The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 3
这大概破坏了我那种鬼魅般的感觉,我想;但我不在乎——这房子有某种奇异之处——我能感觉到。
That spoils my ghostliness, I am afraid; but I don't care—there is something strange about the house—I can feel it.
我甚至在一个月光皎洁的夜晚对约翰说过这件事,但他说我感觉到的不过是一股穿堂风,随手就把窗户关上了。
I even said so to John one moonlight evening, but he said what I felt was a draught, and shut the window.
我有时会莫名其妙地对约翰感到恼火。我敢肯定我以前从来不是这么敏感的人。我想这都是这种神经衰弱的毛病造成的。
I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I'm sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
但约翰说,如果我这样想,我就会疏于自我管控;所以我费心克制自己——至少在他面前是这样——而这让我非常疲惫。
But John says if I feel so I shall neglect proper self-control; so I take pains to control myself,—before him, at least,—and that makes me very tired.
我一点也不喜欢我们的房间。我本想要楼下那间——那间通向游廊、窗边开满玫瑰的房间,还有那么漂亮的老式印花棉布窗帘!但约翰根本不肯听。
I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hangings! but John would not hear of it.
他说那间房只有一扇窗,放不下两张床,而且如果他住别处,也没有相近的房间可用。
He said there was only one window and not room for two beds, and no near room for him if he took another.
他非常细心,充满爱意,几乎不让我在没有特别叮嘱的情况下随便走动。
He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction.
他为我每天的每个小时都安排了处方计划;他替我操持一切,所以我若不更加珍视这些,便觉得自己卑劣地忘恩负义。
I have a schedule prescription for each hour in the day; he takes all care from me, and so I feel basely ungrateful not to value it more.
他说我们来这里完全是为了我,我要好好休息,尽可能多呼吸新鲜空气。"你的运动量取决于你的体力,亲爱的,"他说,"你的饮食在某种程度上取决于你的食欲;但新鲜空气你随时都可以尽情吸收。"
He said we came here solely on my account, that I was to have perfect rest and all the air I could get. "Your exercise depends on your strength, my dear," said he, "and your food somewhat on your appetite; but air you can absorb all the time.
