“我向他要钱,”艾丽森说。“小贩很生气,我不喜欢他。我也很生气,我希望他死!”
’ Tell me about your dog.’
“给我讲讲你的狗是怎么回事。”
“The dog is my friend.’Alizon said slowly.’I wanted a friend, and I found that dog two months ago. I told my grand-mother, and she liked the dog, too.’
“它是我的朋友,”艾丽森慢慢地说道。“我想要一个朋友,两个月前我找到了那条狗。我把这件事告诉了我的外祖母,她也喜欢那条狗。”
’Did the dog run after the pedlar?’
“那条狗是不是追赶小贩了?”
’Yes, of course. I cursed the pedlar, and the dog ran after him!’Alizon said.’ I’m sorry now, because Mr Law is ill.’
“当然追了。我诅咒了小贩,那条狗便去追赶他!”艾丽森说。“现在劳先生病了,我很抱歉。”
’She’s a witch!’one of the men said quietly.
“她是个女巫!”一个男人轻声说。
Roger Nowell stood up and walked across the room to the door.’James Device, come in. We want to question you.’
罗杰·诺埃尔站了起来,穿过房间走到门口。“詹姆斯·迪瓦斯,进来。我们有话问你。”
James came in and stood next to Alizon.James was thirteen years old, nearly a man, but he was afraid of many things. He began to cry.
詹姆斯走了进来,站在艾丽森身边。詹姆斯13岁,几乎是个男子汉了,但是,他对很多东西都感到恐惧。他哭了起来。
’Don’t be afraid,’Mr Nowell said.’we want you to talk abut your grandmother,Old Demdike.’
“别害怕,”诺埃尔先生说。“我们想让你讲讲你的外祖母老德姆代克的一些事。”
But Alizon wanted to talk.’Don’ t ask him!’ she said quick-ly.’I can tell you about my grandmother because I’m with her every minute of the day. I go with her from village to village. I go with her across Pendle Hill.She asks people for money and food, and I help her.’Alizon stopped.She looked at James, and then she looked at Mr Nowell.’She cursed a child once, and the child died later that year.’
可是,这时候艾丽森却想说话。“别问他!”她急促地说。“我可以告诉你们关于我外祖母的事,因为我一天到晚和她在一起。我们俩一起翻越潘德尔山,走了一村又一村。她向人们讨饭要钱,我给她帮忙。”艾丽森停住了。她看了看詹姆斯,又看了看诺埃尔先生,接着说:“她曾经诅咒过一个小孩儿,后来,就在那一年,小孩儿死了。”
’And you!’James said.’You cursed a child, too!Somebody told me!’James suddenly sat down on the floor and began to laugh loudly.
“还有你!”詹姆斯说。“你也诅咒过一个小孩儿!有人告诉我了!”詹姆斯突然坐到了地板上,大笑起来。
’Be quiet!’Roger Nowell said coldly.’Alizon Device,tell me the truth:did you curse a child?’
“安静!”罗杰·诺埃尔冷冷地说。“艾丽森·迪瓦斯,对我说真话:你曾诅咒过一个小孩儿吗?”
’Yes, I did,’Alizon cried.’The child called me a witch, and I was angry. I cursed the child,but I was sorry when the child died.’
“是的,诅咒过,”艾丽森喊道。“那个孩子管我叫女巫,我生气了。我就诅咒了他,但是对于他的死我很抱歉。”
