" Do you know Mr. Robert Ferrars? " asked Elinor.

'But how can it be done? ' said she; 'my dear Ferrars, do tell me how it is to be managed.

Mr. Ferrars is to be the man.

Why Mr. Ferrars was to have been written to about it in such a hurry, she could not immediately comprehend.

为什么这么匆忙就把这件事写信给费拉斯先生，她不能立即理解。

His want of spirits, of openness, and of consistency, were most usually attributed to his want of independence, and his better knowledge of Mrs. Ferrars's disposition and designs.

他缺乏精神、开放和一致性，通常被归因于他缺乏独立性，以及他对费拉斯夫人的性格和计划缺乏更好的了解。

Elinor did think the question a very odd one, and her countenance expressed it, as she answered that she had never seen Mrs. Ferrars.

埃莉诺确实觉得这个问题很奇怪，当她回答说她从未见过费拉斯夫人时， 她的表情也表达了这种感觉。

We all wish her extremely happy; and Mrs. Ferrars's conduct throughout the whole, has been such as every conscientious, good mother, in like circumstances, would adopt.

Mrs. Ferrars was the most unfortunate of women—poor Fanny had suffered agonies of sensibility—and he considered the existence of each, under such a blow, with grateful wonder.

费拉斯太太是女人中最不幸的——可怜的范妮曾遭受过感情的痛苦——他想到每一个人的存在，在这样的打击下， 都心怀感激的惊奇。

Mrs. Ferrars too—in short it has been a scene of such complicated distress—but I will hope that the storm may be weathered without our being any of us quite overcome.

费拉斯夫人也是如此——总之，这是一个充满复杂痛苦的场景——但我希望这场风暴能够被安全带住，我们中没有人能够完全被击垮。

She would have been glad to know when these difficulties were to cease, this opposition was to yield, —when Mrs. Ferrars would be reformed, and her son be at liberty to be happy.

她会很高兴知道什么时候这些困难会停止，什么时候反对会屈服， 什么时候费拉斯夫人会改过自新，她的儿子会自由地过上幸福的生活。

All that Mrs. Ferrars could say to make him put an end to the engagement, assisted too as you may well suppose by my arguments, and Fanny's entreaties, was of no avail.

费拉斯太太所能说的一切话，使他结束了这个婚约，正如你很可能猜想的那样，从我的论点和范妮的恳求中，也起到了帮助作用，但都是无济于事的。

What Mrs. Ferrars would say and do, though there could not be a doubt of its nature, she was anxious to hear; and still more anxious to know how Edward would conduct himself.

尽管毫无疑问费拉斯太太会说什么、做什么，但她还是急切地想听；更急切地想知道爱德华会如何表现。

One day's delay will not be very material; and till I have written to Mr. Ferrars, I think it ought not to be mentioned to any body else.

一天的延迟不会有太大影响；而且， 在我写信给费拉斯先生之前， 我想不应该向任何人提起这件事。

Every thing was explained to him by Mrs. Dashwood, and he found fresh reason to rejoice in what he had done for Mr. Ferrars, since eventually it promoted the interest of Elinor.

达什伍德夫人向他解释了一切，他为自己为费拉斯先生所做的一切感到高兴，因为这最终促进了埃莉诺的兴趣。

" Lord bless you, my dear! —Sure you do not mean to persuade me that the Colonel only marries you for the sake of giving ten guineas to Mr. Ferrars! "

“上帝保佑你， 亲爱的！——当然，你不是要说服我， 上校嫁给你只是为了给费拉斯先生十坚尼！

And though one would be very glad to do a kindness by poor Mr. Ferrars, I do think it is not worth while to wait two or three months for him.

—尽管人们非常乐意为可怜的费拉斯先生做点好事，但我认为不值得等他两三个月。
