Their intended excursion to Whitwell turned out very different from what Elinor had expected. She was prepared to be wet through, fatigued, and frightened; but the event was still more unfortunate, for they did not go at all.
大家一心打算去惠特韦尔游览，但是结果却完全出乎埃丽诺的意料之外。她本来准备给淋得浑身湿透，累得精疲力竭，吓得胆战心惊；然而事情比这还要糟糕，因为他们根本没有去成。
By ten o'clock the whole party was assembled at the park, where they were to breakfast. The morning was rather favourable, though it had rained all night, as the clouds were then dispersing across the sky, and the sun frequently appeared.

十点钟光景，观光的人们聚集到巴顿庄园，准备吃早饭。虽然昨晚下了一夜雨，早晨的天气却相当适意，只见天上的乌云正被驱散，太阳时隐时现。大伙儿兴高采烈，兴致勃勃，迫不及待地想玩乐一番，而且下定决心，即使有天大的艰难险阻，也在所不辞。

正当吃早饭的时候，邮差送信来了，其中有一封是给布兰登上校的。他接过信，一看姓名地址，脸色唰地变了，当即走出了房间。
"What is the matter with Brandon?" said Sir John.
“布兰登怎么啦？”约翰爵士问。
Nobody could tell.
谁也说不上来。
