就在上述那场面发生之后不久的一天正午,丁梅斯代尔牧师先生毫不知觉地陷入了沉睡之中,他坐在椅子上,前面的桌上摊开一大本黑皮的书卷。那准是一部催眠派文献中卓有功效的作品。象牧师这样的深沉酣睡,尤其值得注意,因为他属于那种通常睡眠极轻、时断时续,如同在嫩枝上雀跃的小鸟般极易受惊的人。无论如何,他这种非同寻常的酣睡,已经让他的精神完全收缩到自己的天地,以致当老罗杰·齐灵渥斯并没有特别蹑手蹑脚地走进他的房间时,他居然没有在椅子里惊动一下。医生直接走到他的病人跟前,把手放在牧师的胸口,扯开到目前为止连诊视时都没解开过的法衣。

此时,丁梅斯代尔先生确实抖了抖,微微一动。
After a brief pause, the physician turned away.
