这场戏：姐妹为秘密婚约吵翻
第 23 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'30"
詹宁斯太太带来爆炸性消息：爱德华早就和露西订婚五年，被 cut off without a penny（断了财路）。埃莉诺承认自己早从伦敦就知道，只因答应了露西 in strictest confidence（极其保密）才没说。玛丽安气得追问 Elinor, where is your heart?（你的心到哪里去了？），姐妹俩终于吵开。想学「保密」与质问，这段最见性格。

詹宁斯太太带来消息：爱德华和露西订婚五年，费拉斯太太要他 break the engagement（解除婚约），否则剥夺继承权；他为守承诺，被 cut off without a penny（断了财路），财产全留给罗伯特。埃莉诺坦白自己从伦敦那晚起就知道，是露西 in strictest confidence（极其保密）说的，她不能 break my word（食言）。玛丽安却追问：Edward loves you，为何不争取？她一句 Elinor, where is your heart?（你的心到哪里去了？）逼得姐姐终于发作。埃莉诺反问：What do you know of anything but your own suffering?（除了你自己的痛苦你还懂什么），说自己一直忍着露西的炫耀，心碎的证据足够让妹妹信服。想学守信、保密和爆发的说法，这段最锋利。

“How long have you known?”
你知道多久了？
五个词连着两记追问，把被瞒着的怒意钉在对方脸上。
How long have you known?
发现被瞒着、要追问对方隐瞒多久时用；对长辈用会显得咄咄逼人。
How long have you kept this from me? ／ When did you find out?
口语
How long 上扬，have you known 连读后重音落 known。
How long have you known about the move? 搬家的事你知道多久了？
“- I could not break my word. - But Edward loves you.”
——我不能食言。——可爱德华爱的是你。
一句讲责任，一句讲感情，两个人各说各的理，谁也没退。
I could not break my word.
强调自己必须守信时用；拿它当借口推责任会让人觉得冷。
I cannot go back on my word. ／ I gave my word and I will keep it.
正式
could not 弱读，my word 重读收尾。
I gave her my word, and I could not break my word. 我答应过她，就不能食言。
“Would you have him treat her even worse than Willoughby has treated you?”
难道你希望他待她比威洛比待你还要不如？
用威洛比的薄情作尺子，一句反问把玛丽的怨气堵回去。
Would you have him do ...?
用反问驳对方双标时用；语速慢一点，别听成真心建议。
Would you really want him to treat her worse? ／ You would not wish that on her, surely.
正式
Would you have him 连读，even worse 重读对比。
Would you have him lie to her just to please us? 难道你希望他为了让我们高兴就去骗她？
“Elinor, where is your heart?”
埃莉诺，你的心到哪里去了？
把冷静当成无情的罪状，一句质问直指姐姐的隐忍。
Where is your heart?
指责对方冷漠、太讲道理时用；说出口很伤人，慎用。
Do you feel nothing at all? ／ Have you no heart in this?
literary
Elinor 轻呼，where is your heart 放缓，尾音下沉。
You heard the news and said nothing; where is your heart? 你听了消息一声不吭，你的心到哪里去了？
“What do you know of anything but your own suffering?”
除了你自己的痛苦，你还懂得什么？
把对方的委屈一并否定，是这场争吵里最狠的一刀。
What do you know of anything but ...?
极重地斥对方只顾自己时用；这话出口就难收回。
You see nothing but your own pain. ／ Can you think of anyone but yourself?
literary
anything but 连读，your own suffering 逐词加重。
What do you know of anything but your own plans? 除了你自己的打算，你还知道什么？
“I could have produced proof enough of a broken heart even for you.”
我拿出的心碎证据，足够连你都信服。
把最深的痛说成证据，冷静里爆出全章最响的一声。
I could have produced proof enough of ...
忍到极限、要证明自己并非无动于衷时用；争吵里用会两败俱伤。
I could have shown you proof of my broken heart. ／ I have evidence enough of what this cost me.
literary
could have 缩读，proof enough 重读，句尾放平收。
I could have produced proof enough of my effort even for you. 我付出的证据，足够连你都信服。
For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me... without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims... ruined all my hope. I have endured her exaltation again and again... whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence... I could have produced proof enough of a broken heart even for you.
玛丽安，这几个星期来，这事一直压在我心头…… 我却不能对任何人说一个字。 把这事硬塞给我的人，正是那个凭先来的名分…… 毁掉我全部希望的人。 她一次次得意炫耀，我都忍了下来…… 一边清楚自己与爱德华已永远无缘。 相信我，玛丽安，要不是我被逼着闭口不言…… 我拿出的心碎证据，足够连你都信服。
下一章 · 24only too delighted非常乐意这场戏：上校赠教区成全婚事指「极其保密地」，表示说出来的话不能外传。戏里埃莉诺说露西 in strictest confidence 告诉她，所以自己不能讲。
说 break one's word，也可以说 break my word。戏里埃莉诺说 I could not break my word，就是「我不能食言」。
指「被断了财路、一分不给」。戏里爱德华坚持不解除婚约，结果被 cut off without a penny。
指「违者以……论处」，用来威胁。戏里说母亲要他解除婚约 on pain of 剥夺继承权，就是「不从就没收财产」。
指「逆来顺受、听天由命」，不是辞职。戏里玛丽安抱怨姐姐总是 resignation and acceptance，就是「总是认命」。
