Marianne felt for her most sincerely; but she did more harm than good to the cause, by turning very red and saying in an angry manner to Margaret,
玛丽安倒是真心实意地同情姐姐，不料却好心帮了倒忙，只见她满脸涨得通红，悻悻然地对玛格丽特说：
"Remember that whatever your conjectures may be, you have no right to repeat them. "
“记住，不管你猜测是谁，你没有权利说出去。”
"I never had any conjectures about it, " replied Margaret; "it was you who told me of it yourself. "
“我从来没有猜测过，”玛格丽特答道，“那是你亲口告诉我的。”
This increased the mirth of the company, and Margaret was eagerly pressed to say something more.
众人一听更乐了，非逼着玛格丽特再透点口风不可。
"Oh! pray, Miss Margaret, let us know all about it, " said Mrs. Jennings. "What is the gentleman's name?"
“啊！玛格丽特小姐，统统说给我们听听吧，”詹宁斯太太说。“那位先生叫什么名字呀？”
"I must not tell, ma'am. But I know very well what it is; and I know where he is too. "
“我不能说，太太。不过我知道他叫什么名字，还知道他在哪儿。”
"Yes, yes, we can guess where he is; at his own house at Norland to be sure. He is the curate of the parish I dare say. "
“哟！我们也猜得出他在哪儿，当然是在诺兰庄园啦。大概还是那个教区的副牧师。”
"No, THAT he is not. He is of no profession at all. "
“不，那他可不是。他压根儿没有职业。”
"Margaret, " said Marianne with great warmth, "you know that all this is an invention of your own, and that there is no such person in existence. "
“玛格丽特，”玛丽安气冲冲地说道，“你知道这都是你无中生有，实际上并不存在这么个人。”
"Well, then, he is lately dead, Marianne, for I am sure there was such a man once, and his name begins with an F. "
“哦，这么说他不久前去世啦？玛丽安，我敢肯定，以前可有过这么个人，他的姓开头一个字是‘费’。”
