Silas
finds
his
“gold”
But
while
Godfrey
Cass
was
managing
to
forget
his
problems
by
the
lovely
Nancy's
side，his
wife
was
walking
with
slow，uncertain
steps
along
the
snow－covered
road
to
Raveloe.She
was
carrying
her
sleeping
child
in
her
arms.
For
some
time
now
she
had
planned
to
come
to
Raveloe
on
New
Year's
Eve.She
knew
that
her
husband
would
be
at
the
centre
of
a
happy，smiling
group
of
friends，and
she
had
chosen
this
moment
to
appear
in
front
of
all
his
family
and
guests
at
the
Red
House
dance.“I
don't
care
if
Godfrey
is
ashamed
of
me！”she
thought
bitterly.“I
want
people
to
know
we're
married！”Sometimes
she
hated
her
husband,
because
he
was
still
handsome，and
had
money，while
she
was
no
longer
pretty，and
very
poor.She
blamed
him
for
her
miserable
life，but
in
her
heart
she
knew
she
should
blame
her
drinking.It
had
become
a
habit
with
her
to
spend
most
of
the
money
Godfrey
gave
her
on
gin.She
had
a
bottle
in
her
pocket
now，which
she
had
lifted
to
her
lips
several
times
during
her
journey.
It
was
already
seven
o'clock
in
the
evening，and
there
was
a
freezing
wind.Molly
did
not
know
she
was
very
near
Raveloe.Her
legs
were
tired
and
the
gin
was
beginning
to
make
her
feel
sleepy.She
thought
she
would
rest
for
a
while，and，still
holding
her
child，she
lay
down
on
the
snow.She
did
not
notice
that
the
ground
was
cold.
In
a
few
moments
the
child
woke
up，crying，“Mummy！”
But
the
mother
did
not
seem
to
hear.Suddenly，as
the
child
fell
gently
out
of
its
mother's
arms
on
to
the
soft
snow，it
noticed
a
bright，dancing
light
on
the
white
ground.Interested，the
child
stood
up
to
see
where
the
brightness
came
from，and
followed
the
light
to
an
open
door，the
door
of
Silas
Marner's
cottage.The
little
one
toddled
right
in
through
the
door
and
sat
down
by
the
bright
fire.After
a
few
minutes
the
child
felt
pleasantly
warm,
and
fell
asleep.
But
where
was
Silas
while
this
was
happening？In
the
evenings
he
sometimes
used
to
open
his
door
and
look
out.He
had
some
idea
that
his
money
would
come
back，or
that
someone
would
come
with
information
about
the
thief.Tonight
was
New
Year's
Eve，and
the
villagers
had
told
him
to
stay
awake
until
midnight，because
it
would
bring
him
good
luck
if
he
saw
the
beginning
of
the
new
year.So
tonight
he
was
more
restless
than
usual.He
opened
his
door
several
times
during
the
evening，and
stared
out，but
he
saw
and
heard
nothing
in
the
silent，freezing
night.The
last
time，as
he
was
standing
at
the
door，he
had
one
of
his
fits，and
stood
there
completely
unconscious，holding
the
door
open.
第7章 西拉斯找到了他的“金子”
然而就在戈弗雷·凯斯坐在可爱的南茜身边试图忘记一切烦恼的时候，他的妻子正在大雪覆盖的道路上艰难地向瑞福洛的方向跋涉着。她的孩子睡在她的臂弯里。
她已经计划好要在新年之夜到瑞福洛去，她知道她的丈夫一定正在被幸福欢笑的朋友们环绕着，她就是要选择这个时候出现在他的家人和朋友们面前，出现在红屋的舞会上。“我不在乎戈弗雷会以我为耻，”她苦涩地想，“我要让大家知道我们结婚了！”有时她恨她的丈夫，因为他仍然英俊而且富有，可她已经不再漂亮了，而且贫困。她为自己的不幸埋怨他，但在心底里她知道应该怨自己酗酒。她已经习惯于把戈弗雷给她的大部分钱用来买酒。现在她兜里就有一瓶酒，而且一路上她已经喝了几次。
已经是晚上7点了，风冷得刺骨。莫丽不知道她已经离瑞福洛很近了。她的腿开始发沉，酒精也开始使她昏昏欲睡。她想应该歇一会儿，于是就抱着孩子，躺到了雪地上。她没有注意地上是那么冷。
一会儿孩子醒了，开始哭着喊妈妈。可妈妈好像没有听见。当孩子从妈妈的臂中滑落到松软的雪地上时，忽然看到白白的雪地上跳动着一点小小的亮光。出于好奇，孩子站起来想看看光是从哪儿来的。向着亮光，孩子走进了一扇开着的门，这是西拉斯·马南的小草屋。小家伙蹒跚着直进门里走到明亮的炉火前坐下。没过几分钟，孩子暖和过来，甜甜地睡着了。
但这时西拉斯在哪儿呢？他晚上有时会打开门看看外面，总觉得有一天他的金子会回来，或者什么人会给他带来关于贼的消息。今晚是新年夜，村里人告诉他今天午夜前不要睡觉，因为看着新的一年到来会给人带来好运。所以今晚他比平时更坐立不安。他几次打开门向外面看，可是在这个静静的寒冷的冬夜，他什么也看不见，什么也听不见。最后一次站到门口的时候，他又犯病了，站在那儿完全失去了知觉，门开着。

