呼啸山庄1 Mr Lockwood visits Wuthering Heights

1 洛克伍德先生造访呼啸山庄

1801 I have just returned from a visit to my landlord，Mr Heathcliff．I am

delighted with the house I am renting from him．Thrushcross Grange ismiles away from any town or village．That suits me perfectly．And the

scenery here in Yorkshire is so beautiful！

1801年 我刚刚拜访我的房东希斯克利夫先生回来。我喜欢从他那儿租来的那座房子。画眉山庄无论离哪个村镇都有数英里之遥，正合我的心意。约克郡这儿的风景太美了！

解析：landlord房东、店主、地主如果房东或地主是女性的话，还可以用landlady来突出性别。eg:He is the landlord of this apartment.他是这间公寓的房东。

Mr Heathcliff，in fact，is my only neighbour，and I think his character is

similar to mine．He does not like people either．

希斯克利夫先生实际上是我唯一的邻居，并且我觉得他的性情与我相仿。他也不喜欢人群。

similar 相同的，类似的eg:Ann's new cellphone is similar to mine.安的新手机和我的很像。

‘My name is Lockwood，’I said，when I met him at the gate to his

house．‘I'm renting Thrushcross Grange from you． I just wanted to comeand introduce myself．’

在通向他房子的院门前我见到了他。“我姓洛克伍德，”我说道，“我租用着您的画眉山庄。我是来同您打个招呼的。”

He said nothing，but frowned，and did not encourage me to enter．After awhile，however，he decided to invite me in．

他没说话，却皱了一下眉头，不太愿意让我进去。但呆了一会儿又决定请我进屋。

frown 皱眉；表示不喜欢 常与uponon连用eg:She frowns on gambling.她不喜欢赌博。

‘Joseph，take Mr Lock wood's horse！’he called．‘And bring up some

wine from the cellar！’Joseph was a very old servant，with a sourexpression on his face．He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse．

“约瑟夫，牵走洛克伍德先生的马！”他喊道，“到地窖里拿些酒上来！”约瑟夫是个很老的仆人，脸上表情乖戾。牵马时气鼓鼓地看了我一眼。

解析：sour 字面意思是酸的、酸臭的、发酵的，同时还有引申意思为生气的、讨厌的、不高兴的eg:The grape are sour.葡萄是酸的。

‘God help us！A visitor！’he muttered to himself．Perhaps there were no

other servants，I thought．And it seemed that Mr Heathcliff hardly ever

received guests．

“上帝保佑！来了客人！”他自言自语地嘟囔着。我想可能再没有别的仆人了。看来希斯克利夫先生几乎从不接待客人。

His house is called Wuthering Heights．The name means‘a windswept

house on a hill’，and it is a very good description．The trees around thehouse do not grow straight，but are bent by the north wind，which blows

over the moors every day of the year．Fortunately，the house is stronglybuilt，and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms．The name‘Earn－shaw’is cut into a stone over the front door.

他的房子叫呼啸山庄。意思是“狂风肆虐的山丘上的房子”，名字起得恰如其分。房子周围的树不是直着长，而是被常年累月里从荒原过来的北风吹弯的。好在房子造得结实，即使是冬天最烈的风暴也毁不了。房子正门的一块石头上刻着“欧肖”这个名字。

Mr Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room．It could have been any

Yorkshire farmhouse kitchen，except that there was no sign of

cooking，and no farmer sitting at the table. Mr Heathcliff certainly does not

look like a farmer．His hair and skin are dark，like a gipsy's，but he has

the manners of a gentleman．He could perhaps take more care with his

appearance，but he is handsome. I think he is proud，and also unhappy.

希斯克利夫先生和我进到极大的正房。它很像是约克郡一个普通农家的厨房，只是没有做饭的迹象，桌旁也没坐着农夫。希斯克利夫先生看上去显然不像个农夫，他的头发和皮肤是深色的，像吉卜赛人，但有绅士的派头。他还能对自己的外表再多上点儿心，但已经算得上英俊了。我觉得他很高傲，而且郁郁寡欢。

perhaps 作副词时，意思是可能、也许；作名词意思是假定、猜想eg:Perhaps you could contact them first.也许你可以先跟他们联系一下。

We sat down by the fire，in silence.

我们在火旁坐下，都没说话。

‘Joseph！'shouted Mr Heathcliff．No answer came from the cellar，so he

dived down there，leaving me alone with several rather fierce－looking

dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me，and in a moment allthe others were attacking me．From every shadowy corner in the great roomappeared a growling animal，ready to kill me，it seemed.

