10 Pip and Herbert talk about love
I returned 1 to London, dreaming 2 of the beautiful girl, now a woman, who had 3 so influenced 4 my childhood,and who, I hoped 6, would 7 share 8 my future 9 life 10. I am sorry to say I did 11 not think about dear, good Joe at all. I felt I had to ex-press my feelings 13 to someone 14, and so that evening I told Herbert my secret 16.
Instead 17 of being 18 surprised 19, as 20 I expected 21, my friend replied 22,
‘I know that already 23, Handel.You never told me, but it was 25 obvious 26.You've always loved Estella.It's very lucky 27 that you seem 28 to have been chosen to marry 29 her.Does she, er,admire you?’
I shook 30 my head sadly 31.‘Not at all. And Herbert, you may think me lucky.I have great expectations,I know.But all that depends 32 on one person 33! And I still don't really know how much I'll receive 34, or when! Nothing is certain 35!’
‘Now, Handel,'said 36 Herbert cheerfully,‘don't lose 38 hope 5.Mr Jaggers himself 39 told you you would have a large fortune,didn't he? He would never make a mistake 40 about something like that.Anyway 41, you'll be twenty-one soon.Perhaps 42 you'll discover 43 more then.’
‘Thank you,Herbert!’ I said, feeling 12 much better.
‘But I want to ask you something, my dear Handel,'said Herbert,looking serious 44 for once.‘Think of Estella, and her education 45, and how unhappy 46 you may be with her.Couldn't you possibly-and I'm saying 47 this as a friend, remember-couldn't you forget about her?’
‘I know you're right, Herbert,’I said miserably,‘but I can never stop loving 48 her.’
‘Well, never mind 49!'said Herbert.‘Now I have something to tell you myself 50. I am engaged 51.’
‘May I ask the young lady's name?’
‘Clara.Her mother's dead 52, and she lives with her father.We must keep our feelings for each other secret, because I haven't enough money to marry her yet 53. As soon as I start in-suring ships we can marry.’Herbert tried to look hopeful 54 about his future, but this time he couldn't even 15 manage 55 his usual 56 cheerful 37 smile.
One day I received 57 a letter which made 58 my heart 59 beat 60 fast.
‘I am coming to London the day after tomorrow by the mid-day coach 61.Miss Havisham wants you to meet me.
Estella.’
If there had been time,I would have ordered 62 several 63 new suits 64.I ate 65 nothing until 66 the day arrived, and all morning I waited impatiently 67 for the coach.She seemed 68 more beautiful than ever 24, and her manner 69 to me was very pleasant 70, as I took 71 her to the house in London where Miss Havisham had arranged 72 for her to stay. Her life seemed to be planned 74 by Miss Havisham right down to the smallest detail 75.I only hoped I was part 76 of that plan 73.
10 匹普和赫伯特谈论爱情
我回到伦敦,梦见那个漂亮的姑娘,一个对我童年产生重大影响的女人,我希望和这位姑娘分享我未来的生活。我很抱歉地说,亲爱的好人乔在我心目中早已化为泡影了,我觉得必须向别人表达我的感情。因此,那天晚上,我把秘密告诉了赫伯特。
当期望着我的朋友回答时,我大吃一惊。
“我已经知道了,汉德尔。你从来没有告诉我,但那是显而易见的。你总是爱着艾丝黛拉,看起来你选择她和你结婚,真是十分幸运的。是她,呃,喜欢你吗?”
我伤心地摇摇头,“一点也不喜欢,赫伯特,你可以认为我幸运,我有一个远大前程,我知道。但是,所有一切都靠的是一个人!我仍然搞不明白我到底会得到多少,会到什么时候!事事都拿不准!”
“喂,汉德尔,”赫伯特高兴地说,“不要丧失信心,贾格斯先生他自己告诉过你,你将有一大笔财富,是吗?像这种事情一样,他从来没有做错过什么事儿。无论怎样,你马上21岁了,那时,或许你会看得更透。”
“谢谢你,赫伯特!”我心情舒畅地说。
“但是,我要向你问点事情,亲爱的汉德尔,”赫伯特说,看上去这一次特别认真。“艾丝黛拉认为,她有教养,你和她怎么会幸福。你不可能想得通——做为一个朋友我这样说,记住——你不可能把她忘记吧?”
“我知道,你说得对,赫伯特,”我自悲地说,“但是,我从来不能终止爱她。”
“喂,别在意!”赫伯特说,“现在,我把自己的一些事情告诉你,我订婚了。”
“我可以问这位年轻小姐的名字吗?”
“克莱拉。她母亲去世了,和她父亲生活在一起。我们必须为我们的感情互相保密。因为,我也没有足够的钱和她结婚。我的船只保险业务一开张,我们就能结婚。”赫伯特想方设法显得他的前途有希望。但是,这一次他甚至不能控制他平时的欢乐微笑。
一天,我收到了一封来信,这封信让我心慌。
“后天我乘午班马车到伦敦,郝薇香小姐要你来接我。
艾丝黛拉。”
如果有时间,我会订几套新衣服。我不吃不喝直到这一天的到来;整个上午我不耐烦地等待着马车。她好像比以前更美丽了,当我带着她去郝薇香小姐已经为她在伦敦安排好的住处时,她对我的态度十分好。她的生活看起来是被郝薇香小姐操纵着,直到很小的细节,只希望我是被操纵的一部分。
