The upstart pretensions of a young woman without family , connections , or fortune . is this to be endured ! but it must not , shall not be 你这样一个小妮子，无论家世亲戚财产，都谈不上，难道光凭着你的痴心妄想，就可以把他们拆散吗？
Our short - lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves , is an indissoluble and lasting union - a honeymoon that knows neither coldness , jar , nor separation 我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万事长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的密月。
Doing nothing , expecting nothing ; merging night in day ; feeling but the sensation of cold when i let the fire go out , of hunger when i forgot to eat : and then a ceaseless sorrow , and , at times , a very delirium of desire to behold my jane again 什么也不干，什么也不盼，白天和黑夜不分。炉火熄了便感到冷忘记吃饭便觉得饿。随后是无穷无尽的哀伤，有时就痴心妄想，希望再见见我的简。
But as this is ordinarily the fate of young heads , so reflection upon the folly of it , is as ordinarily the exercise of more years , or of the dear bought experience of time ; and so it was with me now ; and yet so deep had the mistake taken root in my temper , that i could not satisfy my self in my station , but was continually poring upon the means , and possibility of my escape from this place ; and that i may with the greater pleasure to the reader , bring on the remaining part of my story , it may not be improper , to give some account of my first conceptions on the subject of this foolish scheme , for my escape ; and how , and upon what foundation i acted 就拿我自己来说吧，正是由于我不满自己原来的境况，又不听父亲的忠告-我认为，我有悖教训，实为我的"原罪" ，再加上我后来又犯了同样的错误，才使自己落到今天这样悲惨的地步。当时，造物主已安排我在巴西做了种植园主。如果我自己不痴心妄想发财，而是满足于逐渐致富，这时候我也许已成了巴西数一数二的种植园主了，而现在我却白白地在这荒岛上流落了这么多年，过着悲惨孤寂的生活。
