《鄂榭府崩溃记》

From that chamber, and from that mansion, I fled aghast.

（我惊骇欲狂，立马逃出屋子，逃出了那宅邸。）

The storm was sill abroad in all its wrath as I found myself crossing the old causeway.

（外面，风暴依旧肆虐，逐我跑过倾颓的堤道。）

Suddenly there shot alone he path a wild light, and I turned to see whence a gleam so unusual could have issued; for the vast house and its shadows were alone behind me.

（霎时间，有道怪光照在了路上。我蓦然回首，想看看这道奇异的光亮来自何处，因为我身后唯有那巨大的古厦伴着阴影茕茕孑立。）

The radiance was that of he full, setting, and blood-red moon which now shone vividly through that once barely-discernible fissure of which I have before spoken as extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base.

（原来，那是一轮血红的满月，它恹恹地孤悬于西天，将那条细微的裂隙照得清晰可见。正是我提起过的那条裂隙，它从屋顶一直向着墙根蜿蜒。）

While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened--there came a fierce breath of the whirlwind--the entire orb of the satellite burst at once upon my sight--my brain relled as I saw the mighty walls rushing asunder--there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters--and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the "House of Usher".

（我怔怔地凝望，那裂隙竟在迅速变宽——一阵狂风呼啸而起，那轮血月顿时现于眼前——巨大的宅墙崩裂开来，我知觉一阵天旋地转——耳边响起震天的喊声，经久不息，犹如万丈惊涛的怒号——而脚下那幽玄的山池，终于沉郁寂寥地淹没了”鄂榭府“的断壁颓垣。）
