Abstract

‘Now, indeed, I seemed in a worse case than before. Hitherto, except during my night’s anguish at the loss of the Time Machine, I had felt a sustaining hope of ultimate escape, but that hope was staggered by these new discoveries. Hitherto I had merely thought myself impeded by the childish simplicity of the little people, and by some unknown forces which I had only to understand to overcome; but there was an altogether new element in the sickening quality of the Morlocks—a something inhuman and malign. Instinctively I loathed them. Before, I had felt as a man might feel who had fallen into a pit: my concern was with the pit and how to get out of it. Now I felt like a beast in a trap, whose enemy would come upon him soon.
当夜幕降临
“现在,的确,我的情况似乎比以前更糟了。到目前为止,除了晚上因为失去时间机器而感到痛苦之外,我一直有一种最终逃脱的希望,但这种希望被这些新发现动摇了。到目前为止,我一直认为阻碍我前进的只是那些小人物的孩子气的单纯,以及一些我只知道要克服的未知的力量。但是在莫洛克夫妇令人作呕的品质中,却有一种全新的因素——一种不人道的、恶毒的东西。我本能地厌恶他们。以前,我的感觉就像一个掉进了坑里的人的感觉:我关心的是这个坑,以及如何从坑里出来。现在我觉得自己像一只落入陷阱的野兽,敌人很快就会来找他。
