Chapter 14
第十四章
Later the same evening Dorian Gray was at a party．He smiled and talked，and looked as young and as good-looking as ever． But his head ached and at dinner he could not eat anything．When Lord Henry asked him if he felt unwell，Dorian said that he was tired and would go home early．
过后，还是在同一天晚上，多里安·格雷参加了一个聚会。他谈笑着，像以前一样年轻英俊。可是他头疼，晚餐时吃不下任何东西。亨利勋爵问他是否不舒服时，多里安说他累了，要早点回家。
At home he felt worse． Although the room was warm， his hands shook with cold． He wanted to forget for a while-to escape from the prison of his real life， and to lose himself in dreams．
回家后他觉得更糟。虽然房间里挺暖和，但是他的双手冷得发抖。他想暂时忘记--从他真实生活的牢狱中逃脱出来，在梦想中放松自己。
At midnight， in old dirty clothes， he left the house again and went to the East End of London．There he knew places where he could get opium-dark，evil places where people bought and sold the beautiful， terrible dreams of opium．He had been there many times before．
午夜，穿上脏旧的衣服他再次离开家前往伦敦东区。在那儿他知道从什么地方能搞到鸦片--在那些黑暗、邪恶的地方，人们买卖着鸦片，这种东西让人产生美丽而又可怕的幻觉。他去过那儿很多次。
He found the house that he was looking for and went into a long，low room．Men were lying on the dirty floor，a sailor was asleep on a table and two women were drinking at the bar． As Dorian hurried up the narrow stairs，the sweet， heavy smell of opium came to meet him and he smiled in pleasure．But in the room he saw a young man who had once been his friend． He turned away， and went downstairs again to drink at the bar．
他找到了要找的房子，进入了一间又长又矮的屋子。男人们躺在肮脏的地上，一个水手趴在桌子上睡觉，两个女人在酒吧喝酒。多里安在狭窄的楼梯上快步向上爬时，他闻到了鸦片甜美、浓厚的气味。他快活地笑了。但是在房间里他看见了一个曾是他朋友的年轻人。他转回身，又回到楼下，在酒吧喝酒。
One of the women spoke to him．
有一个女人跟他讲话。
'Don't talk to me，'said Dorian angrily， and walked towards the door．
"别跟我说话。"多里安生气地说，然后走向房门。
'I remember you！You're Prince Charming，aren't you？'she shouted after him．
"我记得你！你是'迷人的王子'，对吗？"她追着他喊。
The sleeping sailor woke up when he heard these words，and as Dorian left the house， the sailor hurried after him．
听见这些话，睡觉的水手醒了。多里安离开房间时，水手在后面紧追不舍。
Dorian walked quickly along the road，but as he reached a corner，hands closed around his neck． A man pulled him backwards and pushed him against a wall．Dorian fought wildly， and pulled the hands away． Then he saw the gun in the man's hand．
多里安在路上走得很快。到了一个角落时，一双手掐住了他的脖子。一个男人将他向后一拉又把他推撞到墙上。多里安拼命地挣扎，拉开了那双手，然后他看见了这个男人手里的枪。
'What do you want？'he said quickly．
"你要干什么？"他急速地问。
'Keep quiet，'said the man．'If you move，I'll shoot you．'
"住嘴。"男人说，"如果你动一下，我就打死你。"
