The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 2
所以我服用磷酸盐或亚磷酸盐——不管是哪种,还有补品、旅行、新鲜空气和运动,并且被严格禁止在康复之前"工作"。
So I take phosphates or phosphites—whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to "work" until I am well again.
就我个人而言,我不同意他们的看法。
Personally, I disagree with their ideas.
就我个人而言,我相信令人愉快的工作,加上刺激和变化,对我会有好处。
Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good.
但又能怎么办呢?
But what is one to do?
我确实背着他们写了一段时间;但这让我非常疲惫——因为不得不如此偷偷摸摸,否则就会遭到强烈反对。
I did write for a while in spite of them; but it does exhaust me a good deal—having to be so sly about it, or else meet with heavy opposition.
我有时会想,以我目前的状况,如果少一些反对、多一些社交和刺激——但约翰说,我能做的最糟糕的事情就是去想我的病情,我承认这总是让我感觉更糟。
I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus—but John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad.
所以我就不再想这些了,来谈谈这栋房子吧。
So I will let it alone and talk about the house.
多么美丽的地方啊!它十分僻静,远离道路,距离村子足足有三英里。它让我想起了你在书中读到的那些英国庄园,因为这里有篱笆、围墙和上了锁的大门,还有许多供园丁和工人居住的独立小屋。
The most beautiful place! It is quite alone, standing well back from the road, quite three miles from the village. It makes me think of English places that you read about, for there are hedges and walls and gates that lock, and lots of separate little houses for the gardeners and people.
这里有一座迷人的花园!我从未见过这样的花园——宽阔而幽静,布满以黄杨木为边的小径,两侧排列着长长的爬满葡萄藤的凉棚,棚下设有座椅。
There is a delicious garden! I never saw such a garden—large and shady, full of box-bordered paths, and lined with long grape-covered arbors with seats under them.
这里曾经也有温室,但现在都破败了。
There were greenhouses, too, but they are all broken now.
我相信这里曾有过一些法律纠纷,好像是关于继承人和共同继承人的问题;总之,这个地方已经空置多年了。
There was some legal trouble, I believe, something about the heirs and co-heirs; anyhow, the place has been empty for years.
