"Well, I should have had her engaged to a bank clerk who had been badly knocked about in the war, with only one leg, say, or half his face shot away: and they'd be dreadfully poor and there would be no prospect of their marriage for years, and he would be putting all his savings into buying a little house in the suburbs and they'd have arranged to marry when he had saved the last installment. And then she takes him the three hundred pounds and they can hardly believe it, they're so happy and he cries on her shoulder. He just cries like a child. And they get the little house in the suburbs and they marry, and they have his old mother to live with them, and he goes to the bank every day, and if she's careful not to have babies she can still go out as a daily governess and he's often ill—with his wound, you know—and she nurses him, and it's all very pathetic and sweet and lovely."

“嗯,我会让她与一位银行职员订婚,这位银行职员在战争中受过重伤,比方说,只有一条腿或者半边脸受到枪击:他们十分贫困,数年内,他们的婚期无望,他将用他所有的存款在郊区买一所小房子,他们准备在他存入最后一期付款时结婚。然后当她拿出300英镑时,他们几乎不能相信,他们如此高兴以至于他伏在她的肩上哭了。他哭得像个孩子。然后,他们得到了在郊区的小房子并结了婚,他的老母亲与他们生活在一起,他每天去银行上班。如果她很小心没怀上孩子,她依然可以作为日常家庭女教师去工作,而他经常生病——他有伤,你知道的——她照顾着他,这一切十分悲惨,却也很甜蜜并充满快乐。'”
"It sounds rather dull to me," I ventured.
“对我而言,这听起来十分枯燥,”我试探地说。
"Yes, but moral," said Laura.
“是的,但是这样比较符合道德,”劳拉说。
