The young man walked up and down me room.'I suppose that's true,'he said unhappily.'But Harry,I don't think that I'm cruel.Do you?'
年轻人在房间里来回走动。“也许你说的是真的,”他不高兴地说,“但是哈里,我不认为我很残酷,你呢?”
Lord Henry smiled.He told Dorian Gray what he wanted to hear.And then he told him clever,amusing stories about the women that he himself had loved.He said that Sybil Vane's death was a beautiful end to a love story for an actress.'The girl never really lived,'he continued,'so she never really died.Don't cry for Sybil Vane.She was less real than Juliet.'
亨利勋爵一笑,他讲了些多里安·格雷爱听的话,然后又讲了他爱过的女人的聪明逗人的故事。他说西比尔·文的死是一名女演员爱情故事的美丽结局。他继续说:“这个姑娘从未真正生活过,因此她也从没真正地死。不要为西比尔·文哭泣,和朱丽叶比,她更不真实。”
After a while Dorian Gray looked up.'You have explained me to myself,Harry,'he said slowly.'How well you know me!But we won't talk of this again.It's been a wonderful lesson for me.That's all.'
过了一会儿多里安·格雷抬起头。“你说服了我,哈里。”他缓慢地说,“你太了解我了!我们别再谈这事了,这是我的一个极好的教训,到此为止吧。”
When Lord Henry had left,Dorian uncovered the picture again.He had to choose between a good life and a bad life,he thought.But then he realized that,in fact,he had already chosen.He would stay young for ever,and enjoy every wild pleasure that life could give him.The face in the picture would grow old and ugly and unkind,but he would stay beautiful for ever.He covered the picture again,and smiled.
亨利勋爵走后,多里安又掀开了画像。他想他必须选择过正人君子的生活还是过不道德的生活。但他意识到他实际上已经做出了选择。他将永远年轻,享受生活给予的每一份疯狂的快乐。画像中的脸将变老、变丑、变凶,但是他将永远漂亮。他又盖上画像,露出了笑容。
An hour later he was at Lord Henry's house,and Lord Henry was smiling at his side.
一小时后他来到了亨利勋爵家,亨利勋爵在他旁边微笑着。
