69


It was a deepvoice, and foreign in tone; yet there was something in the manner ofpronouncing my name which made it sound familiar. I turned about to discoverwho spoke, fearfully; for the doors were shut, and I had seen nobody onapproaching the steps. Something stirred in the porch; and, moving nearer, Idistinguished a tall man dressed in dark clothes, with dark face and hair. 这是一个低沉的声音,带着外乡的口音;可是喊叫我名字的那种声气,听来好耳熟啊。我转过身去张望谁在那里说话,心里很有点儿发慌,因为门是关着的,方才我走近石阶时,并不曾看见有人在那里啊。门廊里有什么东西在活动,我走近几步,看出有一个高大的男子,穿一身深色衣服,黑脸黑头发,靠着墙。He leant against the side, and held hisfingers on the latch as if intending to open for himself. `Who can it be?' Ithought. `Mr Earnshaw? Oh, no! The voice has no resemblance to his.'  他把手指搁在门闩上,好像准备自己开门进去似的。  “他是谁呀?”我心里在想。“恩肖先生吗?啊,不!这声音不像他。” `I have waited here an hour,' he resumed,while I continued staring; `and the whole of that time all round has been asstill as death. I dared not enter. You do not know me? Look, I'm not astranger!'   A ray fell on his features;the cheeks were sallow, and half covered with black whiskers; the browslowering, the eyes deep set and singular. I remembered the eyes.  “我在这儿等候了一个钟点啦,”他接着说,这会儿,我还是一股劲儿地瞅着他,“这么长一段时间里,四周围就像死一样寂静。我不敢闯进去。你不认得我了吗?瞧吧,我并不是陌生人啊。”一缕月光照下来,落在那张脸上;只见两腮焦黄,给黑胡子遮满了一半,两道眉毛压得低低的,双眼陷得深深的,跟别人很不一样。我记起了那对眼睛。`What!' I cried, uncertain whether toregard him as a worldly visitor, and I raised my hands in amazement. What! youcome back? Is it really you? Is it?'  “什么!”我嚷道,拿不准该把他当作是人还是什么;我心里一惊,连双手都举了起来。“什么!你回来啦?可真是你吗?是吗?” `Yes, Heathcliff,' he replied, glancingfrom me up to the windows, which reflected a score of glittering moons, butshowed no lights from within. `Are they at home? where is she? Nelly, you arenot glad! you needn't be so disturbed. Is she here? Speak! I want to have oneword with her--your mistress. Go, and say some person from Gimmerton desires tosee her.'  “对了,希斯克利夫,”他回答道,把眼光从我的身上移到了头上的窗子上。那一排玻璃窗上反映出许多闪烁的月亮,可是里面并没有灯光透射出来。“他们在家吗?她在哪儿?耐莉,你并不高兴呀!你用不到慌张得那个样儿啊。她可在里边?说话呀:我要跟她——你的女主人——说一句话。去呀,说有个人从吉牟屯来,要看她。” `How will she take it?' I exclaimed. `What will she do? The surprisebewilders me--it will put her out of her head! And you are Heathcliff! Butaltered! Nay, there's no comprehending it. Have you been for a soldier?'“听到这消息,她会受得了吗?”我嚷道。“她将怎么办呀?这突如其来的事,真叫我不知如何是好——这一下要把她弄得晕头转向了!你果真是希斯克利夫吗?可是人变了!不,真叫人猜不透。你可是当兵去了吗?”  `Go and carry my message,' he interrupted impatiently. `I'm in hell tillyou do!'“快进去给我传句话,”他焦灼他打断我道。“你不去传话,我就象在地狱里受罪!”   Helifted the latch, and I entered; but when I got to the parlour where Mr and MrsLinton were, I could not persuade myself to proceed. At length, I resolved onmaking an excuse to ask if they would have the candles lighted, and I openedthe door. 他拨开门闩,我走进去了。但是走到客厅时(林顿夫妇正在里面),我的两条腿跨不开了。后来我想出个主意,只说是问问他们要不要上灯,于是我推开了门。  They sat together in a window whose lattice lay back against the wall,and displayed, beyond the garden trees and the wild green park, the valley ofGimmerton, with a long line of mist winding nearly to its top (for very soonafter you pass the chapel, as you may have noticed, the sough that runs fromthe marshes joins a beck which follows the bend of the glen).  他们俩正并肩坐在格子窗下,窗子朝里贴墙打开着,从窗里望出去,可以看见花园里的树木,那青翠广阔的苑林,那吉牟屯山谷,一道长长的白雾几乎旋绕到了山顶(你一走过礼拜堂,也许你会注意到,从洼地淌出来的淙淙细流,正好接上随着山谷弯曲的小溪)。Wuthering Heights rose above this silveryvapour; but our old house was invisible; it rather dips down on the other side.Both the room and its occupants, and the scene they gazed on, looked wondrouslypeaceful. I shrank reluctantly from performing my errand; and was actuallygoing away leaving it unsaid, after having put my question about the candles,when a sense of my folly compelled me to return, and mutter--`A person fromGimmerton wishes to see you, ma'am.'呼啸山庄耸立在这银白色的迷雾上,不过我们的老家却看不见;它降落在山岗的那一边。这间房屋,房屋里的两个人,和他们俩所眺望的景色,都显得异常的宁静。一想到我担任的差使,我不由得往后退缩了,而且在问过要不要上灯之后,果真一字不提地走开了;可是又感到下不了场,我只得转过身来,喃喃他说道:“有个人从吉牟屯来,要见你,太太。”
