"You are welcome to all my confidence that is worth having, Jane; but for God's sake, don't desire a useless burden!
“凡是一切值得知道的隱秘，簡(jiǎn)，都?xì)g迎你知道。不過(guò)看在上帝面上，不要追求無(wú)用的負(fù)擔(dān)！
Don't long for poison -- don't turn out a downright Eve on my hands!"
不要向往毒藥--不要變成由我照管的十十足足的夏娃！”
"Why not, sir? You have just been telling me how much you liked to be conquered,
“干嘛不呢，先生？你剛才還告訴我，你多么高興被我征服，
and how pleasant over-persuasion is to you.
多么喜歡被我強(qiáng)行說(shuō)服。
Don't you think I had better take advantage of the confession, and begin and coax and entreat
你難道不認(rèn)為，我不妨可利用一下你的表白，開(kāi)始哄呀，求呀，必要時(shí)甚至
even cry and be sulky if necessary -- for the sake of a mere essay of my power?"
還可哭哭鬧鬧，板起面孔--只不過(guò)為了嘗試一下我的力量？”
"I dare you to any such experiment. Encroach, presume, and the game is up."
“看你敢不敢做這樣的試驗(yàn)。步步進(jìn)犯，肆無(wú)忌憚，那就一切都完了。”
"Is it, sir? You soon give in. How stern you look now!
“是嗎，先生？你很快就變卦了。這會(huì)兒你的表情多么嚴(yán)厲！
Your eyebrows have become as thick as my finger,
你的眉頭已皺得跟我的手指一般粗，
and your forehead resembles what, in some very astonishing poetry, I once saw styled, 'a blue-piled thunderloft.'
你的前額像某些驚人詩(shī)篇所描寫(xiě)的那樣猶如‘烏云重疊的雷霆。’
That will be your married look, sir, I suppose?"
我想那就是你結(jié)婚以后的神氣了，先生？”
"If that will be your married look, I, as a Christian,
“如果你結(jié)婚后是那付樣子，像我這樣的基督徒，
will soon give up the notion of consorting with a mere sprite or salamander.
會(huì)立刻打消同無(wú)非是個(gè)小妖精或者水蛇廝混的念頭。
But what had you to ask, thing, out with it?"
不過(guò)你該要什么呢，伙計(jì)？說(shuō)出來(lái)吧？”
"There, you are less than civil now; and I like rudeness a great deal better than flattery.
“瞧，這會(huì)兒連禮貌也不講了，我喜歡魯莽，遠(yuǎn)勝于奉承。
I had rather be a thing than an angel. This is what I have to ask.
我寧愿做個(gè)伙計(jì)，也不愿做天使。我該問(wèn)的就是。
Why did you take such pains to make me believe you wished to marry Miss Ingram?"
你為什么煞費(fèi)苦心要我相信，你希望娶英格拉姆小姐？”
