"Still, if I had married Lord St. Simon, of course I'd have done my duty by him.
"话虽如此，要是我嫁给圣西蒙勋爵，当然我会尽我对他的义务。
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
我们不能勉强我们的爱情，但是我们却可以勉强我们的行动。
I went to the altar with him with the intention to make him just as good a wife as it was in me to be.
我和他一起步向圣坛时是怀着尽我所能来作他的好妻子的意愿的。
But you may imagine what I felt when, just as I came to the altar rails,
但是你们可以想象，我当时的感觉如何，那就是：正当我走到圣坛栏杆前的时候，
I glanced back and saw Frank standing and looking at me out of the first pew.
我回首一瞥，忽然看到弗兰克站在第一排座位那里望着我。
I thought it was his ghost at first;
起初我还以为是他的鬼魂出现，
but when I looked again there he was still, with a kind of question in his eyes,
但是当我再往那儿看时，发现他仍在那里，眼睛里露出几分疑惑的神色，
as if to ask me whether I were glad or sorry to see him. I wonder I didn't drop.
好像在问，我见到了他，是高兴还是难过。我奇怪我怎么没有昏过去。
I know that everything was turning round, and the words of the clergyman were just like the buzz of a bee in my ear.
我只感到天旋地转，牧师的话，就象一只蜜蜂嗡嗡地在我的耳朵里响着。

I didn't know what to do. Should I stop the service and make a scene in the church?
我不知道该怎么办才好。难道我应该打断仪式的进行，在教堂里闹出一场风波来吗？
I glanced at him again, and he seemed to know what I was thinking,
我又瞧了他一眼，他看来好象知道我在想些什么，
for he raised his finger to his lips to tell me to be still.
因为他把手指贴在嘴唇上，示意我不要作声。
Then I saw him scribble on a piece of paper, and I knew that he was writing me a note.
接着我看到他在一张纸上草草地写了几个字，我明白他是在写一张便条给我。
As I passed his pew on the way out I dropped my bouquet over to him,
我在出来的路上经过那排座位时，让花束掉落在他的座位前面，
and he slipped the note into my hand when he returned me the flowers.
当他捡起花束给我时，悄悄把纸条塞在我的手里。
It was only a line asking me to join him when he made the sign to me to do so.
纸条上只有一行字，要我在他向我发出信号时，就跟着他走。
Of course I never doubted for a moment that my first duty was now to him,
当然，我绝无丝毫怀疑我首要的义务是向他尽责，
and I determined to do just whatever he might direct."
并且决心完全按照他的要求去做。"
