我的头发要有个新飘带，还有我的新鞋。我的手套也准备好了。我的弄脏了，所以我就不带了。

琼想问为什么，可他看上去很严肃，琼没提问，而是说，“你为什么不去跳舞。”

她痛苦地喊叫了一声。罗瑞看到她不能走路，就立即邀请她们一起坐他祖父的马车回家。

Laurie wrote them both and he’s keeping yours because I won’t tell him my secret.
两封信都是罗瑞写的，他把你的信留下了，因为我不告诉他我的秘密。
I don’t want anything to do with love for a long time – perhaps never.
我在很长时间也不想做让任何事与爱有关。——也许永远不想。

她从来不会生很长时间的气，于是过了会儿她就借口借过劳伦斯先生一本书，急匆匆赶到那座大房子里去。

6 Cranford

The first thing to say is that Cranford[] is held by the ladies.
首先要说的是，克兰福德是由女士们控制着的。
Our friends have asked how you are, my dear, after your journey.
亲爱的，我们的朋友问你是否旅途劳顿。
Thin bread-and-butter was all that the Honourable[ˈɒnərəbl] Mrs Jamieson[] gave – and she was related[rɪˈleɪtɪd] to the late Lord Glenmire[].
吐了黄油的薄面包片就是尊敬的贾米森夫人用来待客的全部东西——她可是已故的格伦米尔勋爵的亲戚。
Miss Jekyns[] once said, when she was annoyed with Captain Brown, that it was time Miss Jessie[ˈdʒesi] stopped having dimple[ˈdɪmpl]s and looking like a child.
詹金斯小姐曾经说，和布朗上尉生气的时候，杰西小姐的酒窝就不见了，看起来也不像个孩子了。
She talked to those not playing cards,and later she sang while Miss Jekyns beat[biːt] time to music.
她和不打牌的人聊天，后来她唱起了歌，而詹金斯小姐随着音乐打拍子。
But Miss Jessie had happily repeated them, telling Miss Pole that her uncle sold the best knitting-wool in Edinburgh['edinbərə]. So, I say again, it was good of Miss Jenkyns to beat time to her song.
可是杰西小姐又高兴地重复了一遍，告诉波尔小姐她舅舅卖的毛线是爱丁堡最好的。所以，我再说一遍，詹金斯小姐能随着她的歌打拍子真是不容易。
“What do you think of them?” asked the captain enthusiastically[ɪnˌθjuːziˈæstɪkli], “Aren’t they good?”
“你觉得它们写得怎么样？”上尉热心地问，“挺不错的吧？”
I hope he won’t copy anything so self-important[ˌself ɪmˈpɔːtnt].

后来他就后悔自己说的那些话了，所以他站在詹金斯小姐的扶手椅旁边，想让她高兴起来。但她并不给他台阶下。
Miss Matty Jekyns wrote nice, kind, disorganized[dɪsˈɔːɡənaɪzd] letters, occasionally[əˈkeɪʒnəli] giving her own opinion but more often giving her elder sister’s. And Miss Deborah[ˈdebərə] Jekyns herself wrote – grand[ɡrænd] , slow-moving letters, using words like Brunonian[] for Brown.
马蒂-詹姆斯小姐信写得不错，很友好，但没有章法，有时候她会谈谈自己的看法，不过更多的时候她写的都是她姐姐的看法。德博拉-詹姆斯小姐写的信夸张而乏味，用“布鲁诺宁”这样的词来代替“布朗”。
Miss Jenkyns always talked at[] the captain and , though he did not reply, he made it quite clear that he preferred the writings of Mr Dickens[ˈdɪkɪnz] to those of Dr Johnson[ˈdʒɒnsn].
詹金斯小姐说话总是和上尉针锋相对，虽然上尉并不予以回应，他还是表明他更喜欢狄金斯先生而不是约翰逊博士的作品。

That illness, I decided , had followed Miss Matty’s refusal[rɪˈfjuːzl] of Mr Holbrook.

