‘Yes!Why not?You must tell me!’

“是的!为什么不是?你一定得告诉我!”

‘Well，then… I have married him.’

“嗯，那么……我已经嫁给他了。”

‘Ah!’he cried and looked hard at her.

“啊!”他惊叫起来，愕然地注视着她。

‘It's a secret here，’she begged.‘Please don't tell anybody.’

“在这儿，这是个秘密，”她请求道，“请不要告诉任何人。”

‘Who is he?’asked d’Urberville.‘Where is he?Why isn't he here to look after you?What sort of husband can he be，leaving you to work like this?’

“他是谁?”德伯问道，“他在哪儿?他为什么不在这儿照料你?把你抛下干这样的活儿，他算哪门子的丈夫?”

‘Don't ask!’cried Tess，her eyes flashing.

“别问了!”苔丝叫道，她的眼睛闪着光。

‘Your eyes!’whispered Alec.‘I thought I no longer felt anything for you，but when I look into your eyes…’He took her hand.

“你的眼睛!”亚历克喃喃说道，“我原以为我对你已不再有什么感觉了，但是，当我看到你的眼睛……”他抓住了她的手。

She pulled it quickly away.

她急忙抽了出来。

‘Go now，please，in the name of your new religion，go!Respect me and my husband!’

“走吧，请你走吧，以你的新信仰的名义，走吧!请尊重我和我的丈夫!”

‘Don't worry，I can control myself.I just hoped that our marriage would take away the bad in both of us.But that plan is no good now.’He walked slowly away，his head bent in thought.

“别担心，我能控制自己。我原来只是希望我们的结合能除去我们两个人身上的罪恶。可是这个计划现在看来已经不合适了。”他慢慢地走开了，低头沉思着什么。

The farmer approached at that moment and was angry with Tess for wasting time talking to a stranger.Tess preferred hard words from this man of stone to sweet ones from Alec d’Urberville.For a moment，however，she imagined escaping from her present hard life by marrying Alec，but rejected it immediately.

这时，农场主过来了，他对苔丝浪费时间和一个陌生人交谈这事大为恼火。苔丝宁愿受到这个冷酷的人的严厉谴责，也不愿意听到亚历克·德怕的甜言蜜语。然而，有一刻她想象着与亚历克结婚来摆脱她目前艰难的生活，但是立即又打消了这个念头。

At home that night she began a letter to Clare，telling him of her great love for him.Reading between the lines he would have seen her secret fear for the future.But again she could not finish the letter，thinking of his offer to lzz，and so he never received it.

那晚，她在房子里开始给克莱尔写信，倾诉她对他深厚的爱情。从字里行间，他原可以体会她对未来暗藏的恐惧。可是她又想起了他对伊茨的请求，又一次没能把信写完，因此，他根本就收不到这封信。

On a Sunday in February she was eating her lunch in the cottage where she lived，when d’Urberville knocked at the door.He rushed in and threw himself into a chair.

2月的一个星期天，她正在她住的小房子里吃着午饭，德伯敲响了门，他冲了进来，一屁股坐在了椅子上。

‘Tess!’he cried desperately.‘I can't help it!I can't stop thinking of you!Pray for me，Tess!’

“苔丝!”他声嘶力竭地喊道，“我无法克制自己!我无法停止想你!为我祈祷吧，苔丝!”
