I Have As Much Soul As You
“I tell you I must go!” I retorted, roused to something like passion. “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? – a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; - it is my spirit that addresses you spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,- as we are!”
Excerpt for Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
这段话摘自夏洛蒂 勃朗特(1816-1854)的名著《简 爱》,通过简爱对罗切斯特先生的对话,描绘了一个出身贫苦家庭,长相平凡,无依无靠的家庭女教师的纯洁,热情,坦率,以及敢于追求幸福的女性的象征。这段文字是本书中的经典,这段文字非常简单,我就不翻译了。 |  |  |  |  |
