You're not turning your head to look after more moths, are you? That was only a lady-clock, child, 'flying away home.' I wish to remind you that it was you who first said to me, with that discretion I respect in you -- with that foresight, prudence, and humility which befit your responsible and dependent position -- that in case I married Miss Ingram, both you and little Adele had better trot forthwith.

I pass over the sort of slur conveyed in this suggestion on the character of my beloved; indeed, when you are far away, Janet, I'll try to forget it: I shall notice only its wisdom; which is such that I have made it my law of action. Adele must go to school; and you, Miss Eyre, must get a new situation.

我并不计较这一建议所隐含的对我意中人人格上的污辱。说实在，一旦你们走得远远的，珍妮特，我会努力把它忘掉。我所注意到的只是其中的智慧，它那么高明，我已把它奉为行动的准则。阿黛勒必须上学，爱小姐，你得找一个新的工作。”

Yes, sir, I will advertise immediately: and meantime, I suppose -- I was going to say, I suppose I may stay here, till I find another shelter to betake myself to: but I stopped, feeling it would not do to risk a long sentence, for my voice was not quite under command.
Thank you, sir; I am sorry to give --

“是的，先生，我会马上去登广告，而同时我想——”我想说，“我想我可以呆在这里，直到我找到另外一个安身之处”但我打住了，觉得不能冒险说一个长句，因为我的嗓门已经难以自制了。
“谢谢你，先生，对不起给你——”

Oh, no need to apologise! I consider that when a dependent does her duty as well as you have done yours, she has a sort of claim upon her employer for any little assistance he can conveniently render her; indeed I have already, through my future mother-in-law, heard of a place that I think will suit: it is to undertake the education of the five daughters of Mrs. Dionysius O'Gall of Bitternutt Lodge, Connaught, Ireland. You'll like Ireland, I think: they're such warm-hearted people there, they say.

dependent [dɪˈpendənt] n.被扶养人：被赡养人：非独立生活的人;依靠者;从属物
译文：
“呵——不必道歉！ 我认为一个下人把工作做得跟你自己一样出色时，她就有权要求雇主给予一点容易办到的小小帮助。 其实我从未来的岳母那儿听到一个适合你去的地方。 就是爱尔兰康诺特的苦果村，教迪奥尼修斯．奥加尔太太的五个女儿，我想你会喜欢爱尔兰的。 他们说，那里的人都很热心。 ”

It is a long way off, sir.
No matter -- a girl of your sense will not object to the voyage or the distance.
Not the voyage, but the distance: and then the sea is a barrier --
From what, Jane?
From England and from Thornfield: and --
Well?
From YOU, sir.
生词：
sense N-SING 天赋;悟性;资质
译文：
“离这儿很远呢，先生。”
“没有关系——像你这样一个通情达理的姑娘是不会反对航程或距离的。”
“不是航程，而是距离。还有大海是一大障碍——”
“离开什么地方，简？”
“离开英格兰和桑菲尔德，还有——”
“怎么？”
“离开你，先生。”
