伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, 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 there's just you and your father here.

-那位年輕的女士是誰 -那是哈麗特·史密斯 - Who is that young woman? - That is Harriet Smith.

她是一個私生女 我們也不知道是誰家的 She is the natural daughter of, well, we don't really know who.

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

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 Every letter must be read 40 times over.

我要被她煩死了 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 are

在某種程度上是命運與共的 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.

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

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?

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

真是瘋了 It's madness.

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

你完美地捕捉到了 You have captured

史密斯小姐的神態 Miss Smith to perfection!

埃爾頓不會如你所願的 Elton will not do.

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

我已經掌握了彌爾頓先生兩頁書的內容 I have managed two pages of Mr. Milton.

使我能夠向世人昭示天道的公正 "I may assert the ways of God to Man"

[愛瑪念反《失樂園》原詩]

並闡明永恆的真理 "And justify Eternal Providence."

十分有道理 我覺得 That's very true, I think.

我想今天的閱讀可以到此為止了 I think we have done enough reading for today.

如此高深的思想 必須經過時間的沉淀 Such lofty thoughts require a moment's pause

才能展現其精髓價值 to reflect on their value.

來看看我們的大工程享樂一下吧 I think we deserve a look at our project.

我們的愛情謎語合集內容越來越豐富了 Our collection of romantic riddles is building up nicely.

我很好奇 伍德豪斯小姐 I wonder, Miss Woodhouse,

你為何不結婚呢 你如此天生麗質 that you are not yet married, you are so charming.

告訴你吧 我連結婚的想法都沒有 I assure you, I have very little intention of marrying at all.

屆時許多優秀男子會找上門 Someone very superior would have to come along

就算如此 我也一定不為所動 and even then I would rather not be tempted.

女人有這種想法真是太奇怪了 It is so very odd to hear a woman talk like that.

若我深陷愛河 也許想法就不同了 Were I in love, it would be a different thing

可惜我始終芳心難動 but I have never been in love.

婚姻根本就不適合我 It is not my way or my nature and

而且我覺得我可能永遠不會結婚 I don't think I ever shall.

既然情愫未到 And without love,

我又何必改變現在的狀態呢 why would I want to change my situation?

我衣食無憂 生活充實 I have fortune. I am occupied.

我不相信在哈特菲爾德有哪位主婦 I do not think that there is a wife alive

能比我現在還過得幸福 who has a better position than mine at Hartfield.

但當個老姑娘 But to be an old maid,

就像貝茨小姐那樣 like Miss Bates!

那確實很可怕 That is a formidable image!

如果我會淪落成貝茨小姐那樣 If I thought I was going to end up like Miss Bates,

愚鈍不堪 四處嘮叨雞毛蒜皮的瑣事八卦 so silly, so apt to tell everyone everything trivial about oneself,

那我明天就去結婚 then I would marry tomorrow!

但是 不用擔心 哈麗特 But, ah, do not worry, Harriet,

因為我會成為一位富有的老姑娘 for I shall be a rich old maid.

只有窮困潦倒的老姑娘 才會成為大家的笑柄 And it is only poor old maids who invite the world's ridicule.

但我必須說 Though I must say,

貝茨小姐也並非一無是處 Miss Bates is not exactly universally despised.

她平易近人 多麼難得的品質啊 No-one is afraid of her and that has a charm of its own.

至於說後代 And as for children,

有那麼多奈特利家的孩子叫我阿姨 I already have a multitude of Knightley children

因此我不用擔心會孤獨終老 to always be sure of having a niece about me at all times.

下午好 伍德豪斯小姐 Good afternoon, Miss Woodhouse.

下午好 埃爾頓先生 真高興見到你 Good afternoon, Mr. Elton. How kind of you to call.

我給你帶了 Now I have brought you

本月裝扮教堂的花名冊 this month's church flower rota.

伍德豪斯先生告訴我你正在編纂一本 Oh, Mr. Woodhouse told me that you are compiling a portfolio

富有浪漫色彩的謎語詩句合集 of riddles and verses of a romantic nature.

我一時興起 On a moment's impulse I, er, well,

寫下了這段文字供你收藏 I wrote this contribution for your collection.

只是一段小詩 It's, it's just a small verse,

恐怕要獻醜了 not very good, I fear.

謝謝你 埃爾頓先生 Thank you, Mr. Elton,

但你不親自把這個交到史密斯小姐手裏嗎 but would you not rather give it to Miss Smith yourself?

不了 不了 我還要趕去赴約 Oh, no, no. I'm, uh, already late for another appointment.

交給你我就很放心了 It will be quite safe in your hands.

是個謎語 Oh...it is a riddle!

正是 是首情詩 Exactly, a love poem.

他雖表面上說是供我們收入合集 He said it was to add to our collection,

但我認為他寫這個完全是想向你示愛 but I think we can guess it relates to his regard for you.

我必須說 I must say I do wonder

他真是耐得住性子 如此含蓄遮掩 it has taken him so long to make his feelings known.

我的前半部代表國王的財富與王國的盛況 "My first displays the wealth and pomp of kings."

我的後半部代表駕馭怒海的霸主 "Another view of man, my second brings, the monarch of the seas."

你才思敏捷 定能很快破解 "Thy ready wit the word will soon supply."

老天 Oh, dear,

我破解不出 I can't decipher.

看這裏 Well, well, look here.

國王的財富與王國的盛況 "The wealth and pomp of kings."

有關國王 這是在暗示什麼呢 "Kings", what does that suggest?

應該是宮廷吧 Perhaps court?

駕馭怒海的霸主 "The monarch of the seas."

與海有關 "Seas"?

也許是船 Maybe a ship?

船 Ship?

宮廷 Court?

船宮廷嗎 Ship-court!?

對嗎 Is that it?

再想想 Try again.

"船"和"宮廷"暗示著什麼呢 What might "ship" and "court" signify?

不知道 No.

"求愛"啊 Courtship!

求愛 看 這個 和這個 Courtship. See here, and here.

伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, Miss Woodhouse.

我真不敢相信 I can hardly believe it!

你最好試著相信吧 Well, you had better try.

我希望你春天就成為牧師夫人 I hope to see you settled in the vicarage by the spring!

父親 你為何不進來等呢 Father, why do you not wait inside?

他們說過會提前出發 They said they would set out with plenty of time.

你和我一樣瞭解你姐姐 愛瑪 You know your sister as well as I do, Emma.

他們晚了 一定出什麼事了 They're late, something's happened!

肯定不會出事的 Nothing has happened.

多耽誤些時間也挺正常 想想他們帶著5個孩子 It takes a good while to gather up five children

要攜帶一堆行李來過聖誕呢 and their luggage for a Christmas trip.

你說 史密斯小姐不會是抱恙了吧 Do you think, er, Miss Smith is going down with something?

我聽見她在走廊打噴嚏 I mean, I heard her sneeze in the corridor.

小愛瑪就要來了 Baby Emma will arrive soon.

我們的房子裏可不能有病菌 We can't have a house full of disease.

別跟我說你已經邀請她參加我們 Please don't tell me you invited her to come to dinner

家庭團聚的第一頓晚宴 on their first night?

奈特利一家已經夠惱人了 It's bad enough having Knightley.

父親 你忘記了 Father, you forget.

奈特利先生或許強留他們住在唐韋爾莊園 Mr. Knightley might have insisted that they all stay at Donwell.

他不來大概是因為還沒原諒我吧 He might not come for I fear he has not forgiven me yet.

原諒你 原諒你什麼 Forgiven you? What an earth for?

來 快來 Run! Hurry up!

小約翰 你該回房了 貝拉你也是 John! You should be in bed. You too, Bella.

來吧孩子們 照你們阿姨說的做 Yes, come along, children. We must all do as your aunt says.

明天我們能再玩一次嗎 喬治叔叔 Can we play again tomorrow, Uncle George?

小聲點 好了亨利 晚飯別遲到 Quietly now. Right, Henry. And don't be late for dinner.

外公會不高興的 You know what your grandpa will say.

可以嗎 喬治叔叔 拜託 Can we, Uncle George, please?

你氣色不太好 亨利 You look pale, Henry.

真可惜你秋天時 It is a great a pity that you

去了海邊 沒來這裏 went to the sea in the autumn and did not come here.

你怎麼會這麼想呢 爸爸 But why should you think so, Papa?

