作者简介：

艾米莉·勃朗特（1818-1848），19世纪英国小说家、诗人，英国文学史上著名的“勃朗特三姐妹”之一。这位女作家在世界上仅仅度过了三十年便默默 无闻地离开了人间，然而她唯一的一部小说《呼啸山庄》却奠定了她在英国文学史以及世界文学史上的地位。此外，她还创作了193首诗，被认为是英国一位天才 型的女作家。

她生性独立、豁达、纯真、刚毅、热情而又内向，颇有男儿气概，酷爱自己生长其间的荒原，平素在离群索居中，除去手足情谊，最喜与大自然为友，从她的诗和一 生行为，都可见她天人合一宇宙观与人生观的表现，有人因此而将她视为神秘主义者。其实人与自然的关系，从来就是人类文明史上重要的命题，艾米莉不过是步历 代哲人、隐者、科学家、艺术家后尘，通过生活和创作，身体力行地探寻人与自然的关系。

Chapter Five. Part 7

1. MR. HINDLEY came home to the funeral; and - a thing that amazed us, and set the neighbours gossiping right and left - he brought a wife with him. What she was, and where she was born, he never informed us: probably, she had neither money nor name to recommend her, or he would scarcely have kept the union from his father.

【译文】

欣德利先生回来参加葬礼，让我们都很奇怪的，也让邻居纷纷纷纷议论的是他竟然带回来了一个妻子。他从来都没有说起过：她是什么人，她是哪里人。很有可能，她既没有钱也没有什么名声，否则他不会把结婚的事情瞒着他父亲。

2. She was not one that would have disturbed the house much on her own account. Every object she saw, the moment she crossed the threshold, appeared to delight her; and every circumstance that took place about her: except the preparing for the burial, and the presence of the mourners. I thought she was half silly, from her behaviour while that went on: she ran into her chamber, and made me come with her, though I should have been dressing the children: and there she sat shivering and clasping her hands, and asking repeatedly - 'Are they gone yet?' Then she began describing with hysterical emotion the effect it produced on her to see black; and started, and trembled, and, at last, fell a-weeping - and when I asked what was the matter, answered, she didn't know; but she felt so afraid of dying! I imagined her as little likely to die as myself. She was rather thin, but young, and fresh-complexioned, and her eyes sparkled as bright as diamonds. I did remark, to be sure, that mounting the stairs made her breathe very quick; that the least sudden noise set her all in a quiver, and that she coughed troublesomely sometimes: but I knew nothing of what these symptoms portended, and had no impulse to sympathise with her. We don't in general take to foreigners here, Mr. Lockwood, unless they take to us first.

【译文】

她并没有为了自己而过多的扰乱这个房子。自她跨进大门以后，每件她看见的东西都让她到让她高兴，除了正在准备的葬礼和前来悼念的人们，仿佛所有的事情都是 因她而发生。从她的举止看来，我觉得她有些傻：她跑进她的房间，并让我跟她去，其实我该给孩子们穿衣服。 在她的房间里，她颤巍巍的坐在那里，双手紧扣，一遍又一遍的问道，“他们走了吗？”然后，她开始歇斯底里的描述一看到黑色她就会出现的症状：惊恐，发抖， 最后大哭。我问她原因，回答却是她不知道。但是她是如此的怕死。我觉得她会死的可能性和我一样小。她的确很瘦，但是很年轻，而且脸色很好，眼睛像宝石一样 有闪闪发亮。我的确注意到，跑上楼来，让她的呼吸变得很快，还有就是突然冒出来的细微声响也会让她吓一跳，还有她有时候可得非常厉害。但是，我不知道这些 症状意味着什么，所以没有同情她的念头。洛克·伍德先生，我们一般不会喜欢外地人，除非他们先喜欢我们。

【单词、短语笔记】

gossip：流言，流言蜚语；爱讲闲话的人；闲谈，八卦 n.

一说到这个词，大家都会想到的一部电视剧是gossip girl. 里面时尚元素很多，关系也很复杂，不过前面的2季还不错，可以拿来练习听力，学一些里面流行的口语哦！估计大家对开头的那句话也耳熟能详了吧：Gossip girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite. 这里说一下elite这个词，是精英的意思，例如：He is an educated and intellectual elite. 他是受过教育的知识分子精英。