我们这个世界充满了奥秘，而且其中的一些似乎是永远的未解之谜。它们深深地吸引着我们去探索其背后的真相。
Monsters
in
Scotland
It
is
said
that
Nessie
is
a
lake
monster
inhabiting
Loch
Ness
in
Scotland.This
monster
is
one
of
the
best?known
cryptids
studied
by
cryptology.Popular
belief
and
interest
in
the
animal
has
fluctuated
over
the
years
since
it
came
to
the
world's
attention
in
1933.Evidence
of
its
existence
is
largely
anecdotal，with
minimal，and
much
questioned，photographic
material
and
sonar
reading，there
has
not
been
any
physical
evidence
(skeletal
remains，capture
of
a
live
animal，definitive
tissue
samples
or
spoor)
uncovered
as
of
2008.
A
similar
loch
monster
named
Morag
is
reported
to
live
in
Loch
Mora，Scotland.After
Nessie
herself，Morag
is
among
the
best
known
of
Scotland's
legendary
monsters.
Secrets
in
Stone
Stonehenge
is
a
group
of
huge
stones
in
England.It
was
probably
built
about
5，000
years
ago.So
how
did
its
makers
manage
to
transport，shape，raise
and
connect
the
giant
stones？Even
more
mysterious，how
did
they
know
how
to
position
the
stones
in
exactly
the
right
spots
to
measure
the
movements
of
the
sun
and
the
moon?
The
answer
is:
no
one
knows.
There
are
megaliths，or
big
stones，all
over
the
world.On
Easter
Island
there
are
about
900
giant
stone
heads.The
statues
are
from
3
to
12
metres
high.Some
weigh
over
45
tons.That's
more
than
the
weight
of
seven
elephants!
How
did
the
statues
get
on
Easter
Island?
A
legend
says
they
walked
there.The
mystery
is
still
waiting
to
be
solved.

The
Monster
of
Lake
Tianchi
The
“Monster
of
Lake
Tianchi”
in
the
Changbai
Mountains
in
Jilin
province,
northeast
China,
is
back
in
the
news
after
several
recent
sightings(目击).
The
director
of
a
local
tourist
office,
Meng
Fanying,
said
the
monster,
which
seemed
to
be
black
in
colour①，
was
ten
metres
from
the
edge
of
the
lake
during
the
most
recent
sighting.
“It
jumped
out
of
the
water
like
a
seal(海豹)
—
about
200
people
on
Changbai's
western
peak
saw
it，”
he
said.
Although
no
one
really
got
a
clear
look
at
the
mysterious
creature,
Xue
Junlin,
a
local
photographer,
claimed(声称)
that
its
head
looked
like
a
horse②.
天池里的怪物
最近，几次有人在中国东北吉林省长白山的天池看见怪物，这使得怪物再次成为新闻话题。据当地的旅游办公室主任孟凡迎说，最近有人看见怪物就在离湖边十米的地方，它的颜色似乎是黑色的。他说：“大约有200人从长白山的西峰看见过怪物，它像海豹一样跃出水面。”尽管没有人看清楚过这个怪物，但当地的一位摄影师薛俊林声称它的头看起来像马头。

②that
its

In
another
recent
sighting,
a
group
of
soldiers
claim
they
saw
an
animal
moving
on
the
surface(表面)
of
the
water.
The
soldiers,
who
were
walking
along
the
side
of
the
lake③，
watched
the
creature
swimming
for
about
two
minutes.
“It
was
greenish?black
and
had
a
round
head
with
10?centimetre
horns(角)”，
one
of
the
soldiers
said.
最近还有一次目击，一群士兵声称，他们看见水面上有动物在游动。正在湖边行走的士兵们看到这一生物游了大约两分钟。其中一名士兵说：“它的颜色是浅绿带黑，圆形的头上有10厘米长的角。”
[助读讲解] ③who
were
walking
along
the
side
of
the
lake是who引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The
soldiers。
A
third
report
came
from
Li
Xiaohe,
who
was
visiting
the
lake
with
his
family.
He
claims
to
have
seen
a
round
black
creature
moving
quickly
through
the
water.
After
three
or
four
hundred
metres
it
dived
into
the
water.
Ten
minutes
later
the
monster
appeared
again
and
repeated
the
action.
Mr
Li
Xiaohe
said
that
he
and
his
family
were
able
to
see
the
monster
clearly
because
the
weather
was
fine
and
the
lake
was
calm.④
还有一则报道来自李晓和，当时他和他的家人正在湖边游玩。他声称看见一个黑黑的、圆圆的动物在水中快速游动。三四百米后潜入水中。10分钟后，怪物再次出现，并重复了相同的动作。李晓和先生说他和家人都清楚地看见了怪物，因为当时天气好并且湖水平静。
[助读讲解] ④that
he
and
his
family
were
able
to
see
the
monster
clearly是that引导的宾语从句作said的宾语，其后because引导原因状语从句。
There
have

of
monsters
in

Tianchi
since
the

although
no

up⑤.
Some
photos
have
been
taken
but
they
are
not
clear
because
it
was
too
far
away.
Many
people
think
the
monster
may
be
a
distantcousin
of
the
Loch
Ness
monster
in
Scotland⑥.
They
also
think
that
there
might
be
similar
creatures
in
other
lakes
around
the
world.
Scientists,
however,
are
sceptical(怀疑的).
They
say
that
the
low?temperature
lake
is
unlikely
to
be
able
to
support
such
large
living
creatures.
自上世纪初以来，一直就有关于天池怪物的报道，尽管还不曾有人近距离地目睹过。有人拍到过怪物的一些照片，但由于距离太远，它们看起来模糊不清。许多人认为，它可能是苏格兰尼斯湖怪物的远房表亲。他们还认为，在世界其他地方的湖泊里也许有类似的生物。然而，科学家们表示怀疑。他们说，水温这样低的湖泊不可能生存有体形如此巨大的动物。
[助读讲解] ⑤此处although
no

⑥the