7 Washington Square

The doctor is a rich man, and is conscious[ˈkɒnʃəs] that after his death Catherine will inherit[ɪnˈherɪt] a fortune of 30,000 dollars a year. He wonders why such a charming and handsome young man is court[kɔːt]ing his dull[dʌl] daughter.
医生很有钱，也知道自己死后凯瑟琳会继承一笔每年3万美元的遗产。他想知道这样一个英俊潇洒的年轻人为什么会追求他那毫无趣致的女儿。。。

It will do him good. He’s so terribly conceited[kənˈsiːtɪd].
这对他有好处。他太自负了。
Admiring[ədˈmaɪərɪŋ] just the dress, instead of the person, might not seem very enthusiastic[ɪnˌθjuːziˈæstɪk], but Catherine did not think this.
夸奖她的裙子，而不是欣赏她本人，这似乎显得并不那么热情，不过凯瑟琳不这么认为。
Catherine and her aunt were sitting together by the fire in the parlour[ˈpɑːlə(r)].

Mrs Penniman[] smiled and nodded a little. “It’s a great secret, my dear child, but he is coming to court you!”

Doctor Sloper[] waited a week, before coming one morning into the back parlour, where he found his daughter alone.

The will he had changed shortly before his death now left Catherine only a fifth of his property.

9 Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Although this goodness never found its way into his conversation, it showed itself in his way of life.
虽然这种真与善他从不挂在嘴上，可他的待人处世能让人感觉到。
Mr Utterson’s best friend was a distant cousin called Richard['ritʃəd] Enfield[], who was well known as a fun-loving[] ‘man about town’
厄特森先生最要好的朋友是他的一个远房表亲，叫理查德-恩菲尔德。这个是城里出名的“爱热闹”，交际场里的老手。
One of these walks used to take them down a narrow side-street in a busy part of London.
有一次，他们又一起散步。走到伦敦闹市区一条狭窄的小街上。
The door had neither bell nor knocker[ˈnɒkə(r)] and looked dusty and uncared for.
门上既没有铃也没门环，还到处是灰，显然已好久没人打扫了。
The child’s family then arrived, and also a doctor. The child had been sent to fetch the doctor for a sick neighbour, and was on her way home again.
孩子家人这会儿也赶到了，还来了一个医生。原来小姑娘是去请医生给邻居家病人看病的，她正要回家。（出现also，要找上一个谓语。）
But the doctor, who seemed a quiet , kindly man, was also looking at our prisoner with murder in his eyes.
可连医生（他看上去那么和善、安静），也盯着那个罪犯看，好像恨不得把他给杀了。
But more than ten years ago Henry Jekyll became too – well, imaginative[ɪˈmædʒɪnətɪv] for me. He developed some strange , wild , unscientific ideas. I told him so, and I’ve seen very little of him since then.
不过，十多年前，亨利-杰基尔变得-嗯，对我来讲太不可思议了。他脑子里装了一些奇怪、荒唐、不科学的想法，我就是这么和他说的。从那以后，我就很少见到他了。（出现so，要找上一个宾语。）
The street was empty and silent and small sounds carried a long way.
街道上空荡荡的，寂静无声，一点响动都能传出去好远。
I can get rid of Mr Hyde any time I want. You must understand, however, that I take a great interest in poor Hyde.
只要我愿意，随时可以摆脱这个海德先生。但有一点希望你能理解，我对可怜的海德也极为关注。
Under her silvery hair was a smooth face with a false[fɔːls] smile and evil eyes, but she was polite enough.
满头白发下面是一张光滑的脸，带着虚伪的微笑和不怀好意的眼神，但不管怎么说，她还算客气。
Sure enough, the bank held[held] several thousand pounds in an account in the name of Edward Hyde.

