Chapter 23 THE REVELATIONOF THE SCARLET LETTER
第二十三章 红字的显露

But there was something in the latter's expression that warned back the magistrate, although a man not readily obeying the vague intimationsthat pass from one spirit to another. The crowd, meanwhile, looked on with awe and wonder. This earthly faintness was, in their view, only another phase of the ministers' celestialstrength; nor would it have seemed a miracle too high to be wrought for one so holy, had he ascended before their eyes, waxing dimmer and brighter, and fading at last into the light of heaven!
贝灵汉在这几分钟里始终焦虑地注视着他。此时贝灵汉离开了队伍中自己的位置,走上前来帮助他,因为从丁梅斯代尔先生的面容来判断,不去扶他一把就一定会摔倒的。但是,牧师的表情中有一种推拒之意,令这位达官不敢上前,尽管他并不是那种乐于听命于人与人之间心息相通的隐约暗示的人。与此同时,人群则怀着谅惧参半的心情观望着。在他们看来,这种肉体的衰竭只不过是牧师的神力的另一种表现;设若象他这样神圣的人,就在众人眼前飞升,渐黯又渐明,最终消失在天国的光辉中,也不会被视为难以企及的奇迹。
