know how this Agra treasure had weighed me down until
now that it was finally removed. It was selfish, no doubt,

disloyal, wrong, but I could realize nothing save that the
golden barrier was gone from between us.

我听到她这句话时，体会到了其中的含意，一个巨大的阴影似乎

从我心间消失了。直到这宗阿格拉宝物最终被挪开，我才意识到它曾
多么沉重地压在我的心头上。我的想法无疑是自私的、不忠实的、错

误的，可是，我什么都想不到了，只想到我们两人之间的金钱障碍已

"Thank God!" I ejaculated from my very heart.

“感谢上帝！”我由衷地感到高兴，不免失声说道。

She looked at me with a quick, questioning smile.

她望着我，脸上立刻露出一丝问询的微笑。

"Why do you say that?" she asked.

“您为什么这样说呢？”她问。

Mary, as truly as ever a man loved a woman. Because this
treasure, these riches, sealed my lips. Now that they are

gone I can tell you how I love you. That is why I said, 'Thank
God.'"

“因为我可以追求你了。”我握住她的手说道。她没有缩回

去。“因为我爱你，玛丽，堪比男人对女人最恳切的爱恋。因为这些宝
物、这些财富堵住了我的嘴。现在宝物丢失了，我可以告诉你，我是

多么的爱你了。因此我才说‘感谢上帝’。”

"Then I say 'Thank God,' too." She whispered as I drew
her to my side.

“那么，我也应该说‘感谢上帝’。”我把她揽到身边时，她轻轻地
说道。
