I had forgotten to draw my curtain, which I usually did, and also to let down my window-blind. ||||trag|||||||||||||jaluzea|jaluzea J'avais oublié de tirer mon rideau, ce que je fais habituellement, et de baisser mon store. The consequence was, that when the moon, which was full and bright (for the night was fine), came in her course to that space in the sky opposite my casement, and looked in at me through the unveiled panes, her glorious gaze roused me. ||||||||||||||||||||cursă|||||||opus||fereastră||s-a uitat||||||neacoperite|feronieră|||privire|m-a trezit| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||uncovered|||||| La conséquence fut, que lorsque la lune, qui était pleine et brillante (car la nuit était belle), vint dans son cours vers cet espace dans le ciel en face de ma fenêtre, et me regarda à travers les vitres dévoilées, son regard glorieux s'éveilla moi. Awaking in the dead of night, I opened my eyes on her disk—silver-white and crystal clear. Waking up||||||||||||the moon||||| Trezindu-mă|||miezul nopții|||||||||||||| Me réveillant en pleine nuit, j'ouvris les yeux sur son disque - blanc argenté et limpide. It was beautiful, but too solemn; I half rose, and stretched my arm to draw the curtain. C'était beau, mais trop solennel; Je me levai à moitié et étirai mon bras pour tirer le rideau. Good God!

What a cry! The night—its silence—its rest, was rent in twain by a savage, a sharp, a shrilly sound that ran from end to end of Thornfield Hall. |||||||rent|in|in two|||||||shrill|||||||||| La nuit - son silence - son repos, fut déchirée en deux par un son sauvage, aigu, aigu qui courait de bout en bout de Thornfield Hall. My pulse stopped: my heart stood still; my stretched arm was paralysed. Mon pouls s'est arrêté: mon cœur s'est arrêté; mon bras tendu était paralysé. The cry died, and was not renewed. Le cri mourut et ne fut pas renouvelé. Indeed, whatever being uttered that fearful shriek could not soon repeat it: not the widest-winged condor on the Andes could, twice in succession, send out such a yell from the cloud shrouding his eyrie. ||||||||||||||||large bird|||mountain range|||||||||||||covering||nest or perch En effet, tout ce qui était poussé ce cri effrayant ne pouvait pas le répéter de sitôt: pas le condor le plus large des Andes ne pouvait, deux fois de suite, envoyer un tel cri depuis le nuage enveloppant son nid d'oeil. The thing delivering such utterance must rest ere it could repeat the effort. La chose qui prononce un tel énoncé doit reposer avant de pouvoir répéter l'effort. It came out of the third storey; for it passed overhead. Il est sorti du troisième étage; car il passait au-dessus.

And overhead—yes, in the room just above my chamber-ceiling—I now heard a struggle: a deadly one it seemed from the noise; and a half-smothered voice shouted— |||||||||||||||||||||||||||muffled|| And overhead—yes, in the room just above my chamber-ceiling—I now heard a struggle: a deadly one it seemed from the noise; and a half-smothered voice shouted— Et au-dessus de ma tête - oui, dans la pièce juste au-dessus du plafond de ma chambre - j'entendais maintenant un combat: un combat mortel semblait-il dû au bruit; et une voix à moitié étouffée cria - “Help!

help! help!” three times rapidly. “Will no one come?” it cried; and then, while the staggering and stamping went on wildly, I distinguished through plank and plaster:— "Personne ne viendra?" il a pleuré; et puis, tandis que le titubage et l'estampage se déroulaient à toute vitesse, je distinguai par la planche et le plâtre: “Rochester!

Rochester!

for God’s sake, come!” A chamber-door opened: some one ran, or rushed, along the gallery. Une porte de chambre s'ouvrit: quelqu'un courut ou se précipita le long de la galerie. Another step stamped on the flooring above and something fell; and there was silence. |||||floor above|||||||| Un autre pas est gravé sur le plancher au-dessus et quelque chose est tombé; et il y eut un silence. I had put on some clothes, though horror shook all my limbs; I issued from my apartment. J'avais mis des vêtements, bien que l'horreur ait secoué tous mes membres; Je suis sorti de mon appartement.

