I have said that though the floor and ceiling were of iron, the walls were of wood.

我曾經(jīng)說過，雖然房頂和地板是鐵的，墻壁卻是木頭的。

As I gave a last hurried glance around, I saw a thin line of yellow light between two of the boards,

在我向四周投以最后的一眼時，我看到兩塊墻板之間透過來一線微弱的黃色亮光，

which broadened and broadened as a small panel was pushed backward.

隨著一小塊嵌板被往后推去，亮光也變得越來越亮。

For an instant I could hardly believe that here was indeed a door which led away from death.

一剎那間我簡直不敢相信這兒確實是一扇死里逃生之門。

The next instant I threw myself through, and lay half-fainting upon the other side.

我立刻就從那里沖了出去，失魂落魄地躺在墻的另一邊。

The panel had closed again behind me, but the crash of the lamp,

嵌板在我身后又闔上了，但是那盞燈的碎裂聲

and a few moments afterwards the clang of the two slabs of metal, told me how narrow had been my escape.

以及其刻后兩塊鐵板的撞擊聲表明我是怎樣千鈞一發(fā)地脫了險。

I was recalled to myself by a frantic plucking at my wrist,

"我是被人發(fā)狂似地拉扯著我的手腕才蘇醒過來的，

and I found myself lying upon the stone floor of a narrow corridor,

我發(fā)現(xiàn)我躺在一條狹窄走廊的石頭地面上，

while a woman bent over me and tugged at me with her left hand, while she held a candle in her right.

一個女人右手拿著一根蠟燭俯身用她的左手使勁地拉著我。

It was the same good friend whose warning I had so foolishly rejected.

她就是那位好心的朋友，當初我是多么愚蠢地拒不接受她的警告。
