The struggle was so fearful; her own heart was so strongly on the side of his - two ardent hearts against one poor little conscience - that she tried to fortify her resolution by every means in her power. She had come to Talbothays with a made-up mind. On no account could she agree to a step which might afterwards cause bitter rueing to her husband for his blindness in wedding her. And she held that what her conscience had decided for her when her mind was unbiased ought not to be overruled now.
她内心的这种斗争非常可怕；她自己那颗心系在克莱尔的身上，非常强烈——两颗热烈的心一起反抗一点儿可怜的良知——她尽其所能地使用了一切方法，使自己的决心得到坚定。她是下定了决心到泰波塞斯来的。她决不能同意迈出这一步，免得以后导致丈夫后悔，说是瞎了眼睛才娶了她。她坚持认为，她在心智健全时候作出的决定，现在不应该把它推翻。

'Why don't somebody tell him all about me?' she said. 'It was only forty miles off - why hasn't it reached here? Somebody must know!'
“为什么没有人把我所有的事都告诉他呢？”她说。“那儿离这儿只不过四十英里——为什么还没有传到这儿来呢？肯定有人知道的！”

Yet nobody seemed to know; nobody told him.
可是又似乎没有人知道；还没有人告诉他。

For two or three days no more was said. She guessed from the sad countenances of her chamber companions that they regarded her not only as the favourite, but as the chosen; but they could see for themselves that she did not put herself in his way.
有两三天的时间，她什么话也没有说。但是她从同宿舍女伴伤心的脸色上猜测出来，她们不仅把她看成他喜欢的人，而且也把她看成被他选中的人；但是她们自己也看得出来，她在回避他。

Tess had never before known a time in which the thread of her life was so distinctly twisted of two strands, positive pleasure and positive pain. At the next cheese-making the pair were again left alone together. The dairyman himself had been lending a hand; but Mr Crick, as well as his wife, seemed latterly to have acquired a suspicion of mutual interest between these two; though they walked so circumspectly that suspicion was but of the faintest. Anyhow, the dairyman left them to themselves.
苔丝从来都不曾知道，她的生命线明显是由两股线拧在一起的，一股是绝对的快乐，一股是绝对的痛苦。第二次作奶酪的时候，他们两个人又一起被单独地留在那儿了。奶牛场老板过来帮忙；但是克里克先生，还有克里克太太，近来开始怀疑在这两个人中间出现的相互之间的兴趣；不过他们的恋爱进行得非常小心，所以那种怀疑也是非常模糊的。不论是真是假，那天老板还是躲开了。
