天底下腰缠万贯的男人肯定少于有资格嫁到万贯之家的美女。

简·奥斯丁《曼斯菲尔德庄园》：

But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world,as there are pretty women to deserve them.

但是，天底下腰缠万贯的男人肯定少于有资格嫁到万贯之家的美女。

原文：

She had two sisters to be benefited by her elevation;and such of their acquaintance as thought Miss Ward and Miss Frances quite as handsome as Miss Maria,did not scruple to predict their marrying with almost equal advantage.But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world,as there are pretty women to deserve them.

她富贵起来，姐姐妹妹自然也该沾点光，熟人当中有些人认为她的姐姐华德小姐和妹妹法兰西丝小姐长得比玛利亚毫不逊色，因而断然料定，她们两人也会嫁给同样高贵的人家。但是，天底下腰缠万贯的男人肯定少于有资格嫁到万贯之家的美女。
