I needed to study for several months to make a woman monster successfully.I heard that an English scientist had done some useful work,so I decided to go to England.
为了成功地造一个女怪物我需要几个月的时间进行研究。我了解到有个英国科学家已进行了一些有价值的工作,于是决定去英国。
Before I went, my father asked me："Are you going to marry Elizabeth,or do you love another woman？Is this why you are so unhappy？"
在我去之前,我父亲问我：“你是打算娶伊丽莎白,还是爱上了另外一个女人？你是不是因为这个而如此不高兴？”
"No, father,"I replied."I have always loved Elizabeth,and I want to marry her.But I must do one more piece of scientific work before we can marry.I must go to England to do the work and I want to marry Elizabeth when I return."
“不是,爸爸。”我回答道,“我一直都爱伊丽莎白,并且我要娶她。但是在我们结婚之前我必须再进行一项科学工作。我必须去英国做那项工作而在回来后便同伊丽莎白结婚。”
My father and Elizabeth did not want me to go to England alone,because I had been so ill.They spoke to my old friend Henry Clerval,and he was very happy to travel with me.I was pleased that he could come,although I did not want him to discover anything about my horrible work.
我父亲和伊丽莎白不想让我单独去英国,因为我一直生病。他们对我的老朋友亨利·克勒沃讲了,而他非常高兴同我一起去。他能去我很高兴,尽管我不想让他知道有关我那可怕的工作的任何事情。
Henry and I reached London in early October and stayed there for a few months.I met and talked with English scientists,and learnt many useful things from them.Then Henry was invited to visit some friends in Scotland.I planned to travel with him,but I told him that I wanted to go walking in the mountains alone. Henry was not happy with my plan, but in the end he agreed.
亨利和我于10月初到达伦敦并在那儿呆了几个月。我同几个英国科学家见了面并谈了话,并从他们那儿了解到许多有用的东西。后来亨利被邀请去拜访几位苏格兰朋友。我计划同他一起去,但告诉他说我想独自一人在山中散步。亨利对我的计划不满,但最终还是同意了。
I bought all that I needed for a laboratory, and sent every-thing to Scotland.Henry and I travelled to Edinburgh together,and then I went further north,to find a good place for my laboratory.At last I found the right place on an island off the north coast.It was a wild and lonely place.Only five people lived on the island, so I could work alone, and nobody would discover my awful secret.
我买了实验室所需的一切东西,并把所有的东西都送到了苏格兰。亨利同我一起到了爱丁堡,然后我继续朝北走,以便为我的实验室找到合适的地点。最后我在远离北部海岸的一个岛上找到了合适的地点。那是个荒凉偏僻的地方。岛上只有五个人居住,因而我可以独自工作,没有人会发现我那可怕的秘密。
There was a large, empty hut on the island,and I brought builders from Scotland to make the hut into a laboratory for me.I showed them how to build my mast,and soon everything was ready for me to start work on the woman monster.
岛上有一个大的空茅屋；我从苏格兰带去了建筑工人以便把茅屋改造成我的实验室。我指示他们如何建杆子,不久所有为我造女怪物的准备工作均已就绪。
