愛瑪·伍德豪斯出生在陽光明媚之時 Emma Woodhouse was born with the sun shining.

父親總是杞人憂天 to a father who always expected the worst.

母親總是無憂無慮 and a carefree mother,

但她的笑容愛瑪已經忘卻 whose smile Emma was not to remember.

一天 最可怕的事真的降臨 One day, the worst did happen.

當伍德豪斯先生看著自己的妻子最後一次離開家 And as he watched his wife leave home for the last time,

他在心裏暗暗決定 Mr Woodhouse resolved never to

永遠不讓女兒們離開自己的視線 let his daughters out of sight again,

除非是在那個家庭教師的悉心照看下 except under the careful eye of their governess.

安·泰勒 Ann Taylor.

於是 愛瑪繼續生活在明媚的陽光下 And so the sun continued to shine brightly on Emma.

我們必須快點 佩裏醫生 她快不行了 We must hurry, Dr Perry, she has taken a turn for the worse.

走吧 愛瑪 Come along, Emma.

但是海伯裏的其他孩子就沒有這麼幸運了 But other children in Highbury were not so fortunate.

小弗蘭克·韋斯頓的世界天翻地覆 Young Frank Westons world was turned upside down.

我會帶走孩子撫養 韋斯頓先生 I will take the child, Mr Weston,

為了我的傻妹妹 for the sake of my foolish sister.

但是他以後都要跟我過 But he will live with me always

並且改姓丘吉爾 and his name will be Frank Churchill.

小簡·費爾法克斯的人生也遁入不同的軌跡 And little Jane Fairfaxs life was never to be the same

因為她姨媽家道中落 when her aunt fell on hard times.

讓簡走 對我們大家都好 Its for the best, we must let Jane go.

坎貝爾上尉家境殷實 Captain Campbell is very well set up,

他可以讓她受教育 我們卻無力負擔 he will give her the education we cannot.

但是我們不能把孩子送走 我們的小寶貝兒 But we cant let the child go. Our lovely little girl...

我們很快就要搬家了 搬到寒磣的小房子裏 We will have to leave this house soon, for one smaller.

我們發過誓要讓簡得到最好的 We promised that we would do our best for Jane.

記住 簡 要多給我們寫信 Now remember, Jane, you write to us as often as you can.

你一定會在任何方面都很優秀 You will become wonderfully accomplished at everything.

坎貝爾上尉並不嚇人 Captain Campbell is not frightening.

要做個乖孩子 簡 Be a good girl, Jane.

因此 簡和弗蘭克被迫離開了海伯裏 And so Jane and Frank were forced to leave Highbury

把自己的未來交付給陌生人 and trust their fortune to strangers.

-看 -而愛瑪舒適地留在家裏 - Look! - While Emma stayed comfortably at home.

不需要為任何事哀傷或煩惱 with very little to distress or vex her...

她要去哪裏 泰勒小姐 Where she going, Miss Taylor?

怡然度過多年美好時光 for many years to come.

坎貝爾小姐擔心 Miss Campbell was afraid that perhaps,

也許她們年齡太小了 they were too young,

但是簡冰雪聰明 踏實專心 but Janes very keen, when she applies herself.

她總是機敏過人 向來如此 She always excels, always has done.

簡還說他們要去海邊了 And then Jane says they are to go to the seaside.

很棒吧 不是嗎 泰勒小姐 Isnt that splendid, Miss Taylor?

噓 愛瑪對海邊尚一無所知 Shh, Emma doesnt know anything about the seaside,

這種事最好不要讓小孩子知道 Its best the children dont.

簡的字寫得漂亮極了 Oh. Janes handwriting is so very accomplished.

沒有她做不到的事 There is nothing she cannot do.

她在所有方面都很優秀 所有方面 我真的很高興 She excels at everything, everything. I'm so glad,

我從來沒有懷疑過 There was never a moments doubt that

坎貝爾上校會把簡視如己出 Colonel Campbell would look after her as his own daughter.

離開我們 是對她來說最幸運的事 Going away was the best thing that happened to her.

不是嗎 媽媽 Wasnt it, Mother?

簡還說 她和坎貝爾小姐 And then Jane says that she and Miss Campbell

開始學習彈鋼琴了 have begun learning the pianoforte.

坎貝爾上校有一架非常大的方形鋼琴 Colonel Campbell has a very large square.

[七年後]

她為前來赴宴的客人們演奏 She played to the dinner guests.

我有沒有說過簡彈得有多好 泰勒小姐 Did I tell you how well Jane plays, Miss Taylor?

而且她的法語說的與法國人無異 And she speaks French like a native though

不過我倒覺得不一定是什麼好事兒 I'm not sure thats such a sensible thing.

我要請奈特利先生教我漢語 I'm going to ask Mr Knightley to teach me Chinese.

你覺得簡會漢語嗎 Do you think Jane could read Chinese?

當然 我相信她會的 Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure she could.

我原以為漢語是倒著念的 I thought it was backwards.

我相信簡可以學會任何事 I'm sure Jane is equal to anything.

我有沒有說過 Did I tell you

她列了一份100本書的書單 已經讀到一半了 she is halfway through her reading list of at least 100 titles.

100本 100.

我想你是來勸我別學漢語的 I suppose youve come to tell me off about the Chinese.

那個我聽說了 Yes, I heard about that.

我相信貝茨小姐沒有生氣 但是你應該 I'm sure Miss Bates wasnt upset, but you should...

對她友好些 Be kind to her.

我知道我知道 泰勒小姐總是那麼說 Yes, yes, I know! Thats just what Miss Taylor keeps telling me.

簡是孤兒 貝茨小姐現在很落魄 Jane is an orphan and Miss Bates has come down in the world

我也確實盡力了 and I do try.

只不過簡每周寫一封信給她姨媽 Its just that Jane seems to write to her aunt every week

每次她都有 and she seems to gain

至少八項成績要匯報 at least eight accomplishments between one and the next.

貝茨小姐每周都要過來 And Miss Bates comes here every week to

-講給我們聽 -愛瑪 - Tell us about them. - Emma!

你在幹嗎 What are you doing?

我也列了一份書單 Ive compiled a list of books to read.

101本 101 titles.

這樣我和簡·費爾法克斯比起來 So that I might not be so uneducated

也不會顯得太沒文化 compared to Jane Fairfax.

-看 我已經開始讀了 -彌爾頓的書 很不錯 - Oh, see I have started. - Milton. impressive. Mmm.

這是書單上的第一本 It is the first on the list.

又是約翰和伊莎貝拉 There are John and Isabella again.

他們簡直讓人難以置信 They are impossible.

我相信簡·費爾法克斯在我擅長的方面 I'm sure Jane Fairfax is not remotely good

肯定比我遜色 at things I do well.

她也許擅長文學和音樂 但是觀察人 She may excel at words and music but, but people,

他們的希望 夢想 抱負 their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations,

那就是我的專長了 There I am the expert.

是嗎 我覺得你都看不出來 Really? I dont imagine you could even tell us

我們有沒有希望和夢想 if we've got any hopes and dreams?

沒說你 傻瓜 Not you, silly.

你又沒有浪漫細胞 但是 Youre not the romantic sort... but, er...

但是我姐姐和你哥哥 but my sister and your brother.

約翰和伊莎貝拉 怎麼可能 John and Isabella?! Surely not.

當然可能 這是我半年以來最殷切的願望 Surely yes. Its been my express wish and intent for six months now.

他們從小就認識了 But they have known each other all their lives,

就像你和我一樣 事實上 比我們更久 as long as you and I. In fact, longer.

沒錯 所以需要一點小小的催化劑 Indeed, so a little careful prodding was necessary.