The sleepers were all aroused: ejaculations, terrified murmurs sounded in every room; door after door unclosed; one looked out and another looked out; the gallery filled. |people sleeping|||awakened||||||||||||||||||||| The sleepers were all aroused: ejaculations, terrified murmurs sounded in every room; door after door unclosed; one looked out and another looked out; the gallery filled. Les dormeurs étaient tous excités: des éjaculations, des murmures terrifiés résonnaient dans chaque pièce; porte après porte non fermée; l'un regardait dehors et un autre regardait dehors; la galerie s'est remplie. Gentlemen and ladies alike had quitted their beds; and “Oh! Gentlemen and ladies alike had quitted their beds; and “Oh! Les messieurs et les dames avaient quitté leur lit, et "Oh ! what is it?”—“Who is hurt?”—“What has happened?”—“Fetch a light!”—“Is it fire?”—“Are there robbers?”—“Where shall we run?” was demanded confusedly on all hands. ||||||||||||||||||||||||in a panic||| qu'est-ce que c'est? »-« Qui est blessé? »-« Que s'est-il passé? »-« Va chercher une lumière! »-« Est-ce du feu? »-« Y a-t-il des voleurs? »-« Où allons-nous courir? » a été demandé confusément de toutes les mains. But for the moonlight they would have been in complete darkness. Sans le clair de lune, ils auraient été dans l'obscurité totale. They ran to and fro; they crowded together: some sobbed, some stumbled: the confusion was inextricable. |||||||||sobbed||||||impossible to untangle They ran to and fro; they crowded together: some sobbed, some stumbled: the confusion was inextricable. Ils allaient et venaient; ils s'entassaient: certains sanglotaient, certains trébuchaient: la confusion était inextricable. “Where the devil is Rochester?” cried Colonel Dent. "Où diable est Rochester?" s'écria le colonel Dent. “I cannot find him in his bed.” “Here!

here!” was shouted in return. “Be composed, all of you: I’m coming.” "Soyez calme, vous tous: je viens." And the door at the end of the gallery opened, and Mr. Rochester advanced with a candle: he had just descended from the upper storey. And the door at the end of the gallery opened, and Mr. Rochester advanced with a candle: he had just descended from the upper storey. One of the ladies ran to him directly; she seized his arm: it was Miss Ingram. “What awful event has taken place?” said she. «Quel événement horrible a eu lieu?» dit-elle. “Speak! let us know the worst at once!” faites-nous savoir le pire à la fois! “But don’t pull me down or strangle me,” he replied: for the Misses Eshton were clinging about him now; and the two dowagers, in vast white wrappers, were bearing down on him like ships in full sail. «Mais ne me tirez pas vers le bas ou ne m'étranglez pas,» répondit-il: car les Misses Eshton s'accrochaient à lui maintenant; et les deux douairières, vêtues de vastes enveloppes blanches, se précipitaient sur lui comme des navires en pleine mer. “All’s right!—all’s right!” he cried. All is||||| “It’s a mere rehearsal of Much Ado about Nothing. |||practice session||||| «C'est une simple répétition de Much Ado about Nothing. Ladies, keep off, or I shall wax dangerous.” ||||||become| Ladies, keep off, or I shall wax dangerous.” Mesdames, éloignez-vous, ou je deviendrai dangereux. And dangerous he looked: his black eyes darted sparks. Et il avait l'air dangereux: ses yeux noirs lançaient des étincelles.

Calming himself by an effort, he added— “A servant has had the nightmare; that is all. «Un serviteur a fait le cauchemar; c'est tout.