“约瑟夫！”希斯克利夫先生高声喊道。地窖里没有回答，于是他钻了下去，只剩下我单独和几条恶狗在一起。突然有一条气势汹汹地跳起来扑向我，随即其他的几条也都攻向我。这大屋子的每个阴暗角落都蹿出一条嗥叫的恶兽，似乎有要杀了我的架势。

dive 意思是潜水、使下潜、急速下降eg:He dived gracefully into the water.他动作优美地跳入水中

‘Catherine Linton，’it replied．‘I've come home．I lost my way！’There

seemed to be a child's face looking in at the window.“凯瑟琳·林顿，”它回答，“我回家了！我迷路了！”似乎有一张孩子的脸由窗外探望进来。

Terror made me cruel. I rubbed the creature's tiny wrist against the broken

glass so that blood poured down on to the bed．As soon as the cold fingerslet go for a moment，I pulled my hand quickly back，put a pile of books in

front of the broken window，and tried not to listen to the desperate cries

outside.恐惧使我心狠起来。我把那小东西的细小的手腕儿在破玻璃上拉来拉去，直到血淌到了床上。那冰冷的手指一放松，我就赶紧把手抽了回来，在窗子缺口前堆了一摞书，尽量不去听外面那苦苦哀求的声音。

解析：cruel 残忍的，残酷的eg: "Oh, Hamlet. What a thing you have done! " cried the queen in terror.“哦！哈姆雷特。你做了一件多残忍的事啊！”皇后惊恐地大叫。

Go away！’I called．‘I'll never let you in，not if you go on crying for

twenty years！’“滚开！”我嚷道，“我决不会让你进来的，再叫20年也没用！”

‘It is almost twenty years！'replied the sad little voice．‘I've been out here inthe dark for nearly twenty years！’The hand started pushing through the

window at the pile of books，and I knew it would find me and catch hold ofme again．Unable to move，I stared in horror at the shape behind the

glass，and screamed.“已经快有二十年啦！”那凄楚孱弱的声音回答道。“我流落在外面这黑暗里已经将近20年啦！”那只手开始伸过窗子的破口来推那摞书，我知道它会找到我而且又会抓住我的。我一动不能动，惊恐地盯着玻璃后面的影子，放声尖叫起来。

解析：短语 catch hold of 的字面意思是抓住、控制，同时也引申为理解、掌握eg:Do you catch hold of our teaching methods now?你现在对我们的教学方法理解了吗？

There were rapid footsteps outside my bedroom door，and then I saw the

light of a candle in the room．我的卧室门外很快就传来了急促的脚步声，然后就看到房间里有了烛光。

‘Is anyone here？’whispered Heathcliff．He could not see me behind the

curtains，and clearly did not expect an answer.I knew I could not hide fromhim，so I opened the curtains wide.“有人吗？”希斯克利夫低声问。我在帘子后面，他看不见，因而显然不指望会有人回答。我知道我躲不过他了，就把帘子拉开了一大块。

解析：hide 隐瞒、隐藏短语hide from 意思是隐瞒、躲避、不让……发现eg:You must hide medicine from children.你得把药都藏起来不让孩子们发现。

I was surprised by the effect of my action．Heathcliff dropped his candle

and stood without moving，his face as white as the wall behind him．He

did not seem to recognize me.我这个动作的后果让我吃了一惊。希斯克利夫手里的蜡烛掉了，呆呆地站在那儿，他的脸煞白得像他身后的墙。他好像没认出我来。

‘It's only your guest，Lockwood，’I said．‘I'm sorry，I must have had a

bad dream and screamed in my sleep．’我不过是您的客人，洛克伍德啊，”我说。“对不起，想必我做了个恶梦，在睡梦中尖叫出来了。”

‘To the devil with you，Mr Lockwood！’growled my landlord．‘Whoallowed you to sleep in this room？Who was it？’“见鬼去吧，洛克伍德先生！”我的房东咆哮道。“谁允许你睡在这房间的？是谁？”

‘It was your housekeeper，Mr Heathcliff，’I said，quickly putting my

clothes on．‘And I'm angry with her myself！ No one can sleep in a room

full of ghosts！’“是您的女管家，希斯克利夫先生，”我说，同时很快地穿上了衣服。“我也很生她的气！没人能睡在这挤满鬼魂的房间！”

‘What do you mean？’asked Heathcliff，looking suddenly very

interested.‘Ghosts，you say？’“你什么意思？”希斯克利夫问，突然露出很感兴趣的样子。“鬼魂，你说？”

