This is the estimation in which you hold me! I thank you for explaining it so fully. My faults, according to this calculation, are heavy indeed! But perhaps," added he, stopping in his walk, and turning towards her, "these offences might have been overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design.
謝謝你解釋得這樣周到。這樣看來，我真是罪孽孽深重！不過，”他止住了步，轉過身來對她說：“只怪我老老實實地把我以前一誤再誤、遲疑不決的原因說了出來，所以傷害了你自尊心，否則你也許就不會計較我得罪你的這些地方了。
These bitter accusations might have been suppressed, had I with greater policy concealed my struggles, and flattered you into the belief of my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination by reason, by reflection, by every thing. But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence. Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related.
要是我信我無論在理智方面、思想方面、以及種種方面，都是對你懷著無條件的、純潔的愛，那么，你也許就不會有這些苛刻的責罵了。可惜無論是什么樣的裝假，我都痛恨。我剛才所說出的這些顧慮，我也并不以為可恥。
They were natural and just. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections?
這些顧慮是自然的，正確的。難道你指望我會為你那些微賤的親戚而歡欣鼓舞嗎？
To congratulate myself on the hope of relations, whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?"
難道你以為，我要是攀上了這么些社會地位遠不如我的親戚，倒反而會自己慶幸嗎？”
