The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 109

Chinese → English Full Text Level 7/10

杰基尔现在陷入了绝望之中,而他憎恨别人对他的厌恶。

despondency into which Jekyll was now fallen, and he resented the dislike with which he was himself regarded.

因此,他会对我玩猿猴般的把戏,用我自己的笔迹在我的书页上涂写亵渎的话语,烧毁信件,毁坏我父亲的肖像。

Hence the ape-like tricks that he would play me, scrawling in my own hand blasphemies on the pages of my books, burning the letters and destroying the portrait of my father;

事实上,要不是他害怕死亡,他早就毁了自己,好把我也拖入毁灭之中。

and indeed, had it not been for his fear of death, he would long ago have ruined himself in order to involve me in the ruin.

但他对生命的热爱是惊人的;我要说得更深入一些:我,一想到他就感到恶心和战栗,当我回想起这种依附关系的卑贱和激情时,当我知道他多么害怕我用自杀的方式切断他的生命时,我心中对他产生了怜悯。

But his love of life is wonderful; I go further: I, who sicken and freeze at the mere thought of him, when I recall the abjection and passion of this attachment, and when I know how he fears my power to cut him off by suicide, I find it in my heart to pity him.

继续这种描述是没有用的,而且时间可怕地不够用了;从来没有人遭受过这样的折磨,这就足够了。

It is useless, and the time awfully fails me, to prolong this description; no one has ever suffered such torments, let that suffice;

然而即使对于这些,习惯带来的——不,不是减轻——而是灵魂的某种麻木,某种绝望中的默认。

and yet even to these, habit brought—no, not alleviation—but a certain callousness of soul, a certain acquiescence of despair;

我的惩罚本可以持续多年,但最后的灾难现在降临了,它最终把我从我自己的面容和本性中分离出来。

and my punishment might have gone on for years, but for the last calamity which has now fallen, and which has finally severed me from my own face and nature.

我储备的那种盐,自从第一次实验以来就从未补充过,现在开始用完了。

My provision of the salt, which had never been renewed since the date of the first experiment, began to run low.