She’s an excitable, nervous person: she construed her dream into an apparition, or something of that sort, no doubt; and has taken a fit with fright. ||||||interpreted||||||||||||||||||| C'est une personne excitante et nerveuse: elle a interprété son rêve comme une apparition, ou quelque chose de ce genre, sans aucun doute; et a pris une crise de peur. Now, then, I must see you all back into your rooms; for, till the house is settled, she cannot be looked after. Now, then, I must see you all back into your rooms; for, till the house is settled, she cannot be looked after. Maintenant, alors, je dois vous revoir tous dans vos appartements; car, tant que la maison n'est pas réglée, elle ne peut pas être soignée. Gentlemen, have the goodness to set the ladies the example. Miss Ingram, I am sure you will not fail in evincing superiority to idle terrors. |||||||||||||idle| Mlle Ingram, je suis sûr que vous ne manquerez pas de montrer votre supériorité sur les vaines terreurs. Amy and Louisa, return to your nests like a pair of doves, as you are. Amy|||||||||||||| Amy et Louisa, retournez à vos nids comme des colombes, comme vous l'êtes. Mesdames” (to the dowagers), “you will take cold to a dead certainty, if you stay in this chill gallery any longer.” Mesdames” (to the dowagers), “you will take cold to a dead certainty, if you stay in this chill gallery any longer.” Mesdames »(aux douairières),« vous prendrez froid à une certitude morte, si vous restez plus longtemps dans cette galerie froide. » And so, by dint of alternate coaxing and commanding, he contrived to get them all once more enclosed in their separate dormitories. ||by|dint|||||||||||||||||| And so, by dint of alternate coaxing and commanding, he contrived to get them all once more enclosed in their separate dormitories. Et ainsi, à force de cajoler et de commander alternativement, il réussit à les enfermer tous une fois de plus dans leurs dortoirs séparés. I did not wait to be ordered back to mine, but retreated unnoticed, as unnoticed I had left it. I did not wait to be ordered back to mine, but retreated unnoticed, as unnoticed I had left it. Je n'ai pas attendu d'être renvoyé chez moi, mais je me suis retiré inaperçu, car je l'avais laissé inaperçu. Not, however, to go to bed: on the contrary, I began and dressed myself carefully. Not, however, to go to bed: on the contrary, I began and dressed myself carefully. Pas, cependant, d'aller au lit: au contraire, j'ai commencé et m'habillais soigneusement. The sounds I had heard after the scream, and the words that had been uttered, had probably been heard only by me; for they had proceeded from the room above mine: but they assured me that it was not a servant’s dream which had thus struck horror through the house; and that the explanation Mr. Rochester had given was merely an invention framed to pacify his guests. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||pacify|| Les sons que j'avais entendus après le cri, et les mots qui avaient été prononcés, n'avaient probablement été entendus que par moi; car ils étaient sortis de la chambre au-dessus de la mienne; mais ils m'assurèrent que ce n'était pas le rêve d'un serviteur qui avait ainsi frappé l'horreur dans la maison; et que l'explication que M. Rochester avait donnée n'était qu'une invention conçue pour apaiser ses invités. I dressed, then, to be ready for emergencies. I dressed, then, to be ready for emergencies. Je m'habillai donc pour être prêt pour les urgences. When dressed, I sat a long time by the window looking out over the silent grounds and silvered fields and waiting for I knew not what. When dressed, I sat a long time by the window looking out over the silent grounds and silvered fields and waiting for I knew not what. Une fois habillé, je me suis assis longtemps près de la fenêtre, regardant dehors les jardins silencieux et les champs argentés et attendant je ne savais quoi. It seemed to me that some event must follow the strange cry, struggle, and call. Il me semblait qu'un événement devait suivre l'étrange cri, lutte et appel. No: stillness returned: each murmur and movement ceased gradually, and in about an hour Thornfield Hall was again as hushed as a desert. No: stillness returned: each murmur and movement ceased gradually, and in about an hour Thornfield Hall was again as hushed as a desert. Non: l'immobilité est revenue: chaque murmure et chaque mouvement ont cessé progressivement, et au bout d'une heure environ, Thornfield Hall était de nouveau aussi silencieux qu'un désert. It seemed that sleep and night had resumed their empire. It seemed that sleep and night had resumed their empire. Il semblait que le sommeil et la nuit avaient repris leur empire. Meantime the moon declined: she was about to set. Pendant ce temps, la lune déclina: elle était sur le point de se coucher. Not liking to sit in the cold and darkness, I thought I would lie down on my bed, dressed as I was. N'aimant pas m'asseoir dans le froid et l'obscurité, j'ai pensé que je m'allongerais sur mon lit, habillée comme j'étais. I left the window, and moved with little noise across the carpet; as I stooped to take off my shoes, a cautious hand tapped low at the door. |||||||||||||||||||||careful|||||| I left the window, and moved with little noise across the carpet; as I stooped to take off my shoes, a cautious hand tapped low at the door. J'ai quitté la fenêtre et je me suis déplacé sans bruit sur le tapis; alors que je me penchais pour enlever mes chaussures, une main prudente tapa sur la porte. “Am I wanted?” I asked. «Suis-je recherché?» J'ai demandé.

