I neither expressed surprise at this resolution nor attempted to dissuade her from it.
我既沒有對她的決定表示驚奇，也沒有勸說她打消這個念頭。
"The vocation will fit you to a hair," I thought: "much good may it do you!"
“這一行對你再適合不過了，”我想，“但愿對你大有好處！”
When we parted, she said: "Good-bye, cousin Jane Eyre; I wish you well: you have some sense."
我們分手時她說：“再見，簡·愛表妹，祝你走運，你還是有些見識的。”
I then returned: "You are not without sense, cousin Eliza;
我隨后回答道：“你也不是沒有見識，伊麗莎表姐。
but what you have, I suppose, in another year will be walled up alive in a French convent.
但再過一年，我想你的稟賦會被活活地囚禁在法國修道院的圍墻之內。
However, it is not my business, and so it suits you, I don't much care."
不過這不是我的事兒，反正對你適合--我并不太在乎。”
"You are in the right," said she; and with these words we each went our separate way.
“你說得很對，”她說。我們彼此說了這幾句話后，便分道揚鑣了。
As I shall not have occasion to refer either to her or her sister again, I may as well mention here,
由于我沒有機會再提起她或她妹妹了，我不妨在這兒說一下吧，
that Georgiana made an advantageous match with a wealthy worn-out man of fashion,
喬治亞娜在婚事上得以高攀，嫁給了上流社會一個年老力衰的有錢男子。
and that Eliza actually took the veil,
伊麗莎果真做了修女，
and is at this day superior of the convent where she passed the period of her novitiate,
度過了一段見習期后，現在做了修道院院長，
and which she endowed with her fortune.
并把全部財產贈給了修道院。
