THE THREE WOMEN
三女性
A Saturday afternoon in November was approaching the time of twilight, and the vast tract of unenclosed wild known as Egdon Heath embrowned itself moment by moment.Overhead the hollow stretch of whitish cloud shutting out the sky was as a tent which had the whole heath for its floor.
十一月里一个星期六的后半天，越来越靠近暮色昏黄的时候了；那一大片没有垣篱界断的荒山旷野，提起来都叫它是爱敦荒原的，也一阵比一阵凄迷苍茫。抬头看来，弥漫长空的灰白浮云，遮断了青天，好像一座帐篷，把整个荒原当作了地席。
The he@ven being spread with this pallid screen and the earth with the darkest vegetation, their meeting-line at the horizon was clearly marked. In such contras the heath wore the appearance of an installment of night which had taken up its place before its astronomical hourwas come: darkness had to a great extent arrived hereon, while day stood distinct in the sky.
天上张的既是这样灰白的帐幕，地上铺的又是一种最幽暗的灌莽，所以天边远处，天地交接的界线，分得清清楚楚。在这样的对衬之下，那片荒原看起来，就好像是夜的前驱，还没到正式入夜的时候，就走上夜的岗位了；因为大地上夜色已经很浓了，长空里却分明还是白昼。
Looking upwards, a furze-cutter would h@ve been inclined to continue work; looking down, he would h@ve decided to finish his faggot and go home. The distant rims of the world and of the firmament seemed to be a division in time no less than a division in matter.
一个斫常青棘的樵夫，如果往天上看去，就还想继续工作，如果往地下看来，却又要决定束好柴捆，回家去了。那时候，天边远处，大地的轮廓和长空的轮廓，不但是物质的分界，并且是时间的分界。
The face of the heath by its mere complexion added half an hour to evening; it could in like manner retard the dawn, sadden noon, anticipate the frowning of storms scarcely generated, and intensify the opacity of a moonless midnight to a cause of shaking and dread.
荒原的表面，仅仅由于颜色这一端，就给暮夜增加了半点钟。它在同样的情况下，使曙色来得迟缓，使正午变得凄冷；狂风暴雨几乎还没踪影，它就变颜作色，预先显出一副阴沉面目；三更半夜，没有月光，它更加深咫尺难辨的昏暗，因而使人害怕发抖。
In fact, precisely at this transitional point of its nightly roll into darkness the great and particular glory of the Egdon waste began, and nobody could be said to understand the heath who had not been there at such a time. It could best be felt when it could not clearly be seen, its complete effect and explanation lying in this and the succeeding hours before the next dawn; then, and only then, did it tell its true tale. The spot was, indeed, a near
relation of night, and when night showed itself an apparent tendency to gr@vitate together could be perceived in its shades and the scene.
事实上，爱敦荒原伟大而奇特的壮观，恰恰在它每晚由明入暗的过渡点上开始，凡是没有当着那种时节在那儿待过的人，就不能说他领会这片旷野。正是它在人们眼里看着朦胧迷离，它才在人们心里显得恰到好处，因为它的全部力量和意义，就附丽在从夜色将临的现在到曙光欲来的次展那几点钟里面；那时候，只有那时候，它才显露真面目。这块地方实在和夜是近亲属；只要夜一露面，就显然能看出来，在夜色的晦冥里和荒原的景物上，有一种互相凑合的趋势。
