《简·爱》 Chapter 35 第三十五章（11）（在线收听）

"And yet St. John is a good man," said Diana.

“而圣·约翰是个好人，”黛安娜说。

"He is a good and a great man; but he forgets, pitilessly, the feelings and claims of little people, in pursuing his own large views.

“他是一个好人，也是个伟人。可惜他在追求大目标时，忘掉了小人物的情感和要求。

It is better, therefore, for the insignificant to keep out of his way, lest, in his progress, he should trample them down.

因此，微不足道的人还是离他远一点好，免得他在前进时把他们踩倒了。

Here he comes! I will leave you, Diana."

他来了，我得走了，黛安娜。”

And I hastened upstairs as I saw him entering the garden.

No doubt he had invoked the help of the Holy Spirit to subdue the anger I had roused in him, and now believed he had forgiven me once more.

无疑他求助于圣灵来克制我在他心里所激起的愤怒，现在他相信已再次宽恕了我。

For the evening reading before prayers, he selected the twenty-first chapter of Revelation.

祷告前的晚读，他选了《启示录》的第二十一章。

It was at all times pleasant to listen while from his lips fell the words of the Bible:

倾听《圣经》中的话从他嘴里吐出来始终是一种享受。

never did his fine voice sound at once so sweet and full --

他优美的嗓子是最洪亮又最动听的，

never did his manner become so impressive in its noble simplicity, as when he delivered the oracles of God:
