Wuthering Heights
呼啸山庄
Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's dwelling. 'Wuthering'
being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the
atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather. Pure, bracing
ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed: one may
guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge, by the
excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a
range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if
craving alms of the sun. Happily, the architect had foresight to build it strong: the narrow
windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners
defended with large jutting stones.
呼啸山庄是希斯克利夫先生住处的名字。“呼啸是一个寓意很深的地方性形容词,用来描述暴风雨天气中的狂风大作的声音。诚然,狂风肯定经常驻足再这里,通过房子一侧的那些过于倾斜的矮小的冷杉,还有那一排憔悴的荆棘,它们的分支的伸向一侧,仿佛在渴求阳光,我们就可以猜想一下北风刮过房檐的力量。所幸的是,建筑师很有远见的将房子建的很坚固:窄窄的玻璃嵌在墙里,墙角都是额外用大石头加固过的。
