These words cut me: yet what could I do or I say?
这些话使我感到难受，可是我能做什么，说什么呢？
I ought probably to have done or said nothing;
也许我应当什么也别做，什么也别说。
but I was so tortured by a sense of remorse at thus hurting his feelings,
但是我被悔恨折磨着，因为我伤了他的感情，
I could not control the wish to drop balm where I had wounded.
我无法抑制自己的愿望，在我制造的伤口上贴上膏药。
"I do love you," I said, "more than ever:
“我确实爱你，”我说，“从来没有这么爱过。
but I must not show or indulge the feeling: and this is the last time I must express it."
但我决不能表露或纵容这种感情。这是我最后一次表达了。”
"The last time, Jane! What! Do you think you can live with me, and see me daily,
“最后一次，简！什么！你认为可以跟我住在一起，天天看到我，
and yet, if you still love me, be always cold and distant?"
而同时要是仍爱我，却又经常保持冷漠和疏远吗？”
"No, sir; that I am certain I could not;
“不，先生，我肯定不行，
and therefore I see there is but one way: but you will be furious if I mention it."
因此我认为只有一个办法，但要是我说出来，你准会发火。”
"Oh, mention it! If I storm, you have the art of weeping."
“噢，说吧！我就是大发雷霆，你也有哭哭啼啼的本事。”
"Mr. Rochester, I must leave you."
“罗切斯特先生，我得离开你。”
"For how long, Jane? For a few minutes, while you smooth your hair -- which is somewhat dishevelled;
“离开多久，简？几分钟工夫吧，梳理一下你有些蓬乱的头发，
and bathe your face -- which looks feverish?"
洗一下你看上去有些发烧的脸吗？”
"I must leave Adèle and Thornfield. I must part with you for my whole life:
“我得离开阿黛勒和桑菲尔德。我得永生永世离开你。
I must begin a new existence among strange faces and strange scenes."
我得在陌生的面孔和陌生的环境中开始新的生活。”
