Chapter 1 Cecily's diary England, 1820 This diary belongs to Cecily Brownswood Saturday I can hardly wait! Tonight is my very first ball. But last night, did I dream of waltzes, ballgowns and glittering chandeliers? Oh no. My dreams were far less pleasant...

第一章塞西莉的日记英国，1820年这本日记属于塞西莉·布朗伍德星期六，我简直等不及了！今晚是我的第一个舞会。 但昨晚，我梦到华尔兹，舞会礼服和闪闪发光的枝形吊灯了吗？ 哦,不。我的梦远没有那么愉快……

I dreamed that my window was open and the wind was howling through. A low voice whispered, "Let me in, Cecily. Invite me in." I heard myself say, "Come in," and a dark shape flew in through the window, like a black sheet flapping in the wind.

我梦见我的窗户开着，风呼啸而过。 一个低沉的声音低语道：“让我进去，塞西莉。 请我进去。”我听见自己说：“进来吧。”一个黑影从窗户飞了进来，就像一块黑布在风中飘动。

A moment later, a tall man in a long black cloak was in my room. His hair was jet-black and his face was very white. He leaned forward, as though for a kiss. But I saw a glimpse of pointed teeth. They were about to sink into my neck...

过了一会儿，一个身穿黑色长斗篷的高个子男人走进了我的房间。 他的头发乌黑，脸色煞白。 他向前倾着身子，好像要一个吻。 但我瞥见了尖尖的牙齿。 它们差点陷进我的脖子……

As I awoke, my hand went to my neck. Of course, there was nothing there. But I've never had such a vivid dream. Saturday night My sisters, my parents and I crammed into the coach, headed for the ball. But I wasn't very cheerful, as my new bodice was laced up so tight that breathing was a challenge.

当我醒来时，我的手摸到了脖子。 当然，那里什么也没有。 但我从来没有做过这么生动的梦。 星期六晚上，我的姐妹们，我的父母和我挤在教练，走向球。 但我不是很高兴，因为我的新紧身胸衣系得太紧，呼吸都很困难。

I wondered how on earth I was going to dance in my stiff dress, and if there'd be anyone worth dancing with. I doubted it; not in boring old Little Gidding.

我不知道我到底要怎么穿着这身僵硬的衣服跳舞，不知道是否有人值得我跳舞。 我对此表示怀疑；而不是无聊的小吉丁。
