“I ask you to pass through life at my side—to be my second self, and best earthly companion.”
「我请你与我共度一生,做我的第二个自我,做我在世上最好的伴侣。」
“Mr. Rochester, I will not be yours.”
「罗切斯特先生,我不会成为你的人。」
“I repeat I freely consent to go with you as your fellow-missionary, but not as your wife; I cannot marry you and become part of you.”
「我再说一遍,我愿意自由地随你去做传教士的同伴,但不是做你的妻子;我不能嫁给你,成为你的一部分。」
“Mr. Rochester, if ever I did a good deed in my life—if ever I thought a good thought—if ever I prayed a sincere and blameless prayer—if ever I wished a righteous wish,—I am rewarded now. To be your wife is, for me, to be as happy as I can be on earth.”
「罗切斯特先生,如果我一生中做过一件好事,如果我动过一个善念,如果我祈祷过一次真诚无罪的祷告,如果我许过一个正当的心愿,那么我现在得到了报偿。做你的妻子,对我来说,就是我在世上所能有的最大幸福。」
“No, sir! I am an independent woman now.”
「不,先生!我现在是个独立自主的女人了。」
“Thank you, Mr. Rochester, for your great kindness. I am strangely glad to get back again to you: and wherever you are is my home—my only home.”
「谢谢你,罗切斯特先生,谢谢你的大恩大德。重新回到你身边,我奇怪地感到高兴:你在哪里,哪里就是我的家,我唯一的家。」
Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agonised as in that hour left my lips; for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.
温柔的读者,愿你永远不要感受我当时的感受!愿你的眼睛永远不要流下我那时涌出的那样狂暴、灼热、撕心裂肺的泪水。愿你永远不要像我那一刻那样,用如此绝望、如此痛苦的祷告向上天呼求;因为你永远不必像我那样,害怕自己成为伤害你全心所爱之人的工具。
Her grave is in Brocklebridge churchyard: for fifteen years after her death it was only covered by a grassy mound; but now a grey marble tablet marks the spot, inscribed with her name, and the word “Resurgam.”
她的坟墓在布罗克布里奇教堂墓地:她死后的十五年里,那里只有一个长满青草的土丘;但如今一块灰色的大理石碑标出了那个地方,上面刻着她的名字,还有「复活」一词。
“Unjust!—unjust!” said my reason, forced by the agonising stimulus into precocious though transitory power: and Resolve, equally wrought up, instigated some strange expedient to achieve escape from insupportable oppression—as running away, or, if that could not be effected, never eating or drinking more, and letting myself die.
「不公正!不公正!」我的理智说道,它被那痛苦的刺激逼出了早熟却短暂的力量:而决心也同样被激起,唆使我想出某种奇怪的权宜之计,来逃脱这无法忍受的压迫,比如逃走,或者,如果那办不到,就再也不吃不喝,让自己死去。
“Wicked and cruel boy!” I said. “You are like a murderer—you are like a slave-driver—you are like the Roman emperors!”
「邪恶残忍的男孩!」我说。「你像个杀人犯,你像个奴隶主,你像罗马皇帝!」
“That proves you have a wicked heart; and you must pray to God to change it: to give you a new and clean one: to take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
「这证明你有一颗邪恶的心;你必须祈求上帝改变它:给你一颗新的、洁净的心:拿走你的石头心,给你一颗肉心。」
“Read the New Testament, and observe what Christ says, and how He acts; make His word your rule, and His conduct your example.”
「读读新约,看看基督说了什么,他怎样行事;让他的话成为你的准则,让他的行为成为你的榜样。」
“Everybody, Jane? Why, there are only eighty people who have heard you called so, and the world contains hundreds of millions.”
「所有人,简?哎呀,只有八十个人听见过你被这样称呼,而世上却有千千万万人。」
“You have hitherto been my adopted brother—I, your adopted sister: let us continue as such: you and I had better not marry.”
「你至今是我的义兄,我是你的义妹:让我们继续这样下去吧:你和我最好不要结婚。」
“As I exclaimed ‘Jane! Jane! Jane!’ a voice—I cannot tell whence the voice came, but I know whose voice it was—replied, ‘I am coming: wait for me;’ and a moment after, went whispering on the wind the words—‘Where are you?’
「当我喊出『简!简!简!』时,一个声音,我说不清那声音来自何处,但我知道那是谁的声音,回答道:『我来了:等着我;』片刻之后,随风低语传来这样的话:『你在哪里?』」
