I was in no condition to note particulars.

I was only aware that they had hoisted me up to the height of Mr. Brocklehurst's nose,
我只知道他们把我摆到了跟布罗克赫斯特先生鼻子一般高的地方；知道他离我只有一码远；
that he was within a yard of me, and that a spread of shot orange and purple silk pelisses and a cloud of silvery plumage extended and waved below me.
知道在我下面，一片桔黄色和紫色的闪缎饰皮外衣和浓雾般银色的羽毛在扩展，在飘拂。
Mr. Brocklehurst hemmed.
布罗克赫斯特先生清了清嗓子。
"Ladies," said he, turning to his family, "Miss Temple, teachers, and children, you all see this girl?"
“女士们，”他说着转向他的家人，“坦普尔小姐，教师们和孩子们，你们都看到了这个女孩子了吧？”
Of course they did, for I felt their eyes directed like burning-glasses against my scorched skin.
她们当然是看到了。我觉到她们的眼睛像凸透镜那样对准了我烧灼的皮肤。
You see she is yet young.
你们瞧，她还很小。

You observe she possesses the ordinary form of childhood.

God has graciously given her the shape that He has given to all of us.
上帝仁慈地把赐与我们大家的外形，一样赐给了她。
No signal deformity points her out as a marked character.
没有什么明显的残疾表明她是个特殊人物。
Who would think that the Evil One had already found a servant and agent in her?

Yet such, I grieve to say, is the case.
而我痛心地说，这就是事实。

“我的可爱的孩子们，”这位黑大理石般的牧师悲切地继续说下去，“这是一个悲哀而令人忧伤的场合。”
For it becomes my duty to warn you, that this girl, who might be one of God's own lambs, is a little castaway,
因为我有责任告诫大家，这个本可以成为上帝自己羔羊的女孩子，是个小小的被遗弃者，
not a member of the true flock, but evidently an interloper and an alien.
不属于真正的羊群中的一员，而显然是一个闯入者，一个异己。
You must be on your guard against her. You must shun her example.
你们必须提防她，不要学她样子。
If necessary, avoid her company, exclude her from your sports, and shut her out from your converse.
必要的话避免与她作伴，不要同她一起游戏，不要与她交谈。
Teachers, you must watch her: keep your eyes on her movements, weigh well her words, scrutinise her actions, punish her body to save her soul.
教师们，你们必须看住她，注意她的行踪，掂量她的话语，监视她的行动，惩罚她的肉体以拯救她的灵魂。
If, indeed, such salvation be possible, for (my tongue falters while I tell it) this girl, this child, the native of a Christian land,
如果有可能挽救的话，因为（我实在说不出口），这个姑娘，这个孩子，基督国土上的本地子民，
worse than many a little heathen who says its prayers to Brahma and kneels before Juggernaut - this girl is - a liar!”
比很多向梵天祈祷，向讫里什那神像跪拜的小异教徒还坏，这个女孩子是一个——说谎者！
