看不见的女人

“when a high, green, vast hillside of water
“卷过危船 向岸上猛扑而来
“moving on shoreward from beyond the ship,
“他好似飞身一跃 随即没入巨浪之中
“he seemed to leap up into it with a mighty bound.
“而危船也消失不见
“And the ship was gone.”

Hearing it spoken, I felt I was in the storm.

看来没法再穿一季了
This will not stretch to another season.
两条袖子都打补丁可不好
I cannot mend another sleeve again.
袖口还没破
The cuffs are still good.
领口上的花边也可以再用
And there’s lace on the collar I can save.

一整天就一整天吧
Then it will take me all day.
你还真是顽固
So, here’s perverseness.
不对 原来查尔斯更得你心
No, no, ’tis Charles only whom you would prefer.
显然他的蠢举与恶习打动了你
‘Tis evident his vices and follies have won your heart.
我完全听从了您
I have obeyed you,
既不见他 亦不与他通信
both in neither seeing nor corresponding with him.
因此不知我还有何错
Yet I cannot think it culpable if,
尽管我由衷厌恶他的种种恶习
though my understanding severely condemns his vices,
但我内心却
my heart professes some…
却希望能体谅他紧张失措
Suggests some pity for his distresses.
唉 那便明晨举♥行♥婚礼罢
Egad, we’ll have the wedding tomorrow morning.
谢谢您 亲爱的叔父
Thank you, dear uncle.
好生无礼 你竟不征询女方的意愿
What, you rogue, don’t you ask the girl’s consent first?
我早已向她求婚
I have done that a long time…
大约一分钟之前吧 而且她
A minute ago and she looked…
-心甘情愿 -好不知羞 查尔斯
– Yes. – For shame, Charles.
我有异议 彼得爵士 他一个字都未问过
I protest, Sir Peter. There has not been a word.
那是因为我们一个字都听不见
Because we can’t hear a word!
良言贵精不贵多
Well, then the fewer the better.
愿你两人永远相爱 再无怨言
May your love for each other never know abatement.
从此厮守终生 像我和提泽尔夫人
And may you live as happily together
当初期望的那样
as Lady Teazle and I intend to do.
实在太精彩了 内莉
That was very good, Nelly.
