Georgiana added to her "How d' ye do?" several commonplaces about my journey, the weather, and so on,
加了幾句關于旅途和天氣之類的寒喧，
uttered in rather a drawling tone, and accompanied by sundry side-glances that measured me from head to foot
說話時慢聲慢氣，還不時側眼看我，從頭打量到腳
now traversing the folds of my drab merino pelisse, and now lingering on the plain trimming of my cottage bonnet.
目光一會兒落在黃褐色美利奴毛皮外衣的褶縫上，一會停留在我鄉間小帽的普通飾物上。
Young ladies have a remarkable way of letting you know that they think you a "quiz" without actually saying the words.
年輕小姐們自有一套高明的辦法，讓你知道她認為你“可笑”而不必說出那兩個字來。
A certain superciliousness of look, coolness of manner, nonchalance of tone,
某種高傲的神態，冷淡與舉止和漠然的聲調，
express fully their sentiments on the point, without committing them by any positive rudeness in word or deed.
就充分表達了她們的情感，而不必借助十足粗魯的言行。
A sneer, however, whether covert or open, had now no longer that power over me it once possessed.
然而無論是明嘲還是暗諷，對我已失去了一度有過的影響力。
As I sat between my cousins, I was surprised to find how easy I felt under the total neglect of the one
我坐在兩位表姐妹中間，驚訝地發現自己對一位的完全怠慢，
and the semi-sarcastic attentions of the other,
另一位半帶嘲弄的殷勤處之泰然，
Eliza did not mortify, nor Georgiana ruffle me.
伊麗莎傷不了我的感情，喬治亞娜也沒有使我生氣。
The fact was, I had other things to think about.
事實上我有別的事情要想。
Within the last few months feelings had been stirred in me so much more potent than any they could raise,
最近幾個月里，我內心被喚起的感情，比她們所能煽起的要強烈得多
pains and pleasures so much more acute and exquisite had been excited than any it was in their power to inflict or bestow,
所激起的痛苦和歡樂要比她們所能加予和饋贈的要尖銳和激烈得多
that their airs gave me no concern either for good or bad.
她們的神態好歹與我無關。
"How is Mrs. Reed?" I asked soon, looking calmly at Georgiana,
“里德太太怎么樣了？”我立刻問道，鎮靜地瞧著喬治亞娜，
who thought fit to bridle at the direct address, as if it were an unexpected liberty.
而她認為我這樣直呼其名是應當嗤之以鼻的，仿佛這是種出乎意料的冒昧行為。
Mrs. Reed? Ah! mama, you mean; she is extremely poorly. I doubt if you can see her tonight.
里德太太？呵！你的意思說媽媽。她的情況極其糟糕，我懷疑你今晚是否能見她。
