狄更斯雙語小說:《董貝父子》第18章Part 23
If anything had frightened her, it was the face he turned upon her. The glowing love within the breast of his young daughter froze before it,and she stood and looked at him as if stricken into stone.
There was not one touch of tenderness or pity in it. There was not one gleam of interest, parental recognition, or relenting in it. There was a change in it, but not of that kind. The old indifference and cold constraint had given place to something: what, she never thought and did not dare to think, and yet she felt it in its force, and knew it well without a name: that as it looked upon her, seemed to cast a shadow onher head.
在這張臉中沒有一點親切或憐憫，沒有一絲關心、父愛或寬厚。它有變化，但卻不是那種性質。先前的漠不關心和冷淡拘板已讓位於別的什麼東西；究竟是什麼，她從沒有去想過，也不敢去想，然而她卻強烈地感覺到它，清楚地知道它，只是說不出它的名稱；當這張臉朝着她時，它似乎在她頭上投下了一個陰影。Did he see before him the successful rival of his son, in health and life? Did he look upon his own successful rival in that son's affection?Did a mad jealousy and withered pride, poison sweet remembrances that should have endeared and made her precious to him? Could it be possible that it was gall to him to look upon her in her beauty and her promise: thinking of his infant boy!
他是不是在面前看見了在健康與生命的競爭中壓倒了他兒子的勝利者？他是不是在望着在爭取他兒子的感情的競爭中壓倒了他本人的勝利音？是不是一種瘋狂的爐嫉和被刺傷的驕傲在毒害那本應使他親近她、寵愛她的甜蜜的回憶？是不是可能，當他看到她姿容美麗、風華正茂因而同時聯想到他的幼小的男孩時感到心如刀割？
Did he see before him the successful rival of his son, in health and life? Did he look upon his own successful rival in that son's affection? Did a mad jealousy and withered pride, poison sweet remembrances that should have endeared and made her precious to him? Could it be possible that it was gall to him to look upon her in her beauty and her promise: thinking of his infant boy!
弗洛倫斯沒有這些想法。可是當愛遭到拒絕，毫無希望時，它是敏感的。當她站在那裏望着她父親的臉孔時，希望從她心中逝滅了。'I ask you, Florence, are you frightened? Is there anything the matter, that you come here?'
“我問你，弗洛倫斯，你是不是受了驚嚇？你到這裏來，是不是出了什麼事？”'I came, Papa — '
“我到這裏來，爸爸——”'Against my wishes. Why?'
“這是違揹我的願望的。爲什麼？”She saw he knew why: it was written broadly on his face: and dropped her head upon her hands with one prolonged low cry.
她看出，他明白爲什麼——它清清楚楚地寫在他的臉上——，她把頭垂落到手上，發出了低微的、拖長了的哭聲。Let him remember it in that room, years to come. It has faded from the air, before he breaks the silence. It may pass as quickly from his brain, as he believes, but it is there. Let him remember it in that room, years to come!
讓他在未來的歲月中，在那個房間中，記得這哭聲吧。在他打破沉默之前，它已經在空中消失。他相信，它很快就會從他的腦子中逝滅的，但是不，它留在那裏。讓他在未來的歲月中，在那個房間中，記得這哭聲吧！一rest：n.興趣, 嗜好, 利息, 股份 v.使…感興趣

你應該打破這個習慣。
brake同break的區別：brake可指“剎車，制動器”，“蕨類”，“灌木叢”或“揉麪機”等。表示檢查器械時，現在一般都用brake，多用於摩托車或四輪馬車上。而break則多用於指“斷裂”；
