"Elinor, "criedMarianne, "isthisfair?isthisjust?aremyideassoscanty?ButIseewhatyoumean.Ihavebeentoomuchatmyease,toohappy,toofrank.Ihaveerredagainsteverycommon-placenotionofdecorum;IhavebeenopenandsincerewhereIoughttohavebeenreserved,spiritless,dull,anddeceitful--hadItalkedonlyoftheweatherandtheroads,andhadIspokenonlyonceintenminutes,thisreproachwouldhavebeenspared. "

“埃丽诺,”玛丽安嚷道,“这样说公平吗?合理吗?我的思想就这么贫乏?不过,我明白你的意思。我一直太自在,太快活,太坦率了。我违背了拘泥礼节的陈腐观念!我不该那么坦率,那么诚挚,而应该沉默寡言,无精打采,呆头呆脑,虚虚掩掩。我假若只是谈谈天气马路,而且十分钟开一次口,那就不会遭此非难。”

"Mylove, "saidhermother, "youmustnotbeoffendedwithElinor--shewasonlyinjest.Ishouldscoldhermyself,ifshewerecapableofwishingtocheckthedelightofyourconversationwithournewfriend. "--Mariannewassoftenedinamoment.

“我的乖孩子,”她母亲说,“你不该生埃丽诺的气——她不过是开开玩笑。她要是真想阻止你和我们新结识的朋友快乐地交谈,我还要骂她呢。”顿时,玛丽安又变得心平气和了。

再看看威洛比。他处处表明,能结识她们委实使他感到荣幸。显而易见,他热切希望进一步改善这种关系。他每天都来登门拜访。起先,他以问候玛丽安为借口。但是,她们一天天待他越来越亲切,使他深受鼓舞,没等玛丽安的身体完全复原,这种借口已经大可不必了。玛丽安在屋里关了几天,但是从来没有关得这样少有烦恼。威洛比是个十分精干的小伙子,他思路敏捷,精力旺盛,性格开朗,感情充沛。他有这样的气质,正中玛丽安的心意;因为他把这些气质不仅和他那副迷人的仪表,而且和他那颗火热的心结合了起来。这颗心如今为玛丽安的心所激励,变得更加火热,博得了她的无比钟情。

Hissocietybecamegraduallyhermostexquisiteenjoyment.Theyread,theytalked,theysangtogether;hismusicaltalentswereconsiderable;andhereadwithallthesensibilityandspiritwhichEdwardhadunfortunatelywanted.

和他在一起逐渐成为她的最大乐趣。他们一起读书,一起交谈,一起唱歌。他有相当高的音乐才能,读起书来也充满感情,富有生气,这正是爱德华不幸所缺少的。
