Hester looked at him with the thrill of another joy.
海絲特望著他，心頭又是一陣喜悅的震顫。

"Thou must know Pearl!" said she. "Our little Pearl! Thou hast seen her- yes, I know it!- but thou wilt see her now with other eyes. She is a strange child! I hardly comprehend her! But thou wilt love her dearly, as I do, and wilt advise me how to deal with her."
“你應(yīng)該認(rèn)識(shí)一下珠兒！”她說(shuō)?！拔覀兊男≈閮?！你已經(jīng)見過(guò)她了，——是啊，我知道的！——但現(xiàn)在你要用另一副目光來(lái)見她。她是一個(gè)怪孩子！我簡(jiǎn)直不理解她！但你會(huì)象我一樣親親熱熱地愛(ài)她，還要給我出出主意怎么對(duì)付她?！?/div>

"Dost thou think the child will be glad to know me?" asked the minister, somewhat uneasily. "I have long shrunk from children, because they often show a distrust- a backwardness to be familiar with me. I have even been afraid of little Pearl!"
“你看孩子會(huì)高興認(rèn)識(shí)我嗎？”牧師有點(diǎn)不安地問(wèn)。“我躲著小孩子已有好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了，因?yàn)樗麄兂３?duì)我表示不信任——一種回避和我親近的態(tài)度。我甚至一直害怕小珠兒！”

"Ah, that was sad!" answered the mother. "But she will love thee dearly, and thou her. She is not far off. I will call her! Pearl! Pearl!"
“唉，那可太讓人難過(guò)了！”做母親的回答說(shuō)?！暗撬龝?huì)親親熱熱地愛(ài)你的，你也會(huì)一樣愛(ài)她的。她就在不遠(yuǎn)的地方。我來(lái)叫叫她！珠兒！珠兒！”

"I see the child," observed the minister. "Yonder she is, standing in a streak of sunshine, a good way off, on the other side of the brook, So thou thinkest the child will love me?"
“我看見孩子了，”牧師說(shuō)?！八驮谀沁?，站在一道陽(yáng)光下，離這兒還有一段路，在小溪的對(duì)岸。你是說(shuō)這孩子會(huì)愛(ài)我？”

Hester smiled, and again called to Pearl, who was visible, at some distance, as the minister had described her, like a bright-apparelled vision, in a sunbeam, which fell down upon her through an arch of boughs. The ray quivered to and fro, making her figure dim or distinct- now like a real child, now like a child's spirit- as the splendour went and came again. She heard her mother's voice, and approached slowly through the forest.
海絲特莞爾一笑，又叫了一聲珠兒，這時(shí)可以看見她了，就在一段距離之外，正如牧師所說(shuō)，她站在透過(guò)樹彎照到她身上的一道陽(yáng)光之中，象是個(gè)被了一層燦爛衣裝的幻影。那陽(yáng)光來(lái)回抖動(dòng)，使得她的身影忽明忽暗——一會(huì)兒象是個(gè)活生生的孩子，一會(huì)兒又象是孩子的精靈——隨著陽(yáng)光去面復(fù)返。她聽到了她母親的呼喚，慢慢穿過(guò)樹林走了過(guò)來(lái)。
