这些福尔赛家的人极少感情用事。

高尔斯华绥《有产业的人》:

There was little sentimentality about the Forsytes.

这些福尔赛家的人极少感情用事。

原文：

“Always a stubborn beggar, Nick!”

And as Nicholas expressed it to himself:

“Cantankerous chap Roger—always was!”

There was little sentimentality about the Forsytes. In that great London, which they had conquered and become merged in, what time had they to be sentimental?

“永远是个固执的混蛋！尼克。”

尼古拉也在跟自己说：

“永远是个跟人合不来的家伙，罗杰！”

这些福尔赛家的人极少感情用事。在这被他们征服了而且融合进去的大城市里，他们又哪有工夫来感情用事呢？
