A matchmaker is someone who tries to encourage(鼓勵(lì)) people they know to form a romantic relationship or to get married（結(jié)婚）.

Here is an example:
My friend played matchmaker and had us both over to dinner.
我朋友牽線搭橋，把我們兩個(gè)都請(qǐng)去赴宴了。

小說(shuō)的開(kāi)頭是這樣描述的："Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition（性情）, seemed to unite（聯(lián)合，兼?zhèn)洌?some of the best blessings（祝福，福分） of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress（悲痛） or vex（使煩惱） her."

簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，Emma Woodhouse 就是一個(gè)熱心活潑心地善良的白富美。She believes she is a skilled matchmaker and repeatedly attempts to pair up her friends and acquaintances（相識(shí)的人）.


女主有了，男主當(dāng)然也不能少：Mr Knightley is Emma's only social and intellectual equal in Highbury.那時(shí)，在等級(jí)分明的英格蘭，He has known Emma since she was a baby. He is an individual獨(dú)特的, quick-witted機(jī)智的 gentleman, with a dry sense of humour冷幽默.
