Polishing Literature Language
——刘重德译
所以, 如果马丁先生结婚的时你还住在这儿, 可 千万别碍着她两个妹妹的情面去搭理他的太太。 说不定他会娶一个十足的乡下人的女儿, 没有一 点儿教养。
——张经浩译
Polishing Literature Language
Elizabeth listened in silence, but was not convinced; their behaviour at the assembly has not been calculated to please in general; and with more quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister, and with a judgment too wassailed by any attention to herself, she was very little disposed to approve them.
在这个穿着漂亮衣服人的注意中有一些令 人满意的东西。 这个衣冠楚楚的人所献的殷勤, 使她感到 有点满意。 裘柱常《嘉莉妹妹》
Polishing Literature Language
There was something satisfactory in the attention of this individual with his good clothes.
—— 孙致礼译《傲慢与偏见》
Translation of Literature Language
I was up the next morning before the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it; peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of gray mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped and crept to the hollow places, then stole away in line and column, holding skirts and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.
Richard D. Blackmore: An October Sunrise

还有不因为别人关注自己而减弱的判断力，……

伊丽莎白默默地听着，但没有被说服。 她们在舞会里的行为原本不是计划去讨 好一般人的。她比姐姐有着更敏锐的观 察力但不那么柔顺的脾气，还有不因为 别人关注自己而减弱的判断力，因而， 不太赞成他们。

… and, therefore, I say that if you should still be in this country when Mr. Martin marries, I wishes you may not be drawn in, by your intimacy with the sisters, to be acquainted with the wife, who will probably be some mere farmer’s daughter, without education. ——Jane Austen: Emma

伊丽莎白默默地听着，但不以为然：她认为他们 在舞会里的一般行为并非打算讨人喜欢的。因为 观察力比她姐姐敏锐，神气也没有她姐姐那么柔 顺, 而且她又有不为自己利害所侵袭的批评力， 所以她是不大赞许他们的。 —— 李素译《骄傲与偏见》

——Jane Austen: Emma
所以我说等马丁先生结婚的时候, 你若是还在这 个地方的话, 我愿你不要因同她姐妹的亲近关系 而结识他的太太 , 她可能只是一个农民的女儿 , 没有受过教育
