开始
Begin.
安妮·伯朗特的
Anne Bront.
一生
A Life
你觉得安妮·伯朗特比夏洛特和艾蜜莉更出色
You think Anne Bront? is better than Charlotte or Emily?
我才没有
I do not!
《荒野庄园的房♥客》 是的
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Yes.
比《呼啸山庄》更重要？
a more important book than Wuthering Heights?
不！不！ 这是什么看法嘛！？
No, no! The very idea!
不，不是更出色 我同意你的说法
No. Not better. I agree with you.
我是说，安妮比艾蜜莉更具现代感
I’m saying that Anne is more modern than Emily.
特别是从女性地位的观点而言
Particularly with respect to the status of women.
更胜于夏洛特伯朗特写的 《简爱》吗？
More so than Charlotte Bront?, when she wrote Jane Eyre?
我才不认为，非常不可能
Very doubtful. Doubtful, doubtful, doubtful.
你认为就因为我穷，不起眼 平庸又矮小
“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little,
我就没灵魂，没心吗？
that I am soulless and heartless?
你错了！我和你一样充满灵气 满怀爱心！”
You think wrong!?I have as much soul as you! And full as much heart!”
喔！你讲得太精彩了！
Oh! You did that beautifully!
我很喜欢《简爱》
I do love Jane Eyre!
《简爱》？那是
Jane Eyre? Is that
我也是！就像简宣称的 “我和你一样充满灵气”
As do I! And while Jane’s assertion, “I have as much soul as you,”
真的很了不起 等于是直接向男人宣言
was remarkable, directed to a gentleman,
为两性平等概念掀起了开端
it only begins to get at the idea of equality between them.
《荒野庄园的房♥客》 安妮·伯朗特赤♥裸♥裸地刻划出
In Wildfell Hall,Anne Bront laid bare the essential imbalance
令人窒息的维多利亚式婚姻
of power between men and women in the suffocating
男女之间权力的不平等
hierarchical structureof Victorian marriage.
她挑战整个社会的传统思维方式
She challenged the conventional thinking of an entire society!
并且改变人们心智！
And changed people’s minds!
说得好！
Well done!
我还不晓得安妮·伯朗特还真 贡献良多呢，可不是？
Oh, I had no idea! Anne Bront?, she did quite a bit, didn’t she?
讲得真好，艾许顿小姐 不顾所有争议，坚持你的看法
Well done, Miss Ashton. You kept going against all the arguments!
不过，我认为
But I’m afraid
你尚未经历全套体验
you’ve yet to have the full experience.
喔，我觉得不太可能
Oh, I find that difficult to believe.
这是你今天第二次死里逃生 不错嘛！
That’s the second attack you’ve survived today. It was good.
道地的土豆皮派上桌萝！
An authentic potato peel pie!
原始食谱配方
Original recipe.

No butter, no flour, no
就只是土豆
Well, it’s potatoes.
还有土豆皮
And potato peelings.
你吃完很快就得喝口琴酒
You’ll want this gin quick after.
尝一口吧
Give a little taste, here.
这安全吗？只是土豆罢了
Is this safe? It’s just potatoes.
快点，来
Quick. Here.
超难吃的
It’s the worst!
真的 难吃死了！ 难吃到不行
It’s just it’s awful! It’s horrible.
不过琴酒很好喝
The gin’s very good, though!
她喜欢我的酒
