"What!" he exclaimed, "Are you quitting me already, and in that way?"
"什么！"他大叫道，"你已经要离开了，就那么走了？"
You said I might go, sir.
你说我可以走了，先生。
But not without taking leave, not without a word or two of acknowledgment and good-will,
可不能不告而别，不能连一两句表示感谢和善意的活都没有，
not, in short, in that brief, dry fashion.
总之不能那么简简单单，干干巴巴。
Why, you have saved my life, snatched me from a horrible and excruciating death,
嗨，你救了我的命呀？把我从可怕和痛苦的死亡中拯救出来！
and you walk past me as if we were mutual strangers!
而你就这么从我面前走过，仿佛我们彼此都是陌路人！
At least shake hands.
至少也得握握手吧。
He held out his hand; I gave him mine.
他伸出手来，我也向他伸出手去。
He took it first in one, then in both his own.
他先是用一只手，随后用双手把我的手握住。
You have saved my life.
你救了我的命。
I have a pleasure in owing you so immense a debt.
我很高兴，欠了你那么大一笔人情债。
I cannot say more. Nothing else that has being would have been tolerable to me in the character of creditor for such an obligation,
我无法再说别的话了，要是别的债主，我欠了那么大情，我准会难以容忍，
but you, it is different.
可是你却不同。
I feel your benefits no burden, Jane.
我并不觉得欠你的恩情是一种负担，简。
He paused, gazed at me.
他停顿了一下，眼睛盯着我。
Words almost visible trembled on his lips, but his voice was checked.
话几乎已到了颤动着的嘴边，但他控制住了自己的嗓音。
Good-night again, sir. There is no debt, benefit, burden, obligation, in the case.
再次祝你晚安，先生，那件事没有负债，没有恩情，没有负担，也没有义务。
"I knew," he continued, "you would do me good in some way, at some time.
"我早就知道，"他继续说："你会在某一时候，以某种方式为我做好事的
I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.
我初次见你的时候，就从你眼睛里看到了这一点，
Their expression and smile did not" (again he stopped)
那表情，那笑容不会（他再次打住），
"did not" (he proceeded hastily) "strike delight to my very inmost heart so for nothing.
不会（他匆忙地继续说）无缘无故地在我心底里激起愉悦之情。
