名著
以下笔墨摘自英国女作者艾米丽·勃朗特 (Emily Brontë)《呼啸山庄》(Wuthering Heights) 第9章。
"I love the ground under his feet, and the air over his head, and everything he touches, and every word he says. I love all his looks, and all his actions, and him entirely and altogether. There now!"
"And why?"
"Nay; you are making a jest of it; it is exceedingly ill-natured! It's no jest to me!" said the young lady, scowling, and turning her face to the fire.
"I'm very far from jesting, Miss Catherine," I replied.
"You love Mr. Edgar because he is handsome, and young, and cheerful, and rich, and loves you. The last, however, goes for nothing: you would love him without that, probably; and with it you wouldn't, unless he possessed the four former attractions."
“我爱他眼下的地,他头上的天,天博体育他所碰过的每不异东西,以及他说出的每一个字。我爱他所有的心思和所有的行为,还有所有这个词的完有余全的他。好了吧!”
“为什么呢?”
“不,你是在开打趣,这可太奸巧了!对我可不是开打趣的事!”姑娘说,况且皱起眉,掉过脸向着炉火。
“我毫不是开打趣,凯瑟琳姑娘!”我回话。“你爱埃德加先生是因为他漂亮、年青、晴明、有钱,而且爱你。临了这少量,岂论怎样样,没什么作用,莫得这一条,你也许已经爱他;而有了这条,你倒不一定,除非他具备头四个优点。”
