Chinese → English CHAPTER II. Level 7/10

约翰·达什伍德太太如今以诺兰庄园女主人的身份入主其中;她的婆母和小姑们则被降格为寄居的访客。

Mrs. John Dashwood now installed herself mistress of Norland; and her mother and sisters-in-law were degraded to the condition of visitors.

尽管如此,她待她们倒也彬彬有礼;而她的丈夫则尽其所能地表现出善意——尽管他心中真正在乎的,不过是他自己、他的妻子和他们的孩子。

As such, however, they were treated by her with quiet civility; and by her husband with as much kindness as he could feel towards anybody beyond himself, his wife, and their child.

他确实颇为诚恳地劝她们把诺兰当作自己的家;而达什伍德太太也觉得留在那里、等待在附近寻到一处合适的住所,是眼下最为可行的安排,便接受了他的邀请。

He really pressed them, with some earnestness, to consider Norland as their home; and, as no plan appeared so eligible to Mrs. Dashwood as remaining there till she could accommodate herself with a house in the neighbourhood, his invitation was accepted.

继续留在这个处处勾起昔日欢乐回忆的地方,正合她的心意。

A continuance in a place where everything reminded her of former delight, was exactly what suited her mind.

每逢心情愉悦之时,她的性情便格外开朗,那种对幸福的热切期盼溢于言表——而这种期盼本身便是一种幸福。

In seasons of cheerfulness, no temper could be more cheerful than hers, or possess, in a greater degree, that sanguine expectation of happiness which is happiness itself.

然而一旦陷入悲伤,她又同样会被情绪所左右,就像她在欢乐中无法自持一样,在痛苦中也难以得到任何慰藉。

But in sorrow she must be equally carried away by her fancy, and as far beyond consolation as in pleasure she was beyond alloy.

约翰·达什伍德太太对丈夫打算为几个妹妹所做的事,一点儿也不赞成。

Mrs. John Dashwood did not at all approve of what her husband intended to do for his sisters.

从他们可爱的小儿子的财产中拿走三千英镑,简直会让孩子贫困到令人心惊的地步。

To take three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear little boy would be impoverishing him to the most dreadful degree.

她恳求他重新考虑这件事。他怎么能对得起自己的良心,去剥夺自己的孩子——他唯一的孩子——如此一大笔财富呢?

She begged him to think again on the subject. How could he answer it to himself to rob his child, and his only child too, of so large a sum?
