This condition of mind, wherein she felt glorified by an irradiation not her own, like the angel whom St John saw in the sun, lasted till the sound of the church bells had died away, and the emotions of the wedding-service had calmed down. Her eyes could dwell upon details more clearly now, and Mr and Mrs Crick having directed their own gig to be sent for them, to leave the carriage to the young couple, she observed the build and character of that conveyance for the first time. Sitting in silence she regarded it long.
她在这种心境里感到荣耀,好像圣约翰看见太阳中的天使一样,这是因为她受到外来光辉的照耀,等到教堂的钟声慢慢地消失了,婚礼引起的激动感情才平静下来。这时候,她的眼睛已经能够清楚地看出细节来,克里克先生和克里克太太吩咐把那辆小马车赶来自己乘坐,而把那辆大马车留给这一对新人,此时她才第一次看见这辆马车的结构和特点。她一声不响地坐在那儿,把那辆马车打量了好久。

'I fancy you seem oppressed, Tessy,' said Clare.
“你好像心情有些不大好,苔丝,”克莱尔说。

'Yes,' she answered, putting her hand to her brow. 'I tremble at many things. It is all so serious, Angel. Among other things I seem to have seen this carriage before, to be very well acquainted with it. It is very odd - I must have seen it in a dream.'
“是的,”她回答说,一边用她的手去摸额头。“有许多东西我一见到就心惊胆战。一切都是这样地严肃,安琪尔。在那些东西里,我似乎从前见过这辆大马车,也非常熟悉这辆大马车。真是奇怪,一定是我在睡梦中见过它。”

'Oh - you have heard the legend of the d'Urberville Coach - that well-known superstition of this county about your family when they were very popular here; and this lumbering old thing reminds you of it.'
“啊——你一定听到过德贝维尔家马车的传说——你们家族正兴旺的时候,出了一件迷信的事情,在这个郡人人都知道;这辆笨重的马车使你想起了这个传说。”

'I have never heard of it to my knowledge,' said she. 'What is the legend - may I know it?'
“就我所知,我从来没有听说过,”苔丝说。“是什么传说?可以告诉我吗?”

'Well - I would rather not tell it in detail just now. A certain d'Urberville of the sixteenth or seventeenth century committed a dreadful crime in his family coach; and since that time members of the family see or hear the old coach whenever - But I'll tell you another day - it is rather gloomy. Evidently some dim knowledge of it has been brought back to your mind by the sight of this venerable caravan.'
“啊——现在最好还是不要仔细地告诉你。在十六世纪或者十七世纪,有一户姓德贝维尔的在自家的马车里犯了一桩可怕的罪行;自此以后,你们家族的人就总是看见或听见那辆旧马车了——不过等以后我再讲给你听——这故事很有些阴森。很明显,你看见了这辆笨重的马车,心里头就又想起了你听说过的模模糊糊的故事。”

'I don't remember hearing it before,' she murmured. 'Is it when we are going to die, Angel, that members of my family see it, or is it when we have committed a crime?'
“我不记得我以前听说过这个故事,”她嘟哝着说。“安琪尔,你是说我们家族的人在快死的时候看见马车出现呢,还是在他们犯罪的时候看见马车出现呢?”

'Now, Tess!'
“别说啦,苔丝!”

He silenced her by a kiss.
他吻了她一下,不让她说下去。

By the time they reached home she was contrite and spiritless. She was Mrs Angel Clare, indeed, but had she any moral right to the name? Was she not more truly Mrs Alexander d'Urberville? Could intensity of love justify what might be considered in upright souls as culpable reticence? She knew not what was expected of women in such cases; and she had no counsellor.
他们到家的时候,她心里懊悔不已,人也变得没精打采。她的确变成了安琪尔·克莱尔夫人了,但是她有任何道德上的权利获得这种名义吗?更确切地说,她难道不是亚里山大·德贝维尔夫人吗?由于她保持沉默,在正直的人看来就应该受到责备,难道强烈的爱情就能够免去对她的责备吗?她不知道别的妇女在这种情形下是怎样做的;也没有人帮她拿主意。
