No，I've arranged to rent Mr Boldwood's farm，and I could have been your farm manager as well，if—well—if people hadn't said things about us. ’
我已经打算好租下伯德伍德先生的农场，而且，要不是人们说咱俩的那些话，我还可以给你经管农场。”
‘What？’said Bathsheba，surprised. ‘What things？’
“什么？”芭丝谢芭诧异地问道。“说咱俩什么？”
‘Well，if you must know，that I'm just waiting and hoping for the chance to marry you some day. ’
“呃，如果你真要知道，我告诉你。他们说我在等待并盼望有一天找机会娶你。”
‘Marry me！That's too foolish—too soon—to think of！’
“娶我！这太愚蠢——太快了——没法想象！”
‘Yes，of course，it's foolish. I certainly agree. ’
“当然了，是太愚蠢，我同意。”
‘“Too soon”were the words I used. ’
“我是说‘太快了’。”
‘I'm sorry，but I think you said“too foolish”. ’
“对不起，我还以为你说的是‘太愚蠢’呢。”
‘I'm sorry too，’she replied with tears in her eyes. ‘“Too soon”was what I said.
“我也对不起你，”她两眼含着泪回答道。“我说的是‘太快了’，
But it doesn't matter a bit，not at all—but I only meant“too soon”. Indeed，you must believe me！’
不过这没关系，一点关系都没有——我的意思只是说‘太快了’。真的，你得相信我！”
Gabriel looked into her face for a long time. ‘Bathsheba，’he said，coming closer，
盖伯瑞尔长时间地望着她的脸。“芭丝谢芭，”他说着走近了她，
‘If I only knew one thing—whether you'd allow me to love you，and marry you after all—if I only knew！’
“我真想知道一件事——你让不让我爱你，让不让我娶你——我真想知道！”
‘But you never will know，’she whispered.
“可你绝不会知道的，”她悄声地说。
‘Why not？’
“为什么不会？”
‘Because you never ask. ’
“因为你从来不问。”
‘Oh！’said Gabriel delightedly. ‘My darling—’
“啊！”盖伯瑞尔喜悦地说，“亲爱的——”
