Chinese → English Full Text Level 7/10

但我已经自愿剥夺了自己所有那些平衡的本能,正是凭借这些本能,即使是我们中最坏的人也能在诱惑中保持某种程度的稳定;而就我的情况而言,只要受到诱惑,哪怕是轻微的诱惑,就会堕落。

But I had voluntarily stripped myself of all those balancing instincts by which even the worst of us continues to walk with some degree of steadiness among temptations; and in my case, to be tempted, however slightly, was to fall.

地狱的精神立刻在我心中苏醒并狂暴起来。

Instantly the spirit of hell awoke in me and raged.

我欣喜若狂地殴打那毫无抵抗的身体,从每一次打击中品尝快感;直到疲惫开始取代狂暴,我突然在我疯狂的顶点,被一阵冰冷的恐惧刺穿了心脏。

With a transport of glee, I mauled the unresisting body, tasting delight from every blow; and it was not till weariness had begun to succeed, that I was suddenly, in the top fit of my delirium, struck through the heart by a cold thrill of terror.

迷雾散去了;我看到我的生命已被没收;我从这些暴行的现场逃离,既得意又颤抖,我的邪恶欲望得到了满足和刺激,我对生命的热爱被拧到了最高点。

A mist dispersed; I saw my life to be forfeit; and fled from the scene of these excesses, at once glorying and trembling, my lust of evil gratified and stimulated, my love of life screwed to the topmost peg.

我跑到索霍的房子,并且(为了加倍保险)销毁了我的文件;然后我出发穿过灯火通明的街道,在同样分裂的狂喜心态中,对我的罪行沾沾自喜,轻率地策划着将来的其他罪行,但仍然匆忙着,仍然在身后倾听着复仇者的脚步声。

I ran to the house in Soho, and (to make assurance doubly sure) destroyed my papers; thence I set out through the lamplit streets, in the same divided ecstasy of mind, gloating on my crime, light-headedly devising others in the future, and yet still hastening and still hearkening in my wake for the steps of the avenger.

海德在配制药剂时嘴边哼着歌,当他喝下药剂时,向死者致敬。

Hyde had a song upon his lips as he compounded the draught, and as he drank it, pledged the dead man.

变形的剧痛还没有停止撕裂他,亨利·杰基尔就已经流着感激和悔恨的泪水跪倒在地,双手合十向上帝祈祷。

The pangs of transformation had not done tearing him, before Henry Jekyll, with streaming tears of gratitude and remorse, had fallen upon his knees and lifted his clasped hands to God.
