Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
2
Read by Juliet Stevenson.
3
Chapter One There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.
4
We had been wandering indeed in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning, but since dinner, Mrs. Reed, when there was no company,
5
dined early, the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre and a rain so penetrating
6
that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.
7
I was glad of it.
8
I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons.
9
Dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie,
10
the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana read.
11
The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mama in the drawing-room.
12
She lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her, for the time neither quarrelling nor crying, looked perfectly happy.
13
Me she had dispensed from joining the group, saying she regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance,
14
but that until she heard from Bessie and could discover by her own observation, that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition,
15
a more attractive and sprightly manner, something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were.
16
She really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy little children.
17
What does Bessie say I've done?
18
I asked.
19
Jane, I don't like cavilers or questioners.
20
Besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner.
21
Be seated somewhere.
22
and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent.
23
A small breakfast room adjoined the drawing-room.
24
I slipped in there.
25
It contained a bookcase.
26
I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures.
27
I mounted into the window-seat.
28
Gathering up my feet, I sat cross-legged like a Turk, and having drawn the red marine curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.
29
Folds of scarlet drapery shut in my view to the right hand, to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting but not separating me from the drear November day.
30
At intervals, while turning over the leaves in my book, I studied the aspect of that winter afternoon.
31
Afar it offered a pale blank of mist and cloud.
32
Near, a scene of wet lawn and storm-beach shrub, with ceaseless rain sweeping away wildly before a long and lamentable blast.
33
I returned to my book, Buick's History of British Birds.
34
The letterpress thereof I cared little for, generally speaking, and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I could not pass quite as a blank.
35
They were those which treat of the haunts of sea-fowl, of the solitary rocks and promontories by them only inhabited, of the coast of Norway,
36
studied with isles from its southern extremity, the Lindness, or Nays, to the North Cape, where the northern ocean in vast whirls boils round the naked,
37
melancholy isles of farthest Thule, and the Atlantic surge pours in among the stormy Hebrides.
38
Nor could I pass unnoticed the suggestion of the bleak shores of Lapland, Siberia, Spitsbergen, Nova Zembla, Iceland,
39
Greenland, with the vast sweep of the Arctic zone and those forlorn regions of dreary space, that reservoir of frost and snow,
40
where firm fields of ice, the accumulation of centuries of winters, glazed in alpine heights above heights,
41
surround the pole, and can centre the multiplied rigours of extreme cold.
42
Of these death-white realms I formed an idea of my own,
43
shadowy, like all the half-notions that float dim through children's brains, but strangely impressive.
44
The words in these introductory pages connected themselves with the succeeding vignettes, and gave significance to the rock standing up alone in a sea of billow in spray,
45
to the broken boat, stranded on a desolate coast, to the cold and ghastly moon, glancing through bars of cloud at a wreck just sinking.
46
I cannot tell what sentiment haunted the quite solitary churchyard with its inscribed headstone, its gate, its two trees,
47
its low horizon, girdled by a broken wall, and its newly-risen crescent attesting the hour of eventide.
48
The two ships, becalmed on a torpid sea, I believed to be marine phantoms.
49
The fiend, pinning down the thief's pack behind him, I passed over quickly.
50
It was an object of terror.
51
So was the black, horned thing, seated aloof on a rock, surveying a distant crowd surrounding a gallows.
52
Each picture told a story, mysterious often to my undeveloped understanding and imperfect feelings, yet ever profoundly interesting.
53
as interesting as the tales Bessie sometimes narrated on winter evenings, when she chanced to be in a good humour, and when, having brought her ironing-table to the nursery hearth,
54
she allowed us to sit about it, and while she got up Mrs. Reed's lace-frills and crimped her nightcap borders,
55
fed our eager attention with passages of love and adventure, taken from old fairy-tales and older ballads, or, as at a later period I discovered,
56
from the pages of Pamela and Henry Earl of Moorland.
57
With Buick on my knee, I was then happy, happy at least in my way.
58
I feared nothing but interruption, and that came too soon.
59
A breakfast-room door was opened.
60
"'Bo, Madam Mope!' cried the voice of John Reed.
61
Then he paused.
62
He found the room apparently empty.
63
"'Where the Dickens is she?' he continued.
64
"'Lizzy!
65
Georgie!' calling to his sisters.
66
"'Jane's not here.
67
Tell Mama she's run out into the rain, bad animal!' "'It is well I drew the curtain,' thought I,
68
and I wished fervently he might not discover my hiding-place.
69
Nor would John Reed have found it out himself.
