衡南县宝盖镇:英语名著文章主要内容

"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 your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,--as we are!"

“你以为我会留下来，成为你觉得无足轻重的人吗？你以为我是一架自动机器吗？一架没有感情的机器吗？能让我的一口面包从嘴里抢走，让我的一滴活水从我杯子里泼掉吗？你以为，因为我穷、低微、不美、矮小，我就没有灵魂没有心了吗？你想错了！——我的灵魂跟你的一样，我的心也跟你的完全一样。我现在跟你说话，并不是通过习俗、惯例，甚至不是通过凡人的肉体——而是我的精神在同你的精神说话，就像两个都经过了坟墓，我们站在上帝的面前，是平等的——因为我们是平等的！”

---------简·爱(Jane Eyre)