‘That little girl，Catherine Linton，or Earnshaw，or whatever her namewas，must have been wicked！She told me she had been a ghost for nearly

twenty years．It was probably a punishment for her wickedness！’“那个小姑娘，凯瑟琳·林顿，或欧肖，或不管她叫什么，一定是个邪种！她告诉我她已经做了将近二十年的鬼了。这可能就是对她邪恶的惩罚！”

解析：wicked 邪恶的、不道德的、讨厌的，是个贬义词，也可用以指恶人eg:The old peddler woman was really the wicked queen, " said the dwarfs toSnow White.小矮人们对白雪公主说：“那叫卖的老太婆其实就是那邪恶的皇后。

‘How dare you speak of her to me？’cried Heathcliff wildly．But as Idescribed my dream，he became calmer，and sat down on the

bed，trembling as he tried to control his feelings.“你怎么竟敢对我说起她来？”希斯克利夫狂怒地高声叫道。但随着我描述着梦境，他开始平静下来，在床边坐下，颤抖着，试图控制他的情绪。

解析：短语speak of 的意思是提起、说起、论及eg:You shouldn't speak of his ex-wife in face of him.你不应该当着他的面提起他的前妻。

3 Ellen Dean's story—Catherine and Heathcliff as children

3 艾伦·迪恩讲述的故事——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫的童年

1770 When I was a child，I was always at Wuthering Heights，because my

mother was a servant with the Earnshaw family．They are a very old family

who have lived in that house for centuries，as you can see from their name

on the stone over the front door. I grew up with Catherine and Hindley

Earnshaw，and we three played together as children.

1770年 我小时候一直在呼啸山庄，因为我母亲在欧肖家做佣人。欧肖家是一个很古老的家族，在那幢宅子住了好几百年，你能从门前石头上刻着的名字看出来。我是同凯瑟琳和亨德雷·欧肖一起长大的，小时候我们仨都在一起玩儿。

One day，their father Mr Earnshaw came back from a long journey. He had

travelled sixty miles to Liverpool and back on business，and was very tired.

一天，他们的父亲欧肖先生出远门回来。他步行了六十英里去利物浦办事后又赶回来，非常疲倦。

Look what I've brought you！’he told us all，unwrapping something he was

holding carefully in his arms．Catherine and Hindley were expecting

presents，and they rushed eagerly to see what it was. They were very

disappointed to see only a dirty，black-haired gipsy child.

“看我给你们带来了什么！”他对我们大家说，一边打开了怀里小心抱着的东西。凯瑟琳和亨德雷正指望着是礼物呢，兴冲冲地围上来看到底是什么东西。当他们只看到一个脏兮兮、黑头发的吉卜赛孩子时，大失所望。

解析：unwrap 的意思是打开、展开unwrap是由否定前缀un-，和词根wrap组合而成，表示wrap(包起来、缠绕)的反义。eg:We unwraped the box carefully.我们小心翼翼的打开这个盒子。

eagerly 急切地、渴望地、热心地eg:The children eagerly learn something new from the teacher every day.孩子们每天都渴望从老师那里学到些新知识。

‘I found him all alone in the busy streets of Liverpool，’Mr Earnshaw

explained to them，‘and I couldn't leave him to die． He can sleep in yourroom．’But Hindley and Catherine were angry because they had not

received any presents，and refused to let the strange child share their

room．However Mr Earn－shaw insisted，and little by little the boy becameaccepted by the family．He was called Heathcliff，as a first and last name．No one ever discovered who his parents had been.

“我看到他孤零零地呆在利物浦繁忙的街头，”欧肖先生对他们解释说，“我总不能让他就那么死了吧。他可以睡在你们的房里。”但亨德雷

和凯瑟琳气恼没有得到礼物，不肯让这个野孩子睡在他们的房间。在欧肖先生的坚持下，一家人还是渐渐地接受了这个孩子。给他起了个名字叫希斯克利夫，既是名，也是姓。始终没人搞清楚他的父母是谁。

解析：little by little 渐渐地、逐渐地eg:We are growing up little by little.我们正在渐渐长大。

Catnerine and he became great friends，but Hindley hated him，and wasoften cruel to him．Old Mr Earnshaw was strangely fond of this gipsychild，and frequently punished his son for behaving badly to Heathcliff．Hindley began to be jealous of his father's feelings for Heathcliff，and sawthem both as enemies．

凯瑟琳和他成了好朋友，但亨德雷不喜欢他，对他常常很粗暴。老欧肖先生异乎寻常地喜欢这个吉卜赛孩子，时常因为自己的儿子对希斯克利夫不友善而惩罚他。亨德雷开始嫉妒他父亲对希斯克利夫的感情，视他俩为敌。