如果 我是說如果 他們喜歡對方到想結婚的程度 If, if they like each other enough to marry

那也是他們自己的願望 不是你的 It will be because they themselves wish it, not because you do.

我覺得他們之間沒什麼 But I think theres nothing in it.

是你弄錯了 一如往常 You are mistaken, as always.

我 伊莎貝拉·伍德豪斯願意 I, Isabella Woodhouse take thee,

約翰·奈特利 成為我的合法丈夫 John Knightley, to be my wedded husband.

倫敦 London.

倫敦 倫敦離得那麼遠 London, all the way to London

簡直像月亮一樣遙不可及 might as well be the moon.

我會照顧你的 I will look after you.

一切都會和以前一樣 All will be as before.

湊巧而已 Lucky guess.

才不是湊巧呢 Nothing lucky about it.

全憑天賦和直覺 Just talent and intuition.

好吧 誰會是下一個新娘呢 Right, who will be next?

讓我看看 I wonder.

時間流逝 And so the years passed

四季輪迴 and the seasons change...

我們感謝 and we give thanks to

主的仁慈 the Lord for his mercy.

在《聖經》當中 And in the Lord's own book

我們找到了向自然奇跡的感激之辭 we find the words to voice our thanks for these natural wonders.

救贖之神 God of salvation...

您是地球末日之時所有生靈的希望 you who are the hope of all the ends of the Earth,

您的神力 by whose power...

早上好 埃爾頓先生 Good morning, Mr Elton.

早上好 伍德豪斯小姐 願你身體健康 Good morning, Miss Woodhouse. I trust you are in good health.

我很好 謝謝 Very well, thank you.

早上好 韋斯頓先生 Good morning, Mr Weston.

-你好 親愛的 -韋斯頓先生 - Yes, my dear. - Mr Weston.

今天早上我最終確定 And the more so for this very morning

要買下蘭德爾斯的房產 I have finally secured the purchase of Randalls estate.

恭喜你 那是棟好房子 Oh, congratulations! It is such a fine house

而且離我們在哈特菲爾德的家很近 and so close to us at Hartfield.

我們會是鄰居 We will be neighbours.

弗蘭克·丘吉爾先生覺得怎麼樣 What does Mr Frank Churchill think about this?

他離家多年 也該回來了吧 Surely he must come home, at long last,

來拜訪一下我們 再看看你的新房子 to visit us and to see your new house?

我已經寫信給他了 I have written to hI'm already.

不用擔心 女士們 Dont worry, ladies,

在春天散步的時候我總會多準備一把傘 I always bring a spare umbrella with me for spring walks.

我們欠你一個人情 韋斯頓先生 We are in your debt, Mr Weston.

怎能讓您準備了兩把傘還被淋濕呢 But a man with two umbrellas cannot get wet.

我相信你那把大傘 足夠你們一起撐了 I'm sure theres room under the large one, for both of you.

泰勒小姐 希望我有這個榮幸 Miss Taylor, it would be an honour

邀請你來蘭德爾斯做客 to receive you one day, at Randalls...

-我很樂意 韋斯頓先生 -太好了 - I would be delighted, Mr Weston. - Splendid.

天哪 天哪 Oh, dear, oh, dear!

可憐的泰勒小姐 Poor Miss Taylor!

你不能再做這種事了 You must stop this at once,

愛瑪 為別人牽線搭橋 Emma, this matchmaking.

這是可憐的泰勒小姐的最大不幸 It is of the greatest misfortune for poor Miss Taylor.

想想看 她已經來我們家17年了 Just think, shes been with us and our family for 17 years.

她本可以永遠住在我們家 She might have stayed here till she died!

都怪你多此一舉 If youd left well alone.

不幸 現在她的未來一片光明 Misfortune!? But now she has the greatest future ahead,

她有了丈夫 有了房子 甚至可能有孩子 a husband she loves, a house and maybe even a family.

孩子 當然不會 A family! Surely not?

你怎麼能否定這一點呢 Surely you would not deny her that,

長期以來她把我們照顧得那麼好 shes looked after us so well and for so long?

母親會死去 那是不變的真理 Mothers die and that is a fact.

泰勒小姐不年輕了 Miss Taylor is not young.

親愛的 你就不應該亂牽紅線的 Oh, dear, you should not make matches

或者作出預言的 or predictions.

不幸的是它們都成真了 Unfortunately they all come true.

大家都說韋斯頓先生不會再婚了 Everybody said that Mr Weston would never remarry.

但是從他們那天共撐一把傘開始 Yet I knew from that day with the umbrellas

我就知道他會娶泰勒小姐的 這是我最大的成功 that he would marry Miss Taylor. It is my greatest success!

成功 你是怎麼定義成功的 Success?! And how do you reckon that?

成功意味著努力 Success implies endeavour.

你只是自言自語說 "如果泰勒小姐 Just saying to yourself, "I think it would be a fine thing

和韋斯頓先生結婚 那真是件喜事" if Miss Taylor and Mr Weston were to marry,"

然後不時地向自己重複一遍 and then repeating it to yourself every so often

和你真正促成事情的發生是不一樣的 is not the same as bringing it about.

就在韋斯頓先生買下蘭德爾斯 Just at the moment when Mr Weston bought Randalls and

考慮要怎麼裝飾的時候 was considering how to fill it,

我就已經開始了計劃 I was there to smooth the way.

剛剛好 Ah, just in time.

愛瑪正把你比作一條新窗簾 或一張沙發 Emma was in the process of likening you to some new drapes or a sofa.

我想我該說恭喜你 I believe congratulations are in order.

我們有太多事情要計劃 Oh, we have so much to plan for,

當然 哈特菲爾德就是你的娘家 of course, as Hartfield is as much your home as mine,

我們就在這裏舉行婚禮 we will have the wedding here.

那麼就要製作賓客名單 Then there is the guest list to compile.

弗蘭克·丘吉爾也會出席嗎 Will Frank Churchill be coming?

他寫信來祝賀我們 Well, he has written to congratulate us and

並且保證說會出席 assures us he will be here.

想必也如此 You would think so.

無論如何 他也該出席父親的婚禮吧 It would be the least he could do for his father.

還有蛋糕需要考慮 Oh, then there is the cake to think about.

不 不行 不要蛋糕 絕對不行 Oh, no, no, no cake, surely not!

必須有啊 父親 Well, yes, Father.

-你總不希望大家說您吝嗇吧 -吝嗇 - You would not wish to appear ungenerous. - Ungenerous?

慷慨是我人生的信條 I am the soul of generosity!

沒錯 當然 所以一定要有蛋糕 Yes, of course you are, so there must be cake!

不行 蛋糕對你們不好 尤其是你們年輕人 No, no cake is bad for you, especially the young.

不要蛋糕 No cake.

詹姆斯 亨利 出去 James, Henry, out!

-給我過來 -不要 - Hey, come back here. - Never!

我不奇怪父親為什麼會為泰勒小姐擔心 I've no wonder Father is concerned for Miss Taylor.

畢竟她已經不再年輕 After all shes not young

還要再適應蘭德爾斯的新環境 and uprooting to Randalls,

雖然只有半英里 但還是完全不一樣了 though it is but half a mile, will be an upheaval for all.

可你嫁到了這裏 親愛的 You moved here, my love,

遙遠的倫敦 布朗斯維克廣場 all the way to Brunswick Square, London.

沒錯 原本我是絕不可能遠嫁倫敦的 Oh, yes, of course, but I would never have done so

多虧有愛瑪留下照顧父親 打點家裏 unless there was Emma to leave in charge of Hartfield and Father.

