Before he could touch me， I jumped off the bed and ran downstairs into the garden. I stayed there all night， but I could not think clearly.I was afraid. And when morning came， I went out into the town and began to walk about.
没等他碰到我，我便跳下床冲到了楼下的花园里。我整个晚上都呆在那儿，只是思维已不清楚了。我很害怕。等到早上，我便走出花园到城里去并开始四处逛悠。
I did not notice where I was walking， but soon I came to the station. A train from Geneva had just arrived， and the passengers were leaving the station. One of them ran towards me when he saw me. It was my dear friend Henry Clerval.
我没注意我在什么地方走，但不久便到了火车站。刚好从日内瓦来了一趟火车，乘客正走出车站。其中一位见到我后便朝我跑了过来。原来是我的好朋友亨利·克勒沃。
He was very pleased to see me. He took my hand and shook it warmly.
他见到我很高兴。他抓住我的手热情地握了起来。
"My dear Victor！" he said."What a lucky chance that you are here at the station. Your father， and Elizabeth and the others， are very worried about you， because you have not visited them for a long time. They ask me to make sure that you are well. And I have very good news. My father has agreed to let me study at the university， so we shall be able to spend a lot of time together."
“我亲爱的维克多！”他说道，“你在车站这儿真是巧极了。你父亲、伊丽莎白还有其他人都非常为你担心，因为你很久没有探望他们了。他们让我来看看你的身体是否还好。另外我还有个好消息。我父亲已同意让我上大学学习，这样我们就能有好多时间呆在一起了。”
I was very happy to hear this news， and for a moment I for-got my fears.I took Henry back to my flat and asked him to wait outside while I went in to look. I was afraid that the creature was still there. But he had disappeared.At that time I did not think of other people， and what the creature could do to them.I took Henry into the flat and cooked a meal for us.But Henry noticed how thin I was，and that I was laughing too much and could not sit still.
我听了这个消息后很高兴，并且有一阵儿都忘记了我的恐惧之感。我把亨利带回我的公寓并让他在外面等着以便我能进去看一看。我害怕那个家伙还在那儿。但是他已经不见了。那时我没有想到过其他人以及那个家伙会对他们怎么样。我把亨利领进屋里并给我们做了顿吃的。然而亨利注意到了我有多么瘦削，我还笑得太多，也不能安静地坐着。
Suddenly he said："My dear Victor， what is the matter with you？Are you ill？ Has something awful happened？"
他突然说道：“我亲爱的维克多，你怎么啦？你生病了吗？发生了什么可怕的事情了吗？”
"Don't ask me that，" I cried. I put my hands over my eyes.I thought I could see the horrible creature there in front of me. I pointed wildly across the room， and shouted："He can tell you. Save me！ Save me！" I tried to fight the creature，but there was nothing there. Then I fainted and fell to the floor.
“别问我这个，”我喊道。我用手捂住眼睛。当时我想我能看见那个可怕的家伙正在我的面前。我发疯似地指向屋子，并且喊道：“他能告诉你。救救我！救救我！”我想去同那个家伙搏斗，但那儿什么也没有。然后我就晕过去，倒在了地板上。
Poor Henry！ I do not know what he thought. He called a doctor and they put me to bed. I was very ill for two months，and Henry stayed and looked after me. His loving care saved me from death.
可怜的亨利！我不知道他当时是怎么想的。他叫了个医生并且一起把我扶到了床上。我大病了两个月，亨利一直留下来照顾我。他那充满爱意的护理把我从死亡那儿救了回来。
I wanted to go home and see my family as soon as possible.When I was well enough，I packed my clothes and books.All my luggage was ready， and I was feeling very happy when the postman arrived with some letters.One of the letters ended my short time of happiness.
我想尽快回家去见我的家人。在我恢复得足够强壮后，我便收拾起衣服和书籍。我的行李都已准备好了，但是正当我无比高兴时邮递员给我送来了几封信。其中的一封结束了我短暂的快乐时光。
