The Fortune-Teller

Nǐ xiǎng suànmìng ma? Bǎ shǒu gěi wǒ.

Do you want your fortune told? Give me your hand.

Wǒ bú xìn suànmìng. Kěshì nín shuō ba, wǒ tīngzhe.

I don't believe in fortunes. But go on, I'm listening.

Nǐ zhǎng de bú piàoliang, yě méiyǒu qián. Kěshì nǐ de yǎnjing hěn měilì, huì shuōhuà.

You aren't pretty, and you have no money. But your eyes are beautiful. They can speak.

Wǒ zhīdào wǒ zhǎng de chǒu, bú yòng nín shuō.

I know I'm ugly. You don't have to tell me.

Nǐ hěn lěng. Nǐ zhǐ yǒu yí gè rén. Nǐ yě hěn bèn.

You're cold. You're all alone. And you're foolish.

Wǒ zěnme bèn le?

How am I foolish?

Kuàilè jiù zài nǐ shēnbiān, nǐ wèishénme bú qù ná ne?

Happiness is right beside you. Why don't you reach for it?

Tiāntiān wǎnshang nǐ dōu zuò zài kètīng li, kànzhe yí gè rén. Wǒ zhīdào shì shéi.

Every evening you sit in the drawing room watching someone. I know who.

Wǒ shéi yě méi kàn. Nín shì zài zuòmèng ba.

I'm not watching anyone. You must be dreaming.

Nǐ hái zài xiǎng měilì de Yīnggélāmǔ xiǎojie, hái yǒu sān lóu de Gélěisī Pǔ'ěr.

And you keep thinking about the beautiful Miss Ingram, and about Grace Poole on the third floor.

Nín zěnme shénme dōu zhīdào? Nín dàodǐ shì shéi?

How do you know all this? Who are you, really?

Wǒ shì suànmìng de lǎotàitai, wǒ shénme dōu zhīdào. Nǐ xīn li hái yǒu yí gè mìmì…

I'm an old fortune-teller, and I know everything. And in your heart there's a secret...

Wǒ méiyǒu mìmì.

I have no secrets.

Zhè shíhou, lǎotàitai de shēngyīn biàn le.

Just then, the old woman's voice changed.

Jiǎn, nǐ hái bú rènshi wǒ ma?

Jane, don't you know me yet?

Zhè zhī shǒu… shì xiānsheng de shǒu! Luóqièsītè xiānsheng, shì nín!

This hand... It's your hand, sir! Mr. Rochester, it's you!

Wǒ xiàng bu xiàng yí gè lǎotàitai?

Do I make a good old woman?

Hěn xiàng, xiānsheng. Kěshì nín zhèyàng zuò bú duì.

Very good, sir. But it wasn't right of you.

Duì le, xiānsheng, nín bú zài de shíhou, lái le yí wèi kèrén. Tā jiào Méisēn.

Oh, sir, while you were out, a visitor came. His name is Mason.

Méisēn? Tā cóng nǎr lái?

Mason? Where is he from?

Tā shuō tā cóng Yámǎijiā lái, shì nín de lǎo péngyou.

He says he's from Jamaica, an old friend of yours.

Yámǎijiā… Jiǎn, wǒ kuài zhàn bu zhù le.

Jamaica... Jane, I can hardly stand.

Xiānsheng, nín de liǎn hǎo bái! Wǒ hěn dānxīn nín.

Sir, you've gone so pale! I'm worried about you.

Bié dānxīn. Qù gěi wǒ ná yì bēi jiǔ lái, kuài!

Don't worry. Go and get me a glass of wine. Quick!

Jiǎn nálai le jiǔ. Tā hē le, zài huǒ biān zuòxià.

Jane brought the wine. He drank it and sat down by the fire.

Jiǎn, rúguǒ zhèxiē rén dōu bú yào wǒ le, yí gè yí gè dōu zǒu le, nǐ yě zǒu ma?

Jane, if all these people turned against me and left one by one, would you go too?

Wǒ huì ràng tāmen dōu zǒu, xiānsheng. Wǒ bù zǒu, wǒ gēn nín zài yìqǐ.

I'd send them all away, sir. I wouldn't go. I'd stay with you.

Nà tiān yèli, dàjiā dōu shuì le.

That night, the whole house was asleep.

Kuài lái rén! Luóqièsītè, kuài lái!

Help! Rochester, come quickly!