“Are you up?” asked the voice I expected to hear, viz., my master’s. ||||||||||namely|| «Êtes-vous debout?» demanda la voix que je m'attendais à entendre, à savoir celle de mon maître. “Yes, sir.”

“And dressed?”

“Yes.”

“Come out, then, quietly.”

I obeyed.

Mr. Rochester stood in the gallery holding a light. “I want you,” he said: “come this way: take your time, and make no noise.” «Je te veux», dit-il: «viens par ici: prends ton temps et ne fais pas de bruit.» My slippers were thin: I could walk the matted floor as softly as a cat. Mes pantoufles étaient fines: je pouvais marcher sur le sol feutré aussi doucement qu'un chat.

He glided up the gallery and up the stairs, and stopped in the dark, low corridor of the fateful third storey: I had followed and stood at his side. ||||||||||||||||||destined to happen|||||||||| He glided up the gallery and up the stairs, and stopped in the dark, low corridor of the fateful third storey: I had followed and stood at his side. Il remonta la galerie et monta les escaliers, et s'arrêta dans le couloir sombre et bas du fatidique troisième étage: j'avais suivi et me tenais à ses côtés. “Have you a sponge in your room?” he asked in a whisper. |||cleaning absorbent tool|||||||| «Avez-vous une éponge dans votre chambre?» »il a demandé dans un murmure. “Yes, sir.”

“Have you any salts—volatile salts?” |||aromatic compounds|easily evaporated substances| «Avez-vous des sels, des sels volatils?»

“Yes.”

“Go back and fetch both.”

I returned, sought the sponge on the washstand, the salts in my drawer, and once more retraced my steps. ||||||||||||||||went back over|| Je suis revenu, j'ai cherché l'éponge sur le lavabo, les sels dans mon tiroir, et je suis de nouveau revenu sur mes pas. He still waited; he held a key in his hand: approaching one of the small, black doors, he put it in the lock; he paused, and addressed me again. “You don’t turn sick at the sight of blood?” “I think I shall not: I have never been tried yet.” "Je pense que je ne le ferai pas: je n'ai encore jamais été jugé." I felt a thrill while I answered him; but no coldness, and no faintness. |||||||||||||weakness or dizziness J'ai ressenti un frisson en lui répondant, mais pas de froideur, ni d'évanouissement. “Just give me your hand,” he said: “it will not do to risk a fainting fit.” ||||||||||||||fainting|fit «Donnez-moi simplement votre main», a-t-il dit: «il ne suffira pas de risquer un évanouissement.» I put my fingers into his.

“Warm and steady,” was his remark: he turned the key and opened the door. «Chaleureux et régulier», fut sa remarque: il tourna la clé et ouvrit la porte. I saw a room I remembered to have seen before, the day Mrs. Fairfax showed me over the house: it was hung with tapestry; but the tapestry was now looped up in one part, and there was a door apparent, which had then been concealed. I saw a room I remembered to have seen before, the day Mrs. Fairfax showed me over the house: it was hung with tapestry; but the tapestry was now looped up in one part, and there was a door apparent, which had then been concealed. J'ai vu une pièce dont je me souvenais avoir déjà vue, le jour où Mme Fairfax m'a montré la maison: elle était tapissée de tapisserie; mais la tapisserie était maintenant bouclée en une partie, et il y avait une porte apparente, qui avait alors été dissimulée. This door was open; a light shone out of the room within: I heard thence a snarling, snatching sound, almost like a dog quarrelling. ||||||||||||||||growling||||||| This door was open; a light shone out of the room within: I heard thence a snarling, snatching sound, almost like a dog quarrelling. Cette porte était ouverte; une lumière brillait hors de la pièce à l'intérieur: j'entendis de là un grondement, un bruit d'arrachement, presque comme un chien se querellant. Mr. Rochester, putting down his candle, said to me, “Wait a minute,” and he went forward to the inner apartment.

