《泄密的心》By Edgar Allan Poe, 1843

True!---nervous---very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses---not destroyed---not dulled the. Abover all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Heakern! and observe how healthily --- how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

 

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture---a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees---very gradually---I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.

    vulture:秃|鹰,秃鹫

    with a film over it:film在这里可能指薄|膜,但薄|膜可以用a来形容吗?又或者这里的『a』指的是『一层薄|膜』的意思?是个疑问

    Heakern:何解?是名|字吗?又或者是某种语气词?

      (a) H打头的是不是hear的变体,因为“听觉灵敏”,具体的用法不是很清楚。大概是Hearken这样? (b) 上次看到某老师讲film,此处就是“一层薄膜”的意思,即浅蓝色的鹰眼蒙着层薄膜。【主人公害怕.jpg】
