Jane Eyre 简爱 Chapter 20

I HAD forgotten to draw my curtain, which I usually did, and also to let down my window-blind. The consequence was, that when the moon, which was full and bright (for the night was fine), came in her course to that space in the sky opposite my casement 1, and looked in at me through the unveiled panes 2, her glorious gaze roused me., ,Awaking in the dead of night, I opened my eyes on her disk- silver-white and crystal clear. It was beautiful, but too solemn: I half rose, and stretched my arm to draw the curtain., ,Good God! What a cry!, , ,My pulse stopped: my heart stood still; my stretched arm was paralysed. The cry died, and was not renewed. Indeed, whatever being uttered that fearful shriek 6 could not soon repeat it: not the widest-winged condor 7 on the Andes could, twice in succession, send out such a yell from the cloud shrouding 8 his eyrie. The thing delivering  such utterance 9 must rest ere it could repeat the effort., ,It came out of the third storey; for it passed overhead. And overhead- yes, in the room just above my chamber 10-ceiling- I now heard a struggle: a deadly one it seemed from the noise; and a half- smothered 11 voice shouted-, ,With the casement half open,a cold breeze rushed inside.窗扉半开,凉风袭来。,The sun caught the panes and flashed back at him. 阳光照到窗玻璃上,又反射到他身上。
