5 Lose the world for love

Chapter 5 Lose the world for love The guests left and a new visitor came unexpectedly to Thornfield, a Mr. Mason from the West Indies. I saw Mr. Rochester's face grow white. I heard him mutter, "I never thought he'd come here." I heard Mr. Mason demand, "Take me to her." Her? What did he mean? He left, and Mr. Rochester led me to the garden seat beneath the chestnut tree.

客人们走了，一位新客人意外地来到了桑菲尔德，他是来自西印度群岛的梅森先生。 我看见罗切斯特先生的脸变白了。 我听到他喃喃自语：“我从没想过他会来这里。” 我听到梅森先生要求：“带我去见她。” 她吗?他是什么意思？他走了，罗切斯特先生把我领到栗树下花园的座位上。

"I wish I were on a quiet island with only you, Jane. If all my friends sneered at me and dropped me, what would you do?" "I'd stay with you." "You'd suffer for my sake?" "I would, sir." "Suppose, Jane, you were not yourself, but a wild boy. Imagine yourself in a foreign land, pretend there you made a hideous mistake, the result of which must ruin your existence forever. You are bitter, unhappy, then you make a new friend. You want to start again, make a new life. Wouldn't you ignore an obstacle that stands between you and happiness?" What could I say? The wind whispered, the birds sang their song, but answer had I none. "It's time to move on," he said. This was it. The blow was coming. "Are you going to be married, sir?" I asked. "Exactly. You've hit the nail on the head."

“我真希望和你在一个安静的小岛上，简。 如果我所有的朋友都嘲笑我，抛弃我，你会怎么办？”“我会和你在一起。” “你愿意为我受苦吗？”“我会的，先生。” “简，假如你不是你自己，而是一个野孩子。 想象你自己在异国他乡，假装你在那里犯了一个可怕的错误，这个错误的结果将永远毁掉你的生活。 你痛苦，不快乐，然后你交了一个新朋友。 你想重新开始，开始新的生活。 难道你不会忽视挡在你和幸福之间的障碍吗？”我还能说什么呢？ 风在窃窃私语，鸟儿在歌唱，但我没有回答。 “是时候向前看了，”他说。 就是这样。打击就要来了。 “你要结婚了吗，先生？”我问。 “没错。你说到点子上了。”

I sobbed; I could take no more. "Here at Thornfield I've found happiness. Now I know you, Mr. Rochester, the thought of being torn from you is like facing death." "Why should you be torn away?" "Because of your bride..." "No, you must stay, Jane." "I must GO," I cried. "How can I stay and be nothing to you? Do you think I am without feelings? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, that I have no heart and soul? No! I have as much soul and heart as you, and if I had wealth or beauty, I should make it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you." "Jane," he interrupted, "it is you I want to marry." I was silent. "Do you doubt me?" "Entirely."

我哭;我再也受不了了。 “在桑菲尔德，我找到了幸福。 现在我了解你了，罗切斯特先生，一想到与你分离就像面对死亡。” “你为什么要被带走？”“因为你的新娘……” “不，你必须留下来，简。” “我得走了，”我叫道。“我怎么能留下来，对你来说无足轻重呢？” 你以为我没有感情吗？ 你以为我穷、卑微、平凡、瘦小，就没有心和灵魂吗？ 不!我有和你一样的灵魂和心灵，如果我有财富或美貌，我会让你难以离开我，就像我现在难以离开你一样。” “简，”他插嘴说，“我要娶的正是你。” 我沉默了。“你怀疑我吗？”“完全”。

"You think I love Blanche Ingram? You're wrong! You I love as my own flesh. I entreat you, accept me." Wildly, he added, "Say my name, Edward. Say, 'Edward, I will marry you'." "Dear Edward. I will." He laid his cheek on mine. "God pardon me. Let no man interfere." Night came on, quickly and violently. As we sat there, the chestnut tree writhed and groaned in the wind. A searing flash leaped from the dark clouds, a peal of thunder rattled and the rain rushed down, sending us inside.

“你以为我爱布兰奇·英格拉姆？” 你错了!我爱你如同爱自己的肉体。 我恳求你，接受我吧。” 他疯狂地补充道：“说出我的名字，爱德华。 说：‘爱德华，我愿意嫁给你。’” “亲爱的爱德华。我会的。”他把脸贴在我的脸上。 “上帝原谅我。不要让任何人干涉。” 夜来了，又快又猛。 我们坐在那里，栗树在风中扭动呻吟。 一道灼热的闪电从乌云中跃出，雷声隆隆，大雨倾盆，把我们送进了屋里。

In the morning I saw the tree had been struck by lightning and was split in two. I wondered if Mr. Rochester's proposal had been a dream, until I saw the mirror reflect my rosy cheeks, my eyes bright with hope, and heard him renew his words of love. "I'll shower you with jewels," he promised, "give you a priceless veil." "I don't need jewels or fine clothes." "Four weeks today, and you'll be mine." Mrs. Fairfax was amazed to hear our news, and doubtful. "No equality of fortune or position," she said. "Are you sure?" I grew irritated with her, preferring Adèle's undisguised delight. Mr. Rochester planned to take me away the very moment the ceremony was over, and travel abroad.

第二天早上，我看见那棵树被闪电劈成了两截。 我不知道罗切斯特先生的求婚是不是一场梦，直到我看到镜子里映出我红润的脸颊和充满希望的眼睛，听到他又说了一遍爱的话语。 “我会给你珠光宝气，”他保证说，“给你一个无价的面纱。” “我不需要珠宝或漂亮的衣服。” “再过四个星期，你就是我的了。” 费尔法克斯太太听到我们的消息感到惊讶，并表示怀疑。 “没有财富和地位的平等，”她说。 “你确定吗？”我对她越来越生气了，我更喜欢阿迪勒那种毫不掩饰的喜悦。 罗切斯特先生打算婚礼一结束就带我去国外旅行。
