【08 Clarissa 克拉麗莎】
------------------------------------------
Indifferent as my head was, I had a little time to consider the man and his behavior. He terrified me with his looks, and with his violent emotions, as he gazed upon me. Evident joy—suppressed emotions, as I have since recollected. His sentences short, and pronounced as if his breath were touched. Never saw I his abominable eyes look as then they looked—triumph in them.—fierce and wild; and more disagreeable than the women’s at the vile house appeared to me when I first saw them: and at times, such a leering, mischief-bodingcast. I would have given the world to have been a hundred miles from him. Yet his behaviour was decent—a decency, however, that I might have seen to be struggled for—for he snatched my hand two or three times, with a vehemence in his grasp that hurt me; speaking words of tenderness through his shut teeth, as it seemed; and let it go with a beggar—voiced humble accent; yet his words and manner carrying the appearance of strong and almost convulsed passion. Oh my dear. What mischiefs was he not then meditating.
儘管我的頭腦並不出眾,但我還是有片刻時間來考慮這個人和他的舉止。他盯著我時,他的表情、他狂暴的脾氣都嚇壞了我。猶記起,我是壓抑快樂型性格,我一直如此。他的話很簡短,他發出聲音時,仿佛呼吸被阻礙著。當他們隨後再看時,我從沒見過他這麼可惡的目光——他們成功了!——目光凶狠又野蠻;比我在邪惡的房屋中第一次見到的那些女人的目光更令人惡心;不時還投來些不懷好意、惡作劇的目光。如果可以的話,我寧願離他有100英裡遠。他的舉止是莊重的——還算客氣,然而,我出於本能反抗起來——因為他有兩三次抓住我的手,十分熱情,但抓傷了我;他的言語很柔和,但他說話時似乎不張開嘴;更不用說他乞丐般的腔調了;然而他的話語和行為帶著一種強烈到幾乎震顫的熱情!哦,天哪!他是多麼罪惡,後來卻不去反省。
I complained once or twice of thirst. I called for water: some table-beer was brought me: beer, I suppose, was a better vehicle(if I were not dosed enough before)for their potions. I told the maid that she knew I seldom tasted malt-liquor: yet, suspecting nothing of this nature, being extremely thirsty, I drank it and instantly, as it were, found myself much worse than before; as if inebriated, I should fancy: I know not how.
我抱怨了一兩次我口渴了。我想要水:他們給我一些輕啤酒:我想,啤酒,是他們加入他們藥劑的不錯工具(如果以前的劑量還不夠大的話)。我和那個女仆說,她知道我以前很少喝麥芽酒:可是,我沒有考慮我這種習慣,因為我實在太渴了,所以立刻喝下了酒。好像是當時,我就發現情況比以前更糟;我像喝醉了一樣,我應該想想:我不知道怎麼了。
