'Harry，don't people say that… that Basil was murdered？'said Dorian．
"哈里，人们没说……巴兹尔是被谋杀的吗？"多里安说。
'Some of the newspapers say so，'replied Lord Henry，'but who would want to murder poor Basil？He wasn't clever enough to have enemies．'
"有些报纸这么说。"亨利勋爵回答。"可是谁想杀害可怜的巴兹尔？他没聪明到能给自己树敌。"
'What will you say， Harry， if I tell you that I murdered Basil？'asked Dorian．He watched his friend carefully．
"你会说什么，哈里，如果我告诉你是我杀了巴兹尔？"多里安问，他仔细地观察他的朋友。
Lord Henry smiled．'No，my dear Dorian， murder wouldn't please you．You like a different kind of pleasure．And you should never do anything that you cannot talk about after dinner．'He lifted his coffee cup．'What happened to the fine portrait that Basil painted of you？I haven't seen it for years． Didn't you tell me that it was stolen？What a pity！'
亨利勋爵一笑。"不，亲爱的多里安，杀人不会让你高兴，你喜欢与这不同的快乐，而且你决不会做晚饭后你不能谈论的事情。"他端起咖啡："巴兹尔给你画的那幅精美画像怎么样了？我好多年没看见它了。你是不是告诉过我画像被偷了？多可惜啊！"
'Oh，I never really liked it，'said Dorian．'I prefer not to think about it．'
"哦，我从没真正喜欢过它。"多里安说，"我宁愿不想起它。"
For a while the two men were silent．Then the older man lay back in his chair and looked at Dorian with half-closed eyes．'Tell me how you have kept your youth and your wonderful beauty，Dorian．You must have some secret．I'm only ten years older than you，and I look like an old man．But you haven't changed since the day when I first met you．What a wonderful life you've had！'
有一会儿两个人都没说话。过后年长些的那位靠在椅背上，用半睁的眼睛看着多里安。"告诉我你是怎么保持青春和美貌的，多里安。你一定有个秘密。我只比你大10岁，却看起来像个老人。可从我看见你的第一天起，你一点也没变，你的生活太妙了！"
'Yes，'said Dorian slowly，'it's been wonderful，Harry，but I'm going to change it now． You don't know everything about me．'
"是的，"多里安缓慢地说，"是太妙了，哈里。可我要改变这种生活。并不是我的每件事情你都知道。"
His friend smiled．'You cannot change to me， Dorian．You and I will always be friends．'
他的朋友笑了，"对我来说，你变不了，多里安。你和我将永远是朋友。"
Dorian stood up．'I'm tired tonight， Harry． I must go home．I'll see you at lunch tomorrow．Goodnight．'
多里安站起身，"今晚我累了，哈里，我得回家了。明天午饭时见，晚安。"
At the door he stopped for a moment and looked back， but then he turned and went out without another word．
在门边他停了片刻，回头看了看，就转身出去了，一句话没说。
