Back to Gateshead

Bèixī hěn hǎo. Kěshì jiā li chū le dàshì. Yuēhàn shàoye sǐ le, qián yě dōu huā wán le.

Bessie is well. But something terrible has happened at home. Master John is dead, and all the money has been spent.

Tàitai tīng le, bìng de hěn zhòng, kuài bù xíng le. Tā tiāntiān jiào nín de míngzi.

When the mistress heard, she fell very ill. She's dying, and she calls your name every day.

Tā yào jiàn wǒ? Nàge shuō wǒ shì piànzi de rén?

She wants to see me? The woman who called me a liar?

Xiānsheng, wǒ děi huí Gàicíhēidé jǐ tiān. Lǐdé tàitai kuài sǐ le.

Sir, I must go back to Gateshead for a few days. Mrs. Reed is dying.

Lǐdé tàitai? Tā shì shéi?

Mrs. Reed? Who is she?

Wǒ jiùjiu de tàitai. Jiù shì tā sòng wǒ qù Luówòdé de.

My uncle's wife. She's the one who sent me to Lowood.

Zhèyàng de rén, nǐ hái yào huíqu kàn tā?

A woman like that, and you're going back to see her?

Tā kuài sǐ le, xiānsheng. Wǒ yīnggāi qù.

She's dying, sir. I ought to go.

Hǎo ba, qù ba. Wǒ gāi gěi nǐ shíwǔ yīngbàng, xiān gěi nǐ shí yīngbàng. Qián duō le, nǐ jiù bù huílai le.

All right, go. I owe you fifteen pounds; here are ten for now. Give you more, and you'd never come back.

Nà nín hái yào zài gěi wǒ wǔ yīngbàng ne, xiānsheng.

Then you still owe me five pounds, sir.

Nà nǐ jiù huílai ná ba! Háiyǒu, bié qù zhǎo xīn de gōngzuò. Wǒ jiéhūn yǐhòu, gěi nǐ zhǎo yí gè.

Then come back for it! And don't go looking for a new post. When I'm married, I'll find you one.

Hǎo de, xiānsheng. Wǒ bú qù zhǎo.

Very well, sir. I won't look.

Wǔyuè yī hào, zǒu le yìbǎi yīnglǐ, Jiǎn huí dào le Gàicíhēidé.

On the first of May, after a hundred miles, Jane was back at Gateshead.

Jiǎn xiǎojie! Zhēn de shì nǐ! Nǐ zhǎngdà le, xiàng yí wèi xiǎojie le!

Miss Jane! It's really you! You're all grown up, a real lady!

Jiùmā, shì wǒ, Jiǎn. Wǒ lái kàn nín le.

Aunt, it's me, Jane. I've come to see you.

Hóng fángjiān… nàge háizi hái zài lǐbian kū…

The red room... that child is still crying in there...

Shí tiān yǐhòu de yí gè wǎnshang, Lǐdé tàitai jiào Jiǎn zuò dào chuángbiān.

Ten days later, one evening, Mrs. Reed called Jane to sit by her bed.

Jiǎn Ài, wǒ zuò cuò le liǎng jiàn shì. Nǐ jiùjiu sǐ yǐqián, yào wǒ hǎohǎo duì nǐ, wǒ méi zuòdào.

Jane Eyre, I did two wrong things. Before your uncle died, he asked me to be good to you. I wasn't.

Háiyǒu, sān nián qián, nǐ shūshu Yuēhàn Ài cóng Mǎdélā gěi wǒ xiě le yì fēng xìn.

And three years ago, your uncle John Eyre wrote to me from Madeira.

Tā méiyǒu háizi. Tā xiǎng ràng nǐ zuò tā de nǚ'ér, yǐhòu qián dōu gěi nǐ.

He had no children. He wanted you for his daughter, and one day all his money would be yours.

Wǒ yǒu yí gè shūshu? Nín zài xìn li shì zěnme shuō de?

I have an uncle? What did you say in your letter?

Wǒ shuō, nǐ zài Luówòdé sǐ le.

I said you had died at Lowood.

Yuánlái shì zhèyàng… jiùmā, yǐqián de shì, bié xiǎng le. Wǒ yuánliàng nín.

So that's how it was... Aunt, don't think about the past. I forgive you.

Nín yě yuánliàng wǒ ba. Ràng wǒ qīn nín yíxià, hǎo ma?

Forgive me too. Let me kiss you, will you?

Lǐdé tàitai méiyǒu kàn tā, yě méiyǒu shuōhuà. Nà tiān bànyè, tā sǐ le.

Mrs. Reed would not look at her, and said nothing. At midnight that night, she died.

Wǒ zài zhèr yí gè yuè le. Fèi'ěrfǎkèsī tàitai xiě xìn lái le.

I've been here a month now. A letter has come from Mrs. Fairfax.

Kèrén dōu zǒu le, Luóqièsītè xiānsheng qù Lúndūn mǎi xīn mǎchē le.

The guests have all gone, and Mr. Rochester has gone to London to buy a new carriage.

Xīn mǎchē… shì wèile jiéhūn ba.

A new carriage... it must be for his wedding.
