I wanted to kill him, and I only made a fool of myself. “我要杀死他,结果却徒然使自己出丑。”
He was silent for a long time, and then he said what I knew was in his mind. 他沉默了半晌,最后他说出的我知道是郁积在他心里的话。
If I'd only waited, perhaps it would have gone all right. “要是我多等些日子,也许就不会发生什么事了。
I shouldn't have been so impatient. 我真不应该这么耐不住性子。
Oh, poor child, what have I driven her to? 啊,可怜的孩子,是我把她逼到这一地步啊!”
I shrugged 1 my shoulders, but did not speak. 我耸了耸肩膀,但是没有说什么。
I had no sympathy for Blanche Stroeve, but knew that it would only pain poor Dirk if I told him exactly what I thought of her. 我对勃朗什·施特略夫一点也不同情,但是我知道,如果我把实话告诉可怜的戴尔克,只会增加他的痛苦。
He had reached that stage of exhaustion 2 when he could not stop talking. He went over again every word of the scene. 这时候他已经疲惫不堪,无力控制自己,所以只顾滔滔不绝地说下去。他把那场风波中每人讲的话又重复了一遍。
Now something occurred to him that he had not told me before; 他一会儿想起一件忘记了告诉我的事,
now he discussed what he ought to have said instead of what he did say; then he lamented 3 his blindness. 一会儿又同我讨论起他当时该说这句话,而不该说那句话。
He regretted that he had done this, and blamed himself that he had omitted the other. 他为自己看不清问题感到万分痛心,懊悔自己做了某件事,责怪自己没有做哪一件。
It grew later and later, and at last I was as tired as he. 夜渐渐深了,最后我也同他一样疲劳不堪了。
What are you going to do now? I said finally. “你现在准备做什么?”我最后问他说。
What can I do? I shall wait till she sends for me. “我能够做什么?我只能等着她招呼我回去。”
Why don't you go away for a bit? “为什么你不到外地去走走呢?”
No, no; I must be at hand when she wants me. “不,不成。如果她需要,我一定要叫她能够找到我。”
For the present he seemed quite lost. He had made no plans. 他对于眼前该怎么办似乎一点主意也没有。他没有什么计划。
When I suggested that he should go to bed he said he could not sleep; he wanted to go out and walk about the streets till day. 最后我建议他该去睡会儿觉,他说他睡不着,他要到外面去走个通宵。
He was evidently in no state to be left alone. 当然,在这种情况下我决不能丢下他不管。
I persuaded him to stay the night with me, and I put him into my own bed. 我劝他在我这里过夜,我把他安置在我的床上。
I had a divan 4 in my sitting-room 5, and could very well sleep on that. 在起居间里我还有一只长沙发,我可以睡在那上面。
He was by now so worn out that he could not resist my firmness. 他这时已经精疲力竭,所以还是依着我的主意上了床。
I gave him a sufficient dose of veronal to insure his unconsciousness for several hours. 我给他服了一些佛罗那,叫他可以人事不省地好好睡几个钟头觉。
I thought that was the best service I could render him. 我想这是我能够给他的最大的帮助了。
