Den forunderlige historie om Dr. Jekyll og Mr. Hyde

Hr. Utterson, advokaten, havde et hårdt ansigt, der aldrig smilede.

Mr. Utterson the lawyer had a rough face that never smiled.

Han var kold og akavet, når han talte, og han viste ikke sine følelser.

He was cold and awkward when he talked, and he did not show his feelings.

Han var tynd, høj, kedelig og en smule tør, men folk holdt af ham alligevel.

He was thin, tall, dull, and a little boring, but people still liked him.

Ved venlige selskaber, når han nød vin, kunne man se noget meget menneskeligt i hans øjne.

At friendly meetings, when he enjoyed wine, you could see something very human in his eyes.

Denne følelse viste sig aldrig i hans ord. Den viste sig i hans ansigt efter middagen, og også i hans venlige handlinger.

This feeling never showed in his words. It showed on his face after dinner, and also in his kind actions.

Han var meget streng med sig selv.

He was very strict with himself.

Når han var alene, drak han gin i stedet for god vin, for at straffe sig selv for at holde for meget af god vin.

When he was alone, he drank gin instead of good wine, to punish himself for liking good wine too much.
