泄密的心
爱伦?坡
真的！焦虑，很焦虑，极其焦虑，经久以来，我都超级焦虑；可是为何说我疯了？病痛消弱了我的知觉——木有消除——木有麻痹我的知觉。先说说我的听力。放耳听去，天上人间，冥界繁事，尽收耳内。所以我怎么算是疯子？听仔细了！我可以不紧不慢、心平气和地告诉你整个故事的来龙去脉。
讲不清啥时候第一次冒出这念头；但自从想过后，它就日日夜夜萦绕心头。木啥目的，也木啥贪念。我还挺喜欢那老人。他自从木有烦扰，甚至辱骂过我。我也不念叨他的小金库。我想：是他的眼！对，就是他的眼！他其中一只眼像秃鹰眼一样——苍蓝色。每次他看我，我都全身凉透了；所以，自然而然，我决定灭了他，永远脱离出那阴冷的视线。
此时正是关键。你当我是疯子？疯子可是什么都不知道。你已经明白我做事多么理智，多么谨慎，多么高瞻远瞩——我若无其事地上班！杀他前一星期，我对这老人超殷勤。每晚，午夜，我打开他的卧室门——哎，要多轻柔就多轻柔的说！接着，门缝够容下脑袋时，我就伸进去一盏提灯。灯被裹得紧紧的，黑乎乎的，一丝光都不透的。然后我伸进头。哈哈，你要是真看到我怎么机智地进去的，你肯定会点32个赞的！我慢慢的，很慢很慢，超级缓慢地伸进头，当然吵不醒那熟睡的老人啦。差不多1小时后，我才完全伸进头去，就看到他躺在床上。哈哈——疯子有这智商？后来，我可以方便点动时，就打开提灯。哇塞，我那么谨慎，那么小心，刚好露出一丝光线，正好投射到他那秃鹰眼。
连续七晚，我都干这事——每晚午夜——但是他眼睛一直闭着的；我没办法下手；因为惹火我的不是这个老人，而是他的魔眼。每天早晨，我进屋，亲切地和他交谈，夸奖他，呼唤他，问候他睡得好吗。因此正如你所见，实际上他是纯良之人，毫不怀疑每晚午夜时分我窥视他的睡颜。
第八天晚上，一如既往，我极其小心地开门。动作比手表分针还磨蹭。此前，我从不知道我预见能力这么厉害。胜利在望，我又害怕又激动。心有所思地一点点推开门。他做梦都想不到我的心思我的行为。一想到这，我咯咯地笑了。莫非他听到了？他好像惊醒，突然动了。你可能猜我现在会退缩——错。他房间那么黑，暗黑得不得了，（他害怕匪徒所以紧绷着身子颤抖。）因此我知道他看不见门在打开。我依旧偷偷摸摸地推开门。我伸进头，要开提灯，手指刚滑过灯线，老人在床上跳起大吼“谁在那？”
我一动不动，始终沉默。一个小时过去了，我一丝肌肉也不曾松懈。这时我听到他躺下的声音。他也躺在床上听着——如同我夜夜做的那样，听到死神注视着墙面。马上我就听到极低的呜声，我晓得这是神经恐惧才有的声音。这不是因为疼痛或忧伤而产生——绝不是！这是过度惊悚时，从心灵深处升起的阴郁的颤抖的声音。我深知这声音。每每深夜，万物皆眠，唯我梦醒子时，内心深处、灵魂深渊中就发出这种声音，回声阵阵，让我恐惧到崩溃。我说了我了解这种声音。我知道老人想啥子。虽然我心里窃笑但我仍可怜他。我知道从第一次轻微声音使他在床上转身时，他就一直清醒着。他越来越害怕。他尝试去忽视，但这不可能做到。他不停地自语——“什么事都没有，只是烟囱里的风——只是老鼠穿过地板”或“只是蟋蟀的声音”。是的，他一直这么安慰他自己：但是白费力气。毫无作用；因为死神来了，都站在他面前和他的影子谈判，签约受害者了。老人感觉得到阴郁地黑影——虽然看不见听不到——却真切感知我存在在房间里。
我耐心地呆了很久，还没听到他躺下的声音。我打开了提灯，仅露出一丝缝隙。我开灯了——你想不到我有多偷偷摸摸地开灯——终于，从蜘蛛丝般细的狭缝里射出一线光，落进那秃鹰般的眼眸中。
睁着眼睛的——挣得大大的——看到这些我变得激动。我清楚明白地看到它——苍蓝的眸，似蒙了昏沉的纱，让我感到彻骨寒气；但我看不到老人的脸或身体：因为我顺着光线直接精准锁定目标。
