第1段
As I stepped out of the train I felt unusually solitary, since I was the only passenger to alight. I was accustomed to arriving in the summer, when holiday makers throng coastal resorts, and this was my first visit when the season was over. My destination was a little village eight miles distant by the road, but only four if you took the cliff path over the moor. This I always did, unless it was raining: and I left my luggage at the bus office beside the railway station, to be conveyed for me on the next bus, so that I could enjoy my walk unhampered by a suitcase.
当我走下火车时，我感到异常的孤独，因为就我一个乘客下车。我习惯于在夏天来这里，那时假日游客们都涌向沿海度假胜地，这是夏季之后，我第一次来。我的目的地是一个小村庄,走公路的话，八英里远，但如果走荒野上的悬崖小路，只有四英里远。不下雨的话，我总是这样做：我把行李放在火车站旁边的公交车站办公室，下一班公交车会把行李给我运过来，这样我就可以不受手提箱的限制了。

It took me only a few minutes to come to the foot of the cliff path. Half way up I paused to enjoy the sight of the purple hills stretching away to my right and to my left the open sea. When I reached the top I had left all signs of habitation behind me. The moorland turf was springy under my feet, the air was like wine and I felt rejuvenated and intoxicated with it. Glancing seaward a minute or two later, I was surprised to notice that the sky was already aflame with the sunset. The air grew perceptibly cooler and I began to look forward to the delectable hot meal I should have when I reached the inn. It seemed to be getting dark amazingly quickly. I did not think that I had walked unduly slowly and I was at a loss to account for the exceptionally early end of daylight, until I recollected that on previous visits I had walked in high summer and now it was October and the nights were drawing in.
我走到悬崖小路的山脚，只花了几分钟时间。在半山腰时，我停下来欣赏美景，右边是紫色的山丘蜿蜒，左边是无垠的大海。当我到达山顶时，一切有人居住的迹象都被我留在了身后。我脚下的荒野草皮松软可弹，空气如葡萄酒，我感到精神焕发，陶醉其中。一两分钟后，我朝海上望去，惊讶地发现晚霞已经把天空映得通红。空气明显变凉了，我开始期待当我抵达旅馆时我能吃到的美味热饭。 天黑得惊人地快。我不认为我走得太慢了，我困惑于天黑得特别早，直到我想起以前是在盛夏游玩，而现在是十月，黑夜越来越长。
第3段
All at once it was night. The track was grassy and even in daylight showed up hardly at all against the moor, so it was difficult to keep on it now. If only I had been a smoker with matches always to hand, or if my torch had been in my pocket instead of in the suitcase, I could have walked with more assurance. As it was, I was terrified of hurtling over the edge of the cliff to the rocks below. When I did stray, however, it was towards the hills. I felt my feet squelching and sticking in something soggy. There was no bog to my knowledge near the track, so I must have wandered a long way off my course. I extricated myself with difficulty and very cautiously edged myself towards the sound of the sea. Then I bumped into a little clump of trees that suddenly loomed up in front of me. This was providential rest and shelter until the moon rose. I climbed up the nearest trunk and managed to find a tolerably comfortable fork in which to sit. The waiting seemed interminable and was relieved only by my attempts to identify the little stirrings and noises of animal life that I could hear. I grew colder and colder and managed to sleep only in uneasy, fitful starts, waking when my position got cramped. At last, when the moon came up I discovered that I was not more than fifty yards from the track and I was soon on my way again.
一下子就到了晚上。道路上长满了草，即使是在白天，道路在荒原上也不容易看清，所以现在很难继续走在道路上。如果我是个手不离火柴的烟民，或者如果我的手电筒不是留在手提箱而是在身上，我就可以走得更有把握了。事实上，我很害怕从悬崖边缘猛掉到下面的岩石上。不过，我走偏的时候，偏向的是山丘那一侧。我感觉到脚步扑哧作响，还黏在湿漉漉的东西上。据我所知，道路附近并没有沼泽，这样一来，我肯定大幅偏离了我的路线。我费了很大劲才从泥泞中脱身，小心翼翼地往有海浪声这一侧走。然后我遇到了突然出现在我面前的一小丛树木。在月亮升起之前，这真是非常凑巧的庇护之所，正好休息。我爬上最近的树干，设法找到一个坐着稍微舒服些的树杈。等待似乎没有止境，只有在我试图辨认出我所听到的来自动物的微小动静和噪音时，我才稍感放松。我变得越来越冷，试着让自己在不安、断断续续的状态下睡一会儿，当我感到睡姿很挤时醒了过来。最后，月亮升起，我发现我离道路不超过五十码，很快我又上路了。
