"Her feelings are concentrated in one -- pride; and that needs humbling. Were you jealous, Jane?"
“她的感情集于一點--自負。那就需要把她的氣焰壓下去。你妒嫉了嗎，簡？”
"Never mind, Mr. Rochester: it is in no way interesting to you to know that.
“別管了，羅切斯特先生。你是不在乎知道這個的的。
Answer me truly once more.
再次老實回答我。
Do you think Miss Ingram will not suffer from your dishonest coquetry? Won't she feel forsaken and deserted?"
你不認為你不光彩的調情會使英格拉姆小姐感到痛苦嗎？難道她不會有被遺棄的感覺嗎？”
"Impossible! -- when I told you how she, on the contrary, deserted me:
“不可能！我曾同你說過，相反是她拋棄了我，
the idea of my insolvency cooled, or rather extinguished, her flame in a moment."
一想到我無力還債，她的熱情頓時一落千丈，化為烏有。”
"You have a curious, designing mind, Mr. Rochester.
“你有一個奇怪而工于心計的頭腦，羅切斯特先生。
I am afraid your principles on some points are eccentric."
恐怕你在某些方面的人生準則有違常理。”
"My principles were never trained, Jane: they may have grown a little awry for want of attention."
“我的準則從來沒有受過調教，簡。由于缺乏照應，難免會出差錯。”
"Once again, seriously; may I enjoy the great good that has been vouchsafed to me,
“再嚴肅問一遍，我可以享受向我擔保的巨大幸福，
without fearing that any one else is suffering the bitter pain I myself felt a while ago?"
而不必擔心別人也像我剛才一樣蒙受劇痛嗎？”
"That you may, my good little girl:
“你可以，我的好小姑娘。
there is not another being in the world has the same pure love for me as yourself
世上沒有第二個人對我懷著同你一樣純潔的愛，
for I lay that pleasant unction to my soul, Jane, a belief in your affection."
因為我把那愉快的油膏，也就是對你的愛的信任，貼到了我的心坎上。”
