and to the last I repudiated the contamination of her crimes, and wrenched myself from connection with her mental defects.

Still, society associated my name and person with hers;
但社会依然把我的名字，我本人和她捆在一起，

我仍旧天天看到她，听到她。她呼吸的一部分（呸！）混杂在我呼吸的空气中。
and besides, I remembered I had once been her husband
此外，我还记得我曾是她的丈夫
that recollection was then, and is now, inexpressibly odious to me;

moreover, I knew that while she lived I could never be the husband of another and better wife;
而且我知道，只要她还活着，我就永远不能成为另一个更好的妻子的丈夫。
and, though five years my senior (her family and her father had lied to me even in the particular of her age),
尽管她比我大五岁（她的家庭和她的父亲甚至在她年龄细节上也骗了我），
she was likely to live as long as I, being as robust in frame as she was infirm in mind.
她很可能跟我活得一样长，因为她虽然头脑衰弱，但体魄强健。
Thus, at the age of twenty-six, I was hopeless."
于是在二十六岁的年纪上，我便全然无望了。
