I love her against reason , against promise , against peace ,against hope , against happiness , against all discouragement that could be . Once for all .
我爱她是违背常理，是妨碍前程，是失去自制，是破灭希望，是断送幸福，是注定要尝尽一切的沮丧和失望的。可是，一旦爱上了她，我再也不能不爱她。——狄更斯《远大前程》
Each one of us is alone in the world. He is shut in a tower of brass, and can communicate with his fellows only by signs, and the signs have no common value, so that their sense is vague and uncertain.
我们每个人生在世界上都是孤独的。每个人都被囚禁在一座铁塔里，只能依靠一些符号同别人传达自己的思想；而这些符号并没有共同价值，因此它们的意义是模糊的、不确定的。——毛姆《月亮与六便士》
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。——简·奥斯汀《傲慢与偏见》
