3 Pip Visits Miss Havisham

CHAPTER 3 Pip Visits Miss Havisham The next morning, Uncle Pumblechook walked me to Miss Havisham's. Within fifteen minutes we stopped at the biggest house I had ever seen. Made of brick, its many windows were either walled up or barred. Two large chimneys poked up from the roof, and thin black strips of smoke drifted out from each one. We could barely see the house through the giant, overgrown courtyard. A locked gate stopped us from walking right in. Peering through it, I noticed a large, abandoned building off to the side. We rang the bell and waited. "Who's there?" a voice cried out from a window at the top of the house.

第三章皮普拜访郝薇香小姐第二天早上，潘波趣舅舅送我到郝薇香小姐家。 15分钟后，我们停在了我所见过的最大的房子前。 它的许多窗户都是砖砌的，要么用墙围起来，要么用栅栏锁住。 两个大烟囱从屋顶伸出来，每个烟囱里都飘出黑色的细烟条。 透过杂草丛生的大院子，我们几乎看不见房子。 一扇锁着的门阻止我们直接走进去。 透过它，我注意到路边有一座废弃的大建筑。 我们按了门铃，等着。 “谁在那儿？”一个声音从房顶的窗户里喊道。

"Pumblechook and Pip," Uncle said. A young lady came outside with the keys in her hand. She was pretty, but maybe a bit too proud. I felt embarrassed and ashamed when she looked me up and down. "So, this is Pip, is it?" she said with a sneer as she unlocked the door. "I guess you might as well come in." I left Uncle Pumblechook and followed the girl. She locked the gate behind us and we went into the courtyard. Grass grew in every nook and cranny of the pavement. She waited impatiently as I looked around. The place was falling apart. "Manor House continues to crumble. The factory over there"—she pointed to the rundown old structure behind us—"also never gets used." "Is that what this house is called, miss? Manor House?" I asked. "One of its two names," she said. "The other is Satis, which is Greek—or Latin, or Hebrew, or all three—for 'enough.'" "Enough House. That's a funny name." "It's supposed to mean that whoever lives here

“潘波趣和匹普，”舅舅说。 一位年轻女士手里拿着钥匙走了出来。 她很漂亮，但可能有点太骄傲了。 当她上下打量我时，我感到尴尬和羞愧。 “那么，这就是匹普，是吗？”她一边打开门一边冷笑着说。 “我想你还是进来吧。” 我离开潘波趣舅舅，跟着那个女孩。 她锁上了我们身后的大门，我们走进了院子。 人行道的每个角落和缝隙都长满了草。 我四处张望时，她不耐烦地等着。 这个地方正在分崩离析。 “庄园继续崩塌。 那边的工厂”——她指着我们身后那座破旧的建筑——“也从来没用过。” “这房子就是这么叫的吗，小姐？” 庄园的房子?”我问。“它的两个名字之一，”她说。 另一个是Satis，是希腊语、拉丁语、希伯来语，或者三种都有，意思是“够了”。’”“够了，房子。 这名字真有趣。”“应该是说，住在这里的人

has enough. Those were happier days. Let's go, boy, don't dawdle," she said. Even though we looked to be the same age, I felt like my sister was there scolding me. When she called me boy, she spoke as if she were a queen and I were her servant. We entered the house by a side door and walked through dark hallways, lit only by the single candle she carried. For some reason, I felt nervous. She stopped in front of a door. "Go in," she said. "After you, miss," I said, afraid of being left alone in this scary place. She said, "Don't be silly. I'm not going in." And she walked away. Swallowing my fear, I knocked at the door. Someone on the other side said, "Enter." I saw Miss Havisham for the first time. She was dressed in rich materials—silk, lace, satin— but she wore only one shoe. Drooping flowers were tucked behind her ear. Everything, even her hair, was white with a faded yellow tinge. Her clothes were meant for a much younger woman—a bride—and were too big for her bony frame.

有足够的。那些日子更快乐。 走吧，孩子，别磨蹭了，”她说。 尽管我们看起来年龄相仿，但我觉得我姐姐在那里骂我。 当她叫我孩子的时候，她说话的口气就好像她是女王，而我是她的仆人。 我们从侧门进入房子，穿过黑暗的走廊，只有她拿着的一根蜡烛照亮了走廊。 出于某种原因，我感到紧张。 她停在一扇门前。 “进去吧，”她说。“你先请，小姐。”我说，害怕一个人留在这个可怕的地方。 她说：“别傻了。 我不进去。”然后她走开了。 我强忍着恐惧，敲了敲门。 另一边有人说：“请进。” 我第一次见到郝薇香小姐。 她穿着华丽的衣服——丝绸、花边、缎子——但她只穿了一只鞋。 下垂的花朵插在她的耳后。 所有的一切，甚至她的头发，都是白色的，带着淡黄色。 她的衣服是给一个年轻得多的女人——一个新娘穿的，对她骨瘦如柴的身材来说太大了。

