Wuthering Heights - Chapter 14
呼啸山庄 - 第14章
花田
Spring came to the moors, bringing new life and hope. Cathy and Hareton continued to meet secretly, their friendship growing stronger each day. They explored the hills and valleys around Wuthering Heights, finding beauty and peace in nature.
春天来到了荒原，带来了新的生命和希望。凯茜和哈里顿继续秘密见面，他们的友谊日益加深。他们探索呼啸山庄周围的山丘和山谷，在自然中发现美丽和宁静。
One day, they discovered an old field behind the house, overgrown with wild flowers. Cathy suggested they clean up the field and plant a garden. Hareton agreed eagerly, happy to have a project to work on with her.
一天，他们在房子后面发现了一片长满野花的老田地。凯茜建议他们清理这片田地，种一个花园。哈里顿急切地同意了，很高兴能和她一起做一个项目。
They worked together every day, clearing away the weeds and planting flowers. Hareton was strong and hardworking, and Cathy was careful and artistic. As they worked, they talked and laughed, enjoying each other's company.
他们每天一起干活，清除杂草，种花。哈里顿强壮勤劳，凯茜细心而有艺术感。他们一边干活一边谈笑，享受彼此的陪伴。
For the first time in many years, Wuthering Heights felt less dark and oppressive. The flowers brought color and life to the gray house, and Cathy and Hareton brought laughter and hope.
多年来第一次，呼啸山庄感觉不那么黑暗和压抑了。花朵给灰色的房子带来了色彩和生机，凯茜和哈里顿带来了笑声和希望。
Heathcliff watched them with hatred. He did not want them to be happy. He had destroyed so many lives, and he wanted to destroy their happiness too.
希斯克利夫怀着仇恨看着他们。他不希望他们幸福。他摧毁了那么多人的生活，他也想摧毁他们的幸福。
'Why do you spend time with that ignorant fool?' he asked Cathy one day. 'You are above him. You should not speak to him.'
"你为什么把时间花在那个无知的傻瓜身上？"一天他问凯茜。"你高于他。你不该和他说话。"
Cathy stood up to him, something no one had dared to do for many years. 'Hareton is not a fool,' she said firmly. 'He is kind and hardworking, and he is learning to read and write. I am proud to be his friend.'
凯茜勇敢地面对他，这是多年来没有人敢做的事。"哈里顿不是傻瓜，"她坚定地说。"他善良勤劳，他正在学习读写。我为做他的朋友感到骄傲。"
Heathcliff was shocked by her courage. He had not expected her to defend Hareton. For a moment, he was reminded of Catherine, who had also been proud and stubborn.
希斯克利夫被她的勇气震惊了。他没有料到她会为哈里顿辩护。那一刻，他想起了凯瑟琳，她也曾骄傲而固执。
But the memory only made him angry. He hated Cathy because she looked like Catherine, yet she was not Catherine. He locked her in her room again, forbidding her from seeing Hareton.
但这段记忆只让他更加愤怒。他恨凯茜，因为她长得像凯瑟琳，但她不是凯瑟琳。他又把她锁在房间里，禁止她见哈里顿。
But this time, Cathy was not afraid. She knew that Heathcliff could not break her spirit, just as he had not broken Hareton's. She would continue to see Hareton, and they would continue to find happiness together, despite Heathcliff's cruelty.
但这一次，凯茜不再害怕。她知道希斯克利夫无法击垮她的精神，就像他没能击垮哈里顿的一样。她会继续见哈里顿，他们会继续一起寻找幸福，尽管希斯克利夫很残忍。
