Wuthering Heights — Page 3

English → Chinese CHAPTER II Level 8/10

Heathcliff, the door must bear the consequence of your servants' leisure attendance: I had hard work to make them hear me."

希斯克利夫，门的状况是你的仆人懒散怠工的结果：我费了好大的劲才让他们听见我。"

She never opened her mouth.

她一言不发。

I stared—she stared also: at any rate, she kept her eyes on me in a cool, regardless manner, exceedingly embarrassing and disagreeable.

我盯着她——她也盯着我：不管怎样，她用一种冷淡、漠然的方式注视着我，令人极为难堪和不快。

"Sit down," said the young man, gruffly. "He'll be in soon."

"坐下，"那年轻人粗声粗气地说，"他马上就回来了。"

I obeyed; and hemmed, and called the villain Juno, who deigned, at this second interview, to move the extreme tip of her tail, in token of owning my acquaintance.

我照做了；清了清嗓子，唤那只坏家伙朱诺，它在这第二次见面时，屈尊将尾巴尖微微动了一下，以示承认与我相识。

"A beautiful animal!" I commenced again. "Do you intend parting with the little ones, madam?"

"真是漂亮的动物！"我再次开口道，"您打算把那些小的送人吗，夫人？"

"They are not mine," said the amiable hostess, more repellingly than Heathcliff himself could have replied.

"那些不是我的，"这位和蔼的女主人说道，语气之冷漠甚至超过了希斯克利夫本人。

"Ah, your favourites are among these?" I continued, turning to an obscure cushion full of something like cats.

"啊，您的宠物是这些？"我继续说道，转向一个暗处垫子，上面堆满了像猫一样的东西。

"A strange choice of favourites!" she observed scornfully.

"真是奇怪的宠物偏好！"她轻蔑地说道。

Unluckily, it was a heap of dead rabbits.

不幸的是，那是一堆死兔子。

I hemmed once more, and drew closer to the hearth, repeating my comment on the wildness of the evening.

我又清了清嗓子，靠近壁炉，再次提到今晚天气的恶劣。

"You should not have come out," she said, rising and reaching from the chimney-piece two of the painted canisters.

"您本不该出来的，"她说着，站起身，从壁炉架上取下两个彩绘罐子。

Her position before was sheltered from the light; now, I had a distinct view of her whole figure and countenance.

她先前的位置背光，此刻，我得以清晰地看清她的整个身形与面容。