"Who is it?" she said in a shaky voice. "Pip. Mr. Pumblechook has brought me to play." "Come here. Let me look at you," she ordered. I stood in front of her, looking around so I didn't have to peer into her sunken eyes. I noticed that every clock in the room had stopped at twenty minutes to nine. I wondered why they were all broken. "You are not afraid of a woman who hasn't seen the sun since you were born?" she asked. "No." "Do you know what this is?" She placed her hand on her chest. I answered, "Your heart." "Broken!" she shouted. "I need you to take my mind off it. Now, play." I didn't move. "Play, I said, play!" "B-by myself?" "Call Estella!" I walked back and shouted "Estella!" The snobby girl who had showed me into the

“是谁？”她用颤抖的声音说。 “皮普。潘波趣先生带我来玩的。” “过来。让我看看你，”她命令道。 我站在她面前，环顾四周，这样我就不用盯着她凹陷的眼睛看了。 我注意到房间里的每只钟都停在差二十分九点。 我想知道为什么它们都坏了。 “你不怕一个从你出生就没见过太阳的女人吗？”她问。 “没有。”“你知道这是什么吗？”她把手放在胸前。 我回答说：“你的心。”“坏了！”她喊道。 “我需要你把我的注意力从这件事上移开。 现在,玩了。”我没有动。 “玩，我说了，玩！”“用自己?”“叫埃斯特拉!”我走回去，喊道：“艾丝黛拉！”那个带我进酒吧的势利女孩

house came into the room. Miss Havisham said, "Play cards with this boy to entertain me." Estella pouted. "Play cards with a boy who has rough hands and thick boots? He's common!" I immediately hid my hands in my pockets. Miss Havisham picked up a handful of sparkling jewels, rich necklaces full of gems, and said to Estella, "These will be all yours one day. Is it too much for you to do as I ask? Play cards with him." Estella picked up the deck and shuffled. I saw that Miss Havisham's other shoe lay next to her. Its perfect sole didn't have a mark on it, and the style was years out of date. The stocking on her bare foot was ragged and torn. Miss Havisham was so pale that if light was allowed into this room, she might turn to dust. Estella won the first game. I dealt another hand. When I made a mistake, Estella told me I was foolish and silly. Miss Havisham said, "She says mean things about you, boy. What do you say about her?" "It isn't polite, ma'am." "Whisper in my ear."

豪斯走进房间。郝薇香小姐说：“和这个男孩玩牌，逗我开心。” 埃斯特拉撅着嘴。“跟一个手粗脚粗的男孩打牌？” 他的!”我立刻把手插进口袋里。 郝薇香小姐拿起一把闪闪发光的珠宝，镶满宝石的项链，对艾丝黛拉说：“总有一天这些都是你的。 你照我说的做是不是太过分了？ 和他玩牌。”艾丝黛拉拿起那副牌，开始洗牌。 我看到郝薇香小姐的另一只鞋放在她旁边。 它完美的鞋底没有一点痕迹，而且款式已经过时好几年了。 她光脚上穿的袜子又破又破。 郝薇香小姐脸色苍白，如果让光线照进这个房间，她可能会变成灰尘。 艾丝黛拉赢了第一场比赛。 我又发了一手牌。当我犯了一个错误，艾丝黛拉说我愚蠢和愚蠢。 郝薇香小姐说：“她说你的坏话，孩子。 你说她怎么样？”“这是不礼貌的，夫人。” “在我耳边低语。”

I whispered Estella was proud, pretty, and perhaps too mean. "I think I'd like to go home now." "You'll never be her friend?" "I would be her friend, but I want to go home now." Miss Havisham said, "Finish the game first." Estella beat me again and again. When we finished playing, Miss Havisham asked, "When shall I have you back again?" Before I could reply, Miss Havisham told me to come back in six days. "Yes, ma'am," I said. "Estella," she said slowly, "feed him. Let him roam around the courtyard before he leaves." I followed Estella and her candle through the house. The sunlight almost blinded me when she opened the door. "Wait here, boy." The door slammed, and I stood alone in the courtyard. When she returned, Estella set down bread and meat on a stone as if I were a dog. Feelings of anger and hurt welled up inside me, and I started to cry. Estella made fun of me, which made me cry more. I ran away to the factory and

我低声说艾丝黛拉骄傲、漂亮，但也许太小气了。 “我想我现在想回家了。” “你永远不会成为她的朋友？”“我想成为她的朋友，但我现在想回家。” 郝薇香小姐说：“先完成游戏。” 艾丝黛拉一次又一次地打我。 我们玩完后，郝薇香小姐问：“你什么时候回来？”我还没来得及回答，郝薇香小姐就叫我六天后再来。 “是的，夫人，”我说。“艾丝黛拉，”她慢慢地说，“喂他。 在他离开之前，让他在院子里转转。” 我跟着艾丝黛拉拿着她的蜡烛穿过房子。 她开门时，阳光几乎把我照瞎了。 “在这儿等着，孩子。”门砰地关上了，我一个人站在院子里。 当她回来时，艾丝黛拉把面包和肉放在一块石头上，好像我是一条狗。 愤怒和受伤的感觉涌上心头，我哭了起来。 艾丝黛拉取笑我，这使我哭得更厉害了。 我跑到工厂去了