A shout of laughter greeted his entrance; noisy at first, and terminating in Grace Poole’s own goblin ha! |||||||||||ending|||||| A shout of laughter greeted his entrance; noisy at first, and terminating in Grace Poole's own goblin ha! Un éclat de rire salua son entrée; bruyant au début, et se terminant par le propre gobelin de Grace Poole, ha! ha! She then was there. Elle était alors là. He made some sort of arrangement without speaking, though I heard a low voice address him: he came out and closed the door behind him. He made some sort of arrangement without speaking, though I heard a low voice address him: he came out and closed the door behind him. Il fit une sorte d'arrangement sans parler, même si j'entendis une voix basse s'adresser à lui: il sortit et ferma la porte derrière lui. “Here, Jane!” he said; and I walked round to the other side of a large bed, which with its drawn curtains concealed a considerable portion of the chamber. «Ici, Jane!» il a dit; et je fis le tour de l'autre côté d'un grand lit qui, avec ses rideaux tirés, cachait une partie considérable de la chambre. An easy-chair was near the bed-head: a man sat in it, dressed with the exception of his coat; he was still; his head leant back; his eyes were closed. An easy-chair was near the bed-head: a man sat in it, dressed with the exception of his coat; he was still; his head leant back; his eyes were closed. Un fauteuil était près de la tête de lit: un homme y était assis, habillé à l'exception de son manteau; il était encore; sa tête se pencha en arrière; ses yeux étaient fermés. Mr. Rochester held the candle over him; I recognised in his pale and seemingly lifeless face—the stranger, Mason: I saw too that his linen on one side, and one arm, was almost soaked in blood. |||||||||||||apparently|unconscious||||||||||||||||||||| M. Rochester tenait la bougie sur lui; Je reconnus sur son visage pâle et apparemment sans vie - l'étranger, Mason: je vis aussi que son linge d'un côté et d'un bras était presque trempé de sang. “Hold the candle,” said Mr. Rochester, and I took it: he fetched a basin of water from the washstand: “Hold that,” said he. “Hold the candle,” said Mr. Rochester, and I took it: he fetched a basin of water from the washstand: “Hold that,” said he. "Tenez la chandelle", dit M. Rochester, et je la pris ; il alla chercher une cuvette d'eau sur le lavabo : "Tenez-la", dit-il. I obeyed.

He took the sponge, dipped it in, and moistened the corpse-like face; he asked for my smelling-bottle, and applied it to the nostrils. ||||||||dampened|||||||||||||||| Il prit l'éponge, la trempa dedans et humidifia le visage semblable à un cadavre; il a demandé mon flacon odorant et l'a appliqué sur les narines. Mr. Mason shortly unclosed his eyes; he groaned. Mr. Rochester opened the shirt of the wounded man, whose arm and shoulder were bandaged: he sponged away blood, trickling fast down. ||||||||||||||wrapped in bandages||wiped with sponge||||| Mr. Rochester opened the shirt of the wounded man, whose arm and shoulder were bandaged: he sponged away blood, trickling fast down. M. Rochester a ouvert la chemise du blessé, dont le bras et l'épaule étaient bandés: il a épongé du sang, coulant rapidement. “Is there immediate danger?” murmured Mr. Mason. “Pooh!

No—a mere scratch. Non, une simple égratignure. Don’t be so overcome, man: bear up! Ne sois pas si accablé, mec: tiens bon! I’ll fetch a surgeon for you now, myself: you’ll be able to be removed by morning, I hope. Je vais aller chercher un chirurgien pour vous maintenant, moi-même: vous pourrez être enlevé le matin, j'espère. Jane,” he continued. “Sir?”

