这场戏：送花谈诗渐生情愫
第 10 章 · 共 27 章 · 4'02"
威洛比登门，把野花送到玛丽安手上，说 The neighborhood is crawling with my spies（这一带到处都是我的眼线），又解释 nature must be brought to you（该把自然给您送上门）。他发现玛丽安在读莎士比亚，直言自己最爱第 116 首。想学旧式绅士的客套、调情和谈诗，这段很上口。
眼线「到处都是」：crawling with（到处都是、布满）
crawling with 到处都是、布满venture out 出门、冒险外出from the hothouse 温室里养出来的
❝ 独白 · 4 句 玛丽安诵十四行诗
两人接力背诗，一人一句，诗的节奏正好对上两人心思的合拍。
「有违礼数」：err against（有违、冒犯）
in no doubt 毫不怀疑shallow feelings 浅薄的感情
威洛比来巴顿乡舍拜访，正赶上上校和爵士告辞。他带着野花进门，先客气地问 Miss Marianne 有没有 caught cold（着凉），又打趣说 The neighborhood is crawling with my spies（这一带到处都是我的眼线）。他说自己 cannot venture out（没法出门），所以 nature must be brought to you（该把自然送上门），玛丽安接过花说自己一向更爱野花。他发现玛丽安在读莎士比亚十四行诗，便说自己最爱第 116 首。我们的感激 beyond expression（难以言表），他却说该道谢的是自己。临走他留下那本袖珍十四行诗，说 a talisman against（当作护身符）免得她再受伤。他走后埃莉诺提醒玛丽安太外露，玛丽安反问 Why should I hide my regard?（我为什么要藏着自己的心意）。

“The neighborhood is crawling with my spies.”
这一带到处都是我的眼线。
把打听来的消息说成布下眼线，一句俏皮话既显殷勤又掩住了刻意。
X is crawling with ...
夸张地说某处到处都是某人某物时用，朋友间玩笑合适，正式场合会显油。
This place is full of my people. ／ The town is crawling with rumours.
口语
crawling with 连读，spies 收尾带点笑意。
The beach is crawling with tourists in August. 八月里海滩上全是游客。
“nature must be brought to you.”
那就该把自然给您送上门。
顺着上一句「不能出门」一转，把送花说成替自然跑腿，殷勤得不露痕迹。
since X cannot ..., Y must be brought to you.
把送礼、代劳说成顺理成章时用，追求或讨好场合合适，公事里别说。
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 连读，you 轻轻收尾。
Since you cannot travel, the museum must be brought to you. 既然你出不了远门，那就把博物馆送到你眼前。
“Time alone does not determine intimacy.”
光靠时间长短可决定不了亲密。
一句格言替一见钟情撑腰，把相识的长短和相知的深浅分得清清楚楚。
Time alone does not determine ...
为速成的交情、感情辩护时用，议论场合合适，用来敷衍长辈会显顶撞。
Closeness is not measured in years. ／ Long acquaintance does not equal intimacy.
literary
Time alone 稍停，determine 重读，intimacy 放慢。
Time alone does not determine how well you know a place. 待得久不久，并不能决定你了解一个地方有多深。
“If I had more shallow feelings, I could perhaps conceal them as you do.”
要是我的感情浅薄些，也许能像你那样把它藏起来。
把「藏不住」说成「感情太深」，既刺了姐姐又替自己辩解，锋利的少女心气。
If I had ..., I could perhaps ... as you do.
带刺地回敬别人时用，家人拌嘴常见，对同事朋友这样会伤感情。
If I felt less, I could hide it like you. ／ I only show it because I feel too much.
中性
If I had 轻带，shallow feelings 与 conceal 重读。
If I cared less, I could pretend as you do. 要是我没那么在乎，也能像你一样装作没事。
“I should've been dull and spiritless and talked only of the weather.”
我本该沉闷无趣，只谈天气才对。
故意把体面话说到最乏味，一句自嘲把对方那套规矩狠狠取笑了回去。
I should've been ... and talked only of the weather.
自嘲不守成规、反击别人挑刺时用，朋友间可以，对长辈说会显顶嘴。
I suppose I should have made small talk instead. ／ Next time I'll stick to the weather.
口语
should've 读成 should-uv，列举部分加快，weather 收平。
I should've been polite and talked only of the weather. 我本该规规矩矩，只聊天气才对。
"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."
「我绝不承认两颗真心的结合会有任何障碍。 爱算不上爱，若它一遇变化就变…… 见异思迁就转舵…… 或随人移情而移情。」
下一章 · 11set something at naught全然不顾这场戏：邀约野餐与世故规劝指「到处都是、爬满」，本义像虫子爬满一样多。戏里威洛比打趣说这一带到处都是他的眼线，用的就是 crawling with my spies。
说 beyond expression，表示感激或情感多得说不完。戏里说 our gratitude is beyond expression，就是「我们感激不尽」。
指「出门、冒险外出」，带点鼓起勇气走出去的意味。戏里说玛丽安没法 venture out to nature，所以把自然送到她面前。
指「毫无疑问」。戏里威洛比被问最喜欢哪首十四行诗，答 without a doubt, mine is 116，就是「毫无疑问，我最喜欢第 116 首」。
指「防某事的护身符」。戏里威洛比把袖珍十四行诗留给玛丽安，说 a talisman against further injury，当作免得她再受伤的护身物。