奈特利先生 Mr. Knightley...

奈特利先生 能把鹽遞給我嗎 Mr. Knightley, can I have the salt, please?

如果你非得要去海邊 而不回娘家 And if you had to go to the sea and not come here

儘管這裏的空氣是最新鮮的 佩裏醫生也如此認為 where the air is purest, Dr. Perry agrees,

那麼你也該去克羅默 而非桑斯安 then you should have chosen Cromer rather than Southend.

那地方對健康不利 It is an unhealthy place.

抱歉 Excuse me.

-溫菲爾德醫生 -是個倫敦醫生 - Dr. Wingfield... - Is a London doctor,

而眾所周知 and we all know

倫敦是世上最不利於人類居住的城市 London is the unhealthiest place of all to live in.

布倫維克廣場是全市空氣最好的地方 Brunswick Square has the clearest air in the capital.

溫菲爾德親口說的 是有科學根據的 Dr. Wingfield has said so. It has been scientifically proven.

他還強烈推薦帶孩子去呼吸海邊的空氣 And he recommended the sea air for all the children!

拜託 不要總談海邊 Come, come, don't let's talk about the seaside.

你們知道我從未去過 You know I have never been there.

真讓我嫉妒難過啊 It makes me so miserable and envious to

你們幾個小傢伙都見過海 think you have seen the sea

而我這個可憐的老阿姨卻沒見過 and your poor old aunt has not!

佩裏醫生在克羅默待過一周 Dr. Perry was a week at Cromer

他說那裏的海浴是最棒的 非要去海邊 也該去那裏 and said it was the best sea-bathing place of all, if you must go.

但克羅默比桑斯安遠得多 But Cromer is so very much farther than Southend.

一個100英里 另一個才40英里 100 miles instead of 40.

但健康才是最重要的 But where health is at stake.

佩裏是這麼說的 This is what Perry said.

他說其實最好不去為妙 He said it seems best not to go at all.

佩裏醫生應該將他的看法憋在心裏 Dr. Perry would do well to keep his opinions to himself!

我與我的家人去哪裏度假與他何干 Why is it any of his business where I take my family on holiday?

如果佩裏醫生能告訴我 If Dr. Perry can tell me

怎樣攜妻帶子一行六人 how to convey a wife and five children

即使舟車勞頓130英里 a distance of 130 miles with

花銷和麻煩也不會比40英里的旅途多... no greater expense or inconvenience than 40...

約翰 你來時發現到海伯裏的路改道了吧 Ooh, John, do you remember the re-routing of the path into Highbury?

改道後的好處就是我們會離蘭德爾斯很近 Well, an added advantage is that it takes us very near to Randalls.

我們可以明天步行過去 We could walk there tomorrow,

去拜訪韋斯頓家剛過門的夫人 visit the new Mrs. Weston.

可憐的泰勒小姐 Oh, poor Miss Taylor.

我們現在幾乎見不到她了 We hardly ever see her now!

父親 Father!

他們婚後 我們只有一天沒有見到他們 We have only missed seeing them one day since they were married!

如果我們能冰釋前嫌 If only we could resolve our quarrels

就如同剛才解決家庭糾紛一樣 as well as we resolve those disputes within our family,

我們就能重歸於好的 we could be friends again.

只要你能理智冷靜地對待外人 If only you were as sensible with those outside the family

不讓他們屈從於你的意願之下 and not subject them to your fancy,

我們總是能很和睦的 we would never disagree.

當然了 我總是錯的 Ah, of course, and I am always in the wrong.

當年你如同小愛瑪這麼大時 Well, I was your considerable superior

我可是你重要的守護人啊 in years when you were the age of little Emma here.

確實 從我小時候到現在 And I am sure that you were by far

你在判斷力上都勝我一籌 my superior in judgement when I was.

但多年的朝夕相處 But surely we have grown

也該讓我們對事物的判斷力更接近了吧 closer in judgement as the years have passed?

反正我不會變成 Well, I had the advantage

驕傲的美麗姑娘 或者被寵壞的小孩 of not being a pretty woman and a spoilt child.

來 我們和好吧 Come, let's be friends, hmm?

以後別提這事了 And say no more about it.

快告訴你阿姨 小愛瑪 Tell your aunt, little Emma,

過去的不開心別放心上了 not to renew old grievances.

你說的很對 小傢伙 Very true, little one.

快快長大 成為比你阿姨優秀許多的姑娘 Grow up to be a far better woman than your aunt.

要冰雪聰明 不可自負 Be infinitely cleverer and not so conceited.

但我得再問一件事 But I must ask one more thing.

我們都是出於好心 因此都不算錯 As far as good intentions go, we were both right.

我不會因為哈麗特聽取了我的建議而道歉 I cannot claim to be sorry that Harriet took my advice.

但我很想知道 But I would like to know that

馬丁先生不會是失望至極 肝腸寸斷吧 Mr. Martin is not so very bitterly disappointed?

我無法給出讓你寬慰的答案 I cannot satisfy you there.

我從未見過一個男人如此悲痛欲絕 I've never seen a man more disappointed.

我在想夠不夠時間給你做條新裙子 I wonder if we have time to have you a new dress made

在韋斯頓的聖誕派對上穿 for the Westons' Christmas party?

要那種既端莊大方 又倍顯風姿的 You must look demure, but at the same time alluring.

親愛的 Oh, dear,

你這樣肯定去不了了 you definitely can't go looking like that.

只能讓埃爾頓先生先等等了 Mr. Elton will have to wait.

不要失落 Don't despair.

儘管你不能參加韋斯頓家的晚宴 You may not be able to go to the Westons' dinner party

但這也正是測試埃爾頓先生真心的良機 but we can still make this a good test of Mr. Elton's regard.

早上好 埃爾頓先生 Good morning, Mr. Elton.

早上好 Oh, good morning.

伍德豪斯小姐 奈特利先生 Miss Woodhouse, Mr. Knightley.

恐怕哈麗特無法一同前往 I am afraid that Harriet is not with us

她患了風寒 下不了床 as she is confined to bed with a cold.

真為史密斯小姐感到遺憾 Oh, I, I am sorry to hear your news about Miss Smith,

但你的家人 似乎都生龍活虎 精力過剩呢 but I am sure your family is of much comfort.

你剛剛說我孩子什麼 What is that you say about my children?

為什麼大家最近都愛對我的家庭指指點點 Why is it all men feel they may freely comment on my family, hmm?

我只是在稱讚伍德豪斯小姐 I, er, I merely was complimenting Miss Woodhouse

有這麼多可愛的外甥 on a fine collection of nephews.

真的非常可愛 Very fine indeed.

明晚你們都要去韋斯頓家的派對嗎 Do you all go to the Weston's tomorrow night?

是的 連我父親都被說服前往了 Oh, yes, even father has been persuaded.

但埃爾頓先生 哈麗特病得這麼嚴重 But you will not wish to go, Mr Elton,

你還想去嗎 as Harriet is so very ill?

我真是無比期待啊 I am very much looking forward to it!

但我這個窮單身漢 Though, being a poor bachelor,

可雇不起一輛馬車 要是下雪的話 I, well, I cannot afford a carriage, and if it should snow...

為了安全起見 我們雇了兩輛馬車 Oh, we are taking two carriages for safety.

如果你願意 就和我們一起吧 Come with us in ours, if you please.

你們真是太慷慨了 Well that is very generous of you.

祝兩位愉快 Good day to you both.

詹姆斯 亨利 來 James, Henry, come on.

我們快點出發吧 遲到是很失禮的 Come on, let's get going. We don't want to be late.

看樣子肯定要下雪 It's definitely going to snow.

往好的地方想想 Let's be optimistic.

我不曾想父親竟會欣然同意赴宴 I've never known Father so keen to go out to dinner.

若不是你答應載埃爾頓一程 If you had not offered Mr. Elton our carriage

我們就能早去早回 we'd be there and home again much quicker.

我怎忍心拒絕 How could I do otherwise

你當時表現得迫不及待想和他一起 when your manner towards him is so encouraging?

我 Me?

我的表現 真是荒唐 My manner? What an idea?!

可不就是你嘛 Yes, you.

他竭力想吸引你的注意倒真是難得 I thought it remarkable how he seemed to want your attention.

