I only wish to ask you if you will help me to lessen the evil consequences of the past, which is unchangeable.

我只想问你能不能帮我减轻过去的恶果， 那是无法改变的。

The evil consequences that may lie folded in a single act of selfish indulgence is a thought so awful that it ought surely to awaken some feeling less presumptuous than a rash desire to punish.

单次自私放纵的行为可能会带来邪恶的后果， 这种想法是如此可怕， 以至于它肯定会唤起一些感觉， 而不是鲁莽的惩罚欲望。

Then—as if the only barrier betwixt herself and the world had been thrown down, and a flood of evil consequences would come tumbling through the gap—she fled into the inner parlor, threw herself into the ancestral elbow-chair, and wept.

然后——仿佛她与世界之间唯一的屏障被推倒，恶果的洪流将从缺口中倾泻而出——她逃进内厅，扑到祖传的扶手椅上痛哭流涕。
