I would have asked why Mrs Dean had deserted the Grange, but it was impossible to delay her at such a crisis, so I turned away and made my exit, rambling leisurely along with the glow of a sinking sun behind, and the mild glory of a rising moon in front--one fading, and the other brightening--as I quitted the park, and climbed the stony by-road branching off to Mr Heathcliff's dwelling.

我原想问问丁太太为什么丢弃了田庄，但是在这样一个紧要关头来耽搁她是不可能的，所以我就转身走了，悠闲地散步去了，后面是落日残黑，前面是正在升起的月亮的淡淡的光辉——一个渐渐消退，另一个渐渐亮起来——这时我离开了园林，攀登上通往希刺克厉夫住所的石砌的支路。

It was long ere I could close an eye, and Heaven knows I had matter enough for thought in the man whom I had slain that afternoon, in my own most perilous position, and, above all, in the remarkable game that I saw Silver now engage upon - keeping the mutineers together with one hand, an grasping, with the other, after every means, possible an impossible, to make his peace and save his miserable life.

我一直不能合眼。老天在上，我确实有太多的事情要考虑考虑。我在想下午我自己在危及性命的紧要关头杀死的那个人，我在寻思西尔弗目前玩弄的极其狡诈的手段：他一方面把那些叛逆者控制在手里，另一方面又不遗余力地抓住任何机会保住自己的狗命，为保平安，也不管是否行得通。

Was he a man who vacillated from crisis to crisis, buffeted by the ever-changing winds of global and regional politics but surviving against the odds by duplicitously playing off all sides against each other and taking bids from whoever seemed to have the highest cards at the time—Russians and Americans, Arabs and Jews, Baathists and monarchists—while seeking merely to stay on his rickety and often irrelevant throne?

他在各种紧要关头左右徘徊，遭受着全球政治与地区政治不断变化的趋势所带来的种种打击，但却不可思议地挺了过来。究其原因，人们可以发现他采取了挑拨离间的手腕，使得各方政权相互厮杀，自己坐得渔翁之利。并且，他巴结与臣服于那时任何看来最有势力的政权——俄国人与美国人、阿拉伯人与犹太人，以及叙利亚社会党人与君主制主义者——与此同时还不为人注意地寻求着继续呆在其动荡不安以及微不足道的王位上。他又是这样的一个人吗？
