The sombre stretch of rounds and hollows seemed to rise and meet the evening gloom
in pure sympathy, the heath exhaling darkness as rapidly as the heavens precipitated it. And so the obscurity in the air and the obscurity in the land closed together in a black fraternization towards which each advanced halfway.
那一大片阴森连绵的圆阜和空谷，好像以十二分的同情，起身迎接昏沉的暮色似的；因为荒原把黑暗一口呵出，天空就把黑暗一气泻下，两种动作同样迅速。这样一来，大气里的昏瞑和大地上的昏瞑，各走半程，中途相迎，仿佛同枝连理，结成一气氤氲。
The place became full of a watchful intentness now; for when other things sank blooding to sleep the heath appeared slowly to awake and listen. Every night its Titanic form seemed to await something; but it had waited thus, unmoved, during so many centuries, through the crises of so many things, that it could only be imagined to await one last crisis--the final overthrow.
现在这个地方，全部都显出专心一志、聚精会神的样子来了；因为别的东西，都两眼朦胧，昏昏入睡，这片荒原，才好像慢慢醒来，悄悄静听。它那泰坦一般的形体，每天夜里，老仿佛在那儿等候什么东西似的。不过它那样一动不动地等候，过了那么些世纪了，经历了那么些事物的危机了，而它仍旧在那儿等候，所以我们只能设想，它是在那儿等候最末一次的危机，等候天翻地覆的末日。
It was a spot which returned upon the memory of those who loved it with an aspect of peculiar and kindly congruity. Smiling champaigns of flowers and fruit hardly do this, for they are permanently harmonious only with an existence of better reputation as to its issues than the present. Twilight combined with the scenery of Egdon Heath to evolve a thing majestic without severity, impressive without showiness, emphatic in its admonitions, grand in its simplicity. The qualifications which frequently invest the facade of a prison with far more dignity than is found in the facade of a palace double its size lent to this heath a sublimity in which spots renowned
for beauty of the accepted kind are utterly wanting.
原来它这个地方，能让爱它的人回忆起来，觉得它有一种不同寻常、与人无忤的温蔼面目。花艳果蕃的平川广野，笑靥向人，很难作到这样的一步，因为那种广野，只有遇到一种人生，在结局方面，不像现代这种这样惨淡，才能永远两相协调。苍茫的暮色和爱敦的景物，共同联合起来，演变出一种风光，威仪俨然而不峻厉，感人深远而不炫耀，于警戒中尽其郑重，于淳朴中见其宏伟。我们都知道，牢狱的壁垒上面，往往有一种气象，能使它比起大于自己两倍的宫殿来，都森严得多；
Fair prospects wed happily with fair times; but alas, if times be not fair! Men have oftener suffered from, the mockery of a place too smiling for their reason than from the oppression of surroundings over sadly tinged. Haggard Egdon appealed to a subtler and scarcer instinct, to a more recently learnt emotion, than that which responds to the sort of beauty called charming and fair. Indeed, it is a question if the exclusive reign of this orthodox beauty is not approaching its last quarter. The new Vale of Tempe may be a gaunt waste in Thule; human souls may find themselves in closer and closer harmony with external things wearing a somberness distasteful to our race when it was young.
现在就是这种气象，给了荒原一种高超卓越，为世俗盛称美丽的地方所完全缺乏。明媚的景物和明媚的时光，自然能够圆满配合；但是，唉！倘若时光并不明媚，那怎么办呢？我们所以苦恼愁烦，多半是因为眼前的景物过于妍丽，情怀难胜，感得受到嘲弄，很少是因为四围的境地过于萧瑟，必绪不畅，感得受到压抑。苍凉憔悴的爱敦荒原所打动的，是更细腻更稀少的本能，是更晚近才懂得的情绪，不是只遇到柔媚艳丽之美才起感应的那一种。
