题目内容:
For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he was busy with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and hung out with him. All my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings around the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not make me unhappy, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not so serious. There was a smile on his face, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?”
The answer went out from my tongue(舌头) before I realized it: “No,sir.”
I continued to say,“Ah, you are really unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir, I'm sorry. What I mean is that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that.”
Mr. Rochester said, “ No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize (批评) my appearance, and then you stab(刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. You are very special. ”
He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty one, and have never found the right road again. I was not a bad man, and believe me. It wasn't my character(性格),but circumstances(处境)that were to blame(责备). Hope you can understand me.”
“Don't be afraid of me, Miss Eyre,” he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much , perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night."
