「我一点也没重，」我说，「甚至还不如以前；我的胃口也许在晚上你在的时候好一些，但早上你不在的时候反而更差。」

"I don't weigh a bit more," said I, "nor as much; and my appetite may be better in the evening, when you are here, but it is worse in the morning when you are away."

「祝福她这颗小心脏！」他紧紧抱住我说；「她想病多久就病多久！但现在让我们利用这宝贵的时光去睡觉吧，明早再谈这件事！」

"Bless her little heart!" said he with a big hug; "she shall be as sick as she pleases! But now let's improve the shining hours by going to sleep, and talk about it in the morning!"

「那你不会离开吗？」我郁郁地问道。

"And you won't go away?" I asked gloomily.

「哎，亲爱的，我怎么能走呢？还有不过三个星期，到时候我们就可以趁珍妮整理房子的时候出去小旅行几天。真的，亲爱的，你已经好多了！」

"Why, how can I, dear? It is only three weeks more and then we will take a nice little trip of a few days while Jennie is getting the house ready. Really, dear, you are better!"

「身体上也许好一些」——我刚开口便戛然而止，因为他挺直身子坐起来，用那么严肃、充满责备的眼神看着我，让我再也说不出一个字。

"Better in body perhaps"—I began, and stopped short, for he sat up straight and looked at me with such a stern, reproachful look that I could not say another word.

「我的心肝，」他说，「我恳求你，为了我，为了我们的孩子，也为了你自己，千万不要让那个念头在你脑海中停留哪怕一瞬间！对于你这样的性情，没有什么比那更危险、更具诱惑的了。那不过是虚假荒唐的幻想。当我以一个医生的身份告诉你这些的时候，你难道不能信任我吗？」

"My darling," said he, "I beg of you, for my sake and for our child's sake, as well as for your own, that you will never for one instant let that idea enter your mind! There is nothing so dangerous, so fascinating, to a temperament like yours. It is a false and foolish fancy. Can you not trust me as a physician when I tell you so?"

于是我当然没有再在这件事上多说什么，不久我们便睡着了。

So of course I said no more on that score, and we went to sleep before long.
