名著精读《理智与情感》第九章 第1节

~ The Dashwoods were now settled at Barton with tolerable fort to themselves. The house and the garden
with all the objects surrounding them
were now bee familiar
and the ordinary pursuits which had given to Norland half its charms were engaged in again with far greater enjoyment than Norland had been able to afford
since the loss of their father. Sir John Middleton
who called on them every day for the first fortnight
and who was not in the habit of seeing much occupation at home
could not conceal his amazement on finding them always employed.
达什伍德家母女在巴顿定居下来，日于过得还算舒适。房屋、花园以及周围的一草一木都熟悉了，原先给诺兰庄园带来一半魅力的那些日常消遣，现今在这里也都恢复起来。自从父亲下世以后，诺兰庄园一直没有使她们这么快乐过。约翰．米德尔顿爵士在头半个月里天天都来拜访。他在家里清闲惯了，见她们总是忙忙碌碌的，不禁大为惊奇。
Their visitors
except those from Barton Park
were not many; for
in spite of Sir John's urgent entreaties that they would mix more in the neighbourhood
and repeated assurances of his carriage being always at their service
the independence of Mrs. Dashwood's spirit overcame the wish of society for her children; and she was resolute in declining to visit any family beyond the distance of a walk. There were but few who could be so classed; and it was not all of them that were attainable.
达什伍德家的客人除了巴顿庄园一家人，来自别处的并不多。虽然约翰爵士一再恳请她们多与左近邻舍交往，并且一再保证她们可以随时使用他的马车，怎奈达什伍德太太禀性好强，只能委屈女儿们少与外人来往。凡是步行所不能及的人家，她一概拒不走访。其实，属于这种情况的人家本来就寥寥无几，何况还不都是能拜访得成的。
About a mile and a half from the cottage
along the narrow winding valley of Allenham
which issued from that of Barton
as formerly described
the girls had
in one of their earliest walks
discovered an ancient respectable looking mansion which
by reminding them a little of Norland
interested their imagination and made them wish to be better acquainted with it. But they learnt
on enquiry
that its possessor
an elderly lady of very good character
was unfortunately too infirm to mix with the world
and never stirred from home.
一次，小姐们才到不久，出去散步，顺着弯弯曲曲的艾伦汉峡谷漫步走去（前面提到，这就是从巴顿村分出的那条支谷）。在离乡舍大约一英里半的地方，发现一幢古老气派的大宅第。这座宅第多少使她们想起了诺兰庄园，激起了她们的兴趣和遐想，情不自禁地想仔细瞧瞧。谁知一打听，才知道房主是个性情和悦的老太太，不幸的是，她体弱多病，不能与世交往，从来不出家门。