所以愛瑪永遠都不能結婚了嗎 So Emma must never be allowed to marry?

她也不想結婚 她也不需要 Well, she has no wish to. She does not need to.

不管怎麼說 丈夫喜歡指揮妻子做這做那 Anyway, a husband might expect to tell her what to do

她是絕對不願意的 and she wont like that at all.

她忙著為整個海伯裏的人做媒 She is busy marrying off the whole of Highbury to each other.

你回去時說不定會發現貝茨小姐都訂婚了 You will return to find Miss Bates engaged!

喬治叔叔 喬治叔叔 Uncle George, Uncle George!

是的 我知道 我懂 我保證過的 Yes, I know, I know, I promised.

放我下來 喬治叔叔 Put me down, Uncle George.

放我下來 Put me down!

佩裏醫生 我真希望自己說服愛瑪不要弄蛋糕的 Oh, Dr Perry, I do so wish I could have prevented the cake.

我知道你很不喜歡蛋糕 I know how strongly you disapprove.

我很抱歉弗蘭克最後還是沒能來 I'm so sorry that Frank was not able to come after all.

是啊 親愛的 他也很遺憾錯過婚禮 Yes, my dear. He was very sorry to miss the occasion.

他姨媽離不開他 His aunt could not spare him.

她病得很重 She is so very ill.

我想他這麼做是為了增加自己的神秘感 I think he does it to increase his mysteriousness.

他故意多年不回海伯裏 He deliberately has not come back to Highbury all these years,

幼年離家之後就一直未歸 since he was a little boy.

讓我們這些女孩子對他更加好奇和期待 We ladies can only be more intrigued and savour our anticipation,

憧憬他的拜訪 until he does visit,

我相信他很快就會返鄉的 肯定的 which will be very soon, I'm sure.

韋斯頓先生 Mr Weston.

雖然愛瑪從未向誰承認過 Though she would never have admitted it to anyone,

但她在那一瞬間 Emma felt, just for one moment,

有一種奇怪的感覺 a strange sensation,

也許 that maybe,

在自己的努力撮合之下 through her own endeavours,

有些東西將從此失去 不可復得 she was about to lose something that might never be recovered.

我們能吃一點嗎 求求你 Can we have some. Please!

不行 蛋糕不行 去玩去 No, cake, no cake, go away.

-爸爸 -怎麼了 - But, Father! - What?

孩子們當然可以吃蛋糕啊 The children are allowed to eat the cake.

蛋糕對他們不好 會讓他們太興奮 Its not good for them, makes them too excited.

他們就會跑來跑去 Then they run around.

現在 愛瑪 到此為止 Now, Emma, enough is enough.

不許你再亂牽紅線 No more match-making.

這所房子不能再承受一次分別了 This house cannot stand another departure.

當然 你父親說得很對 伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, certainly, your father is right, Miss Woodhouse.

這棟空空的老房子 This is a poor empty old house now

以後就只剩你和你父親了 theres just you and your father here.

一棟鬼屋 不知道你們晚上要怎麼睡得著 A ghost house. I wonder youll be able to sleep at night.

我和母親卻很開心 I am sure my mother and I are so very pleased

因為我們的小房子很舒適 that our little home is so very cosy.

我們沒空考慮自己是不是孤單 We have no time to feel lonely

或者已經被世界所遺棄 or as if the world has left us behind.

我們今天過得很愉快 Well, then, what a happy day that weve had.

我很確定 媽媽 你不覺得嗎 I'm sure, Mother. Dont you think?

我們過得很愉快 We really had a wonderful time.

我覺得累壞了 我相信你也是 I feel quite exhausted, I'm sure you must, too.

我們可以開開心心地回家去 Well have a very happy journey home.

沐浴在陽光中 With the sun on our faces.

愛瑪 讓我餵它吃點東西 Emma, let me give him some food.

安說我可以餵它 然後我就讓它上床睡覺 Ann said I could feed him, then I'm going to put him to bed.

該我玩了 伊莎貝拉 It's my turn, Isabella.

它還不累呢 He's not tired yet.

它想吃點東西 He wants something to eat.

它想吃點吐司 He wants some toast.

看 它想親親 Here look, he wants to kiss...

愛瑪 伊莎貝拉 該走了 Emma, Isabella, its time to go.

把你們的帽子戴上 Come and get your hats on.

走吧 我們去找泰勒小姐 Come on, lets go find Miss Taylor.

婚禮怎麼樣 誰哭得最傷心 So, how was the wedding? Who cried most?

廚師說佩裏家的孩子把蛋糕都吃了 Cook told me the Perry children took all the cake.

我才不信 I dont believe her.

感謝你今晚來訪 Its good of you to exert yourself this evening,

歸途疲憊 還特意到訪 to visit us here after your journey.

路不遠 我也很喜歡散步 It is a short walk and I am fond of it.

來我們家拜訪是假 鍛煉身體才是真 I think we are part of his exercise regime.

散步一英里 外加每日批評愛瑪一次 A miles walk and a daily scolding of Emma

正是佩裏醫生推薦的養生之道 is just what Dr Perry prescribes!

蘭德爾斯不過半英里之外 Randalls is only half a mile away.

很容易就走到了 如果坐馬車的話 Its an easy walk, and by carriage

你們可以一天拜訪韋斯頓家好幾次呢 you might visit the Westons several times a day,

-隻要你願意 -沒錯 - if you chose. - True.

我已經讓車伕丈量了路程 I have already had the coach man measure the journey.

我剛剛從倫敦回來 And now that I have returned from London,

也許你們想聽聽 I thought you might like to hear more about

我們家的新成員的消息 the new addition to our family.

愛瑪寶寶 Baby Emma...

看起來已經和她的阿姨一樣活潑 調皮 is already looking every bit as lively and mischievous as her aunt.

戈達德太太 你的學校真有意思 Mrs Goddard, you have such a lovely school!

如果簡不是有幸被坎貝爾家收留了 If Jane had not had the good fortune to stay with the Campbells,

我總是說 I always say

這所學校 that this school with its

有這麼美麗的花園和如此新鮮的空氣 wonderful gardens and so much...fresh air.

難道我不總是這麼說嗎 Dont I always say?

我們週日在教堂總是會看到你 Well, we see you all at church on Sundays.

還有你身後的一隊小孩子 You and a long line of little ones walking after you.

多麼美妙的場面 Its a lovely sight.

我的天吶 Oh, my goodness!

伍德豪斯小姐 一個人散步 Oh, Miss Woodhouse, walking alone!

是的 怎麼了 Why, yes.

一個人不安全 It is not safe and

既然泰勒小姐已經變成了韋斯頓夫人 now Miss Taylor has become Mrs Weston

你有必要給自己找個散步的伴兒 you must find a walking companion.

如果你碰到了吉卜賽人可怎麼辦 What if youd met the gypsies!

但是他們只出現在西部片區 Oh, but they are on the west fields and

而且奈特利先生說 他們並不是為非作歹的流浪人 Mr Knightley says they are not bad sorts of travellers,

他們每年都會來這裏 indeed they travel here every year.

其他的路都很安全 All the other paths are safe.

我一輩子都在這裏走來走去 I have walked here all my life.

我可不會因為泰勒小姐結婚了 就閉門不出 I am not going to stay inside just because miss Taylor is married.

她在蘭德爾斯安定下來了嗎 Is she settled at Randalls?

你一定很想念她吧 伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, you must miss her very much, Miss Woodhouse.

以後你的來訪 都不會有她陪伴了嗎 Are we always to expect you without her company on your future visits?

以後你都一個人嗎 Alone, that is?

噢 希望不會 Oh... I hope not.