你簡直一派胡言 What a ridiculous thing to say!

我 他中意的是哈麗特·史密斯 Me? He's interested in Harriet Smith.

此類事情我從未看走眼過 I'm never wrong about these things.

我保證 埃爾頓先生和我 I assure you, Mr. Elton and I

止於好友 再無更多 are merely very good friends and nothing more.

我只是旁觀者清 Simply an observation.

你最好還是注意一下對他的舉止 You might do well to reconsider your behaviour towards him.

到牧師住所了 Here we are at the vicarage!

晚上好 兩位 Good evening, one and all.

真是個妙招 What an excellent idea,

冬天用羊皮鋪馬車座 the use of sheepskin for carriages in winter!

太舒服了 How very cosy we all are!

我今早問了哈麗特的情況 I enquired about Harriet this evening

得知她病得更嚴重了 and was told she was worse.

我從未像今晚這樣 熱切期待在寒夜外出 I don't know when I have ever looked forward to an evening out more!

我就知道今晚要下雪 I know it will snow tonight.

太傻了 The folly of it!

我們穿著這麼薄的衣服 Here we are with probably thinner clothing than usual.

還要違背老天爺的意願 樂此不疲地 Heading for, voluntarily, in defiance of nature,

跑到別人家煎熬五個鐘頭 to spend five dull hours in another man's home

嘮叨些陳芝麻爛谷子的舊事 with nothing to say or hear that was not said or heard yesterday.

你該學學 I wish you would learn to

到外人家赴宴的禮節 arrive at a dinner party in the correct manner.

-為什麼不坐馬車來 -因為沒那個必要 - Why can't you bring a coach? - Because there is no need.

我其實更想步行 I was on the point of walking,

但貝西要出來遛彎 but Bessie here wanted an outing,

是吧 貝西 didn't you, Bessie?

堂堂紳士按禮節應該乘馬車赴宴 A gentleman should arrive in a coach and horses.

科爾家區區一個商販之家都能乘馬車 If the Coles, who are traders, can keep a coach,

唐韋爾莊園的主人怎能自降身份 then the master of Donwell Abbey should be equal to it!

科爾家來人了嗎 What, are the Coles coming?

不 當然沒有 No, of course they aren't!

和你同行真是丟人 I'm ashamed to arrive with you.

真是荒唐 愛瑪 Oh, don't be ridiculous, Emma.

再說你可不是和我同行 But you don't arrive with me.

埃爾頓先生在等你呢 看 Mr. Elton is waiting to attend to you. Look.

-紳士... -我這人 - A gentleman... - This gentleman

愛什麼時候出去就什麼時候出去 likes to be able to leave a place when he wishes

不喜歡提前一天備馬車 without sending for horses a day in advance

不過就是到外面吹個涼風 before he goes forth into the cold air.

我喜歡想出就出 He likes to be able to stride out into the world as he wishes

然後想回就回 and go home again when he chooses.

有人還擔心路途不順 Some anxiety about the journey,

但現在安然抵達 他高興壞了 but now he's here, he's happy.

輕點 Careful there!

不要弄壞伍德豪斯小姐的斗篷 Miss Woodhouse's cloak must not be crushed.

-韋斯頓先生 -親愛的愛瑪 - Mr. Weston. - Emma, my dear.

-韋斯頓先生 -埃爾頓先生 - Mr. Weston. - Mr. Elton.

請快告訴我 有弗蘭克的消息嗎 Please tell me, any news of Frank?

他今晚是否會來 Is he coming tonight?

我兒子... 奈特利先生 Well, er, my son... Mr. Knightley.

雖然要照顧他的姨媽 ...though tied to his aunt,

卻像我一樣喜歡到處遊玩 is a bit of a traveller, like myself,

-就在不久以前... -你... - and only the other day... - Do you, erm,

覺得令尊坐在那椅子上舒服嗎 do you think your father is quite comfortable in that chair?

當然 肯定舒服 Yes, I am sure he is.

韋斯頓家人總是照顧很周到 The Weston's always take such care.

我想他們肯定費了不少心 I imagine there has already been

琢磨應該讓父親坐在哪裏 considerable discussion as to the exact placement of his chair.

也許你該親自去問問 Maybe you should ask him?

對啊 熱衷四處遊歷 Oh, yes, bit of a traveller.

弗蘭克精力過盛 如同我年少之時 You see, Frank is quite impetuous, like his father.

他逮著機會便騎著他那匹黑馬飛奔 He's always dashing off on his black stallion whenever he can.

我們聽說不久前的一天 他已經啟程回來 Only the other day we heard that he was on his way here,

都已經到伯福德了 你猜怎麼了 he got as far as Burford and what do you think happened?

真吊人胃口 怎麼了 Oh, how tantalising?! What happened?

伍德豪斯小姐 伍德豪斯小姐 Miss Woodhouse, Miss Woodhouse?

請允許我為你端點飲品 Allow me to fetch you a drink,

能到這邊小坐嗎 if you would be so good to sit over here?

不了 謝謝你 埃爾頓先生 No, thank you, Mr. Elton.

我暫時什麼都不需要 I do not need anything at the moment.

故事就是這樣 So that was the end of it,

那我們還等什麼 and why we're still waiting.

失陪了 我得去看看晚餐準備得如何 If you'll excuse me, I must see how dinner is progressing.

奈特利先生 Mrs. Knightley.

多美好的晚宴啊 Well, isn't this lovely?

埃爾頓先生 坐這裏 Ah, Mr. Elton, sit here.

伊莎貝拉坐這裏 And Isabella.

謝謝你 韋斯頓先生 Thank you, Mr. Weston.

坐在韋斯頓先生旁邊 Next to Mr. Elton.

伍德豪斯小姐 Miss Woodhouse.

親愛的愛瑪 坐我們旁邊吧 Emma, my dear, next to us.

再來兩人就完美了 We only needed two more settings to be the perfect number.

你的史密斯小姐 還有我兒子弗蘭克 Your little Miss Smith, and my son, Frank.

親愛的 我希望你不要惱火 I do hope you do not feel offended, my dear.

總有一天你們會見面的 One day you two shall meet.

真遺憾 你聽說了嗎 愛瑪 Such a pity, did you hear, Emma?

弗蘭克告訴他父親 Frank told his father

有一天他已經備好馬 that one day he saddled up his horse,

就是那匹黑色野馬 正要啟程來海伯裏 a great black beast, and set off for Highbury,

剛到車站便收到一封信 only to be met at the coaching station by a letter

說他姨媽又病倒了 saying his aunt had fallen ill once more,

於是他又掉頭回去 so he had to turn back.

別擔心我有所不悅 Do not worry on my account.

我盼著見他已經盼了二十年 As I have waited eagerly to meet him for nearly 20 years,

再等幾周又有何妨 a few more weeks will not be too difficult to bear.

我認為那樣衝動而魯莽地啟程回家 I think to set off like that impulsively, recklessly even,

不顧冒犯姨媽 只為向父親盡孝道 to risk disobeying his aunt in order to do a duty to his father

恰恰說明丘吉爾先生品德高尚 shows a fineness of spirit in Mr. Churchill,

是個浪漫而善良的 a keenness of feeling, a most romantic nature

性情中人 and a thoroughly good heart.

真苦了那匹馬 It's the horse I'm sorry for.

對我來說 For my part

我倒更期待會會這位青年才俊了 it only makes my anticipation on meeting this young man even stronger.

任何女士都會為這種英勇的紳士所為傾倒 Any woman would respond to such heroic, gentlemanly impulses.

我以為紳士都應該乘馬車的 I thought gentlemen always rode in carriages.

每每想到弗蘭克·丘吉爾 我都覺得很痛心 I cannot think of Frank Churchill without the greatest compassion.

他姨媽彷彿通靈一樣 His aunt seems to have a sixth sense

只要他對除自己以外的任何人有所關心 whenever he gives his attention to anyone else but her

就會讓他良心難安 主動回去 and calls his conscience home again.

她把他當成寵物狗一樣 She keeps him like a dog on a lead.

我想你們是在談史密斯小姐感冒的事吧 I hope that you are talking of Miss Smith's cold?

我們都知道患病的風險 We are all aware of the danger.

大家都很擔心 Oh, yes, we are all very concerned.

或許我們該馬上回去 Maybe you wish to leave soon

這樣你便能早些得知她的最新情況 so that you can find out the latest news of her condition?

