I did as he ordered, and when the lawyer arrived I was asked to step up to the room.

我照他的吩咐辦了。律師來(lái)到時(shí)，我被召喚到他的房間里。

The fire was burning brightly, and in the grate there was a mass of black,

爐火熊熊，在壁爐的爐柵里有一堆黑色蓬松的紙灰燼。

fluffy ashes, as of burned paper, while the brass box stood open and empty beside it.

那黃銅箱匣放在一旁，敞著蓋，里面空空如也。

As I glanced at the box I noticed, with a start,

我瞧了那匣子一眼，大吃一驚，

that upon the lid was printed the treble K which I had read in the morning upon the envelope.

因?yàn)槟窍蛔由w上印著我上午在信封上所見(jiàn)到的那樣的三個(gè)K字。

'I wish you, John,' said my uncle, 'to witness my will.

'約翰，我希望你，'我伯父說(shuō)道，'作我的遺囑見(jiàn)證人。

I leave my estate, with all its advantages and all its disadvantages,

我把我的產(chǎn)業(yè)，連帶它的一切有利和不利之處，

to my brother, your father, whence it will, no doubt, descend to you.

留給我的兄弟--也就是你的父親。無(wú)疑以后從你父親那里又會(huì)遺留給你的。

If you can enjoy it in peace, well and good!

如果你能平安無(wú)事地享有它們，自然是好；

If you find you cannot, take my advice, my boy, and leave it to your deadliest enemy.

不過(guò)，如果你發(fā)覺(jué)不能，那么，孩子，我勸你把它留給你的死敵。

I am sorry to give you such a two-edged thing, but I can't say what turn things are going to take.

我很遺憾給你留下這樣一個(gè)具有雙重意義的東西，但是我也真說(shuō)不上事情會(huì)向哪個(gè)方向發(fā)展。

Kindly sign the paper where Mr. Fordham shows you.'

請(qǐng)你按照福德姆律師在遺囑上指給你的地方簽上你的名字吧。'

I signed the paper as directed, and the lawyer took it away with him.

我照律師所指之處簽了名，律師就將遺囑帶走了。