我是說 I mean,

自然 我們不會有那麼多時間在一起 naturally, we will not be so much together,

像從前那樣形影不離 out and about as we used to be,

但我們永遠都是不可分割的 but then we were always inseparable and

而且原本萬事就會... it is natural that things will be...

改變 different.

話是沒錯 To be sure.

我相信你會重新找到一個伴 I'm sure youll find another companion.

那位年輕的女士是誰 Who is that young woman?

等等 Wait!

那是哈麗特·史密斯 That is Harriet Smith,

最受歡迎的住宿生之一 one of our most popular boarders.

哈麗特自從孩提時期就和我們在一起了 Harriet has been with us since she was a very pretty young girl.

她會留下來幫忙照看更小的孩子 She will remain here to help with the little ones.

她在假期中剛剛去拜訪了她的朋友 馬丁家 She has been to stay at her friends, the Martins, for the holidays.

她那麼喜歡她們 都捨不得和她們說再見 She likes them so much she cannot say goodbye.

多麼漂亮的女生 她是哪裏人 What a pretty girl! Where does she come from?

家裏是做什麼的 Who are her family?

她是一個 Oh, she is the, er, the,

私生女 the natural daughter of...

我們也不知道是誰家的 但是他們很慷慨 well, we dont really know who, but they are very generous.

多年來她衣食無憂 She has wanted for no comfort all these years

所有的東西都是提前支付費用 and everything is extremely regular and paid up front.

她的家人一定很富裕 She is obviously the daughter of someone very refined.

說不定還是貴族 既然錢從不是問題 Nobility, probably, since money is no object.

下週二來哈特菲爾德吃晚餐吧 戈達德太太 Do come for supper at Hartfield next Tuesday, Mrs Goddard.

帶上哈麗特·史密斯一起 And bring Harriet Smith,

我是說如果您願意的話 if you would be so kind.

有那麼一瞬間 我錯以為一切都沒有改變 Just for a moment there, I imagined that nothing had changed.

泰勒小姐還在她的老位子上 Miss Taylor in her usual place and

沒有什麼不愉快的事情發生 nothing unpleasant occurred.

是韋斯頓夫人 父親 Mrs Weston, Father!

我們的聚會來了一位可愛的新人 And we have a delightful new addition to our party.

請原諒 伍德豪斯小姐 Excuse me, Miss Woodhouse.

我在村裏因一些事耽擱了 I have been delayed in the village

替一個人辦事 on the errand of one

在我心中 他的事比你的重要那麼一點點 whose business I hold only just in higher regard than yours.

誰的事 On whose business?

-萬能的主 -上帝嗎 - The Almightys. - Gods?

噢當然了 Oh! Of course.

上帝的事 比伍德豪斯小姐的更重要一點點 Gods business, just a little more regard than Miss Woodhouse.

我明白了 真是詼諧睿智啊 Yes. I see, how very civil.

歡迎之至 埃爾頓先生 一如往常 You are most welcome, Mr Elton, as always.

我想 在座的應該只有一位需要介紹 I think I only have one introduction to make.

我的特別朋友 哈麗特·史密斯小姐 My special friend, Miss Harriet Smith.

伍德豪斯小姐的特別朋友 也就是我的朋友 Well, Miss Woodhouses special friend, can be one, no less to me.

哈麗特接下來會和我一起去慰問窮困人家 Harriet will be joining me this week when I go to visit the poor.

太棒了 Bravo.

我不知道你怎麼看 I dont know what you think of this

愛瑪和哈麗特·史密斯突然那麼親密 new intimacy between emma and Harriet Smith,

不過我覺不是什麼好事 but I think it could be a bad thing.

噢 是嗎 Oh, do you really?

我感覺和你恰恰相反呢 How very differently we feel.

我們又要進行一場有關愛瑪的爭論了嗎 奈特利先生 Are we going to have one of our quarrels about Emma, Mr Knightley?

也許你覺得我此番前來 Well, perhaps you think I came down here

是故意趁韋斯頓先生不在 來和你吵架的 on purpose to quarrel with you, knowing Mr Weston to be out

因為沒有人幫你 and you must argue your own case.

韋斯頓先生如果在的話是一定會支持我的 Well, Mr Weston would certainly support me if he were here.

你一直一個人住 奈特利先生 You live alone, Mr Knightley,

我也不指望哪個男人會理解 and I do not think it possible for a man to appreciate

一個女人多麼需要另一個女人的陪伴 how much a woman needs the companionship of another woman.

雖然我只離了半英里遠 and though I am but half a mile away,

但是我知道毫不誇張地說 I know that in all modesty,

愛瑪一定萬分想念我的陪伴 Emma will miss my company dreadfully.

這是我接受求婚的唯一壞處 It was the one drawback to my accepting my husbands proposal.

為何哈特菲爾德就像塊磁鐵吸住我們 How we are all drawn to Hartfield like magnets

讓我們無法離開 and cannot leave.

我聽愛瑪說過不下十次她永遠不會結婚 Ive heard Emma say a dozen times she will never marry.

如果你覺得離開她很難 If you find it difficult to leave her,

想想她要怎麼離開她父親 imagine how she will ever leave her father!

那可不好說 Well, we will see.

我相信如果她身陷愛河 會克服一切障礙的 I'm sure that obstacle can be surmounted in the event of a happy liaison

只不過還沒到時候呢 But not just yet.

你沒看到她昨天晚上精神多好 Did she not look well last night?

你什麼時候看到過那麼可愛的人 Have you ever seen such loveliness!

那麼健康而有活力 Such good health and bloom!

我不覺得愛瑪這個人有什麼問題 I have never had any fault to find in Emmas person.

她永遠都是家裏最聰明最漂亮的那一個 Shes always been the cleverest and the prettiest of the family.

愛瑪一直是眾人眼裏最特別的姑娘 Emma has always been of special regard.

我喜歡看著她 她也不會因為外貌而虛榮 I love to look at her and she's not vain about her looks.

不 她的虛榮心在其他地方 No, her vanity lies in another direction

而且很明顯 你不願意和我有進一步的討論 and you have cleverly put me off its discussion.

誰也改變不了我的想法 I am not to be talked out of

我就是不喜歡她和哈麗特·史密斯走那麼近 my dislike of her intimacy with harriet Smith

而且我恐怕這對她們兩個都不是好事 and my fear it will do them both harm.

那會勾起愛瑪的虛榮心 It will play to Emmas vanity.

我覺得沒什麼壞處 And I see no harm at all.

哈麗特可以從愛瑪優越的地位得到很多好處 Harriet will benefit from Emmas superior position.

當然她不是愛瑪最理想的女伴 Of course she is not the ideal companion for her

但是在海伯裏 有誰能和愛瑪比肩媲美 but then, who is her equal, in Highbury?

反過來 哈麗特可以... And Harriet can, in return, she...

她們可以一起讀書 well, they can read together.

你總是跟愛瑪說她應該多讀點書 You are always telling Emma she should read more.

愛瑪自從10歲起就打算要多讀書 Emmas been meaning to read more since she was ten years old.

她列的書單很不錯 我承認 She makes a good list, Ill concede,

但是我看不出來哈麗特·史密斯 but I dont see how Harriet Smith

有什麼本事能敦促她讀書 could get her to read any of the books on it

畢竟你都沒做到 any more than you could.

別擔心 哈麗特 Dont worry, Harriet,

作為新人 你做得很不錯了 you are doing well indeed, for a beginner.

-早上好 史密斯小姐 -早上好 馬丁先生 - Good morning, Miss Smith. - Good morning, Mr Martin.

-希望你一切都好 -確實很好 謝謝 - I hope I find you well? - Very well indeed, thank you.