Now we only need his description on the “Wanted” notices.
现在只要在“通缉”令上描述清楚他的相貌特征就行了。
The lawyer listened with a serious face. He did not like his friend’s feverish[ˈfiːvərɪʃ], excited look.
律师听着，一脸的严肃，他不喜欢博士那发热病似的兴奋神态。
I don’t care what happens to Hyde. I was thinking of my own reputation[ˌrepjuˈteɪʃn] …
我倒不在乎海德会怎样，我担心的是自己的名声。。。
Mr Guest was interested in the study[ˈstʌdi] of handwriting.
盖斯特先生专门研究过书法，是个鉴定笔迹的专家。
He had always been a good and generous man.Now, however, he became a churchgoer too. He was busy, he spent a lot of time in the fresh air and he looked happy and carefree.
他以前就非常仁慈和慷慨，现在还居然成了教堂的常客。他很忙，整天在户外的新鲜空气里呆着，兴高采烈，逍遥自在。
Jekyll is his normal self again – at least, he was until last week.
杰基尔也恢复了原来的老样子——至少上周还是这样。
Little by little, however, he became tired of his friend’s refusal[rɪˈfjuːzl] to see him, and his visits became less frequent.
但渐渐地，他对朋友拒绝见自己感到心灰意冷，来访的次数也越来越少了。
The expression on Doctor Jekyll’s face had upset them both deeply.
杰基尔博士脸上的表情让他们为他感到深深地难过。
The thin trees were blowing wildly, and untidy grey clouds were sailing past a pale, sickly moon.
细小的树木猛烈地摇摆着，乱七八糟、奇形怪状的黑云飘过苍白、昏暗的月亮。
For a week now the person – or thing – in that study has been crying night and day for some special chemical powders. My master was in the habit, when he was particularly busy with his scientific work, of writing orders on pieces of paper and leaving them on the stairs.
快一个星期了，那个人，也许是什么怪物，在书房里没日没夜哭喊着要一种特别的药粉。主人每次一忙，就是这样，把命令写在纸条上，扔在楼梯上。
Have you anything else to tell me , Poole? Once, I heard it weeping.
还有什么其他情况吗，普尔？有一次，我听见他在哭。
There were bottles of liquid and some white powders lying in saucer[ˈsɔːsə(r)]s.
上面摆着盛着各种各样液体的小瓶子，碟子里有些白色粉末。
But he had written all over this one - the handwriting was unmistakable[ˌʌnmɪˈsteɪkəbl] - before tearing it and throwing it on the floor.
可这本书在没有被撕坏和扔到地上之前，上面写满了字，笔迹也没错。
We must be careful, Poole, or we may involve[ɪnˈvɒlv] your master in some terrible danger.
我们必须小心行事，否则可能会把你的主人拖到什么惨祸里去的。
Although we have sometimes disagreed on scientific matters, I have always remained your friend.

He will be here with a locksmith[ˈlɒksmɪθ].
他会找一个锁匠在这儿等着。
You’ve been an unbeliever[ˌʌnbɪˈliːvə(r)] all your life. You laughed at Doctor Jekyll’s ideas and called them unscientific rubbish – now see for yourself.
你一生都不肯相信，还嘲笑杰基尔博士的观点，称它们是不科学的垃圾，现在，你请看吧。
The serious , successful young doctor was me, and the wild, fun-loving , irresponsible[ˌɪrɪˈspɒnsəbl] young man was me too. I thought about this for a long time and slowly I realized that I was not extraordinary[ɪkˈstrɔːdnri] in this.
那个严肃认真、事业有成的年轻博士是我，那个充满野性、寻欢作乐、不负责任的年轻人也是我。我想了很久一段时间，慢慢地，我明白这样并没有什么特别之处。
And so, late one disastrous[dɪˈzɑːstrəs] night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug.
在一个该诅咒的夜晚，我把各种成分混在一起，配成了我的药。
He was a normal man with normal fault[fɔːlt]s and weaknesses, and Hyde was too strong for him.
他是个正常人，有正常人的缺点和弱点，而海德对他来说太强大了。
In my desperate fear and danger, I was like a pain-maddened[ˈmædn] animal, ready to kill or wound[wuːnd] at any moment.
在绝望、恐惧和危机中，我好比是让伤痛激疯了的野兽，任何时候都会伤人。
From that day onwards the situation worsen[ˈwɜːsn]ed. I needed larger and more frequent dose[dəʊs]s in order to stay in Jekyll’s body.
从那天起，情况恶化了，药量打了，次数也多了，只有这样才能维持着杰基尔的外貌。
