2、o Roger Chillingworth a deformed old figure, with a face that haunted mens memories longer than they liked took leave of Hester Prynne, and went stooping away along the earth. He gathered here and there an herb, or grubbed up a root, and put it into the basket on his arm. His grey beard almost touch
3、ed the ground, as he crept onward. Hester gazed after him a little while, looking with a half fantastic curiosity to see whether the tender grass of early spring would not be blighted beneath him, and show the wavering track of his footsteps, sere and brown, across its cheerful verdure. She wondered
4、 what sort of herbs they were, which the old man was so sedulous to gather. Would not the earth, quickened to by the sympathy of his eye, greet him with poisonous shrubs, of species hitherto unknown, that would start up under his fingers? Or might it suffice him, that every wholesome growth should b
5、e converted into something deleterious and malignant at his touch? Did the sun, which shone so brightly everywhere else, really fall upon him? Or was there, as it rather seemed, a circle of ominous shadow moving along with his deformity, whichever way he turned himself? And whither was he now going?
6、 Would he not suddenly sink into the earth, leaving a barren and blasted spot, where, in due course of time, would be seen deadly nightshade (颠茄 ), dogwood (山茱萸 ), henbane (天仙子 ), and whatever else of vegetable wickedness the climate could produce, all flourishing with hideous luxuriance? Or would h
7、e spread bats wings and flee away, looking so much the uglier, the higher he rose towards heaven? (2) “Be it sin or no,“ said Hester Prynne bitterly, as she still gazed after him, “I hate the man!“ (3) She upbraided herself for the sentiment, but could not overcome or lessen it. Attempting to do so,
8、 she thought of those long-past days, in a distant land, when he used to emerge at eventide (黄昏 ) from the seclusion of his study, and sit down in the firelight of their home, and in the light of her nuptial smile. He needed to bask himself in that smile, he said, in order that the chill of so many
9、lonely hours among his books might be taken off the scholars heart. Such scenes had once appeared not otherwise than happy, but now, as viewed through the dismal medium of her subsequent life, they classed themselves among her ugliest remembrances. She marvelled how such scenes could have been! She
10、marvelled how she could ever have been wrought upon to marry him! She deemed it her crime most to be repented of, that she had ever endured, and reciprocated, the lukewarm grasp of his hand, and had suffered the smile of her lips and eyes to mingle and melt into his own. And it seemed a fouler offen
11、ce committed by Roger Chillingworth, than any which had since been done him, that, in the time when her heart knew no better, he had persuaded her to fancy herself happy by his side. (4) “Yes, I hate him!“ repeated Hester, more bitterly than before. “He betrayed me! He has done me worse wrong than I
12、 did him!“ (5) Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, as it was Roger Chillingworths, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for t
13、he calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality. But Hester ought long ago to have done with this injustice. What did it betoken? Had seven long years, under the torture of the scarlet letter, inflicted so much of misery, and wrought out no r
14、epentance? (6) The emotions of that brief space, while she stood gazing after the crooked figure of old Roger Chillingworth, threw a dark light on Hesters state of mind, revealing much that she might not otherwise have acknowledged to herself. (7) He being gone, she summoned back her child. (8) “Pea
15、rl! Little Pearl! Where are you?“ (9) Pearl, whose activity of spirit never flagged, had been at no loss for amusement while her mother talked with the old gatherer of herbs. At first, as already told, she had flirted fancifully with her own image in a pool of water, beckoning the phantom forth, and
16、 as it declined to venture seeking a passage for herself into its sphere of impalpable earth and unattainable sky. Soon finding, however, that either she or the image was unreal, she turned elsewhere for better pastime. She made little boats out of birch-bark (桦树皮 ), and freighted them with snail-sh
17、ells, and sent out more ventures on the mighty deep than any merchant in New England; but the larger part of them foundered near the shore. She seized a live horse-shoe (鲎 ) by the tail, and made prize of several five-fingers (海星 ), and laid out a jelly-fish to melt in the warm sun. Then she took up
18、 the white foam, that streaked the line of the advancing tide, and threw it upon the breeze, scampering after it, with winged footsteps, to catch the great snowflakes ere they fell. Perceiving a flock of beach-birds, that fed and fluttered along the shore, the naughty child picked up her apron full
19、of pebbles, and, creeping from rock to rock after these small sea-fowl, displayed remarkable dexterity in pelting them. One little grey bird, with a white breast, Pearl was almost sure, had been hit by a pebble, and fluttered away with a broken wing. But then the elf-child sighed, and gave up her sp
20、ort; because it grieved her to have done harm to a little being that was as wild as the sea-breeze, or as wild as Pearl herself. (10) Her final employment was to gather sea-weed, of various kinds, and make herself a scarf, or mantle, and a head-dress, and thus assume the aspect of a little mermaid.
21、She inherited her mothers gift for devising drapery and costume. As the last touch to her mermaid garb, Pearl took some eel-grass, and imitated, as best she could, on her own bosom, the decoration with which she was so familiar on her mothers. A letter the letter A but freshly green, instead of scar
22、let! The child bent her chin upon her breast, and contemplated this device with strange interest; even as if the one only thing for which she had been sent into the world was to make out its hidden import. 1 According to Para. 1, people are most impressive by Chillingworths_.