我想您肯定和我一樣 I hope that you, like myself,

勸伍德豪斯小姐 have been urging Miss Woodhouse

不要靠近戈達德家半步 not to go within half a mile of Goddard's,

否則很可能會染病 when there is the chance of catching an infection.

伍德豪斯小姐身體安好是最重要的 Miss Woodhouse's health is paramount.

她向來對大家關懷備至 So concerned for others!

她就不能也照顧好自己嗎 And will she take care of herself?

這樣公平嗎 韋斯頓夫人 Is this fair, Mrs. Weston?

我難道沒有權利抱怨嗎 Have I not the right to complain?

我就知道 外面飄起了鵝毛大雪 I knew it! It's snowing and falling heavily.

我真佩服這天氣您也敢外出 I did admire your spirit, sir, in venturing out,

現在嘗到苦頭了吧 but now do you see where we are?!

我早就看見有少許雪花 I saw a few flakes earlier,

但我想我只要一說 but I thought if I said anything

伍德豪斯先生就會急著回去 Mr. Woodhouse would go.

別緊張 父親 Don't panic, Father.

我不能留在這裏 I can't stay.

不 不 我們肯定能想辦法回家 No, no, no, no, we will find a way to make it home.

我們要馬上走 We must go immediately.

用我幫忙嗎 May I be of assistance?

不用 沒事 謝謝 No, everything's fine, thank you.

如果陷到溝裏 我還能走 If we get stuck in a ditch, I can walk.

就你這鞋子 恐怕不行 In those shoes? I don't think so.

各位可以在此留宿呀 But you must all stay here!

我們有很多客房 We have plenty of room.

如果大家願意 可以整個聖誕節都在寒舍度過 You can stay for the whole of Christmas, if you please.

-我不能留在這裏 -親愛的 - I can't stay. - Oh, dear.

恐怕我們只有兩間客房 I'm afraid we only have two guest rooms.

我去叫奈特利先生 I will call Mr. Knightley.

親愛的 冷靜一下 Calm yourself, my dear.

我剛去查看了一下海伯裏路 I've just been down the Highbury Road.

路面的雪尚未達半英吋厚 The snow is not above half an inch anywhere.

大家不會被雪困在這裏的 There's no danger of anyone being marooned here by the snow.

你父親肯定不放心 你們何不立刻先走 Now, your father will not be easy. Why don't you go?

我已經準備好了 就看大家了 I am ready, if the others are.

要我叫馬車嗎 Shall I ring for the coaches?

我們必須盡快走 拜託了 We must go as soon as possible, please.

我要戴帽子和圍巾 裹嚴實才行 I must get my hat and my scarf, wrap up.

-再見 -今晚真的很愉快 - Bye! - It's been a lovely evening, everybody.

很高興今日能與各位相聚 It's very good to see you.

希望各位平安到家 聖誕快樂 Safe journey home and Merry Christmas,

大家聖誕快樂 Merry Christmas to you all.

約翰 這個 這是我們的馬車 John! This, this is our carriage.

對啊 沒錯 Well, that's all right, isn't it?

我要去安撫你父親 I'll, er, calm your father

埃爾頓先生護送你吧 and Mr. Elton can escort you.

約翰 約翰 John, John!

來了來了 親愛的 Yes, yes, my darling.

拿著 Here, take this.

馬車備好了 Your carriage awaits.

終於來了 約翰 There you are, John.

雪落花飛螢光閃 How brightly they shine.

馬車獨行佳人伴 How fortunate that we are alone.

肯定是 It, um,

星星帶給我們的好運 must be written in the stars!

伍德豪斯小姐 Miss Woodhouse,

讓我成為這世上最幸福的男人 make me the happiest man in the world.

我仰慕你 當然你肯定不會驚訝 I adore you. Of course, it will not be a surprise.

你如果拒絕我我會痛不欲生 I will die if you refuse me.

埃爾頓先生 請不要這樣 Mr. Elton, stop this at once!

你顯然是喝醉了 You have obviously been drinking.

我提醒一下你 你早已屬意史密斯小姐 Might I remind you of your attachment to Miss Smith.

你說什麼 Um, what are you talking about?

你上月才對史密斯小姐表露心意 I speak of your regard for Miss Smith this last month,

就是你來哈特菲爾德的時候 your visits to Hartfield.

現在你又向我求愛 And now you profess your love for me,

你怎麼會這麼善變 真沒想到 what fickleness of character! I am astonished.

可是我對史密斯小姐沒有絲毫心動 But I have never paid the slightest attention to Miss Smith,

只把她看作你的朋友 except as your friend.

就她而言 她是死是活我一點不在意 For herself, I couldn't care less if she lives or dies.

不 不能這麼說 Oh! No, no, no.

過去幾周 我所做的一切 Everything I have done over the past few weeks is to show my,

都是為了向你表明心跡 my marked adoration for you.

我的意圖應該顯而易見吧 Surely that was...obvious?

原諒我這個... Forgive me for being a,

初涉情感的人 笨拙的求愛 er, novice, in the ways of love,

第一次開口 你故意假裝拒絕我也是當然 for of course you will modestly pretend to refuse me the first time.

別碰我的手 先生 請你坐回去 Let go of my hand, sir! And sit over there!

你是不是... Am I to understand that you...

從未喜歡過史密斯小姐 you never preferred Miss Smith?

從未喜歡過 小姐 Never, madam!

史密斯小姐是個好姑娘 Miss Smith is a good sort of girl

肯定會有男人不介意... and no doubt there will be some who can overlook the, er,

她的出身 circumstance of her birth.

但我覺得我沒必要 But I think that I do not have to

自降身格 stoop to her level.

我的心思 都在你身上 No, my hopes were all entirely for you.

我是受到你的鼓勵才這樣的 Led, I might say, by the marked encouragement that you gave me.

你誤會了 先生 You are mistaken, sir.

我一直視你為我朋友的追求者 I only thought of you as a suitor for my friend.

很遺憾你誤會了 I am sorry that you are mistaken

但我從未鼓勵過你 but I never gave you any encouragement.

我從未想過婚姻之事... I have no thoughts of matrimony...

目前而言 at the present.

一切都是你的錯 愛瑪 This is your fault, Emma.

難道他真的喜歡我的才藝 Was he really admiring my talent

勝過哈麗特的美貌 rather than Harriet's form?

埃爾頓不會如你願的 Elton will not do.

他知道自己年輕帥氣 He knows he is a very handsome young man

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

我怎麼能這麼傻呢 How could I have been so stupid?

我該怎麼跟哈麗特說 How am I going to tell Harriet?

好了 亨利 All right, Henry.

-跑 -蹲下 - Go! - Duck!

還記得嗎 我們以前就是這麼玩的 This is how we used to play, do you remember?

當然記得 我們常常把雪堆得很高 Oh, yes, we used to load up that poor nymph

快把僊女給埋住了 so she was almost buried!

好了 來教教他們怎麼玩吧 Right, let's show them how it's done, shall we?

愛瑪以前最厲害 記得嗎 Emma used to be the best at it, do you remember?

她人呢 Where is she?

快給我放下 Now put that down.

-打中了 -打中帽子了 - Oh, yes, we got him! - Right on the hat!

埃爾頓先生的來信很是奇怪 A very strange letter from Mr. Elton,

說他很抱歉不能來看望我 saying he is sorry but he cannot visit me

信裏沒有提到你 愛瑪 and there's no mention of you, my dear Emma.

但我不記得有邀請他聖誕節過來呀 But I am not aware of having invited him over Christmas.

你記得嗎 親愛的 Did you, my dear?

他說雪化之後他要去巴斯 He says that when the snow is cleared he is going to visit Bath.

他的友人期待他的陪伴 His friends have begged him for his company.

該你了 Your turn.

請進 Come in.

是伍德豪斯小姐啊 你能來太好了 Oh, Miss Woodhouse, how kind of you to come.

我知道你多麼珍視與家人共處的時光 I know your time with the family is so precious.

你真是太周到了 How extremely thoughtful of you.

我也有薄禮回贈 不足掛齒 I have something small in return, it's just a trifle.

伍德豪斯小姐 Why, Miss Woodhouse..

你怎麼了 What's the matter?

有誰生病了嗎 Is someone ill?