希望你母親和姐妹們身體都好 I do hope that your mother and sisters are in good health?

很好 謝謝 Very good health, thank you.

我想問一聲 你找到我向你推薦的那本書了嗎 I wonder, did you manage to find the book I recommended?

《林中傳奇》 The Romance of The Forest.

我很抱歉還沒有 No, I'm afraid I didnt.

但是我已經拜託我的姐妹們幫我留心了 But Ive asked my sisters to look out for it.

我會盡快開始讀的 And will read it as soon as I can manage.

那麼 再見了 Well, good day.

哈麗特 那個年輕人是誰 Harriet, who was that young man?

那是我的馬丁先生 Oh, that was my Mr Martin.

一個朋友 我和他度過了一個愉快的夏天 You know, my friend that I spent such a happy summer with.

但是我以為馬丁家 But I thought the Martins were

-是一對中年夫婦和兩個女兒 -不是的 - a middle aged couple with two daughters? - Oh, no!

沒有老馬丁先生 There is no older Mr Martin.

是年輕的馬丁先生在管理農場 Young Mr Martin runs the farm.

我很驚訝你不認識他 I'm surprised you do not know him.

他經常拜訪奈特利先生 我相信他認識你 He often visits Mr Knightley and I am sure he knows you.

三個蘋果 謝謝 Three apples, please.

應該是那樣 It would be that way around.

他應該認識我 He would know me

但是我不明白為什麼我要認識一個農民 but I'm not sure why I would know a farmer.

謝謝 Thank you.

哈麗特 能告訴我為什麼 Harriet, is there any reason

你要叫他"你的"馬丁先生呢 why you would call that young man "your Mr Martin"?

我意思是我的朋友馬丁先生 I meant my friend Mr Martin.

你覺得他怎麼樣 Tell me, what do you think of him?

他是不是太平凡了 你覺得呢 Is he so very plain? Do you think?

當然 平凡得不能再平凡了 He is remarkably plain.

我覺得大家也不會對一個農民有太高期望 I suppose one would not expect very much of a farmer

但是我沒想到他會如此滑稽 but I had no notion he would be so very clownish.

說老實話 他確實不像真正的紳士那樣有教養 To be sure. He is not so genteel as a real gentleman.

我無意冒犯 相信我 Oh, I mean no offence, I'm sure.

一個農民也沒必要有教養 A farmer has no need to be genteel,

我只是覺得現在 but I would have thought that now

你已經接觸到了一些 you have been exposed to some

哈特菲爾德真正有教養 受過良好教育的紳士 very good specimens of well bred, well educated men at Hartfield,

你會恍然發現 you would be struck by

你的羅伯特·馬丁其實並不是一個好伴侶 how unfavourable a companion your Robert Martin presents.

伍德豪斯小姐 我又收到了簡寄來的信 Miss Woodhouse. Another letter from Jane!

不如你和史密斯小姐進來喝杯茶 Wont you and Miss Smith step inside for tea

順便聽我讀信 while I read it to you?

我很抱歉 貝茨小姐 Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Bates.

哈麗特和我要去慰問窮困人家 Harriet and I are going to visit the poor.

我們明天來吧 例行拜訪 We will come and listen tomorrow on our usual visit.

那好吧 那就明天見 Ah well, good then. Well, till tomorrow.

幸好逃過了 That was a very lucky escape.

我希望我在提到姐姐家的小外甥們時 I hope I never bore people a tenth

煩人程度不到貝茨小姐的十分之一 as much about all the little Knightleys

她一說起簡·費爾法克斯來就沒完沒了 as Miss Bates does about Jane Fairfax.

我都聽煩了簡·費爾法克斯這個名字了 I am sick of the very name Jane Fairfax.

每封信都會被念上40遍 我要被她煩死了 Every letter must be read 40 times over. She bores me to death!

真是可惜 我和簡還有弗蘭克·丘吉爾 Which is a pity, because Jane, Frank Churchill and I

在某種程度上是命運與共的 are bound together in a mysterious sort of way.

弗蘭克就像一個迷路的小孩 回不了家 Frank is like a lost boy, never to return home.

甚至不能參加他父親的婚禮 Not even for his fathers wedding.

多可憐 How sad.

簡寫信來了 撫慰我們的心 A letter from Jane, Mother, to warm us.

我問了伍德豪斯小姐願不願意來聽我讀信 I asked Miss Woodhouse if she would like to hear it,

但是她不能來 but she cannot.

她忙著要去救濟窮人 She is so very busy on vicarage business,

不過沒關係 but never mind.

她明天會來聽的 像往常一樣在星期三 She will hear it tomorrow, on Wednesday, as usual.

我的眼鏡呢 在這裏 我開始讀了 Now what did I do with my... Oh, yes, here we are.

我在想馬丁先生怎麼會忘讀我推薦的書 I did wonder Mr Martin didnt remember to read the book I suggested.

那是一本愛情小說 It was a romance.

可能在他看來 生意比《林中傳奇》更重要 He thinks too much of business for The Romance Of The Forest?

什麼樣的男人竟會那樣啊 What kind of man is that?

-如果他現在就這樣 他才... -24 - If he is like that at... - Four and twenty.

才24歲 想想他年紀大一些後會變成什麼樣 Four and twenty, just think what hell be like when hes older.

他會變成一個非常討厭 粗俗 懶散的農民 He will be a totally gross, vulgar, inattentive farmer

腦子裏只想著農場的盈虧 who thinks of nothing but profit and loss.

我不明白他怎麼會不記得那本書 I do wonder he did not remember the book.

別難過 哈麗特 Oh, dont be upset, Harriet.

我們給自己打打氣吧 Lets cheer ourselves up.

想想更好的男人 Let us think of superior men.

還有很多更合適的追求者的 There are plenty more suitable suitors around.

你的樹畫得很不錯 That is a very good tree.

年輕女孩子們現在都如此多才多藝 How accomplished young women are in all areas these days.

受寵若驚 埃爾頓先生 You flatter us, Mr Elton.

我能看出來你想要捕捉那... Oh, yes, I see how you have tried to capture the,

光線 還有那種感覺 er, the light and the, the atmosphere...

如此精緻又如此... so delicate yet so...

具有感染力 eloquent.

我記得你和愛瑪也像那樣一起畫畫 I remember you and Emma painting in exactly that way.

畫架的位置都沒變 Easels just so.

我想萬物注定都會改變 I suppose things must change.

我覺得她和哈麗特做朋友是件好事 I think her friendship with Harriet is a very good thing.

愛瑪是個優秀的老師 Emma is an excellent teacher,

你也不希望愛瑪沒我的陪伴 and you would not want her to be so lonely without me

孤獨地想要逃往別處 that she wished to be elsewhere?

別處 愛瑪 不會的 那樣誰來管家 Elsewhere? Emma? No, not possible. Who would run the house?

愛瑪已經不是孩子了 她已經是成熟的女人了 Emma is no longer a child but a mature young woman.

我作為老師的工作已經完成了 My work as governess is done,

但是我永遠都是她的朋友 but I will always be a friend to her

也是你的 and to you.

這真是... This truly is,

一點兒也不誇張 我從來沒見過如此... with no exaggeration... I have seen lesser works in...

埃爾頓先生 Mr Elton?

你不覺得人像畫會很美嗎 Do you not think what an excellent subject the human form would be?

給史密斯小姐畫一幅水彩 你覺得怎麼樣 A watercolour of Miss Smith. What do you say to that?

是的 當然會很美 Oh, yes, indeed.

用你的雙手描繪出史密斯小姐的樣貌 A depiction by your fair hand of Miss Smith.

