"I was so terrified that I do not know what I did.

"我當(dāng)時嚇得不知道做了些什么。

I suppose that I must have rushed past him into my room.

我想我大概是飛快地從他的身邊一直奔進了我的房間。

I remember nothing until I found myself lying on my bed trembling all over.

我什么也記不起來了，直到發(fā)覺自己躺在床上，渾身顫抖不已。

Then I thought of you, Mr. Holmes. I could not live there longer without some advice.

這時我想到了你，福爾摩斯先生。如果沒有人給我出主意的話，我就再也不能在那里呆下去了。

I was frightened of the house, of the man, of the woman, of the servants, even of the child.

我害怕那所房子、那個男人、那個女人、那些仆人、甚至那個孩子。

They were all horrible to me. If I could only bring you down all would be well.

他們一個個都使我感到害怕。我若是能夠領(lǐng)你們到那里去，那就好了。

Of course I might have fled from the house, but my curiosity was almost as strong as my fears.

當(dāng)然，我本來可以逃離那所房子，不過我的好奇心同我的恐懼心一樣強烈。

My mind was soon made up. I would send you a wire.

我很快下了決心。我要打一份電報給你。

I put on my hat and cloak, went down to the office, which is about half a mile from the house, and then returned, feeling very much easier.

我戴上帽子，穿上外衣，走到約半英里外的電報局；回去時，心里覺得安穩(wěn)多了。

A horrible doubt came into my mind as I approached the door lest the dog might be loose,

我走近大門時不覺心里又驚慌不安起來，唯恐那只狗已經(jīng)被放出來了，

but I remembered that Toller had drunk himself into a state of insensibility that evening,

但是我想起托勒那天晚上喝得爛醉以至不省人事，

and I knew that he was the only one in the household who had any influence with the savage creature, or who would venture to set him free.

而且我還知道在這家里只有他能對付這只野性的畜牲，所以不會有別人敢冒險把它放出來。

I slipped in in safety and lay awake half the night in my joy at the thought of seeing you.

我偷偷地溜了進去，平安無事，晚上，我想到不久就要見到你們，開心得躺在床上大半夜沒有合眼。

I had no difficulty in getting leave to come into Winchester this morning,

今天早上我毫無困難地請了假到溫切斯特來，

but I must be back before three o'clock, for Mr. and Mrs. Rucastle are going on a visit,

但是三點鐘以前我必須趕回去，因為魯卡斯?fàn)栂壬吞珳?zhǔn)備出去作客，

and will be away all the evening, so that I must look after the child.

今天晚上都不在家，所以我必須照看孩子。

Now I have told you all my adventures, Mr. Holmes,

現(xiàn)在，我已經(jīng)把我的全部歷險經(jīng)過都告訴你了，福爾摩斯先生，

and I should be very glad if you could tell me what it all means, and, above all, what I should do."

要是你能告訴我這一切意味著什么，我將非常高興，并且，最要緊的是，我應(yīng)該怎么辦？"
