英剧《Emma》中一段很火的对白，

说的好有道理！



That you are not yet married, you are so charming.

你为何不结婚呢 你如此天生丽质

I assure you, I have very little intention of marrying at all.

告诉你吧 我连结婚的想法都没有

It is so very odd to hear a woman talk like that.

女人有这种想法真是太奇怪了。

I have fortune. I am occupied.

我衣食无忧，生活充实。

And without love,

既然情愫未到，

Why would I want to change my situation?

我又何必改变现状的状态呢

But, ah, do not worry, Harriet,

但是，不用担心，哈丽特

For I shall be a rich old maid.

因为我会成为一位富有的老姑娘

And it is only poor old maids who invite the world.

只有穷困潦倒的老姑娘才会成为大家的笑柄。