70
He was not quick, either of vision or conception.
71
But Eliza just put her head in at the door, and said at once, "'She's in the window-seat, to be sure, Jack.' And I came out immediately,
72
for I trembled at the idea of being dragged forth by the said Jack.
73
"'What do you want?' I asked with awkward diffidence.
74
"'Say, what do you want, Master Reed?' was the answer.
75
"'I want you to come here.' and seating himself in an armchair, he intimated by a gesture that I was to approach and stand before him.
76
John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen years old, four years older than I, for I was but ten, large and stout for his age,
77
with a dingy and unwholesome skin, thick lineaments in a spacious visage, heavy limbs and large extremities.
78
He gorged himself habitually at table, which made him bilious, and gave him a dim and bleared eye with flabby cheeks.
79
He ought now to have been at school, but his mama had taken him home for a month or two, on account of his delicate health.
80
Mr. Miles, the master, affirmed that he would do very well if he had fewer cakes and sweetmeat sent him from home, but the mother's heart turned from an opinion so harsh,
81
and inclined rather to the more refined idea that John's sallowness was owing to over-application, and perhaps to pining after home.
82
John had not much affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy to me.
83
He bullied and punished me, not two or three times in the week, nor once or twice in a day, but continually.
84
Every nerve I had feared him, and every morsel of flesh on my bones shrank when he came near.
85
There were moments when I was bewildered by the terror he inspired, because I had no appeal whatever against either his menaces or his inflictions.
86
The servants did not like to offend their young master by taking my part against him, and Mrs. Reed was blind and deaf on the subject.
87
She never saw him strike or heard him abuse me, though he did both, now and then, in her very presence, more frequently, however, behind her back.
88
Habitually obedient to John, I came up to his chair.
89
He spent some three minutes in thrusting out his tongue at me as far as he could without damaging the roots.
90
I knew he would soon strike, and while dreading the blow, I mused on the disgusting and ugly appearance of him who would presently deal it.
91
I wonder if he read that notion in my face, for all at once, without speaking, he struck suddenly and strongly.
92
I tottered, and on regaining my equilibrium, retired back a step or two from his chair.
93
"'That is for your impudence in answering Mama a while since, said he, and for your sneaking way of getting behind curtains,
94
and for the look you had in your eyes two minutes since, you rat.
95
Accustomed to John Reed's abuse, I never had an idea of replying to it.
96
My care was how to endure the blow which would certainly follow the insult.
97
What were you doing behind the curtain? he asked.
98
I was reading.
99
Show the book.
100
I returned to the window and fetched it thence.
101
You have no business to take our books.
102
You are a dependent, Mama says.
103
You have no money.
104
Your father left you none.
105
You ought to beg and not to live here with gentlemen's children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our Mama's expense.
106
Now I'll teach you to rummage my bookshelves, for they are mine.
107
All the house belongs to me, or will do in a few years.
108
Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows.' I did so, not at first aware what was his intention,
109
but when I saw him lift and poise the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with a cry of alarm.
110
Not soon enough, however, the volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it.
111
The cut bled.
112
The pain was sharp.
113
My terror had passed its climax.
114
Other feelings succeeded.
115
"'Wicked and cruel, boy!' I said.
116
"'You're like a murderer.
117
You're like a slave-driver.
118
You're like the Roman emperors.' I had read Goldsmith's History of Rome, and had formed my opinion of Nero,
119
Caligula, etc. Also I had drawn parallels in silence, which I never thought thus to have declared aloud.
120
"'What?
121
What?' he cried.
122
"'Did she say that to me?
123
Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana?
124
Won't I tell Mama, but first?' He ran headlong at me.
125
I felt him grasp my hair and my shoulder.
126
He had closed with a desperate thing.
127
I really saw in him a tyrant, a murderer.
128
I felt a drop or two of blood from my head trickle down my neck, and was sensible of somewhat pungent suffering.
129
These sensations for the time predominated over fear, and I received him in frantic sort.
130
I don't very well know what I did with my hands, but he called me, Rat!
131
Rat! and bellowed out aloud.
132
Aid was near him.
133
Eliza and Georgiana had run for Mrs. Reed, who was gone upstairs.
134
She now came upon the scene, followed by Bessie and her maid, Abbott.
135
We were parted.
136
I heard the words, Dear, dear, what a fury to fly at Master John!
137
Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion?
138
Then Mrs. Reed subjoined, Take her away to the Red Room, and lock her in there.
139
Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was born upstairs.
140
Thank you.
FOR YOU

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
