一个很有钱的独身女子,总是很令人敬重的。
奥斯汀《爱玛》:
a single woman, of good fortune, is always respectable.
一个很有钱的独身女子,总是很令人敬重的。
原文:
and it is poverty only which makes celibacy contemptible to a generous public! A single woman, with a very narrow income, must be a ridiculous, disagreeable old maid! the proper sport of boys and girls, but a single woman, of good fortune, is always respectable, and may be as sensible and pleasant as any body else.
只有穷困才使一般人轻视独身生活!一个没有多少收入的独身女子,必定是一个可笑的讨厌的老处女,小孩子们的嘲笑对象;但是,一个很有钱的独身女子,总是很令人敬重的,也可能同任何别人一样通情达理、令人愉快。