This situation could not last．As Mr Earnshaw grew old and ill，Heathcliffbecame even more his favourite，and Hindley often quarrelled with hisfather．When Hindley was sent away to study，I hoped that we would havepeace in the house．But then it was that old servant Joseph who causedtrouble．He tried to persuade his master to be stricter with the children，andwas always complaining that Heathcliff and Catherine did not spend enoughtime studying the Bible or attending church services．

这种情况不可能持续下去。随着欧肖先生变得年迈多病，他越发地偏爱希斯克利夫了，而亨德雷则常同他父亲吵架。当亨德雷被送到外头上学后，我本指望我们能在家里过上安稳日子。但又轮到老仆人约瑟夫招惹是非。他试图怂恿他的主人对孩子们再严厉些，总是抱怨希斯克利夫和凯瑟琳不下功夫研读《圣经》和参加教堂的礼拜。

解析：cause 可以做名词也可以做动词，作名词表示原因，事业的意思。作动词表示引起、使……遭受，文章中诗作动词。

eg:The resignation of the prime minister will cause much confusion.首相的辞职将引起很大的混乱。

Catherine was a wild，wicked girl in those days．We had to watch her everymoment of the day，to stop her playing her tricks on us．She was proud，and liked giving orders．But she had the prettiest face and the sweetest smileyou've ever seen．I could forgive her anything when she came to say she wassorry.

凯瑟琳当时是个任性、淘气的姑娘。我们一天到晚都得盯着她，一不留意就做我们的恶作剧。她自大，好发号施令。但您从没看到过她那可爱的小脸和甜甜的微笑。只要她过来说抱歉时，我就什么都原谅她了。4 Catherine Earnshaw gets to know the Lintons

4 凯瑟琳·欧肖认识了林顿一家

解析：get to know 了解、认识，是动词短语eg：I got to know her in an accident.我在一次意外事故中认识了她。

1775 Hindley came home for his father's burial．What was more surprisingwas that he brought a wife with him．She was called Frances，a thin，palewoman with a frequent cough．Now that Hindley was the master of thehouse，he ordered Joseph and me to spend our evenings in the small back-kitchen，as we were only servants，while he，his wife and Catherine sat inthe main room．Catherine and Heathcliff were treated very differently．Catherine received presents，and could continue her lessons，but Heathcliffwas made to work on the farm with the men，and，as a farm worker，wasonly allowed to eat with us in the back kitchen．They grew up like two wildanimals．Hindley did not care what they did，as long as they kept out of hisway，and they did not care even if he punished them．They often ran awayon to the moors in the morning and stayed out all day，just to make Hindleyangry．I was the only one who cared what happened to the two poorcreatures，and I was afraid for them．

1775年 亨德雷回家参加他父亲的葬礼。更令人惊奇的是他带回来个妻子。她叫弗朗西丝，是个瘦瘦的白白的女人，咳嗽个不停。这会儿亨德雷成了这宅子的主人，他责令约瑟夫和我晚上呆在后面的小厨房里，因为我们是下人，而他、他妻子和凯瑟琳则坐在正屋里。凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫的境遇大不相同。凯瑟琳收到了礼物，可以继续学习，但希斯克利夫被遣去与男人们一起在农庄干活，一个干农活的，只能被允许和我们在后面厨房里一起吃饭。他们俩像两个小野人似地长大了，亨德雷对他们的所作所为不闻不问，只要他们别碍着他的事；而他们就算被亨德雷惩罚也不吃他那一套。他们常常一大早就跑到荒原上，一整天都呆在外面，就是为了气气亨德雷。只有我才关心这两个可怜的小东西，替他们担惊受怕。

解析：burial 可以作名词表示葬礼、埋葬，也可作形容词表示埋葬的eg:Claus met his ex-wife in his friend's burial.克劳斯在其朋友的葬礼上遇到了他的前妻。

One Sunday evening they were missing at bedtime，and Hindley ordered meangrily to lock the front door．But I did not want them to stay out in the coldall night，so I kept my window open to look out for them．In a while I sawHeathcliff walking through the gate．I was shocked to see him alone．

一个星斯天的晚上，该睡觉的时候还没见他们人影，亨德雷怒冲冲地命令我锁上前门。但我不想他们大冷天整夜呆在外头，所以我就没关我的窗户，留意着他们。过了一会儿，我看到希斯克利夫走进了大门。见到只有他一个人，我大吃一惊。

