作者简介：

艾米莉·勃朗特（1818-1848），19世纪英国小说家、诗人，英国文学史上著名的“勃朗特三姐妹”之一。这位女作家在世界上仅仅度过了三十年便默默 无闻地离开了人间，然而她唯一的一部小说《呼啸山庄》却奠定了她在英国文学史以及世界文学史上的地位。此外，她还创作了193首诗，被认为是英国一位天才 型的女作家。

她生性独立、豁达、纯真、刚毅、热情而又内向，颇有男儿气概，酷爱自己生长其间的荒原，平素在离群索居中，除去手足情谊，最喜与大自然为友，从她的诗和一 生行为，都可见她天人合一宇宙观与人生观的表现，有人因此而将她视为神秘主义者。其实人与自然的关系，从来就是人类文明史上重要的命题，艾米莉不过是步历 代哲人、隐者、科学家、艺术家后尘，通过生活和创作，身体力行地探寻人与自然的关系。

Chapter Five. Part 12

'There will more come of this business than you reckon on,' I answered, covering him up and extinguishing the light. 'You are incurable, Heathcliff; and Mr. Hindley will have to proceed to extremities, see if he won't.' My words came truer than I desired. The luckless adventure made Earnshaw furious. And then Mr. Linton, to mend matters, paid us a visit himself on the morrow, and read the young master such a lecture on the road he guided his family, that he was stirred to look about him, in earnest. Heathcliff received no flogging, but he was told that the first word he spoke to Miss Catherine should ensure a dismissal; and Mrs. Earnshaw undertook to keep her sister-in-law in due restraint when she returned home; employing art, not force: with force she would have found it impossible.

【译文】

“这件事不会如你所想的结束的。”我回答道，“你没治了，希斯克利夫。欣德利先生会用极刑的，走着瞧吧！”我的话应验得比我想象的还要厉害。那个不幸的孩 子让恩肖先生发了狂。为了解释这件事情，林顿先生在次日亲自到我们山庄来了，给年轻的主人讲了他是如何领导他的家庭的，非常的真挚。希斯克利夫没有被鞭 打，但是他被警告，如果他胆敢和凯瑟琳说一个字的话，他就会被解雇。她回来之后，恩肖太太对她的小姑子采取了适当的控制，艺术的，不是强制的，如果采取强 制手段的话，她会发现完全没有用的。
