Over the last few weeks the villagers had noticed how his moods changed from wild despair to feverish excitement.
在事发前几星期，人们便已经注意到他的情绪发生了变化，原先是绝望之极，后来又激动不安。
He had forgotten his farm and even lost the previous year's harvest.
他完全置农场于不顾，甚至头一年的收成也损失掉了。
And a pile of carefully wrapped parcels of dresses and jewels was found at his house，addressed to‘Bathsheba Boldwood’and dated six years ahead.
在他家，人们找到几个精心包好的包裹，装着衣服和首饰上面写着“给芭丝谢芭·伯德伍德，”日期则是六年以后。
These were accepted by the judges as signs of his madness，and in the end Boldwood was sent to prison for life.
法官们认为，这表明他已精神失常，因而伯德伍德最终被判终生临禁。
Gabriel knew that Bathsheba blamed herself for Troy's death，and would have blamed herself even more for Boldwood's.
盖伯瑞尔明白，芭丝谢芭在为托伊的死而自责，如果伯德伍德死了，她会更加严厉地自责的。
Her health improved only very slowly.
她康复得非常之慢，
She hardly ever went out of the house or garden，and did not discuss her feelings with anyone，even Liddy.
几乎从未出门，也从未同任何人谈起过她自己的感情问题，包括利蒂。
But by the summer she was beginning to spend more time in the open air，and one August evening she walked to the churchyard.
不过，夏天到来时，她在户外的时间多起来了，八月的一个傍晚，她走到了教堂墓地。
She could hear the village children inside the church practising their singing for Sunday.
她听见村里的孩子们正在教堂里练习星期天的祷歌。
She went straight to Fanny's grave，and read Troy's words on the large gravestone：
她径直走向范妮墓边，读着大大的墓碑上托伊的话：
This stone was put up by Francis Troy in loving memory of Fanny Robin，who died on October 9，1866，aged 20.
谨立此碑怀念可爱的范妮·罗宾。她于1866年10月9日逝世，年20岁。
Underneath，on the same stone，were the words she had added：
立碑人弗兰西斯·托伊。在同一墓碑的下方，刻着她加上的字：
In the same grave lies Francis Troy who died on December 24，1867，aged 26.
同一墓穴中安息着弗兰西斯·托伊，他于1867年12月24日逝世，年26岁。
