Chapter 14 HESTER AND THE PHYSICIAN
第十四章 海丝特和医生
HESTER badelittle Pearl run down to the margin of the water, and play with the shells and tangledseaweed, until she should have talked awhilewith yonder gatherer of herbs. So the child flew away like a bird, and, making bare her small white feet, went pattering along the moistmargin of the sea. Here and there she came to a full stop, and peeped curiously into a pool, left by the retiring tide as a mirror for Pearl to see her face in. Forth peeped at her, out of the pool, with dark, glistening curls around her head, and an elf-smile in her eyes, the image of a little maid, whom Pearl, having no other playmate, invited to take her hand, and run a race with her. But the visionarylittle maid, on her part, beckoned likewise, as if to say, "This is a better place! Come thou into the pool!" And Pearl, stepping in, mid-leg deep, beheld her own white feet at the bottom; while, out of a still lower depth, came the gleamof a kind of fragmentarysmile, floating to and fro in the agitated water.Meanwhile, her mother had accosted the physician.
海丝特打发小珠儿跑到水边去玩贝壳和缠结的海藻,好让她同那边那采药人谈一会儿话。那孩子便象鸟儿般地飞了开去,她那双赤裸着的白白的小脚丫,一路拍着水在潮湿的海边跑着。她不时停下身来,把退潮留下的水洼当作镜子,好奇地朝里面照着她自己的面孔。水洼里,一个满头长着乌黑闪亮的鬃发、眼中露着小精灵般微笑的小姑娘,在朝她窥视,珠儿由于没有别的玩伴,便伸手邀她同自己进行一场赛跑。但那映象的小鼓娘,也同样和她伸手招呼,仿佛在说:“这地方更好些!你到水洼里来吧!珠儿一脚踏进去,水没到了膝盖,她看见的只是水底的自己的白脚丫;同时,从更深的一层水下,映出了一种支离破碎的微笑,在动荡的水中上下漂浮闪动。与此同时,她母亲已和那医生搭话了。