那絕對是完美之作 That, that would be perfection.

我覺得我會很喜歡的 I think I should like that more than anything.

我必須走了 我只是順路拜訪來感謝你 Now, I must be going, just a short visit to thank you and,

當然 還有史密斯小姐 為教區所作的貢獻 of course, Miss Smith for your sterling work in the parish.

我跟你說過什麼來著 What did I tell you?

我就知道你很快就會有追求者 I knew there would be suitors soon enough.

你猜埃爾頓先生委託我畫誰的肖像 Whose portrait do you think mr Elton has commissioned me to paint?

誰的 Whose?

當然是你的 Why, yours of course.

不會吧 伍德豪斯小姐 你確定嗎 Oh, no, Miss Woodhouse. Are you sure?

當然確定 他走之前說什麼了 Absolutely! What did he say to you before he left?

他說我的畫看起來美極了 Oh, that my painting is coming along splendidly.

他一定是愛你甚深[才不忍說實話] Oh, he really must be in love.

伍德豪斯小姐 我該怎麼做 Oh, Miss Woodhouse, what shall I do?

以後我要怎麼面對他 How should I ever behave towards him?

不要擔心 哈麗特 Oh, do not worry, Harriet.

我會指導你的 I will be your guide.

在新年來臨之前 你就會嫁出去了 You will be married by the New Year.

羅伯特·馬丁 Robert Martin!

是你嗎 Is that you?

不 史密斯小姐 No, no, Miss Smith.

你必須保持住姿勢 就像一座雕塑 You must keep your pose, like a statue.

偉大的藝術家需要時間來創作 The, the great artist must be allowed time to create.

一點都不能動 史密斯小姐 Not a fraction, Miss Smith.

這幅畫一定要完美 The painting must be perfect.

你確定這一步足夠謹慎嗎 Youre quite sure this is a prudent course of action?

是的 先生 Yes, Sir.

計劃看起來不錯 Hmm, the plan seems sound.

我認識你多久了 I've known you how long now?

我從來沒見過你拿農場冒險 And Ive never known you put the farm at risk in any way.

你確定過幾年再考慮 Are you sure you wouldnt be more sensible to

此項發展計劃會更加明智合理嗎 consider this development in a few years?

-你多大了 24對嗎 -我24歲 - How old are you? About four and twenty? - I am 24.

我不想浪費我的生命 I do not want to waste my life.

我已經下定決心了 就沒理由再延遲了 I see no reason to delay something I have set my mind on.

那我很驚訝 Then I'm surprised

對於你個人的擴展計劃 居然想聽我的意見 that you wish to hear my thoughts on your expansion project.

你完全不需要我的許可 You dont strictly need my permission.

祝你好運 羅伯特 Good luck, Robert.

謝謝你 先生 Thank you, Sir.

-史密斯小姐 -什麼事 - Miss Smith? - Yes.

餡餅安排得太多了 艾米 There's too many pies, Amy...

稍候 Excuse me.

伍德豪斯小姐 伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, Miss Woodhouse, Miss Woodhouse.

你絕對猜不到 You will never guess.

冷靜一下 哈麗特 怎麼了 Calm down, Harriet. Whatever is the matter?

我該怎麼辦 What should I do?

真是個驚喜 今天早上我收到了這封信 It is such a surprise. This was sent to me this morning.

是羅伯特·馬丁寄給我的求婚信 It is a proposal from Robert Martin.

至少我讀起來覺得是 Well, at least I thought it was when I read it.

這封信寫得很好 對不對 It is a very good letter, is it not?

我確定 我不知道 I'm sure, I do not know.

真是讓人驚喜啊 It is a delightful surprise.

亦或是不合適呢 Or is it unwelcome?

但是他的信讓我覺得他很愛我 But, well, he writes as though he loves me very much.

這封信到底好不好 Well, is it a good letter?

還是說 Or is it...

太短了 ..Too short?

寫得很不錯 It is a good letter.

寫得太好 以至於我覺得很可能是他姐姐代筆寫的 So much so I think it likely one of his sisters wrote it for him.

但是寫的比我預想的好 But it is a better written letter than I expected.

我不得不坦白承認這點 I hope I am honest enough to say that.

那我該怎麼辦 Well, what should I do?

你該怎麼辦 你指什麼 What should you do? What do you mean?

你是說回應嗎 Oh, in regards to the letter?

-你必須回信 馬上 -當然 - Well, you must answer it, and straight away. - Yes.

我就知道你知道該怎麼辦 Yes, I knew youd know.

但是親愛的 我要說什麼 But, oh dear, what should I say?

哈麗特 不行 你必須自己組織語言給他回信 Oh, Harriet, no. The wording of the letter must be all your own.

我相信你能寫好的 I'm sure you can manage.

你內心一定深知 You must be very clear and properly conscious of

自己將給他帶來的痛苦 the pain you will inflict.

所以你是說我應該拒絕他 是吧 So you think I ought to refuse him, then?

應該拒絕... Ought to refuse...?

原諒我 Oh, pardon me!

我以為你只是向我徵求關於如何措辭的意見 I imagined you asked me merely to advise you as to the phrasing.

你居然真考慮過要接受羅伯特·馬丁的求婚嗎 So you actually want to accept Robert Martin?

我不知道 I dont know.

我想 I, I do.

我不想 I dont.

伍德豪斯小姐 幫幫我 Oh, Miss Woodhouse, please help me.

我不能影響你的決定 哈麗特 I can have nothing to do with your decision, Harriet.

你應該瞭解自己的感覺 It is up to you to know your own feelings.

我真的不知道他如此喜歡我 I really had no idea he liked me so very much.

通用的判斷標準就是 I think as a general rule,

如果一個女人猶豫是否要接受一名男子的求婚 if a woman doubts whether to accept a man or not,

那她就應該拒絕他 she really ought to refuse him.

除非 當然 我不想影響你 Although, of course, I... I do not want to influence you.

拜託 拜託你影響我 But please, please do.

影響我 Do influence me,

你願意嗎 if you would be so kind?

伍德豪斯小姐 我決定了 Miss Woodhouse, I am determined.

我真的 幾乎決定了 I, I really am...almost.

我下定決心要 I have made up my mind to...

拒絕馬丁先生 refuse Mr Martin?

你覺得我做對了嗎 Do you think I'm right?

當然 完全正確 Perfectly. Perfectly right. Oh, oh!

當你在猶豫的時候 When you were all in suspense

我只能克制著自己的感情 I kept my feelings to myself,

不過現在你已經決定了 我就要恭喜你 but now you are decided, I congratulate you!

感謝上帝 Oh, oh, thank goodness

我不用再擔心會永遠失去你的陪伴了 I am in no danger of losing your company forever.

我絕不會去艾比山農場拜訪"羅伯特·馬丁夫人" No, I could never have visited Mrs Robert Martin of Abbey Mill Farm.

現在我可以保住我親愛的朋友了 Oh, now I am secure of my little friend forever.

親愛的伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, dear Miss Woodhouse,

我永遠不會放棄和你的友誼 I would not give up the pleasure of your friendship

哪怕是面對世間一切的誘惑 for anything in the world.

但我覺得馬丁先生真是一位友善的年輕人 However I really do think Mr Martin an amiable young man,

也很喜歡我 and so very attracted to me.

來 坐下 你必須馬上回信 Come, sit. You must write immediately.

如果回信太遲會顯得你無情而失禮的 It would be unfeeling and discourteous to delay your refusal.

多麼有藝術感 What artistry,

多麼完美 what perfection.

你十分巧妙地凸顯出 How cleverly you have suggested

那種希臘風情 the, uh, the Greek atmosphere

以及整體的畫面 寥寥數筆勾勒無盡美妙 and the landscape, in only a few deft strokes.

