The man told Jane the whole sad story of the fire. 男人把那场火灾的整个悲惨故事告诉了简。
One night, Bertha, the mad wife, had escaped her room again. 一天晚上,疯妻子伯莎又从她的房间里逃了出来。
This time, she set the house on fire, and the flames spread fast through Thornfield. 这次,她放火烧了房子,火焰迅速蔓延到桑菲尔德庄园。
Mr. Rochester had rushed into the burning house—not to save himself, but to save everyone else. 罗切斯特先生冲进了着火的房子——不是为了救自己,而是为了救其他人。
He got all the servants out safely. 他把所有仆人都安全地救了出来。
Then he climbed to the roof to reach Bertha. 然后他爬上屋顶去救伯莎。
But Bertha would not be saved. 但伯莎不肯被救。
Before his eyes, she jumped from the roof and died on the stones below. 在他眼前,她从屋顶跳下,死在了下面的石头上。
As Mr. Rochester came down, the burning roof fell on him. 当罗切斯特先生下来时,燃烧的屋顶塌在了他身上。
He lived, but he was badly hurt. 他活了下来,但他受了重伤。
He lost one hand. 他失去了一只手。
And worst of all, the fire had taken his sight. 最糟糕的是,那场火灾夺去了他的视力。
Mr. Rochester was now blind. 罗切斯特先生现在失明了。
"He lost everything," the man said. “他失去了一切,”那男人说。
"His house, his health, his eyes." “他的房子,他的健康,他的眼睛。”
Jane's tears fell freely. 简的眼泪止不住地流下来。
The proud, powerful man she loved was now broken and alone. 她所爱的那个骄傲、强大的男人现在变得残破不堪,孤身一人。
True love is not weakened by loss; sometimes it is only made deeper. 真爱不会因失去而减弱;有时它只会变得更深。
"Where is he now?" “他现在在哪里?”
Jane asked quickly. 简急切地问道。
The man told her: 那男人告诉她:
Rochester now lived alone in a small house in the woods, 罗切斯特现在独自住在一座森林里的小房子里,
far away. 离得很远。