跟你说了没？有这么敏锐的感官会是疯子？——此刻，我听到一种声音，沉闷，模糊，像是钟表在棉花里发出的声音。我也熟悉这种声音。这是老人的心跳声。我更为兴奋，好像受到鼓声激励的士兵。但是我依然克制自己，保持沉默，呼吸都有些胆怯。我恍惚地提着灯，小心地保持光线照在那眼上。同时，那该死的心脏跳得更欢了。速度越来越快，声音越来越大。他一定怕极了！声音越来越大，分分钟变大！——你懂我意思吗？我说过我焦虑：我现在就焦虑着。今晚，挺尸的时，房内死一般的沉寂，多么搞怪，我惊讶有这声响竟让我产生难以抑制的恐慌。目前为止，我仍极度克制，数分钟一动不动。此时，我异常焦虑——邻居会听到声音的！动手时候到了！大吼一声，扔掉还亮着的提灯，我冲进房间。老人惊叫一声——仅一声。我一下把他抓到地上，掀倒厚重的床板压住他。然后我会心地笑了。可是，过了很久，他心脏还跳着，发出那种沉闷的声音。不过这回我没发火；隔墙听不到这声音。终于声音消失了，老人死了。我移开床，检查尸身。的确，他死得硬硬的。我手在他心脏那很久，没有感觉到脉搏。他最终死了。他的眼再也不会烦我了。
还当我疯了么？听完我多么聪明细心地藏尸后，你就不会这么想了。夜深，我安静地忙碌着。首先，肢解尸体，砍下头、胳膊和腿。接着拿起卧室地板上的三个木板，把尸块放入方格。然后重新放好木板。我如此聪慧如此机敏。没人，就算是老人的眼——也察觉不到异常。没啥要清洗的——没任何污渍——没血斑，啥子也没有。我超级谨慎地处理了。都用澡盆清洗过了——哈哈！
都处理完，到四点了——天依然漆黑如午夜。钟声响起，街上传来阵阵敲门声。我淡定地下楼开门——我还有啥怕头？进来三个人，他们和善地介绍自己是警署人员。那晚邻居听到那声尖叫了；已经怀疑涉嫌谋杀；他们在警局登记了信息，已经开始着手调查。
我笑了——我还怕什么？我欢迎他们进屋。我说，我做梦时尖叫了。还说，老人去乡下了没在这。我让调查人员在屋子里全部查看下。我请求他们好好查查——查仔细了。我带他们去他的卧室。我给他们看他的财宝，一分不少，稳稳当当地放着呢。我相信自己，所以我热情地搬了椅子进那间屋，招呼他们坐，缓缓疲乏。而我自己，肆无忌惮，坐在存放遇害者尸体的位置上的那把椅子上。警察们很满意。我的举止取信了他们。我非常放松。他们说话，我也开心地回应着。他们聊着类似的事情。不过，一会儿，我觉得不舒服了，我想他们先离开。我头疼，幻听到铃声：但他们还坐那儿聊天。铃声清晰了，越来越清晰。我说得更加流畅，不顾自己的感受。可是声音还在，更清晰，更悠长，原来不是在耳朵里响的。
毫无疑问，我现在很虚弱——但是我说得更流利，声音高昂。声音越来越大——我能怎么办？有低沉的模糊的频率很快的声音——像棉花里的钟表声。我呼吸不顺——警察还没听到吧。我说得更快速——更激动；可是杂声自动变大了。我提高嗓门，嘲讽争辩，声音高昂，举止粗鲁；但是那声音还在增大。他们为什么还不离开？我大步走来走去，好像被人们看着而激动起来——但是他们干吗还不滚？我要怎么办？我吐口水——胡言乱语——发誓！那些人正愉快地谈笑。他们可能听不到？万能的神呐！——不，不可能！——他们怀疑啦！——他们嘲笑我的恐惧！——我止不住地这么想。但是没什么比这痛苦更糟糕了！没什么比嘲笑更不能容忍的了！我受不了这些虚伪的笑容了！我感觉我要么咆哮要么去死！——此刻——又来了！——听！吵！很吵！更吵了！越来越吵！
“够啦”我吼叫“别装了！我承认我干的！掀开地板——这儿，就这儿——就他的心跳声在吵。”

长篇小说《飘》是美国女作家玛格丽特·米切尔的代表作,这部小说在当时风靡了整个美国,后来被世界的读者所熟知。下面是我带来的英语经典段落加翻译，欢迎阅读!
