Great Expectations


As the night was fast falling,and as the moon,being past the full,would not rise early,we held a little council:a short one,for clearly our course was to lie by at the first lonely tavern 1 we could find.So,they plied 2 their oars 3 once more,and I looked out for anything like a house.Thus we held on,speaking little,for four or five dull miles.It was very cold,and,a collier coming by us,with her gallery-fire smoking and flaring,looked like a comfortable home.The night was as dark by this time as it would be until morning;and what light we had,seemed to come more from the river than the sky,as the oars in their dipping stuck at a few reflected stars.


天黑得很快,偏巧这天又是下弦月,月亮不会很早升起。我们就稍稍商量了一下,可是也用不着多讨论,因为情况是明摆着的,再划下去我们一遇到冷落的酒店就得投宿。于是他们又使劲打起浆来,我则用心寻找岸上是否隐隐约约有什么房屋的模样。这样又赶了四五英里路,一路上好不气闷,大家简直不说一句话。天气非常冷,一艘煤船从我们近旁驶过,船上厨房里生着火,炊烟缕缕,火光荧荧,在我们看来简直就是个安乐家了。这时夜已透黑,看来就要这样一直黑到天明,我们仅有的一点光亮似乎不是来自天空,而是来自河上,一浆又一浆的,搅动着那寥寥几颗倒映在水里的寒星。
