It was now as it had been eight months ago—Adam was forcing Arthur to feel more intensely the irrevocableness of his own wrong-doing.

现在就像八个月前一样——亚当迫使亚瑟更加强烈地感受到他自己的错误行为是无法挽回的。

He stood like an immovable obstacle against which no pressure could avail; an embodiment of what Arthur most shrank from believing in—the irrevocableness of his own wrongdoing.

他站在那里就像一个无法移动的障碍，任何压力都无法抵挡。亚瑟最不敢相信的东西的化身——他自己的错误行为是无法挽回的。
