and Darnay happened to see the name on it:
代尔那正巧看见了信封上的名字,

On the morning of his wedding to Lucie he had told Dr Manette,

Oh Monsieur, please help me, I beg you!
啊,先生,请帮帮我吧,求求您了!
人物形象分析:
他希望,贵族阶级的人物都像达尔奈一样,反躬自省、仁慈善良,主动放弃贵族阶级特权,废除不人道的暴政,这样将会缓和已经尖锐的社会矛盾,避免一场浩劫;而不要像厄弗瑞蒙德侯爵兄弟一样,滥用特权、暴虐无道、激化矛盾,导致人民革命的爆发 。