我能理解 I understand.

想來也是情理之中的事 It is only natural that,

本來就該是你 伍德豪斯小姐 that it should've been you, Miss Woodhouse,

才是他鍾情的人 that he preferred.

我怎能配得上他 I never could have deserved him.

只是你對我的友情太深厚 It is only because you are so good a friend

才誤以為他會愛上我 that you thought it possible.

都是我的錯 It is all my fault

我十分後悔給你帶來的痛苦 and I bitterly regret the pain that I have caused.

不 你不可歸咎於自己 No, you must not take any blame.

你是如此善良 You are all goodness

他又遠非我高攀得起 and he is so very far above me.

我是犯了傻 It was foolish and,

又自以為是 and conceited of me to,

才會對他有非分之想 to raise my sights to him.

他想娶的是你 It was you that he asked to marry.

或許你會改變心意 願意步入婚姻殿堂? Maybe you would change your mind on matrimony?

絕無可能 Certainly not!

我無意改變 尤其不會為他這樣... I would not change my mind, especially for someone as...

這事怪不得別人 都是我的錯 There is no blame attached to anyone but myself.

他會為他的選擇後悔的 He will regret his decision,

因為你是我永遠都比不上的人 for you are a far better person than I could ever be.

我確實努力忘記埃爾頓先生 I do try so hard to forget about Mr. Elton

可他是如此出眾的男子典範 but he is such a superior example of manhood.

他寫的那首詩是那麼優雅又高貴 That verse he wrote was so very fine and noble,

雖說那是寫給你的 even though it was for you.

"才思敏捷" 這話肯定不會是說我 "Ready wit", you see, of course he could never have meant me!

看啊 多好看的新櫥窗陳設 Oh, look, a lovely new window display.

我覺得那副手套很像 I believe those are very like the gloves

埃爾頓先生去年冬天戴的那副 Mr. Elton chose for last winter.

那會兒天氣剛轉冷 Just as it turned colder,

手套是棕色的 上面還有兔毛 the brown with rabbit fur

多麼雅致 and so elegant.

不知貝茨小姐是否在家 I wonder if Miss Bates is at home?

貝茨小姐 我知道今天是週四 Miss Bates! I know that it is Thursday

所以按理說簡還沒有來信 and therefore no possibility of hearing any news of Jane,

不過 費爾法克斯小姐有什麼新消息嗎 but do you have any news of Miss Fairfax?

有勞掛心 伍德豪斯小姐 How very kind, Miss Woodhouse,

不過確實發生了極不尋常的事 but something most unusual has happened.

她真讓我們又驚又喜 What a surprise she gave us.

跟她的信也就前後腳進門 No sooner did her letter arrive than she did!

費爾法克斯小姐 Miss Fairfax!

真高興能再見到你 I'm so pleased to see you again.

請允許我向你介紹哈麗特·史密斯 Let me introduce Harriet Smith?

兩位請坐吧 Oh, please, do sit down.

簡原本是受邀前往愛爾蘭 Jane was invited to go to Ireland,

陪同坎貝爾一家去看望他們的女兒 with the Campbells, to visit their daughter

以及她的未婚夫 迪克遜先生 and her betrothed, Mr. Dixon.

-你和坎貝爾小姐一定情同姐妹 -是啊 - You and Miss Campbell are like sisters almost. - Oh, yes.

自從簡離開這裏 Ever since Jane left the vicarage

住進坎貝爾上尉家就一直如此 to live with Captain Campbell.

她跟她父母一樣心地善良 Like her parents, she is kindness itself,

她優雅又不失親切 she is elegant and gracious,

雖然她不如簡生得標緻 even if she is not as handsome as Jane.

姨媽 Aunt!

抱歉 親愛的 可這是實話 Oh, I'm sorry, my dear, but it is the truth.

我想你的朋友迪克遜先生 I believe your friend Mr. Dixon

在愛爾蘭有座不錯的莊園吧 has a lovely estate in Ireland?

是啊 簡說那裏很美呢 Oh, yes, it's quite beautiful, Jane says.

但她還是決定來這兒了 But she has decided to come here instead.

簡說愛爾蘭十分迷人 Jane says Ireland is so very beautiful.

迪克遜先生還告訴簡... Mr. Dixon has told Jane that...

怎麼了 親愛的 What, what is the matter now, my dear?

我只是想說 我都坐在這兒了 I was merely about to point out, that as I am in the room,

你就不用逐字逐句地複述我的信了 it is not necessary to recount every detail of my letters.

對了... Well, here...

有一段 如果我沒記錯... The passage, if I remember...

我肯定就在... I'm sure that...

沒錯 Ah, here,

"在我們數次愉快的散步途中 "On our many pleasant walks,

迪克遜先生談及他的家鄉 Mr. Dixon talks of his family home

言辭中滿是熱愛和眷戀" with delicate affection and regard."

坎貝爾上校和夫人 Colonel and Mrs. Campbell

對女兒家教甚嚴 were very particular about their daughter

不許她與迪克遜先生獨處 not being alone with Mr. Dixon,

所以簡就做了他們的女伴 so Jane was their chaperone

一直如影隨形 這樣就恰當得體了 and with them always and all was right and proper.

坎貝爾家准你回來 你一定倍感幸運吧 You must feel very fortunate that the Campbells have allowed you home?

坎貝爾家一直對我關愛有加 十分慷慨 The Campbells have always treated me with love and generosity.

確實如此 他們去哪兒都想帶著她 Indeed, they wanted to take her everywhere with them.

他們很失望簡不能一同前往戈爾韋[愛爾蘭城市] They are disappointed she cannot go to Galway.

尤其是迪克遜先生 Mr. Dixon in particular!

迪克遜先生 Mr. Dixon?

是啊 他格外失望 Oh, yes. He especially,

他們在威茅斯時 他有恩於簡 ever since the service he did Jane when they were in Weymouth.

姨媽 Aunt!

簡 親愛的 你或許不願多提 Jane, dear, you may wish to,

可我不能忘記 but I cannot forget.

迪克遜先生是你的救命恩人啊 We owe Mr. Dixon your life!

他救了你的命 He saved your life?

真浪漫啊 是誰救了你 How romantic! Who saved your life?

只是小事一樁 It was nothing.

怎能說是小事 Nothing, indeed!

迪克遜先生救了她的命 Mr. Dixon saved her life.

那是去年夏天在威茅斯 It was in Weymouth last summer,

簡和迪克遜先生外出散步 Jane and Mr. Dixon were out walking

還有迪克遜先生和坎貝爾小姐的幾位摯友 with a party of Mr. Dixon and Miss Campbell's dearest friends,

簡踩到一塊石頭差點滑倒 when Jane slipped on a stone

迪克遜先生上前一步救下她 and Mr. Dixon stepped in and saved her

否則她必死無疑 from almost certain death!

從那以後 Ever since that moment,

我們對坎貝爾小姐的未婚夫就頗有好感 Miss Campbell's betrothed has been a favourite in this house.

不是什麼大事 根本算不上險情 It was nothing. I, I was in no danger.

簡最討厭小題大作 都不許我寫信 Jane hates fuss so much she forbade me to write

感謝他對我們的恩情 and thank him for his great service to us.

我們可不想迪克遜先生覺得你忘恩負義 We do not wish Mr. Dixon to think you ungrateful.

他不會那麼想的 He would not think that.

我是說 他根本不會想到我的 I mean, he would not think of me at all.

真不知完美無缺的費爾法克斯小姐怎麼會 I wonder why the wonderful Miss Fairfax should be so

如此不願承認迪克遜先生救她一命的事 reluctant to acknowledge Mr. Dixon's saving her life.

我覺得她比我記憶裏的樣子還更拘謹 I believe she is even more reserved than I remember,

諱莫如深 三緘其口 so secretive and unforthcoming.

再說她為什麼要搬回貝茨小姐寒磣的小房子裏 And why would she move home to Miss Bates' tiny little cottage

而不去愛爾蘭 when she could go to Ireland

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?

除非她另有隱情 不能或是不願去那兒 Unless there was another reason why she could not or would not?

你絮絮叨叨說些什麼 伍德豪斯小姐 Oh, what was that you said, Miss Woodhouse?

打擾一下 先生 Excuse me, sir!

你迷路了嗎 先生 You seem lost, sir.

我沒迷路 I am not lost.

