Dì èr tiān wǎnshang liù diǎn, Luóqièsītè xiānsheng qǐng Jiǎn hé Ādài'ěr qù hē chá.
The next evening at six, Mr. Rochester asked Jane and Adele to join him for tea.
- Mr. Rochester 爱小姐,坐吧。你是从哪儿来的?
Ài xiǎojie, zuò ba. Nǐ shì cóng nǎr lái de?
Sit down, Miss Eyre. Where have you come from?
- Jane Eyre 罗沃德学校,先生。我在那儿住了八年。
Luówòdé xuéxiào, xiānsheng. Wǒ zài nàr zhù le bā nián.
From the school at Lowood, sir. I lived there for eight years.
- Mr. Rochester 八年!你的爸爸妈妈呢?
Bā nián! Nǐ de bàba māma ne?
Eight years! And your father and mother?
- Jane Eyre 我没有爸爸妈妈,先生。我很小的时候,他们就死了。
Wǒ méiyǒu bàba māma, xiānsheng. Wǒ hěn xiǎo de shíhou, tāmen jiù sǐ le.
I have no father or mother, sir. They died when I was very small.
- Mr. Rochester 你的样子,好像是从故事书里走出来的。昨天晚上,是你让我的马滑倒的吧?
Nǐ de yàngzi, hǎoxiàng shì cóng gùshishū li zǒu chūlai de. Zuótiān wǎnshang, shì nǐ ràng wǒ de mǎ huádǎo de ba?
You look as if you stepped out of a storybook. Last night, it was you who made my horse slip, wasn't it?
- Jane Eyre 不是我,先生。是冰。
Bú shì wǒ, xiānsheng. Shì bīng.
It wasn't me, sir. It was the ice.
- Mr. Rochester 冰?好一个回答!
Bīng? Hǎo yí gè huídá!
The ice? What an answer!
- Narrator 几天以后的一个晚上,他们又坐在火边。
Jǐ tiān yǐhòu de yí gè wǎnshang, tāmen yòu zuò zài huǒ biān.
One evening a few days later, they sat by the fire again.
- Mr. Rochester 爱小姐,你一直在看我。你觉得我好看吗?
Ài xiǎojie, nǐ yìzhí zài kàn wǒ. Nǐ juéde wǒ hǎokàn ma?
Miss Eyre, you keep looking at me. Do you think me handsome?
- Jane Eyre 不好看,先生。
Bù hǎokàn, xiānsheng.
No, sir.
- Jane Eyre 对不起,先生!我是说,好看不好看,不是最重要的。
Duìbuqǐ, xiānsheng! Wǒ shì shuō, hǎokàn bu hǎokàn, bú shì zuì zhòngyào de.
I'm sorry, sir! I mean, looks are not the most important thing.
- Mr. Rochester 不用说对不起。你说的是真话,我喜欢。
Bú yòng shuō duìbuqǐ. Nǐ shuō de shì zhēnhuà, wǒ xǐhuan.
No need to say sorry. You told the truth, and I like that.
- Jane Eyre 他微笑了。他微笑的时候,好看多了。
Tā wēixiào le. Tā wēixiào de shíhou, hǎokàn duō le.
He smiled. When he smiles, he looks much better.
- Narrator 一天下午,阿黛尔在花园里跟派洛特玩。
Yì tiān xiàwǔ, Ādài'ěr zài huāyuán li gēn Pàiluòtè wán.
One afternoon, Adele was playing with Pilot in the garden.
- Adele 小姐,您看!派洛特开始跟我跳舞了!
Xiǎojie, nín kàn! Pàiluòtè kāishǐ gēn wǒ tiàowǔ le!
Miss, look! Pilot has started dancing with me!
- Mr. Rochester 她跳舞的样子,跟她妈妈一样。
Tā tiàowǔ de yàngzi, gēn tā māma yíyàng.
She dances just like her mother.
- Jane Eyre 先生,您为什么这么伤心?阿黛尔的妈妈在哪儿?
Xiānsheng, nín wèishénme zhème shāngxīn? Ādài'ěr de māma zài nǎr?
Why are you so sad, sir? Where is Adele's mother?
- Mr. Rochester 她叫赛琳,是个法国女人,在巴黎跳舞。那时候,我很爱她。
Tā jiào Sàilín, shì ge Fǎguó nǚrén, zài Bālí tiàowǔ. Nà shíhou, wǒ hěn ài tā.
Her name was Celine. She was a French woman who danced in Paris. Back then, I loved her very much.
- Mr. Rochester 可是她也爱别的男人。后来她走了,留下了阿黛尔。
Kěshì tā yě ài bié de nánrén. Hòulái tā zǒu le, liúxià le Ādài'ěr.
But she loved another man too. Later she went away and left Adele behind.
- Jane Eyre 所以,您把她带到了桑菲尔德?
Suǒyǐ, nín bǎ tā dài dào le Sāngfēi'ěrdé?
So you brought her to Thornfield?
- Mr. Rochester 对。我不觉得她是我的女儿,可是我的心不是冰做的。
Duì. Wǒ bù juéde tā shì wǒ de nǚ'ér, kěshì wǒ de xīn bú shì bīng zuò de.
Yes. I don't believe she's my daughter. But my heart isn't made of ice.