英语经典段落加翻译精选
那是一个很暖的春天夜晚，在萨凡纳的一家酒店，邻座的一位生客的偶尔谈话引起灰拉尔德的侧耳细听。那位生客是萨凡纳本地人，在内地居住了十二年之后刚刚回来。他是从一位圣·在州里举办的抽彩分配土地时的一个获奖者。原来杰拉尔德来到美洲前一年，印第安人放弃了佐治亚中部广大的一起土地，佐治亚州当局便以这种方式进行分配。他迁徙到了那里，并建立了一个农场，但是现在他的房子因羡悉埋失火被烧掉了，他对那个可诅咒的"地方"，已感到厌烦，因此很乐意将它脱手。
Gerald, his mind never free of the thought of owning a plantation of his own, arranged anintroction, and his interest grew as the stranger told how the northern section of the statewas filling up with newcomers from the Carolinas and Virginia. Gerald had lived in Savannah longenough to acquire a viewpoint of the Coast—that all of the rest of the state wasbackwoods, with an Indian lurking in every thicket.
杰拉尔德心里一直没有放弃那个念头，想拥有一个自己的农场，于是经过介绍，他同那个陌生人谈起来，而当对方告诉他，那个州的北部已经从卡罗来纳的弗吉尼亚陆埋涌进了大批大批的新人时，他的兴趣就更大了。杰拉尔德在萨凡纳已住了很久，了解了海滨人的观点，即认为这个州的其余部分都是嬷嬷的森林地带，每个灌木丛中都潜伏着印第安人。

As the night wore on and the drinks went round, there came a time when all the others in the game laid down their hands and Gerald and the stranger were battling alone. The strangershoved in all his chips and followed with the deed to his plantation. Gerald shoved in all his chips and laid on top of them his wallet.
夜渐渐深了，酒斟了兄蚂一巡又一巡，这时其他几个牌友都歇手了，只剩下杰拉尔德和陌生人在继续对赌。陌生人把所有的筹码全部押上，外加那个农场的文契。杰拉尔德也推出他的那堆筹码，并把钱装放在上面。
If the money it contained happened to belong to the firm of O’Hara Brothers, Gerald’sconscience was not sufficiently troubled to confess it before Mass the following morning. He knew what he wanted, and when Gerald wanted something he gained it by taking the most direct route. Moreover, such was his faith in his destiny and four deuces that he never for a moment wondered just how the money would be paid back should a higher hand be laid down across the table.
如果钱袋里装的恰好是"奥哈拉兄弟公司"的款子，杰拉尔德第二天早晨作弥撒时也不会觉得良心不安而表示忏悔了。他懂得自己所要的是什么，而当他需要时便断然采取最直截了当的手段来攫取它。况且，他是那样相信自己的命运和手中的那几张牌，所以从来就不考虑：要是桌子对面放在是一手更高的牌呢，那他将怎样偿还这笔钱呀?

“It’s no bargain you’re getting and I am glad not to have to pay more taxes on the place,”sighed the possessor of an “ace full,” as he called for pen and ink. “The big house burned a year ago and the fields are growing up in brush and seedling pine. But it’s yours.”
“你这不是靠买卖赚来的，而我呢，也乐得不用再给那地方纳税了，"陌生人叹了口气说，一面叫拿笔墨来。"那所大房子是一年前烧掉的，田地呢，已长满了灌木林和小松树。然而，这些都是你的了。”
“Never mix cards and whisky unless you were weaned on Irish poteen,” Gerald told Porkgravely the same evening, as Pork assisted him to bed. And the valet, who had begun toattempt a brogue out of admiration for his new master, made requisite answer in acombination of Geechee and County Meath that would have puzzled anyone except thosetwo alone.
“千万不要把玩牌和威士忌混为一谈，除非你早就戒酒了，"当天晚上波克服侍杰拉尔德上床睡觉时，杰拉尔德严肃地对他这样说，这位管家由于崇拜主人正开始在学习一种土腔，便用一种基希和米思郡的混合腔调作了必要的回答，当然这种腔调只有他们两个人理解，别人听来是莫名其妙的。
The muddy Flint River, running silently between walls of pine and water oak covered withtangled vines, wrapped about Gerald’s new land like a curving arm and embraced it on twosides.
浑浊的弗林特河在一排排松树和爬满藤萝的水橡树中间悄悄地流着，像一条弯屈的胳臂走过杰拉尔德的那片新地，从两侧环抱着它。
To Gerald, standing on the small knoll where the house had been, this tall barrier of green wasas visible and pleasing an evidence of ownership as though it were a fence that he himselfhad built to mark his own.
杰拉尔德站在那个原来有的房子的小小圆丘上，对他来说，这道高高的绿色屏障既是他的所有权的一个看得见的可喜的证明，又好像是他亲手建造用来作为私有标志的一道篱笆。
