"And what will you do, Janet, while I am bargaining for so many tons of flesh and such an assortment of black eyes?"
“珍妮特，我在為無數噸肉和各類黑色眼睛討價還價時，你會干什么呢？”
"I'll be preparing myself to go out as a missionary to preach liberty to them that are enslaved
“我會收拾行裝，出去當個傳教士，向那些被奴役的人，
your harem inmates amongst the rest.
你的三宮六院們，宣揚自由。
I'll get admitted there, and I'll stir up mutiny; and you, three-tailed bashaw as you are, sir,
我會進入后宮，鼓動造反。縱然你是三尾帕夏，
shall in a trice find yourself fettered amongst our hands:
轉眼之間，你會被我們的人戴上鐐銬，
nor will I, for one, consent to cut your bonds till you have signed a charter,
除非你簽署一個憲章，有史以來的專制君王所簽發的最寬容的憲章，
the most liberal that despot ever yet conferred."
不然至少我是不會同意砸爛鐐銬的。”
"I would consent to be at your mercy, Jane."
“我同意聽你擺布，盼你開恩，簡。”
"I would have no mercy, Mr. Rochester, if you supplicated for it with an eye like that.
“要是你用那種目光來懇求，羅切斯特先生，那我不會開恩。
While you looked so, I should be certain that whatever charter you might grant under coercion,
我敢肯定，只要你擺出那付面孔，無論你在被迫的情況下同意哪種憲章，
your first act, when released, would be to violate its conditions."
你獲釋后要干的第一件事，便是破壞憲章的條件。”
