chapter 5 David meets old friends again
第5章 大卫重逢老朋友
I decided to go to London first，to stay at a hotel for a few nights，and see all the sights of that great city. I knew it would be very different from the last time I was in London，when I was working at the warehouse. Now I was adult，and educated，and had money.
我决定先到伦敦，在旅馆里住上几天，把那大城市的风光景致游览个遍。我知道这一次与我上次到伦敦仓库工作时的情景会大不一样。如今我已长大成人，受过教育，身上有了钱。
The hotel I chose was called the Golden Cross，and because I looked so young，I was given a very small，dark room in the roof. But I did not feel confident enough to complain.
我选择了一家取名“金十字”的旅馆，由于我看上去很年轻，他们就给我开了一间阁楼上又小又黑的房间。而我当时还没有足够的勇气抱怨。
That evening I was returning from the theatre when I recognized someone going into the hotel. I could notpreventmy selffromsaying at once，"Steerforth! Do you remember me？"
那天晚上，我从戏院回来，见一个熟悉的身影走进旅馆。我禁不住脱口叫道：“斯提福兹！你还认识我吗？”
He stared at me for a moment. Then he cried，"Good heavens! It's little Copperfield!"
他看了我一会儿，然后叫起来，“我的天！是小科波菲尔！”
I was so delighted to see him that I held both his hands，saying，"My dear Steerforth，you have no idea how pleased I am to see you again!"I remembered how much I had admired him，and all my love for him came back. I had to brush away the tears from my eyes.
见到他，我欣喜异常，我紧握住他的双手说：“亲爱的斯提福兹，你不会知道再次见到你我有多高兴！”我记得我是多么地敬重他，我对他的敬慕又一次升华。我的双眼涌满泪花，我只好赶紧擦掉。
