《简·爱》 Chapter 29 第二十九章（13）（在线收听）

The parlour was rather a small room, very plainly furnished, yet comfortable, because clean and neat.

客厅不大，陈设也很朴实，但于净整洁十分舒服。

The old-fashioned chairs were very bright, and the walnut-wood table was like a looking-glass.

老式椅子油光锃亮，那张胡桃木桌子象面穿衣镜。

A few strange, antique portraits of the men and women of other days decorated the stained walls;

斑驳的墙上装饰着几张过去时代奇怪而古老的男女画像。

a cupboard with glass doors contained some books and an ancient set of china.

在一个装有玻璃门的橱里，放着几本书和一套古瓷器。

There was no superfluous ornament in the room

房间里没有多余的装饰品，

not one modern piece of furniture, save a brace of workboxes and a lady's desk in rosewood, which stood on a side-table:

除了放在书桌上的一对针线盒和青龙木女用书台，没有一件现代家具。

everything -- including the carpet and curtains -- looked at once well worn and well saved.

包括地毯和窗帘在内的一切，看上去既陈旧而又保养得很好。

Mr. St. John -- sitting as still as one of the dusty pictures on the walls,

圣·约翰先生--一动不动地坐着，犹如墙上色彩暗淡的画，

keeping his eyes fixed on the page he perused, and his lips mutely sealed -- was easy enough to examine.

眼睛盯着他细读着的那页书，嘴唇默默地闭着，很容易让我细看个究竟。

Had he been a statue instead of a man, he could not have been easier.

他要是装成塑像，而不是人，那是再容易不过了。

He was young -- perhaps from twenty-eight to thirty -- tall, slender; his face riveted the eye;

他很年轻--二十八至三十光景--高挑个子，身材颀长。他的脸引人注目，

it was like a Greek face, very pure in outline: quite a straight, classic nose; quite an Athenian mouth and chin.

像一张希腊人的脸，轮廓完美、长着一个笔直的古典式鼻子，一张十足雅典人的嘴和下巴。

It is seldom, indeed, an English face comes so near the antique models as did his.

说实在，英国人的脸很少像他那样如此酷似古典脸型的。

He might well be a little shocked at the irregularity of my lineaments, his own being so harmonious.

他自己的五官那么匀称，也许对我的不匀称便有点儿吃惊了。

His eyes were large and blue, with brown lashes;

他的眼睛又大又蓝，长着棕色的睫毛，

his high forehead, colourless as ivory, was partially streaked over by careless locks of fair hair.

高高的额头跟象牙一般苍白，额头上不经意披下了几绺金色的头发。
