這場戲：送花談詩漸生情愫
第 10 章 · 共 27 章 · 4'02"
威洛比登門，把野花送到瑪麗安手上，說 The neighborhood is crawling with my spies（這一帶到處都是我的眼線），又解釋 nature must be brought to you（該把自然給您送上門）。他發現瑪麗安在讀莎士比亞，直言自己最愛第 116 首。想學舊式紳士的客套、調情和談詩，這段很上口。
眼線「到處都是」：crawling with（到處都是、佈滿）
crawling with 到處都是、佈滿venture out 出門、冒險外出from the hothouse 溫室裡養出來的
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 瑪麗安誦十四行詩
兩人接力背詩，一人一句，詩的節奏正好對上兩人心思的合拍。
「有違禮數」：err against（有違、冒犯）
in no doubt 毫不懷疑shallow feelings 淺薄的感情
威洛比來巴頓鄉舍拜訪，正趕上上校和爵士告辭。他帶著野花進門，先客氣地問 Miss Marianne 有沒有 caught cold（著涼），又打趣說 The neighborhood is crawling with my spies（這一帶到處都是我的眼線）。他說自己 cannot venture out（沒法出門），所以 nature must be brought to you（該把自然送上門），瑪麗安接過花說自己一向更愛野花。他發現瑪麗安在讀莎士比亞十四行詩，便說自己最愛第 116 首。我們的感激 beyond expression（難以言表），他卻說該道謝的是自己。臨走他留下那本袖珍十四行詩，說 a talisman against（當作護身符）免得她再受傷。他走後埃莉諾提醒瑪麗安太外露，瑪麗安反問 Why should I hide my regard?（我為什麼要藏著自己的心意）。

“The neighborhood is crawling with my spies.”
這一帶到處都是我的眼線。
把打聽來的訊息說成佈下眼線，一句俏皮話既顯殷勤又掩住了刻意。
X is crawling with ...
誇張地說某處到處都是某人某物時用，朋友間玩笑合適，正式場合會顯油。
This place is full of my people. ／ The town is crawling with rumours.
口語
crawling with 連讀，spies 收尾帶點笑意。
The beach is crawling with tourists in August. 八月裡海灘上全是遊客。
“nature must be brought to you.”
那就該把自然給您送上門。
順著上一句「不能出門」一轉，把送花說成替自然跑腿，殷勤得不露痕跡。
since X cannot ..., Y must be brought to you.
把送禮、代勞說成順理成章時用，追求或討好場合合適，公事裡別說。
Since you can't go out, nature will come to you. ／ If you can't reach it, it must come to you.
literary
must be brought to you 連讀，you 輕輕收尾。
Since you cannot travel, the museum must be brought to you. 既然你出不了遠門，那就把博物館送到你眼前。
“Time alone does not determine intimacy.”
光靠時間長短可決定不了親密。
一句格言替一見鍾情撐腰，把相識的長短和相知的深淺分得清清楚楚。
Time alone does not determine ...
為速成的交情、感情辯護時用，議論場合合適，用來敷衍長輩會顯頂撞。
Closeness is not measured in years. ／ Long acquaintance does not equal intimacy.
literary
Time alone 稍停，determine 重讀，intimacy 放慢。
Time alone does not determine how well you know a place. 待得久不久，並不能決定你瞭解一個地方有多深。
“If I had more shallow feelings, I could perhaps conceal them as you do.”
要是我的感情淺薄些，也許能像你那樣把它藏起來。
把「藏不住」說成「感情太深」，既刺了姐姐又替自己辯解，鋒利的少女心氣。
If I had ..., I could perhaps ... as you do.
帶刺地回敬別人時用，家人拌嘴常見，對同事朋友這樣會傷感情。
If I felt less, I could hide it like you. ／ I only show it because I feel too much.
中性
If I had 輕帶，shallow feelings 與 conceal 重讀。
If I cared less, I could pretend as you do. 要是我沒那麼在乎，也能像你一樣裝作沒事。
“I should've been dull and spiritless and talked only of the weather.”
我本該沉悶無趣，只談天氣才對。
故意把體面話說到最乏味，一句自嘲把對方那套規矩狠狠取笑了回去。
I should've been ... and talked only of the weather.
自嘲不守成規、反擊別人挑刺時用，朋友間可以，對長輩說會顯頂嘴。
I suppose I should have made small talk instead. ／ Next time I'll stick to the weather.
口語
should've 讀成 should-uv，列舉部分加快，weather 收平。
I should've been polite and talked only of the weather. 我本該規規矩矩，只聊天氣才對。
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love which alters... when it alteration finds... or bends with the remover to remove."
「我絕不承認兩顆真心的結合會有任何障礙。 愛算不上愛，若它一遇變化就變…… 見異思遷就轉舵…… 或隨人移情而移情。」
下一章 · 11set something at naught全然不顧這場戲：邀約野餐與世故規勸指「到處都是、爬滿」，本義像蟲子爬滿一樣多。戲裡威洛比打趣說這一帶到處都是他的眼線，用的就是 crawling with my spies。
說 beyond expression，表示感激或情感多得說不完。戲裡說 our gratitude is beyond expression，就是「我們感激不盡」。
指「出門、冒險外出」，帶點鼓起勇氣走出去的意味。戲裡說瑪麗安沒法 venture out to nature，所以把自然送到她面前。
指「毫無疑問」。戲裡威洛比被問最喜歡哪首十四行詩，答 without a doubt, mine is 116，就是「毫無疑問，我最喜歡第 116 首」。
指「防某事的護身符」。戲裡威洛比把袖珍十四行詩留給瑪麗安，說 a talisman against further injury，當作免得她再受傷的護身物。
