I was surprised by the effect of my action．
我这个动作的后果让我吃了一惊。
Heathcliff dropped his candle and stood without moving，his face as white as the wall behind him．
希斯克利夫手里的蜡烛掉了，呆呆地站在那儿，他的脸煞白得像他身后的墙。
He did not seem to recognize me.
他好像没认出我来。
‘It's only your guest，Lockwood，’I said．‘I'm sorry，I must have had a bad dream and screamed in my sleep．’
“我不过是您的客人，洛克伍德啊，”我说。“对不起，想必我做了个恶梦，在睡梦中尖叫出来了。”
‘To the devil with you，Mr Lockwood！’growled my landlord．‘Who allowed you to sleep in this room？Who was it？’
“见鬼去吧，洛克伍德先生！”我的房东咆哮道。“谁允许你睡在这房间的？是谁？”
‘It was your housekeeper，Mr Heathcliff，’I said，quickly putting my clothes on．
“是您的女管家，希斯克利夫先生，”我说，同时很快地穿上了衣服。
‘And I'm angry with her myself！ No one can sleep in a room full of ghosts！’
“我也很生她的气！没人能睡在这挤满鬼魂的房间！”
‘What do you mean？’asked Heathcliff，looking suddenly very interested.‘Ghosts，you say？’
“你什么意思？”希斯克利夫问，突然露出很感兴趣的样子。“鬼魂，你说？”
‘That little girl，Catherine Linton，or Earnshaw，or whatever her name was，must have been wicked！
“那个小姑娘，凯瑟琳·林顿，或欧肖，或不管她叫什么，一定是个邪种！
She told me she had been a ghost for nearly twenty years．It was probably a punishment for her wickedness！’
她告诉我她已经做了将近二十年的鬼了。这可能就是对她邪恶的惩罚！”
‘How dare you speak of her to me？’cried Heathcliff wildly．
“你怎么竟敢对我说起她来？”希斯克利夫狂怒地高声叫道。
But as I described my dream，he became calmer，and sat down on the bed，trembling as he tried to control his feelings.
但随着我描述着梦境，他开始平静下来，在床边坐下，颤抖着，试图控制他的情绪。
‘Mr Lockwood，’he said finally，brushing a tear from his eye，
“洛克伍德先生，”最后他开腔了，一边抹去他眼里的一滴泪，
‘you can go into my bedroom to sleep for the rest of the night．
“后半夜你可以去我的卧室睡。
I'll stay here for a while．’
我要在这儿呆一会儿。”