“I shall have to leave you in this room with this gentleman, for an hour, or perhaps two hours: you will sponge the blood as I do when it returns: if he feels faint, you will put the glass of water on that stand to his lips, and your salts to his nose. «Je vais devoir vous laisser dans cette pièce avec ce monsieur, pendant une heure, ou peut-être deux heures: vous épongerez le sang comme moi quand il reviendra: s'il se sent faible, vous poserez le verre d'eau sur ce support à ses lèvres, et vos sels à son nez. You will not speak to him on any pretext—and—Richard, it will be at the peril of your life if you speak to her: open your lips—agitate yourself—and I’ll not answer for the consequences.” ||||||||||Richard's life threatened||||||||||||||||||stir yourself||||||||outcomes You will not speak to him on any pretext—and—Richard, it will be at the peril of your life if you speak to her: open your lips—agitate yourself—and I'll not answer for the consequences.” Vous ne lui parlerez sous aucun prétexte - et - Richard, ce sera au péril de votre vie si vous lui parlez: ouvrez les lèvres - agitez-vous - et je ne répondrai pas des conséquences. Again the poor man groaned; he looked as if he dared not move; fear, either of death or of something else, appeared almost to paralyse him. De nouveau, le pauvre gémit; il avait l'air d'oser bouger; la peur, soit de la mort, soit d'autre chose, semblait presque le paralyser. Mr. Rochester put the now bloody sponge into my hand, and I proceeded to use it as he had done. Mr. Rochester put the now bloody sponge into my hand, and I proceeded to use it as he had done. M. Rochester a mis l'éponge maintenant ensanglantée dans ma main, et j'ai commencé à l'utiliser comme il l'avait fait. He watched me a second, then saying, “Remember!—No conversation,” he left the room. He watched me a second, then saying, “Remember!—No conversation,” he left the room. I experienced a strange feeling as the key grated in the lock, and the sound of his retreating step ceased to be heard. ||||||||scraped harshly|||||||||moving away||||| J'ai ressenti une sensation étrange lorsque la clé a râpé dans la serrure, et le bruit de son pas de retraite a cessé d'être entendu. Here then I was in the third storey, fastened into one of its mystic cells; night around me; a pale and bloody spectacle under my eyes and hands; a murderess hardly separated from me by a single door: yes—that was appalling—the rest I could bear; but I shuddered at the thought of Grace Poole bursting out upon me. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||female killer|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Me voici donc au troisième étage, attaché à l'une de ses cellules mystiques; nuit autour de moi; un spectacle pâle et sanglant sous mes yeux et mes mains; une meurtrière à peine séparée de moi par une seule porte: oui - c'était épouvantable - je pouvais supporter le reste; mais je frissonnai à la pensée de Grace Poole qui jaillissait sur moi. I must keep to my post, however. Je dois cependant m'en tenir à mon poste.

