名著爱情

Pride and prejuice

There is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost every attatchment, that it is not safe. to leave any to itself. We can all begin freely---a slight preference is natural enough; but there are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without enouragementj. In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better shew more affection than she feels.

男女恋爱大多含有感恩图报和爱慕虚荣的成分，因此听其自然是不保险的。开头可能丢很随便——略有点好感本是很自然地事情，但是很少有人能在没有受到对方鼓励的情况下，而敢于倾心相爱。十有八九，女人流露出来的情意，还有比心里感受的多一些。

Happiness un marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions od the parities are ever so well known to each other; or ever so similar before hand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always contrive to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible if the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.

婚姻幸福完全是个机遇问题。双方的脾气即使彼此非常熟悉，或者非常相似，也不会给双方增添丝毫的幸福。他们的脾气总是越来越不对劲，后来就引起了烦恼。你既然要和一个人过一辈子，最好尽量少了解他的缺点。

The sevice of love

But the best, in my opinion, was the home life in the little flat—the ardent, voluble chats after the day’s study; the cozy dinner and fresh, light breakfasts; the interchange of ambitions—ambitious interwoven each with the other’s or else inconsiderable—the mutual help and inspiration; and—overlook my artlesslnes—stuffed olived and cheese sandwiches at 11 P.M.

不过在我看来，最美好的事那小小的公寓里面的家庭生活，在学习了一天之后，那热情洋溢而又缠绵不以的谈话；那惬意的晚餐与新鲜、清淡的早饭；有关报负的交流—他们不光关心本人的，也关心对方的抱负，不然的话那就不足取了----相互的帮助与灵感；以及—原谅我的天真—在夜里十一点钟的时候去吃菜裹肉片与奶酪三明治。

On a spring evening

He would walk with her alone all day in the woods, by the stream, across the dewy field where the grass was studded with wild flowers. And they awaited the wedding day without too much impatience, but wrapped in each other, bathed in an exquisite tenderness, tasting the delightful charm of gentle caresses, of holding hands, of loving glances—such long ones that their souls seemed to mingle—and vaguely disturbed by the still unrealized desire of passionare embraces, feeling somewhat upset by lips that drew them toward each other, which seemed to watch and wait and promise.

唯独他和她一起，整天整天地漫步在树立里，倘祥在小河边，或穿越点缀着野花的湿漉漉的草地。他们等待着结婚的那一天，并非急不可耐，不过倒是被对方包裹起来，沐浴在一种细腻的温情里，品尝着的迷人魅力；柔情的抚摩、紧握的手、多情而长久得令两颗心仿佛要合二为一的注视；他们隐隐地受着一种尚不明确的对强烈拥抱的渴望，他们感觉到相互吸引的嘴唇都好像有些不安了，他们似乎在互相注视、互相等待、互相允诺。

A full-grown forest stretched into distance behind the pond, and above the new foliage of the great trees the moon had suddenly appeared.
