He looked now more careworn and emaciated than as we described him at the scene of hester s public ignominy ; and whether it were his failing health , or whatever the cause might be , his large dark eyes had a world of pain in their troubled and melancholy depth 他此时的样子，比起上次海丝特示众时我们所描绘的，还要疲惫和憔悴不管是由于他那每况愈下的健康状况，抑或其它什么原因，他那双又大又黑的眼睛的深处，在烦恼和忧郁之中还有一个痛苦的天地。
Upon this they appear d very thankful , and i accordingly set them at liberty , and bad them retire into the woods to the place whence they came , and i would leave them some fire arms , some ammunition , and some directions how they should live very well , if they thought fit 我对船长说，我还得作些准备，所以还得在岛上耽搁一个晚上。我吩咐他先回船上，把一切安排好，第二天再放小船到岸上来接我。我特别下令，让他把那打死的新船长吊在桅杆顶上示众。

Hang d them in chains for a terror to others ; it is impossible to imagine almost , that this should have such an effect , as it had ; for the fowls wou d not only not come at the corn , but in short they forsook all that part of the island , and i could never see a bird near the place as long as my scare - crows hung there 真想不到，这个办法居然十分灵光。从此以后，那些飞禽不仅不敢再到庄稼地来，甚至连岛上的这一边也不敢飞来了。在那些示众的死鸟挂在那儿期间，附近连一只鸟都看不见。