請原諒 我以為你是外鄉人 Oh, forgive me for thinking you must be a stranger

不認識路 你似乎... and do not know your way. You seemed...

沒想好要往哪兒走 undecided as to where you were going.

需要我幫你指指方向嗎 May I help you in the right direction?

你認識這一帶的路嗎 You know this area?

我從小生活在此 I've lived here all my life.

我能很準確地給你指路呢 I think you will find me quite accurate.

我想也是 I'm sure I would.

不過就不勞你指路了 But I have no need of your direction.

我很清楚我在哪兒 I know exactly where I am.

不過還是多謝你費心了 Thank you for your trouble, all the same.

她看起來確實有些消沉 She does look a little subdued.

你真確定她不是病了什麼的嗎 Are you really quite sure she is not ill with something?

不 她沒生病 只是有些失落 No, she is not ill, she is a little unhappy.

哈麗特 親愛的 想喝點茶嗎 Harriet, dear, would you like a little tea?

廚子還做了些很美味的餅乾 And Cook has made some very pleasant biscuits.

不知你們聽沒聽到新聞 I wondered if you had heard the news?

太好了 有新聞 Oh, good. News.

我們正需要點樂子 We are in need of entertaining.

我只是 我只想說 Well, I just, er, I just wanted to say that

我很高興你抽出時間去拜訪簡·費爾法克斯了 I was glad to hear that you had made time to visit Jane Fairfax,

你做得很得體 it was the right thing to do.

這叫什麼新聞 That is hardly news!

親愛的伍德豪斯小姐 My dear Miss Woodhouse!

多謝你送來的豬後腿 真是塊好肉 Thank you so much for the pork, such a beautiful hindquarter!

你聽說了嗎 埃爾頓先生要結婚了 Have you heard the news? Mr. Elton is to be married.

多善感的姑娘啊 我們都為他感到高興 Oh, what an emotional girl! We are all so happy for him!

他才在巴斯待了四周 就訂婚了 He has been in Bath these four weeks only and he is engaged!

多突然啊 不過要是兩情相悅... So very sudden... but then where love is concerned.

我很高興你能喜歡那塊豬肉 I am so pleased that you liked the pork.

在哈特菲爾德 我們對豬的飼養十分精心 We rear the pigs with great care here at Hartfield.

我敢說味道一定好極了 Oh, marvellous taste, I am sure.

她心腸真柔軟 為埃爾頓先生開心成這樣 What a tender heart she has to be so pleased for Mr. Elton.

我母親最喜歡豬的後腿肉了 Mother loves the hind of pig, best of all.

那位小姐叫奧古斯塔·霍金斯 Her name is Miss Augusta Hawkins

她身家有兩萬英鎊呢 and she is worth ￡20,000!

你聽說了嗎 奈特利先生 Did you know, Mr. Knightley?

這樣的喜訊我總是後知後覺 I am usually the last to discover glad tidings.

你呢 伍德豪斯小姐 What about you, Miss Woodhouse?

不出所料 I knew it!

我就猜伍德豪斯小姐早對此瞭如指掌 I knew Miss Woodhouse would know all about this,

小姐冰雪聰明 she who is so very wise and

又能洞察人的心思 reads the workings of the human heart so well.

當然早就知道了 Of course she would know.

我想我永遠都會是最後一個 I am sure I would always be the last

知道男婚女嫁這類事情的人了 to know about matters of a romantic nature.

不知道婚禮會何時舉行 I wonder when the marriage will take place.

不過我們畢竟才聽到訂婚的消息 Well, we have only heard the first information of the engagement.

貝茨小姐心無歹意 Miss Bates does not mean any harm.

我知道的 Oh, I know

但她句句如針刺 實在讓人捏一把汗 and that being so it is alarming how often she hits the mark.

我之前是真心認為埃爾頓先生 I had genuinely thought Mr. Elton

與哈麗特很般配 a good match for Harriet.

我也真心覺得 And I really do think her

她與羅伯特·馬丁交往不合適 liaison with Robert Martin is not right for her.

我為此感到抱歉 I am sorry for it.

本就很難判斷 It is difficult to judge

如何讓他人 how to give others

從我們的智慧和洞察中獲益 the benefit of our... wisdom and insight.

是啊 我深有體會 Oh, yes, I know, yes.

你說得對 錯在我...部分在我 You were right, I was wrong... in part.

可是下次 如果還有下次 But next time, if there is to be one,

我會做得好些 I will do better.

你把我們的好消息告訴她了嗎 Have you told her our news?

弗蘭克明天就要回家了 Frank is coming home tomorrow!

此話當真 Are you sure?

我都開始懷疑到底有沒有弗蘭克這個人了 I was beginning to wonder if Frank actually exists,

他總是說好要回來卻又因故作罷 he so often does not arrive when he is heralded.

我不知為何大家都認定了弗蘭克不會來 I don't know why everyone always assumes that Frank will not come.

我覺得沒有理由認為他 I see no reason to suppose that he

有意出爾反爾 以消遣我為樂 takes pleasure in getting my hopes up, just to dash them.

是這樣的 The fact is,

我太想見他 才難掩對他失約的失望之情 I am so keen to see him that I cannot contain my disappointment

但他出於對姨媽的責任 when the duty he owes to his aunt

所以別無選擇 只能留在她的身邊 means he has no choice but to stay by her side.

他這樣的美德都要歸功於你 It is a great credit to you that he is so,

能如此體貼 孝順 so sensitive and gentlemanly.

這樣的心思是教不來的 It is not something that can be taught,

這與生俱來的品德必是來自你這樣的父親 innate good manners could only have come from such a father.

愛瑪小姐 我跟你打賭 Now, Miss Emma, I will make you a wager.

我會帶弗蘭克去哈特菲爾德 I will bring Frank to Hartfield

而且就在明天下午四點整 tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock precisely,

而到時你就能眼見為實 徹底確認 and you will see for yourself, once and for all,

他是個有血有肉的活人 that he is flesh and blood.

-愛瑪 你來了 -伍德豪斯小姐 - Ah, Emma! There you are! - Miss Woodhouse.

容我向你介紹犬子 弗蘭克·丘吉爾先生 May I present my son, Mr. Frank Churchill.

看來你最終是找對路了 You have found your way to us at last!

我聽說過你很多的事 I have heard so much about you,

對你已有似曾相識的感覺 it is almost as if we had already met.

是啊 說起來令人稱奇 Ah, yes. Um, it's the strangest thing.

當我終於能抽身來拜訪 Once I was at last at liberty to visit,

我歸心似箭 一路飛奔回來 well, I found my path here like an arrow from a bow.

我應當來感謝你 伍德豪斯小姐 I am obliged to you, Miss Woodhouse.

我曾多次動身 一心想回來看望父親 Er, I have many times set off, determined to visit my father

可途中又受良心驅使 回到姨媽身邊 but on the way my, my conscience forced my return to my aunt,

她病情真的很重 who really is very ill.

上周我幾乎到達蘭德爾斯 又想到 And last week I almost made it to Randalls when I realised,

我只能停留片刻 so short a visit as I could manage

對我父親的續絃妻子恐怕更是傷害和不敬 would be even more hurtful and disrespectful to the new Mrs. Weston

倒不如乾脆不回來 than no visit at all.

我更不願傷害我父親的感情了 And I would not hurt his feelings for the world.

我也一樣 Nor I.

我正跟你父親說 你們兩人正好能作伴 I was saying to your father what a good pair you make.

我跟弗蘭克說你會帶他在海伯裏轉轉 I told Frank you would be his guide to Highbury.

那太好了 我對這裏完全不瞭解 That would be splendid. I do not know it well at all,

而且 不用說 除了家父我誰都不認識 and, of course, I know no-one here except my, my dear father.

不過我必須要去拜訪一家人 Although there is a family I must visit here.

-好像叫貝恩絲小姐吧 -你是說貝茨小姐嗎 - It's a, a Miss Baines, is it? - Miss Bates?

-對了 是貝茨 -我的天 為何啊 - Bates, yes. - My goodness, why?

我在威茅斯見過她外甥女簡·費爾法克斯 Well, I met her niece, Jane Fairfax, in Weymouth.

