笔译高级辅导：《呼啸山庄》翻译（4）

会计考友

　　yesterday afternoon set in misty and cold. i had half a mind to spend it by my study fire, instead of wading through heath and mud to wuthering heights. on coming up from dinner, however, (n.b. - i dine between twelve and one o'clock; the housekeeper, a matronly lady, taken as a fixture along with the house, could not, or would not, comprehend my request that i might be served at five) - on mounting the stairs with this lazy intention, and stepping into the room, i saw a servant-girl on her knees surrounded by brushes and coal-scuttles, and raising an infernal dust as she extinguished the flames with heaps of cinders. this spectacle drove me back immediately; i took my hat, and, after a four-miles' walk, arrived at heathcliff's garden-gate just in time to escape the first feathery flakes of a snow-shower.
6 P/ C1 j2 m9 O' K9 z. v　　昨天下午又湿又冷。我有点想就在火炉旁看看书什么的，而不是踩着泥泞，穿过石楠树丛去呼啸山庄。当吃过晚饭上来，（注意：我的吃饭时间是在一点钟和两点钟之间；房东是个管家太太，把这个时间视作这个房子所固有的习惯，她不能，也不愿意去理解我可以在五点钟吃饭的要求），我无所事事的爬上楼梯，走进房间，恰巧看见一个女佣正跪在地上，周围堆着刷子和煤斗，当她用大量的煤渣来灭火的时候，灰尘如恶魔般的灰尘。一见这情形，我赶紧退了出来。我拿了我的帽子，走了四英里的路，刚刚到希斯克利夫先生家的花园门口，天上也飘起了雪花。

" ^8 u6 G1 r/ i　　在这个荒凉的山头，土上都结了黑漆漆的霜，变得特别硬。风一吹，我的手脚都在哆嗦。由于打不开链子，我跳了过去，跑向插着旗、两侧都是稀落的醋栗树丛的堤道，敲到我的关节都疼了，狗不停的嚎叫，也没有人开门。

　　“你要干什么？”他喊道，“主人不在羊栏那边，绕过谷仓去找他，如果你有事找他的话。

　　“为什么？你就不能告诉她我是谁吗？啊，约瑟夫？”
$ A: S* C7 `6 O7 U1 B　　'nor-ne me! i'll hae no hend wi't,' muttered the head, vanishing.