你覺得呢 伍德豪斯先生 What do you think, Mr Woodhouse?

伍德豪斯小姐這次超越了 Has Miss Woodhouse not surpassed

自己以往的水平 不是嗎 herself on this occasion?

如此美麗 美麗得無以復加 Its charming, extremely charming.

但是你不覺得史密斯小姐應該 But dont you think Miss Smith should be

穿一件厚一點的披肩嗎 wearing a more substantial shawl?

不 畫的是夏天的情景呢 父親 Er, no. It is a summer scene, Father.

即使是是夏天 年輕女孩子也會著涼的 Young girls can get a chill even in sunny weather.

不會的 父親 史密斯小姐是在房間裏面 No, Father, Miss Smith posed in this very room

絕對沒有一絲風 without the slightest fear of draught.

我們不應該鼓勵人們去冒無謂的冒險 Well, we dont want to encourage people to take unnecessary risks now.

我覺得好得不能再好了 Well, I do not see how it could be bettered.

你完美地捕捉到了 You have captured

史密斯小姐的神態 Miss Smith to perfection.

我們要把它裱起來 We must get it properly framed.

下次約翰和伊莎貝拉過來的時候 Next time John and Isabella come

可以讓他們帶去倫敦 well get them to take it to London,

讓他們幫你送去裝裱 have it framed for you.

那也許要等好幾周呢 But that may be some weeks away.

我可以效勞嗎 Might I offer my services?

我可以在一天之內來回 為此件珍品奔勞 I could ride to town and back in a day on such a precious errand.

愛瑪 親愛的 Emma, my dear.

我已經走完該走的三圈中的一圈了 I have done one of my three turns.

你能幫我一個忙嗎 Could I ask you for some help?

你能幫我把圍巾繫好嗎 Could you tie my scarf, make it a bit more secure?

你覺得我應該接著走嗎 Do you think I should finish my walk?

當然 我們要保持慣例 Of course, we must keep to routine.

奈特利先生 請原諒我 Ah, Mr Knightley. Do forgive me,

我需要散步 開始了就要堅持下去 I have to walk and when Ive started, I can't stop.

只有愛瑪招待你可以嗎 Will you be all right with just Emma for company?

因為我還是可以... Because I can always...

我想愛瑪和我可以照顧好自己的 Oh, I think Emma and I can manage by ourselves for now.

史密斯小姐今天沒來嗎 在花叢中搖曳生姿 No Miss Smith today, looking fetching amongst the roses?

我以為你們倆形影不離呢 I thought she was becoming a fixture?

不 我不是在取笑你 No, no, I'm not teasing you.

史密斯小姐漂亮可愛 Miss Smith is a pretty little creature

我很期待看到她的個性有所改進 and I am inclined to think her character improved.

我覺得受你的影響 她的確進步了 And I think she has improved due to your influence.

謝謝 鑒於你從來不願誇獎我 Thank you. And as you never praise me unless you can possibly help it

真讓我覺得受到極大的恭維 that must be a compliment.

她很快就會過來的 She will be here soon

除非她能從海伯裏的流言中脫身 if she can extricate herself from the Highbury gossips.

閒言碎語讓人傷神 Tiresome wretches.

也許她比你更能忍受 It's possible that she is more tolerant

那些閒言碎語 of tiresome wretches than you are.

也許她因為什麼好事耽誤了 But maybe she is delayed on far more pleasant business?

-真的嗎 -我有理由相信 - Really? - I have good reason to believe that

你的朋友很快就會收到好消息 your friend will soon receive good news.

而且你也會喜歡的 And it is news that will appeal to you.

桌子下面還有你的新娘和新郎娃娃嗎 Any of your brides and bridegrooms still live under there?

沒有 我已經不玩娃娃了 No. I am quite grown out of dolls.

那讓我來告訴你 So, let me tell you.

羅伯特·馬丁先生無可救藥地愛上了 Mr Robert Martin is desperately in love with

你的史密斯小姐 想要娶她為妻 your Miss Smith and means to marry her.

瞧 我也讓你驚訝一次 是吧 There. I have surprised you for once.

他來找我談這件事 He came to speak to me about it,

雖然我不覺得門當戶對 and despite my doubts about the match

我還是祝福他們 那是前天的事 I gave my blessing. This was the day before yesterday.

我必須說 我很驚訝 I must say I'm surprised

你朋友居然沒告訴你 your friend has been able to keep the good news to herself.

他應該昨天就有所行動了 I thought he would have spoken yesterday.

-他看起來下定了決心 -你怎麼知道 - He was so determined. - How do you know that

馬丁先生昨天沒有表態呢 Mr Martin did not voice his thoughts yesterday?

我不敢完全確定 I do not know it absolutely.

我以為她一整天都和你在一起 I thought she spent the whole day with you.

現在我要告訴你一些事 Now I will tell you something.

馬丁先生昨天已經表態了 他寫了信 Mr Martin did speak yesterday. That is, he wrote

而且被拒絕了 and he was refused.

那她就是比我想的還要傻 Then she is an even greater simpleton than I thought!

噢 當然了 Oh, of course,

女人拒絕求婚總是讓人費解的 its incomprehensible that a woman would ever refuse an offer of marriage

男人總以為只要求婚 女人就會答應 A man imagines a woman ready for anyone who asks her.

男人才沒有那麼想 A man does not imagine any such thing.

哈麗特·史密斯拒絕了羅伯特·馬丁 Harriet Smith refuse Robert Martin?

真是瘋了 Its madness.

也許你弄錯了 Maybe you are mistaken.

我看著她回信的 再清楚不過了 I saw her answer. Nothing could be clearer.

你看著她回信的 You saw her answer?

你們好 Hello.

是你替她寫的吧 You wrote it.

你說服她拒絕他的 愛瑪 看著我 You persuaded her to refuse him. Emma, look at me!

完全是你的行事風格 我敢肯定 This is your doing. I am sure of it.

你騙不了我的 You could never lie to me with any success.

馬丁先生是一位值得尊敬的年輕男子 Mr Martin is a very respectable young man,

我很確定 I am sure.

但是我覺得他和哈麗特不登對 But I will not agree that he is Harriets equal.

他當然和她不登對 他比她優越多了 No, he is not her equal. He is far her superior.

哈麗特·史密斯是毫無家庭背景的私生女 Harriet Smith is the natural daughter of nobody knows whom.

她既不通情達理 也無一技之長 Shes not a sensible girl and has been taught nothing useful.

涉世未深 智慧淺薄 She has no experience and little wit.

她很漂亮 或許脾氣尚可 She is pretty, good tempered, maybe.

但僅此而已了 But that is all.

我覺得在任何方面 他都不會比她差 I felt that in all respects he could do no worse.

但是他此前如此深愛著她 But he was so in love with her,

現在也還深愛著她 he IS so in love with her

以至於根本無法勸他改變心意 that he would not be reasoned with.

我甚至想過 愛瑪也會覺得這是一門好婚事 I even thought, "Even Emma will think that this is a good match."

你怎麼會這麼不瞭解我 說出這種話 I cant believe you know so little of Emma as to say such a thing.

一個農民 對我的閨蜜來說 怎會是門好親事 A farmer, a good match for MY intimate friend?

簡直是屈尊才對 It would be a degradation.

屈尊 一個無知的私生女 A degradation? For illegitimacy and ignorance

嫁給一個受人尊敬 有智慧的農民算屈尊? to be married to a respectable, intelligent farmer?

有一點毫無疑問的是 There can scarcely be any doubt that

她的父親曾是位紳士 富有的紳士 her father was a gentleman, and a gentleman of fortune.