對了 我跟弗蘭克說 Yes, I told Frank that

雖然簡在威茅斯時是與有身份的人在一起的 though he will have seen Jane amongst equals in Weymouth,

但在這裏她的家庭生活拮据 here her family are in reduced circumstances

他一定要表現出尊重 and it is important he show respect.

威茅斯嗎 Weymouth?

他們看起來相處得不錯 They seem to be getting along very well.

那你應該跟坎貝爾家很熟吧 So you are acquainted with the Campbells.

你見到那起小事故了嗎 Did you see the incident?

迪克遜先生是不是救了簡·費爾法克斯的命 Did not Mr. Dixon save Jane Fairfax's life?

哦 是啊 當時可是鎮裏熱議的話題呢 Oh, er, yes, yes, it was the talk of the town.

-她說那根本沒什麼 -哦 是嗎 - She said it was nothing. - Oh, did she indeed?

我只能說他確實反應迅速 Well, all I can say is he acted very quickly.

當然了 他站得離她非常近 He was, of course, standing very close to her.

你去過威茅斯嗎 伍德豪斯小姐 Have you ever been to Weymouth, Miss Woodhouse?

沒有 Er, no.

我從沒離開過海伯裏 I have never travelled outside of Highbury.

但你看起來這麼自信成熟 處事老練 But you are so assured, so sophisticated.

-我以為你一定去過的 -沒有 - No I, I felt sure you had. - No.

海伯裏對我來說就像天堂 Highbury has everything I need.

-我從沒想過要去旅行 -天吶 不 - I never want to travel. - Oh, dear, no.

愛瑪根本不需要外出旅行 Emma has no need to travel anywhere.

確實如此 先生 Indeed so, sir.

賣鵝蛋啦 賣鵝蛋啦 Goose eggs! Goose eggs!

這個是愛爾蘭產的嗎 Is that an Irish breed?

韋斯頓夫人 Mrs. Weston.

伍德豪斯小姐 Miss Woodhouse.

我去拜訪貝茨小姐的任務完成了 My duty to Miss Bates is done.

我本來只想待十分鐘 I meant to stay for only ten minutes

可那位小姐說起來就沒完 but the good lady kept on talking.

我已經在那待了四十五分鐘了 I was there for three quarters of an hour

幸好看到你們 才找借口逃了出來 before I saw you and made my escape.

你覺得費爾法克斯小姐怎麼樣 How did you find Miss Fairfax?

我覺得她病怏怏的 而且太拘謹了 Ill, I thought, very ill. Oh, and so reserved.

我猜你一定聽說了她的處境 You have heard the talk of her situation, of course?

你指什麼 What do you mean?

如果她被迫離開坎貝爾家 Well, if she must leave the Campbells

那她就得去做家庭教師 she will have to look for a position as a governess.

請你原諒我如此八卦 You must forgive me for gossiping!

我整個童年時代都在 I spent my whole childhood

聆聽別人對她的讚美 hearing her virtues sung from the tree tops.

我們簡直就是兩個極端 她確實是非常拘謹 We are poles apart. She is so reserved.

這肯定不是什麼吸引人的特質 It's not a very attractive quality, to be sure.

沒有人會愛上一個拘謹的人 One could never love a reserved person.

我猜你和我一樣欣賞我父親的新妻子 Oh, I take it you approve as much as me of my father's new wife?

我原本只猜想她會是一個有品味和頭腦的女人 I expected a woman of taste and judgement

卻沒想到她同時也如此年輕貌美 but never one so young and pretty.

關於這個話題 Ah, now that is a subject

我樂於滔滔不絕地說上幾個小時 you would find me happy to talk about for hours.

有信送到嗎 父親 Has there been any post, Father?

今天上午沒有 親愛的 為何問這個呢 Not this morning, my dear. Why do you ask?

就是隨便問問 No reason.

丘吉爾先生告訴我說 Mr. Churchill told me that

科爾家準備開一個派對來慶祝新裝潢 the Coles are to celebrate their new improvements with a party.

他還勸說他們演奏些音樂呢 Indeed he has persuaded them to have music.

那與你何干 Well, why should that bother you?

反正你從未盼望過收到科爾家的邀請 You would never dream of accepting an invitation from the Coles.

科爾家確實是商人 出身又低 It is true that the Coles are in trade and are of low origin,

我根本沒盼望過收到他們的邀請 and I would never dream of accepting an invitation.

那你還煩躁什麼呢 So what's the problem?

我懂了 你還沒接到邀請 對吧 Oh, I see. You haven't had an invitation yet, have you?

科爾家一定不會邀請我家 你家 和韋斯頓家 The Coles would never invite us, or you, or the Westons.

-我們的地位比他們高太多了 -可我收到了 - We are too superior. - Oh, I've had mine.

-是嗎 -我肯定韋斯頓家也收到邀請了 - Really?! - Pretty sure the Westons have, too.

畢竟這件事是由青年才俊丘吉爾先生籌劃的 The wonderful Mr. Churchill was the architect of the plan, after all.

我覺得科爾家非常失禮 Well, I think it very uncivil of the Coles.

可你剛不是說 他們如果邀請才失禮嗎 You just said it would be rude of them to ask.

確實 但是... Yes, but...

但是你希望可以有拒絕他們的機會 But you wish to be able to refuse them

因為你的等級意識讓你習慣如此 in the manner in which you are accustomed.

-無論如何 我很驚訝你今天在家 -為什麼 - Anyway, I am surprised to find you in today. - Why?

最近我來拜訪時你總不在家 You are usually out and about nowadays whenever I visit.

總是跟那個返鄉浪子在一起 Always in the company of the prodigal son.

奈特利先生 Mr. Knightley,

這麼尖酸刻薄可不像你啊 it does not become you to be sarcastic.

我確實喜歡弗蘭克·丘吉爾的陪伴 I do take pleasure in Frank Churchill's company,

大多數人都如此 除了那些尖酸刻薄的小人 as anyone but the sourest of personalities would,

不過今天上午他出城了 but today he is out of town for the morning.

他二十年都沒回來過 He doesn't come here for 20 years

結果又要消失一整天嗎 and then he disappears for a day?

他有急事 He has urgent business.

他去倫敦剪頭髮了 He has gone to London to have his hair cut.

剪頭髮 果然是"當務之急"啊 His hair cut. Of course, imperative business indeed!

是科爾家送來的邀請 It is an invitation from the Coles.

他們之前沒貿然邀請 They did not like to ask us before

是因為需要先裝一個壁爐的擋板 for they were anxious to first acquire a screen for the fire

讓父親能覺得舒適 so that Father might be at ease.

他們就是這樣周全體貼 謙虛真誠的人 That is the kind of thoughtful, unpretentious people that they are.

不過當然了 你肯定馬上就要回絕他們 But, of course, you must refuse them at once.

還等什麼呢 What are you waiting for?

這個嘛... Well,

鑒於這麼多朋友都會去 as so many of my friends will be there,

而且是丘吉爾先生負責音樂 and as Mr. Churchill is organising the music...

科爾先生 這太美了 Mr. Cole, how lovely!

看來你克服了對科爾家的偏見 I see you have overcome your prejudice against the Coles.

既然他們這麼有禮貌 Well, they were so very civil.

我也不想那麼傲慢地固執己見 And I am not so proud that I cannot admit to changing my mind.

話說回來 Anyway,

你也收起了自己的傲慢 接受了我的建議嘛 you are not so proud that you cannot take my advice.

那輛馬車... The coach...

你的到場方式終於符合紳士作風了 it is the arrival of a gentleman, at last.

我這次很樂意同你一起進去了 I am happy to enter the room with you for once.

真是個荒謬的姑娘 Nonsensical girl!

伍德豪斯小姐 Miss Woodhouse!

歡迎您的大駕光臨 We are in need of assistance that only you can give!

我得承認 頭髮確實剪得很好 Well, I must say, it is a fine haircut.

不過我還是不懂 Though I'm not sure

他為什麼非要趕去倫敦剪 why he needed to go all the way to London and back for it.

伍德豪斯小姐 感謝您的光臨 Oh, Miss Woodhouse, thank you so much for coming.

真是蓬蓽生輝啊 We are so honoured to invite you into our home.

希望您今晚過得愉快 I hope you will enjoy the evening.

我會的 謝謝 I'm sure I shall. Thank you.

真是了不得的東西啊 It was the most extraordinary thing.