‘Where's Catherine？’I cried sharply．

“凯瑟琳哪儿去了？”我尖声叫道。

‘At Thrushcross Grange，with our neighbours the Lintons，’hereplied．‘Let me in，Ellen，and I'll explain what happened．’I went downto unlock the door，and we came upstairs very quietly．

“在画眉山庄，在我们的邻居林顿家，”他回答。“让我进去，艾伦，我会跟你解释是怎么回事。”我下去开了门，我们一声不响地走上楼。

‘Don't wake the master up！’I whispered．‘Now tell me！’

“别吵醒了主人！”我小声说。“现在说吧！”

‘Well，Catherine and I thought we’d just walk to the Lintons’house．Wewanted to see if Isabella and Edgar Linton are punished all the time by theirparents，as we are．’

“呃，凯瑟琳和我本打算走到林顿家，我们想看看伊莎贝拉和艾加·林顿是不是也像我们这样天天受他们父母的罚。”

‘Probably not，’I answered．‘I expect they are good children and don't needto be punished．’

“八成不会，”我答道。“我想他们都是好孩子，没必要惩罚。”

‘Nonsense，Ellen！Guess what we saw when we looked in at their sittingroom window？A very pretty room，with soft carpets and white walls．Catherine and I would love to have a room like that！But in the middle ofthis beautiful room，Isabella and Edgar Linton were screaming and fightingover a little dog！How stupid they are，Ellen！If Catherine wantedsomething，I would give it to her，and she would do the same for me．Iwould rather be here at Wuthering Heights with her，even if I'm punished byJoseph and that wicked Hindley，that at Thrushcross Grange with those twofools！’

“不是那么回事儿，艾伦！猜猜我们从他们起居室的窗子望进去时看到了什么？那是一个很漂亮的房间，铺着软软的地毯，四壁洁白。凯瑟琳和我要是有那么一间该多好！但就在这漂亮房间的中间，伊莎贝拉和艾加·林顿正围着一条小狗又吵又闹！他们多傻啊，艾伦！如果凯瑟琳想

要什么东西，我就会给她，她对我也一样。就算约瑟夫和那个坏亨德雷惩罚我，我也宁愿跟凯瑟琳在呼啸山庄，而不愿在画眉山庄与那两个傻瓜在一起！”

解析：nonsense 胡说、乱说；荒谬的sense 有合理，明智的意思，再在sense的前面加上non-，就表示不合理、胡说、荒谬的意思。eg: “Nonsense！”said the teacher angrily.“胡说！”老师生气地说。would rather 宁愿，宁可,也可在其后加上than，构成would rather……than表示宁愿……也不……、与其……不如……eg:I would rather go to a movie than stay here.我宁愿去看电影也不想在这待着。

‘Not so loud，Heathcliff！But you still haven't told me why Catherine isn'twith you？’

“小声点儿，希斯克利夫！但你还没告诉我凯瑟琳为什么没和你在一起？”

‘Well，as we were looking in，we started laughing at them so loudly thatthey heard us，and sent the dogs after us．We were about to run away，when a great fierce dog caught Catherine's leg in its teeth．I attacked it，andmade it let go of her leg，but the Lintons' servants appeared and caught holdof me. They must have thought we were robbers．Catherine was carriedunconscious into the house，and they pulled me inside too．All the time Iwas shouting and swearing at them．

“呃，我们往里看的时候开始笑出声来，声音太大被听见了，他们就放狗追我们。就在我们要跑开的当儿，一条凶猛的大狗咬住了凯瑟琳的腿。我打了狗，让它放开她的腿，但林顿家的仆人出来抓住了我。他们肯定是把我们当贼了。凯瑟琳人事不醒，被抬进了房里，他们把我也拽了进去。我一直在不停地大叫大骂他们。

解析：about to do 刚要、即将、正准备做某事

eg:When we were about to leave the office, our teacher came in.就在我们正准备离开办公室的时候，老师进来了。

‘“What a wicked pair of thieves！”said old Mr Linton．“The boy must be agipsy，he's as dark as the devil！”Mrs Linton raised her hands in horror atthe sight of me．Catherine opened her eyes，and Edgar looked closely ather．

‘“这两个小恶贼！”老林顿夫人说。“这小子一定是个吉卜赛人，看他黑得像鬼一样！”林顿夫人一看到我，双手惊恐地举了起来。凯瑟琳睁开眼，艾加紧盯着她。

‘“Mother，”he whispered，“the young lady is Miss Earn-shaw，ofWuthering Heights. I've seen her in church occasionally．And look what ourdog has done to her leg！It's bleeding badly！”

‘“妈妈，”他低声说，“这小姑娘是呼啸山庄的欧肖小姐。我在教堂碰见过她一两次。看我们的狗把她腿咬的！出了这么多血！”