她向來衣食無憂 Nothing has been begrudged her.

為什麼一個孩子要為他人的過錯負責 Why should the child pay for the offences of others?

哈麗特絕對是一位紳士的女兒 Harriet IS a gentlemans daughter,

她在和紳士的女兒往來 she associates with gentlemens daughters.

如此一來 她就比你的羅伯特·馬丁地位優越 She is therefore superior to your Robert Martin.

愛瑪 我們活在真實的世界 Emma, Emma, we live in the real world,

父母所犯的錯會給孩子帶來不幸 where children do pay for the offence of their parents,

而且似乎無論她的父母是誰 and it does not appear to be in their plans

他們都不準備讓哈麗特介入他們的生活 to introduce Harriet into their society, whoever they may be.

但是我們住在海伯裏 But we live here in Highbury,

我們會給予別人應得的尊敬和禮貌 where we treat people with the respect and courtesy they deserve.

哈麗特所有的朋友 雖然我不認識 Harriets friends, whoever they may be,

都覺得在戈達德太太的寄宿學校 有她的陪伴 thought Mrs Goddards boarding school and company

對她來說已經足夠好了 good enough for Harriet.

哈麗特自己也覺得心滿意足了 And Harriet also thought it good enough

直到你鼓動她去幻想一些不合身份的事 until you encouraged her to think above her station.

她夏天時和馬丁一家過得快樂極了 She was as happy as possible with the Martins in the summer.

羅伯特也不是自負的人 And Robert has no vanity.

他要是覺得哈麗特不喜歡自己的話 是不會求婚的 He would not have proposed if he thought that she did not favour him.

她一定有所暗示的 She must have encouraged him.

那麼 就像你說的 讓我們回到現實中來 Well then, let us, as you say, live in the real world,

現實中的男人都喜歡拒絕空有漂亮臉蛋的女孩 where men of course always reject a girl with a pretty face

而喜歡博才多學的女子 in favour of one with a well informed mind.

-什麼 -噢 不不不 我拜倒在您淵博的知識下 - What? - Oh, no, no, no. I bow to your superior knowledge,

以及您年長多年的經驗 您一定懂得更多 your 16 years more experience. You must know best.

哈麗特 美麗動人 溫柔大方 Harriet, with her good looks and easy temperament

你們男人恨不得排起長隊 will be right at the back of the queue with your sex

等著她來挑呢 when it comes to choosing a mate.

現在我們都已經表明立場 Now we have both made our argument,

爭吵到此為止 let us not quarrel.

說真的 Hmm! Really,

我寧願你呆笨無知 也比現在伶牙俐齒好 愛瑪 it is better to be without wits than apply them as you do, Emma.

瞧 你再次證明我說的是對的 There. Don't you see how you add force to my argument?

男人不喜歡爭辯反駁的女生 Men dont like girls who argue.

哈麗特就是每個男人夢寐以求的那種女孩 Harriet is just the sort of girl every man wants.

她讓男人得到視覺上的美感 She bewitches his senses and

對男人言聽計從 滿足他們的虛榮 satisfies him that he is always right.

如果你要結婚 你和她就是天造地設的一對 Were you ever to marry, shell be just the sort of woman for you. Ha!

記住我的話 哈麗特有資格挑挑揀揀 Mark my words - Harriet can pick and choose.

現在她才剛剛開始自己的生活 Here she is, right at the beginning of her life.

為什麼她要接受第一次求婚 Why should she accept the first offer she receives?

不奉陪了 Excuse me.

十分感謝 埃爾頓先生 Thank you so much, Mr Elton.

哈麗特一定會很感激的 Harriet will be so very grateful.

簡直無法忍耐多等待一分鐘啊 How can we wait a moment longer than necessary

恨不得立即將之掛起來讓所有人欣賞 to see this painting framed and hung for all to see?

那麼 再見了 埃爾頓先生 Well then, goodbye, Mr Elton.

一路順風 Safe journey.

那個男人那麼驕傲自負 That man is so full of himself

居然沒從馬上摔下來 I'm surprised he can stay on that horse.

我一直以為這份友誼對你來說不是好事 愛瑪 Ive always thought it a bad friendship for you, Emma.

現在我想 對史密斯小姐來說更糟糕 But now that I think of it, I think it is worse for Miss Smith.

明白人不會想要一個傻老婆的 Men of sense do not want silly wives.

而且大多數人家會擔心 And most men of family will be afraid of

娶她進門 將來有一天會有辱家門 the disgrace that they get caught up in

怕萬一哪一天她的身世之謎大白天下 if and when the mystery of her parentage is revealed.

你讓她嫁給羅伯特·馬丁 You let her marry Robert Martin,

她會受人尊敬而且永遠幸福 shes respectable and happy forever.

你把她的眼界抬高了 Set her sights higher,

也許她這輩子就會在戈達德太太那裏孤獨終老 and she may end up at Mrs Goddards for the rest of her life.

我們想法相差太大了 We think so differently about this

還是不要再談下去了 I think we should stop talking about it.

就算我願意她嫁給羅伯特·馬丁 And as for my letting her marry Robert Martin,

那也是不可能的 哈麗特已經拒絕他了 it is impossible. Harriet has refused him.

她必須堅持自己的決定 She must abide by her decision.

我不想假裝我沒有影響她 只有一點點 I do not pretend to have that much influence, just a little.

但是 他的外貌太糟糕了 But really, his appearance was so much against him

也很沒有禮貌 and his manner so bad

即使她曾經喜歡過他 that if she ever were disposed to favour him,

現在也不會了 she certainly doesnt now.

胡說八道 What nonsense.

我覺得已經是下午茶時間了 I really think it is time for tea

但是還沒有人送來 and yet it has not appeared.

你覺得我需不需要叫父親進來 Do you think I should call Father in?

我想至少對於馬丁先生來說 也不算什麼大損失 Well, I suppose it is no great loss - for Mr Martin, that is.

但願他會慢慢忘懷 Hell get over her soon, I hope.

但是你那麼喜歡替別人做媒 But I know that your love of matchmaking means that you

你跟這事的關係絕對比你承認的多 are more to do with this than you so modestly deny.

那才是你惱怒的原因 That is the real reason you are annoyed.

我給出我的意見 你給出你的 I gave my advice and you gave yours,

但是我的意見被採納了 but it was mine that prevailed and

而你不想承認這一點 you do not want to admit it.

真高興你回來了 我們永遠都會是朋友的 I am so pleased you have come back, for we will always be friends.

不 愛瑪 我回來是想說 No, I came back to say this, Emma.

既然你也承認是要做媒 As you make no secret of your matchmaking,

我覺得你之所以採取如此冒進的行動 I assume that you would not have taken this drastic step

作為一個朋友 我想提醒你 And as a friend, I will just hint to you that

如果埃爾頓是你挑選的人 if Elton is the chosen man,

埃爾頓不會如你願的 Elton will not do.

他知道他自己是個帥氣的年輕人 He knows he is a very handsome young man

他絕對不會跟一個隨隨便便的人結婚的 and will never marry cheaply.

哈麗特和羅伯特不是你的玩物 你的娃娃 Harriet and Robert are not your playthings, your dolls,

按你說的做 在桌子底下結婚 to be told what to do and to marry under the table at your bidding.

有一天你會悔不當初的 And one day you will bitterly regret your meddling.

只是一段小詩 Its, its just a small verse

浪漫的小詩 of a romantic nature.

但我很想知道 I would like to know that

住進迪克遜先生那漂亮豪華的莊園裏 to Mr Dixon's, no doubt, boundlessly beautiful estate?