我去拜訪貝茨小姐 你們猜我見到了什麼 I called on Miss Bates, and what should I see,

一架寄給簡·費爾法克斯的巨大的鋼琴 but the most enormous pianoforte addressed to Jane Fairfax?

那真是架優雅的樂器 但是太大了 It is a very elegant instrument, but so large.

簡完全不知道 Jane was quite at a loss as to

究竟是誰送她一份如此貴重的禮物 who might have sent her this magnificent gift.

-那到底是誰送的啊 -簡完全不知道 - Well, who would have sent it? - Jane has no idea.

但肯定是坎貝爾上校送的吧 Well, it must be Colonel Campbell, surely?

她說他最近的信裏沒提到禮物的事情 She said he wrote recently and did not mention the gift.

真是個謎啊 It is a mystery!

失陪 Excuse me.

失陪 Excuse me.

你笑什麼呢 Why are you smiling?

那你又笑什麼呢 Why are you?

我很高興坎貝爾上校 I am happy that Colonel Campbell

如此慷慨地送了簡一份厚禮 has sent Jane such a generous gift.

你看起來不太相信 You look sceptical.

你覺得送禮物的另有其人嗎 Do you have another candidate?

我記得迪克遜先生 I seem to remember Mr. Dixon

覺得費爾法克斯小姐在鋼琴上的造詣無人可及 thought Miss Fairfax unsurpassed at the piano.

真的嗎 那坎貝爾小姐會怎麼想 Indeed! And how did Miss Campbell take that?

可憐的坎貝爾小姐 Poor Miss Campbell.

想想她真是悲劇 Imagine the misery of

寄養的姐妹總在自己身邊礙手礙腳 always having one's particular friend at hand,

何況還樣樣都比自己優秀 to do everything so much better than oneself.

送禮的人應該就是坎貝爾上校吧 Surely it must be Colonel Campbell, hmm?

但坎貝爾上校為什麼要如此神神秘秘的 But why would Colonel Campbell do so in secret?

為何置她的名聲於不顧 Why would he risk her reputation?

紳士永遠不會置淑女的名聲於不顧 A gentleman would never risk a lady's reputation.

當然了 除非他處於瘋狂的熱戀當中 Unless, of course, he was most ardently in love.

-當然了 -伍德豪斯小姐 - Of course. - Er, Miss Woodhouse.

請務必 Please,

賞光為我們彈奏一曲 would you do us the honour of playing?

*噢 請告訴我* *Oh, where, tell me where*

*那高地少年身在何方* *is your Highland laddie gone?*

*噢 請告訴我* *Oh, where, tell me where*

*那高地少年身在何方* *is your Highland laddie gone?*

*他追隨著勇士們* *He has gone with streams of valours*

*去完成那高尚的事業* *where noble deeds are done.*

*而我悲傷的心會一直顫抖* *And my sad heart will tremble*

*直至他平安歸來* *till he comes safely home.*

*噢 請告訴我* *Oh, where, tell me where*

*那高地少年駐足何方* *did your Highland laddie stay?*

*噢 請告訴我* *Oh, where, tell me where*

*那高地少年駐足何方* *did your Highland laddie stay?*

*他安家在那冬青樹下* *He dwelt beneath the holly bush*

*就在那奔流的斯佩河邊* *beside the rushing Spey*

*你的祝福永遠追隨 他踏著夜色離去的腳步* *where your blessing followed him the night he went away.*

*他安家在那冬青樹下* *He dwelt beneath the holly bush*

*就在那奔流的斯佩河邊* *beside the rushing Spey*

*你的祝福永遠追隨 他踏著夜色離去的腳步* *where your blessing followed him the night he went away.*

費爾法克斯小姐 能請您 Miss Fairfax, would you,

能請您賞光為我們演奏一曲嗎 er, would you honour us with a brief tune?

我堅持 請務必賞光 Please, I insist, please.

她彈得比我好太多了 She is so very much a better player than I am.

告訴我 親愛的 Tell me, my dear,

你能猜出來今天貝茨小姐 can you guess how Miss Bates

和簡·費爾法克斯是怎麼來的嗎 and Jane Fairfax arrived here today?

肯定是走來的吧 Well, they walked, surely?

我也是這麼想的 我想到簡身體不好 And so I thought. It struck me that Jane is not well

也許會需要有人送她一程 and would appreciate a ride home

所以我提議用馬車送她 so I offered her our carriage.

她表示感謝 不過她說是奈特利先生 She thanked me but said that Mr. Knightley

派馬車去接來了她們 也會送她們回去的 had sent his carriage to fetch them and would take them home.

我覺得他就是為此才驅馬車前來的 I think he only brought his carriage for that purpose alone.

這太像他的風格了 That is just what he would do.

而他卻從未向我透露半個字 And he never said a word to me.

女士們先生們 我成功勸說費爾法克斯小姐 Ladies and gentlemen, I have persuaded Miss Fairfax

為我們演奏三首民謠 to perform three lovely ballads for us.

丘吉爾先生 就一首 Mr. Churchill, please, one.

她當然不能彈奏三首 Surely she can't play all those,

她會累壞的 you will tire her out with all this playing.

我向你保證 費爾法克斯小姐... Oh, I assure you Miss Fairfax is...

事實上 我覺得奈特利先生 Indeed, I have been thinking that our Mr. Knightley

可能終於找到滿意的結婚對象了 might just have turned his mind to matrimony at last.

不 你一定搞錯了 Oh, no, you are mistaken!

奈特利先生絕不會結婚的 Mr. Knightley will never marry!

你真是大錯特錯 You could not be more wrong!

唐韋爾莊園會由我小外甥亨利繼承的 Donwell will go to my little nephew Henry.

想像一下貝茨小姐搬進唐韋爾莊園 Imagine Miss Bates at Donwell,

陰魂不散地在那裏嘮叨 haunting the place

每天都要感謝一遍他娶了簡 and thanking him everyday for his kindness in marrying Jane!

他根本無法忍受 He could not bear it!

別這麼不厚道 愛瑪 Don't be unkind, Emma.

科爾小姐也看出了明顯的跡象 Miss Cole also sees a marked interest.

她和我都覺得我們已經解開了鋼琴之謎 She and I think we have solved the mystery of the pianoforte.

而且奈特利經常說 And Knightley has often said that

簡應當擁有一架更名貴的鋼琴 Jane deserves a better instrument.

現在你完全是在胡說了 Now you talk complete nonsense.

他做事情絕不會偷偷摸摸的 He would never do anything in secret.

他一直對她讚賞有加 He has always spoken very well of her

他還很掛心她的健康問題 and he is so very anxious for her health.

*他招搖過市* *May he strut about*

*捲著小鬍子* *with his whiskers curled,*

*把他的一百個妻子* *keep a hundred wives*

*都看得牢牢的* *under lock and key*

*除了他無人可見* *and nobody else but himself to see.*

*他長時間地禱告* *Yet long may he pray*

*誦讀他的《古蘭經》* *with his Al Koran*

*才能像愛爾蘭男人一樣投入愛情* *before he can love like an Irishman.*

紳士永遠不會置淑女的名聲於不顧 A gentleman would never risk a lady's reputation.

當然了 除非他處於瘋狂的熱戀當中 Unless, of course, he was most ardently in love.

下集預告

我們知道你對簡·費爾法克斯讚賞有加 We know how highly you think of Jane Fairfax.

眾人都知道我對簡·費爾法克斯讚賞有加吧 Anyone may know how highly I think of Jane Fairfax.

就算他們要結婚 我也不會感到驚訝的 I shouldn't be surprised if we were yet to hear wedding bells.

她收到了一封從愛爾蘭寄來的信 She had received a letter from Ireland

那信讓她非常開心 that made her very happy.

也許是她的朋友 迪克遜先生寄來的 Perhaps from her friend, Mr. Dixon.

一場舞會 伍德豪斯小姐 A ball, Miss Woodhouse,

你覺得辦場舞會怎麼樣 what say you to a ball?

我覺得很好 I say yes.

任何能跳舞的機會都讓我開心 I am so happy to have any opportunity to dance.

跑 快跑 Go, go, go!

史密斯小姐 Miss Smith.

我相信他要對我說的話 I am sure he cannot be about to say anything

你聽了也沒關係的 that you could not hear also.

他肯定只希望講給你聽 I'm sure he can.
