"Well, for cool native impudence and pure innate pride, you haven't your equal," said he.
“嘿，就冷漠无礼的天性和过分自尊的痼疾而言，你简直无与伦比。”他说。
We were now approaching Thornfield.
这时我们驶近了桑菲尔德。
"Will it please you to dine with me to-day?" he asked, as we re-entered the gates.
“你乐意今天同我一起吃饭吗？”我们再次驶进大门时，他问。
"No, thank you, sir."
“不，谢谢你，先生。”
"And what for, 'no, thank you?' if one may inquire."
“干嘛‘不，谢谢你呢？’要是我可以问的话。”
"I never have dined with you, sir: and I see no reason why I should now: till..."
“我从来没有同你一起吃过饭，先生。也看不出有什么理由现在要这样做，直等到．”
"Till what? You delight in half-phrases."
“直等到什么呀？你喜欢吞吞吐吐。”

"Till I can't help it."
“直等到我万不得已的时候。”
"Do you suppose I eat like an ogre or a ghoul, that you dread being the companion of my repast?"
“你设想我吃起来象吃人的魔王，食尸的鬼魂，所以你害怕陪我吃饭？”
"I have formed no supposition on the subject, sir; but I want to go on as usual for another month."
“关于这点，我没有任何设想，先生，但是我想再过上一个月往常的日子。”
"You will give up your governessing slavery at once."
“你应该马上放弃家庭教师这苦差使。”
"Indeed, begging your pardon, sir, I shall not. I shall just go on with it as usual.
“真的：请原谅，先生，我不放弃。我还是像往常一样过日子，
I shall keep out of your way all day, as I have been accustomed to do:
我将像往常一样，整天不同你见面，
you may send for me in the evening, when you feel disposed to see me, and I'll come then; but at no other time."
晚上你想见我了，便可以派人来叫我，我会来的，但别的时候不行。”
