双语小说连载:《董贝父子》第12章 Part 9
Tea was served in a style no less polite than the dinner; and after tea, the young gentlemen rising and bowing as before,withdrew to fetch up the unfinished tasks of that day, or to get up the already looming tasks of to-morrow. In the meantime Mr Feeder withdrew to his own room; and Paul sat in a corner wondering whether Florence was thinking of him, and what they were all about at Mrs Pipchin's.
Mr Toots, who had been detained by an important letter from the Duke of Wellington, found Paul out after a time; and having looked at him for a long while, as before, inquired if he was fond of waistcoats.
图茨先生由于忙着草拟惠灵顿公爵寄来的一封重要信件，刚才耽搁了一些时候，这时把保罗找到了；他像先前一样看了他好久之后问他，他是不是喜欢背心。Paul said 'Yes, Sir.'
保罗说，“喜欢，先生。”
'So am I,' said Toots.
“我也喜欢，”图茨说道。No word more spoke Toots that night; but he stood looking at Paul as if he liked him; and as there was company in that, and Paul was not inclined to talk, it answered his purpose better than conversation.
那天夜里图茨没有再说别的话；但他站在那里看着保罗，仿佛他喜欢他；由于这里有着情谊，而保罗又不想说话，这比交谈更符合他的意愿。At eight o'clock or so, the gong sounded again for prayers in the dining-room, where the butler afterwards presided over a side-table, on which bread and cheese and beer were spread for such young gentlemen as desired to partake of those refreshments. The ceremonies concluded by the Doctor's saying, 'Gentlemen, we will resume our studies at seven to-morrow;' and then, for the first time, Paul saw Cornelia Blimber's eye, and saw that it was upon him. When the Doctor had said these words, 'Gentlemen, we will resume our studies at seven tomorrow,' the pupils bowed again, and went to bed.
八点钟左右，锣又响起来，召唤大家到餐厅里去做祈祷；男管家在那里摆了一张边桌，桌子上散放着面包、乳酪和啤酒，供那些需要提神滋补一下的年轻的先生们在祈祷之后取食。最后，布林伯博士说道，“先生们，我们明天七点钟将重新开始学习，”这样仪式就结束了；然后，保罗第一次看到科妮莉亚·布林伯的眼光，看到那是对着他看的。当博士说了“先生们，我们明天七点钟将重新开始学习”之后，小学生们又鞠了躬，然后去睡觉。In the confidence of their own room upstairs, Briggs said his head ached ready to split, and that he should wish himself dead if it wasn't for his mother, and a blackbird he had at home Tozer didn't say much, but he sighed a good deal, and told Paul to look out, for his turn would come to-morrow. After uttering those prophetic words, he undressed himself moodily, and got into bed. Briggs was in his bed too, and Paul in his bed too, before the weak-eyed young man appeared to take away the candle, when he wished them good-night and pleasant dreams. But his benevolent wishes were in vain, as far as Briggs and Tozer were concerned; for Paul, who lay awake for a long while, and often woke afterwards, found that Briggs was ridden by his lesson as a nightmare: and that Tozer, whose mind was affected in his sleep by similar causes, in a minor degree talked unknown tongues, or scraps of Greek and Latin - it was all one to Paul- which, in the silence of night, had an inexpressibly wicked and guilty effect.
在楼上他们自己的房间里，布里格斯吐露心事说，他的头痛得就要裂开；如果不是为了他的母亲和他家中的一只黑鸟的话，那么他真巴不得自己死去才好。托泽没有多说话，但他叹了好多气，并劝告保罗准备着，因为明天就要轮到他了。在说了这些预言性的话之后，他郁郁不乐地脱掉衣服，上了床。当那位弱视的年轻人进来拿走蜡烛，并祝他们夜安和做个快乐的梦的时候，布里格斯也已经在床上了，保罗也一样已经躺在床上了。可是就布里格斯与托泽来说，他的善意的祝愿却没起作用；因为保罗醒着躺了好久，后来又时常醒过来，他发现，功课像个梦魇一样折磨着布里格斯；托泽在睡眠中也由于同样的原因，头脑受到了滋扰，只不过程度轻一些罢了；他说着听不明白的语言，不是希腊语就是拉丁语的片断——对保罗来说完全是一样——，在夜晚的寂静中，它们有着难以形容的邪恶与罪恶的效果。注释:loomn. 织布机；若隐若现的景象
