The_Wedding
婚礼
In the spring of the following year, Hareton asked Cathy to marry him. They were standing in the flower field they had planted together, surrounded by the bright colors they had worked so hard to grow.
凯西和哈里顿的婚礼在呼啸山庄的花园里举行。天空晴朗,阳光明媚,荒原上的花开得格外鲜艳。
'I love you, Cathy,' Hareton said, his voice filled with emotion. 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you.'
凯西穿着白色连衣裙,手捧一束野花。哈里顿穿着干净的西装,看起来英俊而自信。他们的脸上洋溢着幸福和爱。
Cathy's eyes filled with tears. 'I love you too, Hareton,' she answered. 'You are the kindest, most wonderful man I have ever known.'
他们交换戒指,许下永恒的承诺。"我会爱你一辈子,"凯西说,"我会照顾你,保护你,让你永远不感到孤独。"
They were married in the little church near Wuthering Heights, with Mrs. Dean as their witness. It was a simple, beautiful ceremony, very different from the arranged marriage that had trapped Cathy with Linton.
"我也会,"哈里顿说,"我会让你快乐,让你感受到被爱的温暖。"
Cathy wore a white dress, and Hareton looked handsome in a new suit. They stood before the altar and promised to love and honor each other for the rest of their lives. As they said their vows, Mrs. Dean wiped tears from her eyes.
迪恩太太在旁边哭,但这次是幸福的泪水。她看到凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫的故事终于有了正确的结局——不是在悲剧和仇恨中,而是在爱和幸福中。
After the ceremony, they held a celebration at Thrushcross Grange. The house was decorated with flowers, and guests from the village came to wish them well. Everyone commented on how happy they looked together.
所有的邻居都来参加婚礼。他们看到呼啸山庄的新主人,年轻、善良、相爱,都很高兴。曾经的黑暗和仇恨终于消失了,取而代之的是光明和希望。
For the first time in many years, both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange were filled with laughter and joy. The dark days of Heathcliff were over, and a new, happier era had begun.
"这是新的开始,"哈里顿对凯西说,"我们的故事将和他们的不同。我们的故事会有幸福的结局。"
Mrs. Dean, who had seen so much suffering and death in the house, felt a sense of peace. The young couple had broken the cycle of hatred and revenge, and they had found a love that was healthy and good.
Cathy and Hareton danced together in the grand hall of Thrushcross Grange, their faces filled with happiness. They looked like the beginning of something new, something that would grow and flourish over the years.
The ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff were finally at rest, and the living could now move forward into the future.
