苔丝 Chapter18
He wondered why she had not written.He forgot that he had told her not to write first.He did not realize that she was obeying his orders exactly，although it was breaking her heart.
他纳闷她为什么不给他写信。他忘了，他说过不要先来信的。他没有意识到她在完完全全地服从他的命令，尽管这叫她伤心欲碎。
On his journey，he travelled with another Englishman.They were both depressed and both told each other their problems.The stranger was older and more experienced than Angel.He had a different，more open approach to life.He told Angel clearly that he was wrong in parting from Tess.
在行程中，他和另外一个英国人结伴而行。他们都很沮丧，彼此倾诉着自己的问题。这位陌生人比安吉尔年长，阅历也更丰富。他对生活的态度有自己不同的、更为豁达开朗的一套。他明确地对安吉尔说，他离开苔丝是错误的。
The next day they got wet in a thunderstorm.The stranger fell ill and died a few days later.Death came as no surprise in that unfriendly land.Clare buried him，and continued his journey.The man's words were somehow given greater importance by his unexpected death，and suddenly Clare felt ashamed.Tess had committed no crime. He should believe in her character，and not object to a past action she could not avoid.He remembered the words of Izz Huett：She would have laid down her life for you.No woman could do more.How she had looked at him on their wedding day—as if he were a god!And during that terrible evening by the fireside，when she told him her story，how desperately sad she had been to realize he might not love her any more.
第二天，他们赶上一场雷阵雨，被浇湿了。这个陌生人病倒了，几天之后便死去了。在那种环境恶劣的地方，死神的降临是不足为奇的。克莱尔将他安葬了，又继续自己的行程。由于这出人意料的死亡，他的话不知怎地显示出了更大的重要性，克莱尔突然感到羞愧了，苔丝并没有犯罪。他应该相信她的品质，而不是对她无法避免的一段过去横加指责。他回想起了伊茨·休爱特说的话：她可以为你舍弃她的生命。没有任何一个女人能付出更多了。在他们结婚的那天，她是带着怎样的眼神凝视着他呀——仿佛他是一个神!而在火炉边度过的那个可怕的夜晚，当她对他说了她的经历后，意识到他可能不再爱她时，她又是多么地伤心欲绝啊!
