I don't know how I did it. It happened so quickly. Suddenly I had Dora in my arms and I couldn't stop speaking. I told her how I loved her. I told her I would die without her. And when she blushed and cried a little, I said I had loved her day and night since the moment I had first seen her. I told her that nobody had ever loved or could ever love as much as I loved her.
我不知道我是怎么做的。一切发生得如此迅速。我突然抱住朵拉，滔滔不绝地说个没完。我告诉她我有多爱她，我告诉她没有她我就会死掉。当她红着脸，轻声地哭泣时，我说，从看见她的一瞬间起，我日日夜夜都在爱她，我告诉她，没有人曾像我这么爱她，并永远像我这样爱她。
Somehow I found myself sitting quietly next to Dora on the sofa, holding her little hand. We were engaged！I suppose we realized that one day we would get married, but for the moment we were going to keep our engagement secret from Mr Spenlow. When Miss Mills came in, she was delighted to hear our news, and promised to help us as much as possible.
不知不觉地，我发现自己安静地坐在朵拉身边，握着她的小手。我们订下了终身！我想我们明白将来有一天我们会结婚，但目前我们打算先对斯本罗先生保守我们已经订婚的秘密。米尔斯小姐进来了，她很高兴听到这个消息，并答应尽最大努力帮助我们。
Now began one of the happiest times of my life. When I look back, I see how foolish I was, but how loving and sincere！I visited Dora every day, and I did not have time for anyone or anything else. But in the middle of my excitement I suddenly thought of Agnes, of her clear calm eyes and her gentle face, and I sat down immediately to write to her, and tell her all about Dora. I knew that as my adopted sister she would share my happiness, and I wanted her approval.
这样，我一生中最幸福的时光开始了。我现在回想起来，觉得自己好傻，可又是那么可爱，那么真诚！我每天去看朵拉，没有时间顾及别人，干别的事情。然而，在我兴奋之中我突然想到了阿格尼斯，想到她沉稳的目光和温柔的神情，我立刻坐下来给她写信，告诉她有关朵拉的一切。我知道，作为我的义姐，她会分享我的快乐，而且我需要她的支持。

名著解析：朵拉的死（8）

而且朵拉严重缺乏奋斗力。学简单算账被搞的头脑涨，不一会就思维跑到她的狗“吉普”上，放弃了。让她管家务更让人气愤。最后她甚至放弃了自己的生命，这样的人在现实中当然会淘汰出局，而她的爱情婚姻还能拿什么来拯救。由此更好地存活于当世，不被淘汰出局，我们要更注重个人能力特别是生存能力的培养。我们更需要走出传统观念的局限。要具有开创精神。不要再有不会吃鸡蛋、不会洗衣服的大学生。同样我们学习不能仅仅是仅限于书本中，更是在于生活中，我们要不断拓展学习锻炼的平台，要提高自己动手能力和生存能力。