I must watch this ghastly countenance—these blue, still lips forbidden to unclose—these eyes now shut, now opening, now wandering through the room, now fixing on me, and ever glazed with the dulness of horror. Je dois regarder ce visage effrayant - ces lèvres bleues et immobiles qu'il est interdit de fermer - ces yeux maintenant fermés, maintenant ouverts, maintenant errants dans la pièce, maintenant fixés sur moi, et toujours vitrés de la morosité de l'horreur. I must dip my hand again and again in the basin of blood and water, and wipe away the trickling gore. ||immerse||||||||||||||||||clotted blood Je dois plonger ma main encore et encore dans le bassin de sang et d'eau, et essuyer le sang qui coule. I must see the light of the unsnuffed candle wane on my employment; the shadows darken on the wrought, antique tapestry round me, and grow black under the hangings of the vast old bed, and quiver strangely over the doors of a great cabinet opposite—whose front, divided into twelve panels, bore, in grim design, the heads of the twelve apostles, each enclosed in its separate panel as in a frame; while above them at the top rose an ebon crucifix and a dying Christ. |||||||||diminish||||||||||ancient, old-fashioned|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||grim depiction||||||Jesus' disciples||||||sections||||||||||||||cross with Christ|||| Je dois voir la lumière de la bougie non soufflée décroître sur mon emploi; les ombres s'obscurcissent sur la tapisserie antique forgée qui m'entoure, et noircissent sous les tentures du vaste lit ancien, et tremblent étrangement sur les portes d'un grand cabinet d'en face - dont la façade, divisée en douze panneaux, portait d'un dessin sinistre les têtes des douze apôtres, chacune enfermée dans son panneau séparé comme dans un cadre; tandis qu'au-dessus d'eux, au sommet, s'élevaient un crucifix d'ébène et un Christ mourant. According as the shifting obscurity and flickering gleam hovered here or glanced there, it was now the bearded physician, Luke, that bent his brow; now St. |||||||||||||||||||||||sourcil|| |||||||||||||||||||Dr. Luke|||||| According as the shifting obscurity and flickering gleam hovered here or glanced there, it was now the bearded physician, Luke, that bent his brow; now St. Selon que l'obscurité changeante et la lueur vacillante planaient ici ou y jetaient un coup d'œil, c'était maintenant le médecin barbu, Luke, qui baissait les sourcils; maintenant St. John’s long hair that waved; and anon the devilish face of Judas, that grew out of the panel, and seemed gathering life and threatening a revelation of the arch-traitor—of Satan himself—in his subordinate’s form. ||||||||sinister|||traitor's face||||||||||||||||||||the devil||||underling's| Les longs cheveux de John qui ondulaient; et sur le visage diabolique de Judas, qui s'est développé hors du panneau, et a semblé rassembler la vie et menacer une révélation de l'archi-traître - de Satan lui-même - sous la forme de son subordonné. Amidst all this, I had to listen as well as watch: to listen for the movements of the wild beast or the fiend in yonder side den. |everything happening around|||||||||||||||||||||||||hidden lair Amidst all this, I had to listen as well as watch: to listen for the movements of the wild beast or the fiend in yonder side den. Au milieu de tout cela, je devais écouter autant que regarder: écouter les mouvements de la bête sauvage ou du démon dans l'antre de l'autre côté. But since Mr. Rochester’s visit it seemed spellbound: all the night I heard but three sounds at three long intervals,—a step creak, a momentary renewal of the snarling, canine noise, and a deep human groan. ||||||||||||||||||||||||briefly lasting|resumption||||dog-like|||||| But since Mr. Rochester's visit it seemed spellbound: all the night I heard but three sounds at three long intervals,—a step creak, a momentary renewal of the snarling, canine noise, and a deep human groan. Mais depuis la visite de M. Rochester, cela me parut fasciné: toute la nuit, je n'entendis que trois sons à trois longs intervalles, un grincement de pas, un renouvellement momentané du grondement, un bruit canin et un profond gémissement humain. Then my own thoughts worried me. Puis mes propres pensées m'inquiétèrent.

What crime was this that lived incarnate in this sequestered mansion, and could neither be expelled nor subdued by the owner?—what mystery, that broke out now in fire and now in blood, at the deadest hours of night? |||||||||||||||expelled||||||||||||||||||||most silent||| What crime was this that lived incarnate in this sequestered mansion, and could neither be expelled nor subdued by the owner?—what mystery, that broke out now in fire and now in blood, at the deadest hours of night? Quel crime était ce crime qui vivait incarné dans ce manoir séquestré et ne pouvait être ni expulsé ni maîtrisé par le propriétaire? Quel mystère, qui éclatait maintenant en feu et maintenant en sang, aux heures les plus mortelles de la nuit? What creature was it, that, masked in an ordinary woman’s face and shape, uttered the voice, now of a mocking demon, and anon of a carrion-seeking bird of prey? |||||disguised|||||||||||||||malevolent spirit|||||decaying flesh|||| What creature was it, that, masked in an ordinary woman's face and shape, uttered the voice, now of a mocking demon, and anon of a carrion-seeking bird of prey?

And this man I bent over—this commonplace, quiet stranger—how had he become involved in the web of horror? ||||||||||||||impliqué||||| And this man I bent over—this commonplace, quiet stranger—how had he become involved in the web of horror? Et cet homme sur lequel je me suis penché - cet étranger banal et tranquille - comment s'était-il impliqué dans la toile de l'horreur? and why had the Fury flown at him?

