Wuthering Heights — Page 2
就连他倚着的那扇门，也对他的话语毫无呼应之意；我想正是这一情形让我下定决心接受邀请：我对一个看起来比我更加超乎寻常地沉默寡言的人产生了兴趣。
even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathising movement to the words; and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself.
当他看到我的马胸口正用力推着那道栅门时，他才伸出手来把链子解开，然后闷闷不乐地走在我前面，沿着石铺小道往上走，在我们进入院子时喊道：'约瑟夫，把洛克伍德先生的马牵走，再拿些酒上来。'
When he saw my horse's breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did put out his hand to unchain it, and then sullenly preceded me up the causeway, calling, as we entered the court,— "Joseph, take Mr. Lockwood's horse; and bring up some wine."
'我想，这里所有的家仆就这些了，'这道复合命令引发了我这样的感想。'难怪石板缝里长满了草，只有牲口才充当修剪篱笆的工人。'
"Here we have the whole establishment of domestics, I suppose," was the reflection suggested by this compound order. "No wonder the grass grows up between the flags, and cattle are the only hedge-cutters."
约瑟夫是个上了年纪的人，不，该说是个老人，也许非常老了，尽管身体依然硬朗、筋骨结实。他一边替我牵走马，一边用低沉而充满不满情绪的声音自言自语道：'上帝帮帮我们吧！'与此同时，他用那么酸溜溜的眼神盯着我的脸，让我好心地猜测，他大概是需要上天的帮助来消化他的晚饭，而他那句虔诚的感叹与我突然到访毫无关系。
Joseph was an elderly, nay, an old man, very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy. "The Lord help us!" he soliloquised in an undertone of peevish displeasure, while relieving me of my horse: looking, meantime, in my face so sourly that I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his dinner, and his pious ejaculation had no reference to my unexpected advent.
呼啸山庄是希斯克利夫先生住所的名字。'呼啸'是一个颇具意味的地方性形容词，描述的是这处宅子在狂风暴雨天气中所承受的大气动荡。
Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's dwelling. "Wuthering" being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather.
