Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 1
我借《简·爱》第三版出版之机，再次向公众说明，我作为小说家的身份仅凭这一部作品而立。
I avail myself of the opportunity which a third edition of "Jane Eyre" affords me, of again addressing a word to the Public, to explain that my claim to the title of novelist rests on this one work alone.
因此，若有其他虚构作品被归于我名下，那是将荣誉授予了不该得之人；与此同时，真正应得此誉者反而被剥夺了应有的认可。
If, therefore, the authorship of other works of fiction has been attributed to me, an honour is awarded where it is not merited; and consequently, denied where it is justly due.
此番说明旨在纠正已有的误解，并防止日后再生谬误。
This explanation will serve to rectify mistakes which may already have been made, and to prevent future errors.
