then standing horror-struck.

也许确实可以遮住我的脸;但那有什么用呢,如果我无法掩盖我身材的变化?

It might indeed be possible to cover my face; but of what use was that, when I was unable to conceal the alteration in my stature?

然后,带着一种压倒性的甜蜜宽慰感,我想起来仆人们已经习惯了我的第二个自我的来来去去。

And then with an overpowering sweetness of relief, it came back upon my mind that the servants were already used to the coming and going of my second self.
