內容簡介：

《呼嘯山莊》是英國女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的作品。小說描寫吉卜賽棄兒希斯克利夫被山莊老主人收養(yǎng)后，因受辱和戀愛不遂，外出致富，回來后對與其女友凱瑟琳結婚的地主林頓及其子女進行報復的故事。全篇充滿強烈的反壓迫、爭幸福的斗爭精神，又始終籠罩著離奇、緊張的浪漫氣氛。它開始曾被人看做是 年青女作家脫離現(xiàn)實的天真幻想，但結合其所描寫地區(qū)激烈的階級斗爭和英國的社會現(xiàn)象，它不久便被評論界高度肯定，并受到讀者的熱烈歡迎。根據這部小說改編 的影視作品至今久演不衰。

作者簡介：

艾米莉·勃朗特（1818-1848），19世紀英國小說家、詩人，英國文學史上著名的“勃朗特三姐妹”之一。這位女作家在世界上僅僅度過了三十年便默默 無聞地離開了人間，然而她唯一的一部小說《呼嘯山莊》卻奠定了她在英國文學史以及世界文學史上的地位。此外，她還創(chuàng)作了193首詩，被認為是英國一位天才 型的女作家。

她生性獨立、豁達、純真、剛毅、熱情而又內向，頗有男兒氣概，酷愛自己生長其間的荒原，平素在離群索居中，除去手足情誼，最喜與大自然為友，從她的詩和一 生行為，都可見她天人合一宇宙觀與人生觀的表現(xiàn)，有人因此而將她視為神秘主義者。其實人與自然的關系，從來就是人類文明史上重要的命題，艾米莉不過是步歷 代哲人、隱者、科學家、藝術家后塵，通過生活和創(chuàng)作，身體力行地探尋人與自然的關系。

Chapter Five. Part 6

1. 'I shall bid father good-night first,' said Catherine, putting her arms round his neck, before we could hinder her. The poor thing discovered her loss directly - she screamed out - 'Oh, he's dead, Heathcliff! he's dead!' And they both set up a heart-breaking cry.

【譯文】

“我要先跟父親道晚安才是?！眲P瑟琳說。我還沒有來得及攔住她，她已經用手環(huán)上了父親的脖子?？蓱z的孩子親自發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的不幸，她尖叫出聲，“噢！他死了。希斯克利夫！他死了！”然后，兩個人開始放聲痛哭。

2. I joined my wail to theirs, loud and bitter; but Joseph asked what we could be thinking of to roar in that way over a saint in heaven. He told me to put on my cloak and run to Gimmerton for the doctor and the parson. I could not guess the use that either would be of, then. However, I went, through wind and rain, and brought one, the doctor, back with me; the other said he would come in the morning. Leaving Joseph to explain matters, I ran to the children's room: their door was ajar, I saw they had never lain down, though it was past midnight; but they were calmer, and did not need me to console them. The little souls were comforting each other with better thoughts than I could have hit on: no parson in the world ever pictured heaven so beautifully as they did, in their innocent talk; and, while I sobbed and listened, I could not help wishing we were all there safe together.

【譯文】

我也跟他們一起痛哭，大聲的，痛苦的。但是約瑟夫責問我們到底在想什么，在一個進入天堂的圣徒面前哭嚎。他讓我穿上斗篷去吉默吞請醫(yī)生和牧師。我想不去請這兩個人來有什么用，但是，我還是不顧風雨，帶回來了一位醫(yī)生。牧師說，他會在天亮后過來。把解說事情緣由的人物留給了約瑟夫，我跑向孩 子們的房間。他們的們半掩著，我看見他們都還沒有睡下，盡管已經過了午夜。但是他們都平靜多了，也不需要我去安慰他們。小家伙們安慰彼此的方法比我想到過 的都好：沒有那個牧師能把天堂描繪得和他們天真無邪的談話中的一樣美麗，而嗚咽著，靜靜的聽著，情不自禁的禱告我們從此之后都平安無事。
