methought methinks 的過去式。

methoxide

What have i done to be thus us d ? my conscience presently check d me in that enquiry , as if i had blasphem d , and methought it spoke to me like a voice ; wretch ! dost thou ask what thou hast done 這時,我的良心立刻制止我提出這樣的問題,好像我褻瀆了神明我好像聽到良心對我說: “你這罪孽深重的人啊,你竟還要問你作下了什么壞事?

Methought - o hester , what a thought is that , and how terrible to dread it ! - that my own features were partly repeated in her face , and so strikingly that the world might see them 我認為,噢,海絲特,這是個什么樣的念頭,而且產生這種顧慮又是多么可怕啊!我自己的一部分面容重現在她的臉上,而且那么酷似,我真怕人們會認出來!

“ methought the germ of it was dead in me ! o hester , thou art my better angel “我還以為喜悅的胚胎已經在我心中死掉了呢1嗅,海絲特,你可真是我的好天使呢!