One afternoon，when Hindley had gone into town，Heath－ cliff came intothe main room after lunch. I was helping Catherine to arrange her hair，asshe had invited Edgar Linton to visit her while Hindley was absent．

一天下午，亨德雷进城去了，希斯克利夫吃完午饭后进了正屋。我正在帮凯瑟琳梳理头发，因为她请了艾加·林顿在亨德雷不在家的时候来看她。

解析：absent 不在的，缺席的eg: Many people absented in this morning.今天早上很多人都缺席了。

‘Catherine，are you going anywhere this afternoon？’askedHeathcliff．‘Why have you got that silk dress on？Nobody's visiting you，Ihope．’

“凯瑟琳，你下午要去哪儿吗？”希斯克利夫问道。“为什么穿上了丝绸礼服？我希望不是有人要来看你吧。”

‘No-o，I don't think so，'replied Catherine，looking quickly at me．‘Butyou should be at work by now，Heathcliff．’

“没，没有，我没这么想，”凯瑟琳回答，说着瞥了我一眼。“但你现在应该上工了，希斯克利夫。”

‘That devil Hindley isn't away very often．I'm taking a holiday．I won'twork any more today． I'm staying with you this afternoon．He'll neverknow．’

“亨德雷那恶棍不常出去。我今天休假。我今天不干活儿了，我今天下午和你在一起。他不会知道的。”

Catherine thought for a moment. Somehow she had to prepare him forEdgar's visit ‘Isabella and Edgar said they might call here this afternoon．Ifthey come，you'll be scolded for not working．’

凯瑟琳寻思了一会儿。她反正要让他对艾加的造访有个准备。“伊莎贝拉和艾加说今天下午要来这儿。如果他们来了，你不干活儿会受责骂的。”

解析：scold 可作动词表示责骂、怒斥be scolded for 表示因为……而受到责骂eg: Jim was scolded for breaking the cup.吉姆因为打碎杯子而受到责骂。

‘Tell Ellen to say you're busy and can't see them，’he said．‘Those friendsof yours take up all your time．You spend most of your evenings withthem，not with me．’

“告诉艾伦说你没空儿，不能见他们，”他说。“你的这帮朋友占用了你全部时间，你多数晚上都和他们在一起，没和我。”

解析：take up 字面意思是捡起、拿走，也有占用、占据的意思本文选用的是占用、占据的含义I'm sorry I've already taken up so much of your valuable time.很抱歉占用了你这么多宝贵时间。

‘Well，why should I always spend my time with you？'she askedcrossly．‘What can you talk about？How can you amuse me？’

“那，为什么我要总和你在一起呢？”她愠怒地问道。“我们能谈些什么？你能怎样逗我开心？”

解析：crossly 故意刁难地、发怒地eg: “Nonsensez!”said she crossly.“胡说！”她生气地说。

‘You never told me before that you didn't like my company，Catherine！’cried Heathcliff．

“你以前从没告诉我你不喜欢和我在一起，凯瑟琳！”希斯克利夫大声道。

Just then we heard a horse outside， and there was a light knock on thedoor．Edgar Linton entered，his handsome face full of delight at receivingCatherine's unexpected invitation． I wondered if Catherine was comparingher two friends， as Edgar came in and Heathcliff ran out．

就在此时我们听到外面传来马声，然后是轻轻的敲门声。艾加·林顿走进来，出乎意料地受到凯瑟琳的邀请，他那英俊的脸上满面春风。我搞不清凯瑟琳是不是在对她的两个朋友做比较，艾加进来时，希斯克利夫跑了出去。

‘I haven't come too soon，have I？’asked Edgar politely．

“我没来得太早吧，是么？”艾加彬彬有礼地问。

‘No，’answered Catherine．‘Leave us alone，Ellen．’

“没有，”凯瑟琳回答。“别管我们了，艾伦。”

解析：leave alone 不打扰、不干涉、不管、不理会eg: The committe left alone his proposal.委员会不理会他的建议。

6 Heathcliff disappears

6 希斯克利夫失踪了

解析：disappear是由否定前缀dis- 与appear组成的，表示appear的反义，表示消失，不存在的意思。eg: Our manager disappeared before the press conference.我们经理在记者招待会召开前失踪了。

1778—9 Hindley came into the kitchen，swearing terribly，just as I wasabout to hide little Hareton，in a cupboard．I was always afraid that Hindleywould hurt his small son，either by accident or on purpose，when he wasdrunk，so I tried to keep Hareton out of the way．But this time Hindleydiscovered my plan．

