The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 103

Chinese → English Full Text Level 7/10

片刻之前,我还受到所有人的尊敬,富有,受人爱戴——家中餐厅里已为我铺好了桌布;而现在我成了人类共同追捕的猎物,被追杀,无家可归,一个臭名昭著的杀人犯,绞刑架的奴隶。

A moment before I had been safe of all men's respect, wealthy, beloved—the cloth laying for me in the dining-room at home; and now I was the common quarry of mankind, hunted, houseless, a known murderer, thrall to the gallows.

我的理智动摇了,但并没有完全崩溃。

My reason wavered, but it did not fail me utterly.

我不止一次注意到,在我的第二个性格中,我的官能似乎变得更加敏锐,我的精神更加紧张而富有弹性;因此,在杰基尔也许会屈服的地方,海德却能应对这一时刻的重要性。

I have more than once observed that in my second character, my faculties seemed sharpened to a point and my spirits more tensely elastic; thus it came about that, where Jekyll perhaps might have succumbed, Hyde rose to the importance of the moment.

我的药在我柜子的一个壁橱里;我怎么才能拿到它们呢?

My drugs were in one of the presses of my cabinet; how was I to reach them?

这就是我(双手抱着太阳穴)要解决的问题。

That was the problem that (crushing my temples in my hands) I set myself to solve.

实验室的门我已经关上了。

The laboratory door I had closed.

如果我试图从房子里进去,我自己的仆人就会把我送上绞刑架。

If I sought to enter by the house, my own servants would consign me to the gallows.

我知道我必须借助他人之手,于是想到了兰扬。

I saw I must employ another hand, and thought of Lanyon.

怎么才能找到他?怎么说服他?

How was he to be reached? how persuaded?

假设我在街上逃脱了抓捕,我怎么才能进入他面前?

Supposing that I escaped capture in the streets, how was I to make my way into his presence?

而我这样一个陌生而令人讨厌的访客,又怎么能说服这位著名的医生去搜查他同事杰基尔博士的书房呢?

and how should I, an unknown and displeasing visitor, prevail on the famous physician to rifle the study of his colleague, Dr. Jekyll?

然后我想起,我的原始性格中还有一部分保留了下来:我能写我自己的笔迹;一旦我想到了这个点燃的火花,我必须遵循的道路就从头到尾都照亮了。

Then I remembered that of my original character, one part remained to me: I could write my own hand; and once I had conceived that kindling spark, the way that I must follow became lighted up from end to end.
