《简爱》是英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特创作的一部经典小说,讲述了女主角简·爱从孤儿到女教师,再到与爱情相遇的故事。以下是一些《简爱》中的好词好句:
1. "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."(我不是鸟儿,任何网都捉不住我。我是一个有独立意志的自由人。)
2. "Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? 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!"(你以为我是个自动机吗?一台没有感情的机器?你以为我贫穷、低微、不美、渺小,我就没有灵魂和心吗?你想错了!我和你一样有灵魂——也同样有一颗心!)
3. "I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give."(我可以独自生活,如果自尊和环境要求我这样做。我不必出卖灵魂去换取幸福。我内心有一份与生俱来的宝藏,即使所有外在的愉悦被剥夺,或者只有我无法承受的代价才能获得,它也能让我活下去。)
4. "I would always rather be happy than dignified."(我宁愿要幸福,而不愿要尊严。)
5. "The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it."(我对这个世界看得越多,就越对它不满意。)