1778—1779年我正想把小哈里顿藏进饭橱里，亨德雷就骂骂咧咧地进到厨房。我一直怕亨德雷会在喝醉了酒后有意无意地伤害他的小儿子，所以我想法儿让哈里顿别碍事。但这次亨德雷看出了我的心思。

解析：短语out of the way的字面意思是不挡道，把……移开，同时还有

偏僻的，罕见的意思。在文本中取用的是这个短语的字面意思，不挡道，不碍事。eg:Thesoldier nodded slightly, and moved out of the way to let them through.这名士兵点点头，让开自己的位置让他们通过。

‘Ah，you keep my son in a cupboard，do you！’he cried angrily，pickingup a sharp kitchen knife．‘With the devil's help I'll make you swallow this，Ellen！’And he pushed the knife between my teeth．

“啊，你把我儿子放在饭橱里，是吗！”他火气冲冲地嚷道，拿起一把锋利的菜刀。“看在魔鬼的份儿上，我要让你把它吞下去，艾伦！”说着把刀塞进我的牙缝。

I was never afraid he would hurt me，and calmly took the knife out of mymouth．

我从没怕过他会伤害我，很镇静地把刀从我口里拿出来。

‘But that can't be my son，can it？’he continued aggressively，staring at thefrightened little boy．‘If it is，he should be punished for not running to greethis father．Perhaps I'll cut his ears off！’And then suddenly his mannerchanged．‘No，Hareton，darling，don't cry！Kiss me，kiss your father！What？You won't？Then I'll break your neck！’

“但这不可能是我儿子，对吗？”他又挑衅似地接着说道，瞪着被吓坏了的小男孩。“如果这是，他应该受到惩罚，因为他没跑出来问他父亲好。或许我会割掉他的耳朵！”然后他的态度突然变了，“不，哈里顿，亲爱的，别哭！亲亲我，亲亲你父亲！怎么？你不？那我就拧断你的脖子！”

解析：aggressively 咄咄逼人地，挑衅地eg:China, which raises more poultry than any other country worldwide, hasvowed to aggressively fight the virus.中国作为世界上饲养家禽最多的国家下决心要同病毒斗争到底。

stare at 盯着，凝视，还可以用fix one's eyes on表达相同意思。eg:As he came to, he saw many men staring at him.他醒来之后，看到很多人都在盯着他看。

Poor Hareton，screaming wildly，was carried upstairs by his father．Suddenly Hindley stopped on the stairs to listen，almost forgetting what hewas holding．Heathcliff had come into the house and stood at the bottom ofthe stairs，looking up．Just then the child jumped out of Hindley's arms andfell．I only had time to gasp ink horror，before I saw that Heathcliff hadcaught him．

可怜的哈里顿狂呼乱叫着被他父亲抱向楼上。亨德雷突然在楼梯上停下听着什么，几乎忘了他抱的是什么。希斯克利夫来到屋里，站在楼梯下面往上看。就在这时那孩子跳出亨德雷的手臂，掉落下来。就在我吓得倒吸冷气的时候，只见希斯克利夫一把接住了他。

Heathcliff stared down at the child he was holding．He must have felt sorryhe had saved the life of his enemy's son．I rushed to take the poor little boyin my arms，and Hindley came slowly downstairs．

7 Heathcliff returns

7 希斯克利夫回来了

1783 Well, sir, when Miss Catherine became Mrs Linton，and we went tolive at Thrushcross Grange, I must say I was surprised and pleased by herbehaviour. She showed great fondness for her husband, and for his sister,Isabella. He, of course, was very anxious that no one should disobey her, ormake her angry. If she was depressed for a time, he blamed it on the illnessshe had had, and was sympathetic. But for most of the time, I believe theyshared a deep and growing love for each other.

1783年 好的，先生。凯瑟琳小姐成了林顿夫人，我们就去住到画眉山庄，我得说她的表现让我又惊又喜。她看上去对丈夫非常疼爱，对他妹妹伊莎贝拉也不错。自然，他很上心不叫人逆她的愿或给她气生。在她心情郁闷时，他就归咎于她得的那场病，大加同情。但在大部分时间里，我相信他们相互之间的深情不断增长着。

It was a deep, rather unusual voice. I turned, to see a tall, dark man in theshadow near the kitchen door.

这声音低沉，不大熟悉。我转过身，看到在厨房门旁的阴暗处有一个又高又黑的人。

'Don't you know me?' he asked,'Look，I'm not a stranger!'

“你不认识我了？”他问道，“瞧，我不是个生人！”

'What!' I cried in surprise, for it had been four years since he disappeared.'Heathcliff！Is it really you?'

