She fell at length into a profound slumber, motionless and apparently breathless, her head resting in my lap.
后来，她陷入深睡，一动不动，好像没了气息，她的头还搭在我的膝盖上；
I myself could no longer resist the inclination to sleep, in spite of the continual roar of the cannon.
我自己也感到难以克制的昏昏欲睡，尽管周围炮声隆隆。
Suddenly I was aroused by a wild, unearthly scream close to my ear;
猛然，一声发狂怪异的尖叫刺入我的耳膜，
my companion stood upright beside me, her arms raised, and her head bent forward in the attitude of listening.
杰西.布朗竟笔直地站起，立在我的身边，她的双臂高举，头部往前弯曲，好像在倾听什么。
A look of intense delight broke over her countenance;
她的脸上突然现出难以克制的兴奋，
she grasped my hand, drew me toward her, and exclaimed: Dinna ye hear it? dinna ye hear it?
紧紧抓住我的手，把我往她身边拖拽，一边尖声高叫：“迪娜，听见吗？你听见吗？
Ay. I'm no dreaming: it's the slogan o' the Highlanders! We're saved! we're saved!
喂，我绝不是在做梦，这是苏格兰高地人的广播！我们得救了！我们得救了！
Then flinging herself on her knees, she thanked God with passionate fervor.
说时迟，那时快，她扑通跪倒在地，感谢上帝的仁慈，情绪那么亢奋激昂。
I felt utterly bewildered; my English ears heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought my poor Jessie was still raving;
此刻，我手足无措地站在旁边，我那听惯英语的耳朵，耳边只有炮声的滚滚轰鸣。我原以为可怜的杰西还在胡言乱语，
but she darted to the batteries, and I heard her cry incessantly to the men,
她蓦然飞一般冲到街垒边，对那些荷枪实弹的男人们大声喊道：
Courage! courage! Hark to the slogan—to the Macgregor, the grandest of them a'! Here's help at last!
加油！勇敢些！你们听到广播吗？那是麦格雷戈的声音，他是最棒的！我们的救兵终于来了！
