'Retty Priddle.'
“萊蒂·普里德爾呀?!?/div>
'Oh! Why is that?'
“哦!為什么臉紅呀?”
'Because you are looking at her.'
“因?yàn)槟憷鲜强粗健!?/div>
Self-sacrificing as her mood might be Tess could not well go further and cry, 'Marry one of them, if you really do want a dairywoman and not a lady; and don't think of marrying me!' She followed Dairyman Crick, and had the mournful satisfaction of seeing that Clare remained behind.
苔絲心里也許是一種自我犧牲的精神,但是她做不到再進(jìn)一步而大聲對(duì)他說,“如果你真的不想娶一個(gè)小姐而只想娶一個(gè)奶牛場(chǎng)里的女工做妻子,就在她們中間挑選一個(gè)吧;千萬不要想到娶我!”她跟在奶牛場(chǎng)老板克里克的后面走了,看見克萊爾仍然還留在那兒,心里感到了一種悲哀的滿足。
From this day she forced herself to take pains to avoid him - never allowing herself, as formerly, to remain long in his company, even if their juxtaposition were purely accidental. She gave the other three every chance.
從這一天開始,她就努力強(qiáng)迫自己躲開他——即使他們完全是偶然地碰到了一起,她也不讓自己像從前那樣在他的身邊呆得太久。她要把機(jī)會(huì)留給她們?nèi)齻€(gè)人。
Tess was woman enough to realize from their avowals to herself that Angel Clare had the honour of all the dairymaids in his keeping, and her perception of his care to avoid compromising the happiness of either in the least degree bred a tender respect in Tess for what she deemed, rightly or wrongly, the self-controlling sense of duty shown by him, a quality which she had never expected to find in one of the opposite sex, and in the absence of which more than one of the simple hearts who were his housemates might have gone weeping on her pilgrimage.
從她們?nèi)齻€(gè)女孩子的表白中,苔絲作為一個(gè)女人,完全認(rèn)識(shí)到她們?nèi)齻€(gè)人的名譽(yù)都掌握在克萊爾的手中,但是她也看見克萊爾小心翼翼地回避著她們,絲毫不作有損她們將來幸福的事,這也使苔絲對(duì)他生出溫柔的敬重來,因此,無論她想得對(duì)還是不對(duì),她都認(rèn)為克萊爾表現(xiàn)出一種自我克制的責(zé)任感,她從來沒有想到會(huì)在男人的身上發(fā)現(xiàn)這種品質(zhì),如果缺少了這種品質(zhì),那么和他在同一個(gè)奶牛場(chǎng)里的心地單純的女工們,也許就不止一個(gè)要哭著走完人生的路了。
