They encouraged each other now in the violence of their affliction.
二人は今や激しい苦悩の中で、互いに励まし合っていた。
The agony of grief which overpowered them at first, was voluntarily renewed, was sought for, was created again and again.
最初に二人を圧倒した悲嘆の苦しみは、自ら進んで呼び起こされ、求められ、何度も何度も作り出された。
They gave themselves up wholly to their sorrow, seeking increase of wretchedness in every reflection that could afford it, and resolved against ever admitting consolation in future.
二人は悲しみに完全に身を委ね、そうする余地のあるあらゆる思いの中に不幸の増大を求め、将来においても決して慰めを受け入れまいと心に決めた。
Elinor, too, was deeply afflicted; but still she could struggle, she could exert herself.
エリナーもまた深く苦しんでいた。しかしそれでも彼女は懸命に努力し、自分を奮い立たせることができた。

Margaret, the other sister, was a good-humored, well-disposed girl; but as she had already imbibed a good deal of Marianne's romance, without having much of her sense, she did not, at thirteen, bid fair to equal her sisters at a more advanced period of life.
もう一人の妹マーガレットは、陽気で素直な少女だった。しかし彼女はすでにマリアンヌの夢想的な気質をかなり吸収していたが、マリアンヌほどの分別は持ち合わせていなかったため、十三歳の時点では、将来において姉たちに並ぶほどになるとは思われなかった。
