《简爱》的爱情宣言

很喜欢《简爱》里Jane对Mr. Rochester的爱情宣言：

Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,--as we are!

你以为，因为我贫穷、无名、平淡、和微小，就无灵无心吗？你想错了！----我有同你一样的灵，----也有充实的心！如果上帝赐予我一些美貌和财富，我会让你难以离开我，就像我现在难以离开你一样。我现在不是通过风俗、习惯、或者凡人的肉体与你说话；----是我的灵魂在与你的灵魂说话；就像两者穿过坟墓，站在上帝脚前，平等，----正如我们现在！
