d calmly. He looked down at her.

他坐起来，望向窗外，怅然若失。“你真的爱我，是吗？”她平静地问。他垂头望着她。

"Tha knows what tha knows. What dost ax for!" He said, a little fretfully.

“恁明知道答案。干嘛还来问俺！”他心情烦乱地说。

"I want you to keep me, not to let me go," she said.

“我要你留住我，阻止我离开。”她说。

His eyes seemed full of a warm, soft darkness that could not think.

他的眼神温暖柔和，但却难掩心中的凄然，他已经无法思考。

"When? Now?" "Now in your heart. Then I want to come and live with you, always, soon." He sat naked on the bed, with his head dropped, unable to think.

“什么时候？现在？”“现在只需你将我留在心里。不久的将来，我便会来到你的身边，与你长相厮守。”他赤裸着坐在床上，耷拉着脑袋，心绪依然烦乱。

"Don't you want it?” She asked.

“难道你不想这样吗？”她问。

"Ay!" He said.

“是呀！”他叹道。

Then with the same eyes darkened with another flame of consciousness, almost like sleep, he looked at her.

意识的火焰将那双眼睛燃得愈发模糊，好像几乎进入梦境，只是茫然地望着她。

"Dunna ax me nowt now," he said. "Let me be. I like thee. I luv thee when tha lies theer. A woman's a lovely thing when "er's deep ter fuck, and cunt's good. Ah luv thee, thy legs, an' th' shape on thee, an'th' womanness on thee. Ah luv th' womanness on thee. Ah luv thee wi' my bas an' wi' my heart. But dunna ax me nowt. Dunna ma'e me say nowt. Let me stop as I am while I can. Tha can ax me iverything after. Now let me be, let me be!” And softly, he laid his hand over her mound of Venus, on the soft brown maiden-hair, and himself-sat still and naked on the bed, his face motionless in physical abstraction, almost like the face of Buddha. Motionless, and in the invisible flame of another consciousness, he sat with his hand on her, and waited for the turn.

“现在别问俺任何事。”他说。“让俺就这样吧。俺喜欢恁。俺愿意恁躺在俺身边。女人的妙处在于她能被深深地进入，拥有完美的私处。俺爱恁，爱恁的腿，爱恁窈窕的身姿，爱恁非凡的女性魅力。那种魅力让俺心醉神迷。俺的全部身心都爱着恁。但现在别问俺。现在别让俺许下承诺。现在就让俺这样吧。以后，恁想问什么都可以。现在就让俺这么着吧！”他的手温柔地拂过她的丰臀，略过她褐色的柔软毛丛，而他的身躯却依然呆坐在床上，赤条条的，动也不动。面无表情，一副魂游天外的样子，活像佛陀那肃穆的面孔。他一动不动地坐着，手放在她身上，另一股无形的意识火焰悄然燃起，等待着转机的降临。

After a while, he reached for his shirt and put it on, dressed himself swiftly in silence, looked at her once as she still lay naked