J'avais entendu M. Rochester lui assigner un appartement en bas - ce qui l'a amené ici! And why, now, was he so tame under the violence or treachery done him? Et pourquoi, maintenant, était-il si apprivoisé sous la violence ou la trahison qui lui avait été faite? Why did he so quietly submit to the concealment Mr. Rochester enforced? Pourquoi s'est-il si tranquillement soumis à la dissimulation que M. Rochester a imposée? Why did Mr. Rochester enforce this concealment? ||||impose, mandate, require|| Pourquoi M.

Lastly, I saw Mr. Mason was submissive to Mr. Rochester; that the impetuous will of the latter held complete sway over the inertness of the former: the few words which had passed between them assured me of this.

Rochester; que la volonté impétueuse de ces derniers l'emportait sur l'inertie des premiers: les quelques mots qui s'étaient écoulés entre eux m'assuraient de cela.

I could not forget his look and his paleness when he whispered: “Jane, I have got a blow—I have got a blow, Jane.”  I could not forget how the arm had trembled which he rested on my shoulder: and it was no light matter which could thus bow the resolute spirit and thrill the vigorous frame of Fairfax Rochester.

When will he come?” I cried inwardly, as the night lingered and lingered—as my bleeding patient drooped, moaned, sickened: and neither day nor aid arrived. Quand viendra-t-il?" J'ai pleuré intérieurement, alors que la nuit s'attardait et s'attardait - alors que mon patient saignant tombait, gémissait, tombait malade - et ni le jour ni l'aide ne sont arrivés.

He moaned so, and looked so weak, wild, and lost, I feared he was dying; and I might not even speak to him. Il gémissait ainsi, et avait l'air si faible, sauvage et perdu, je craignais qu'il ne meure; et je pourrais même pas lui parler.

Rochester entered, and with him the surgeon he had been to fetch. Rochester entra, et avec lui le chirurgien qu'il était allé chercher. “Now, Carter, be on the alert,” he said to this last: “I give you but half-an-hour for dressing the wound, fastening the bandages, getting the patient downstairs and all.” “Now, Carter, be on the alert,” he said to this last: “I give you but half-an-hour for dressing the wound, fastening the bandages, getting the patient downstairs and all.” «Maintenant, Carter, sois en alerte,» dit-il à ce dernier: «Je ne te donne qu'une demi-heure pour panser la plaie, attacher les bandages, faire descendre le patient et tout. "Ora, Carter, stai all'erta", disse a quest'ultimo: "Vi do solo mezz'ora per medicare la ferita, fissare le bende, portare il paziente di sotto e tutto il resto". “But is he fit to move, sir?” “But is he fit to move, sir?” «Mais est-il apte à bouger, monsieur?

Then he approached Mason, whom the surgeon was already handling. Puis il s'approcha de Mason, que le chirurgien s'occupait déjà. “Now, my good fellow, how are you?” he asked.

“She’s done for me, I fear,” was the faint reply. “She's done for me, I fear,” was the faint reply. «Elle a fait pour moi, je le crains», fut la faible réponse. “Not a whit!—courage! ||Not at all|Be brave “Not a whit!—courage! - Pas du tout! - courage!

“Oh, it was frightful!” he added, shuddering. «Oh, c'était affreux!» ajouta-t-il en frissonnant. “And I did not expect it: she looked so quiet at first.” «Et je ne m'y attendais pas: elle avait l'air si calme au début. “I warned you,” was his friend’s answer; “I said—be on your guard when you go near her. Besides, you might have waited till to-morrow, and had me with you: it was mere folly to attempt the interview to-night, and alone.” D'ailleurs, vous auriez pu attendre jusqu'à demain et m'avoir avec vous: ce n'était que de la folie de tenter l'entretien ce soir et seul.

Oui, cela m'impatiente de vous entendre: mais cependant vous avez souffert, et vous risquez de souffrir assez pour ne pas avoir suivi mes conseils; donc je n'en dirai pas plus.

“You will when you are out of the country: when you get back to Spanish Town, you may think of her as dead and buried—or rather, you need not think of her at all.” «Tu le feras quand tu seras hors du pays: quand tu seras de retour à Spanish Town, tu pourras la considérer comme morte et enterrée - ou plutôt, tu n'as pas besoin de penser à elle du tout.
