Suddenly, without any preliminary sound in the midst of the utter stillness, the door of my room swung slowly open.

突然，在這極度寂靜之中，事先沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到一點(diǎn)響聲，我房間的門(mén)慢慢地打開(kāi)了。

The woman was standing in the aperture, the darkness of the hall behind her,

那個(gè)女人站在門(mén)縫里，身后是黑暗的大廳，

the yellow light from my lamp beating upon her eager and beautiful face.

我那盞燈上昏黃的燈光照在她那熱切而美麗的面龐上。

I could see at a glance that she was sick with fear, and the sight sent a chill to my own heart.

我一眼就看出她惶恐不安的神色，這個(gè)情景使我感到膽戰(zhàn)心寒。

She held up one shaking finger to warn me to be silent,

她哆哆嗦嗦地舉起一只手指警告我不要作聲，

and she shot a few whispered words of broken English at me,

飛快地對(duì)我說(shuō)了聲不太象樣的英國(guó)話(huà)。

her eyes glancing back, like those of a frightened horse, into the gloom behind her.

她的眼睛就象一匹受驚的馬駒那樣，匆匆地回顧身后的陰暗處。

'I would go,' said she, trying hard, as it seemed to me, to speak calmly;

'我要是您我就跑掉了，'她說(shuō)?？磥?lái)她是在力圖使自己講得平靜一些，

'I would go. I should not stay here. There is no good for you to do.'

'我要是您我就跑掉了，我不會(huì)留在這兒。留下來(lái)對(duì)您沒(méi)有好處。'

'But, madam,' said I, 'I have not yet done what I came for.

'但是，夫人，'我說(shuō)，'我還沒(méi)有做為此而來(lái)的工作呢。

I cannot possibly leave until I have seen the machine.'

我在看過(guò)機(jī)器之后，才能離開(kāi)這里。'

'It is not worth your while to wait,' she went on. 'You can pass through the door; no one hinders.'

'不值得一等，'她接著說(shuō)，'您可以從這扇門(mén)走出去，沒(méi)有人會(huì)阻攔您。'

And then, seeing that I smiled and shook my head,

她見(jiàn)我微笑著擺擺頭，

she suddenly threw aside her constraint and made a step forward, with her hands wrung together.

突然擺脫了局促的狀態(tài)，向前走了一步，兩手緊握在一起。

'For the love of Heaven!' she whispered, 'get away from here before it is too late!'

'看在上天的面上！'她低聲說(shuō)，'趁現(xiàn)在還來(lái)得及，快點(diǎn)逃跑！'
