Strickland was a weird figure as he lay there, thinner than ever, with his ragged red beard and his eyes staring feverishly into vacancy; his illness seemed to have made them larger, and they had an unnatural brightness.

思特里克蘭德躺在床上，樣子古怪怕人，他的身軀比平常更加削瘦，紅色的胡子亂成一團(tuán)，眼睛興奮地凝視著半空；因?yàn)樯?，他的眼睛顯得非常大，炯炯發(fā)光，但那光亮顯得很不自然。

Does he ever talk to you in the night? I asked her once.

“夜里他跟你說過話嗎？”有一次我問她。

Never.

“從來沒有?！?/p>

Do you dislike him as much as you did?

“你還象過去那樣不喜歡他嗎？”

More, if anything.

“比以前更厲害了?！?/p>

She looked at me with her calm gray eyes. Her expression was so placid, it was hard to believe that she was capable of the violent emotion I had witnessed.

她用一雙安詳?shù)摹⒒疑难劬ν?。她的神色非常恬靜，我很難相信她居然能象那次我看到的那樣大發(fā)脾氣。

Has he ever thanked you for what you do for him?

“你替他做了這么多事，他謝過你嗎？”

No, she smiled.

“沒有。”她笑了笑說。

He's inhuman.

“這人真不通人情。”

He's abominable.

“簡直太可惡了?！?/p>

Stroeve was, of course, delighted with her. He could not do enough to show his gratitude for the whole-hearted devotion with which she had accepted the burden he laid on her. But he was a little puzzled by the behaviour of Blanche and Strickland towards one another.

施特略夫?qū)λ匀环浅M意。她這樣把他撂給她的挑子擔(dān)了過來，而且全心全意地履行自己的職責(zé)，他無論怎樣做也無法表示對她的感激。但是他對勃朗什同思特里克蘭德彼此的關(guān)系又有些不解。

Do you know, I've seen them sit there for hours together without saying a word?

“你知道，我看見過他們在一起坐了好幾個(gè)鐘頭，誰也一句話不說?！?/p>

On one occasion, when Strickland was so much better that in a day or two he was to get up, I sat with them in the studio. Dirk and I were talking. Mrs. Stroeve sewed, and I thought I recognised the shirt she was mending as Strickland's. He lay on his back; he did not speak. Once I saw that his eyes were fixed on Blanche Stroeve, and there was in them a curious irony. Feeling their gaze, she raised her own, and for a moment they stared at one another.

有一次我和這一家人一同坐在畫室里，這時(shí)思特里克蘭德的身體已經(jīng)快好了，再過一兩天就要起床了。戴爾克同我閑聊。施特略夫太太在縫補(bǔ)什么；她縫的東西我是認(rèn)得的，那是思特里克蘭德的一件襯衣。思特里克蘭德仰面躺著，一句話也不說。有一次我看到他的目光停在勃朗什·施特略夫身上，帶著一種奇怪的嘲弄神情。勃朗什感到他正在看自己，抬起眼睛，他們倆彼此凝視了一會兒。
