I put into his hand a five-pound note.

Without waiting to hear more, I left the kitchen.

我没有再等他说什么便离开了厨房。

In passing the door of that sanctum some time after, I caught the words, --

不久之后我经过这间密室时，听见了这样的话：

"She'll happen do better for him nor ony o't' grand ladies."

“也许她比哪一个阔小姐都更配他呢。”

And again, "If she ben't one o' th' handsomest, she's noan faal and varry good-natured;

接着又说，“虽然她算不上最漂亮，但也不丑，而且脾气又好。

and i' his een she's fair beautiful, onybody may see that."

我见她长得还是比较好看的，谁都看得出来。”

I wrote to Moor¹ House and to Cambridge immediately, to say what I had done: fully² explaining also why I had thus acted.

我立即写信给沼泽居和剑桥，把我的情况告诉了他们，并详细解释了我为什么要这么干。

Diana and Mary approved the step unreservedly.

黛安娜和玛丽毫无保留地对此表示赞同，

Diana announced that she would just give me time to get over the honeymoon³, and then she would come and see me.

黛安娜还说，让我过好蜜月，就来看我。

"She had better not wait till then, Jane," said Mr. Rochester, when I read her letter to him;

“她还是别等到那个时候吧，简，”罗切斯特先生听我读了她的信后说，

"if she does, she will be too late, for our honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine."

“要不然她会太晚了，因为我们的蜜月的清辉会照耀我们一生，它的光芒只有在你我进入坟墓时才会消褪。”

How St. John received the news, I don't know: he never answered the letter in which I communicated it:

圣·约翰对这个消息的反响如何，我一无所知。我透露消息的那封信，他从来没有回复。

yet six months after he wrote to me, without, however, mentioning Mr. Rochester's name or alluding⁴ to my marriage.

但六个月后，他写信给我，却没有提及罗切斯特先生的名字，也没有说起我的婚事。

His letter was then calm, and, though very serious, kind.

他的信平静而友好，但很严肃。

He has maintained a regular, though not frequent, correspondence ever since:

从那以后，他虽不经常来信，却按时写给我，

he hopes I am happy, and trusts I am not of those who live without God in the world, and only mind earthly things.

祝我快乐，并相信我不会是那种活在世上，只顾俗事而忘了上帝的人。

You have not quite forgotten little Adèle, have you, reader? I had not;

你没有完全忘记小阿黛勒吧，是不是呀，读者？我并没有忘记。

I soon asked and obtained leave of Mr. Rochester, to go and see her at the school where he had placed her.

我向罗切斯特先生提出，并得到了他的许可，上他安顿小阿黛勒的学校去看看她。

Her frantic⁵ joy at beholding⁶ me again moved me much.

她一见我便欣喜若狂的情景，着实令我感动。

She looked pale and thin: she said she was not happy.

她看上去苍白消瘦，还说不愉快。

I found the rules of the establishment were too strict, its course of study too severe for a child of her age: I took her home with me.

我发现对她这样年龄的孩子来说，这个学校的规章太严格，课程太紧张了。我把她带回了家。

I meant to become her governess once more, but I soon found this impracticable;

我本想再当她的家庭教师，但不久却发现不切实际。

my time and cares were now required by another -- my husband needed them all.

现在我的时间与精力给了另一个人——我的丈夫全都需要它。