“什么！”我惊叫道，因为他已经失踪四年了，“希斯克利夫！真是你吗？”

'Yes,' he replied, looking up at the windows of the house. 'Are they at home?Where is she? Tell me, Ellen! I must speak to her!'

“是的，”他回答，抬头看着房子的窗户。“他们在家吗？她在哪儿？告诉我，艾伦！我得和她说话！”

“因为他抢走了我的一切！”他嚎道。“什么也没剩下让哈里顿去继承！但我会把它全夺回来的！还有他的钱，还有他的血。然后魔鬼就能收去他的灵魂！”

我看他好像疯了，艾伦。我离开了他，去找那个老仆约瑟夫。希斯克利夫的房间似乎是锁着的，也没有给客人住的卧室，所以最后我在孩子的房里睡下了。到了我的新家，他们就这么欢迎我！

1784年 希斯克利夫给了我一封致凯瑟琳的信，但我决定在艾加先生不在家时再给她看。我从呼啸山庄回来后过了四天时找到了一个机会。那是个礼拜天，艾加先生和所有家仆都到教堂去了，留我一个人照看凯瑟琳。

She was sitting downstairs, by an open window, enjoying the spring

sunshine. Her appearance had changed since her illness, but there was a

strange beauty in her pale face. She did not read or sew any more, but used to

sit there silently, staring into the distance. Her eyes seemed fixed on

something far away, something beyond normal sight.

她在楼下一个开着的窗户旁坐着，享受着春天的阳光。她得病之后容貌变了，但她惨白的面庞有一种莫名的美。她不再读书，也不再做针线活儿，但常静静地坐在那儿，呆呆地望着远方。她的目光好像盯着远处的什么东西，正常视线以外的东西。

Forfive whole minutes he held her in his arms and kissed her again and again, itgave him great pain to look at her face. He could see, as I could, that shewould never recover, that she was certain to die.

她什么也没说，但从椅子里欠起身在听着。我们俩都听到有人从厅里走过来。希斯克利夫意识到房子里没有什么人了，就找了扇敞开的门。凯瑟琳急切地望着房门。他出现了，两步就走到她的身边。他把她抱在怀里，一遍遍地吻她，足足有五分钟。他看着她的脸，十分痛苦。他和我都能看出来，凯瑟琳永远不会复原了，她肯定是要死了。

And anyway I don't want to beg for Edgar's help, or maketrouble for him. To escape from Heathcliff I must go a long way away. Howcould Catherine have liked him, Ellen? I wish he would die, and then I couldforget him completely!'

“哦，艾伦，”她说，“听到凯瑟琳的死讯，我大哭了一场，你知道。希斯克利夫也是悲痛欲绝！但对他我可怜不起来。这是我身上最后一件他的东西，”说着摘下她的结婚金戒指扔进火里。“我再也不回到他那儿去了。可我不能留在这儿，以防他来找我。况且反正我不想求艾加帮忙，说不定还会给他添麻烦。要躲开希斯克利夫，我得走得远远的。凯瑟琳怎么会喜欢他，艾伦？我盼着他死，这样才能把他忘得一干二净！”

“我希望你对他好一点，希斯克利夫先生，”我说。“他体弱多病，况且他也是你唯一的家人！”

'Don't worry, Ellen.' replied Heathcliff with a smile. 'As Isabella's son he'llinherit Thrushcross Grange one day, and I don't want him to die before thatHe'll be educated as a gentleman. But I'm bitterly disappointed at having sucha weak, crying baby for a son!'

“别担心，艾伦，”希斯克利夫笑着答道，“他是伊莎贝拉的儿子，总有一天会把画眉山庄继承下来，在此之前我可不希望他死。他会被调教成个绅士。但要这么个弱不禁风、哭哭啼啼的孩子作儿子，让我大失所望！”

“他常生病，”她告诉我。“还特别自私！夏天他都得要点上炉火！他一刻不停地要点心和热茶。他只想着自己。希斯克利夫先生跟他在一个房间里根本呆不下去！”

Several years passed without any more news of Linton. In 1800 Cathyreached the age of sixteen. We never celebrated her birthday, because it wasalso the day her mother died. On this particular day she came downstairs,dressed for going out, and suggested a walk on the moors with me. Her fathergave permission.

又是几年过去了，没再听到林顿的消息。1880年凯茜满16岁了。我们从未庆祝过她的生日，因为她母亲也是那一天去世的。就在这个不寻常的日子她一身出门的装束走下楼来，提议和我到荒原上去走走。她父亲同意了。
