开篇
STORY OF THE DOOR
门的故事
Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile;
律师厄特森先生是一个面容粗犷的人，脸上从来没有被笑容照亮过；
cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable.
谈吐冷淡、简短而又拘谨；感情上迟钝；瘦削、高个子、枯燥、沉闷，然而不知怎么却又很可爱。
At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye;
在朋友聚会的时候，当酒合他口味时，某种极富人情味的东西会从他的眼睛里闪现出来；
something indeed which never found its way into his talk,
这种东西确实从来没有进入他的言谈之中，
but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face,
但它不仅通过饭后脸上这些无声的标志表达出来，
but more often and loudly in the acts of his life.
更常常、更响亮地表现在他生活中的行为里。
He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages;
他对自己很严格；独自一人时喝杜松子酒，以抑制自己对陈年佳酿的嗜好；
and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years.
而且虽然他喜欢看戏，却已经有二十年没有跨进过剧院的大门了。
But he had an approved tolerance for others;
但他对别人有一种公认的宽容；
sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds;
有时他会惊奇地、几乎带着羡慕地看着他们在干坏事时所表现出的那种高涨的精神；
and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
而在任何紧要关头，他都倾向于帮助而不是责备。
“I incline to Cain’s heresy,” he used to say quaintly:
“我倾向于该隐的异端邪说，”他常常古怪地说，
“I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.”
“我让我的兄弟按他自己的方式走向魔鬼。”
In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of downgoing men.
凭着这种性格，他常常有幸成为那些走下坡路的人生活中最后一个体面的熟人和最后一个好的影响。
And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers,
而对于这样的人，只要他们来到他的事务所，
he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
他从来不曾在态度上流露出一丝变化。
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best,
毫无疑问，这一点对厄特森先生来说很容易做到；因为他即使在最好的时候也不轻易流露感情，
and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature.
甚至他的友谊似乎也建立在一种类似的包容一切的好脾气之上。
It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity;
一个谦逊的人的标志，就是接受机缘之手现成交给他的朋友圈子；
