玛丽安各方面的才干都堪与埃丽诺相媲美。她聪慧善感,只是做什么事情都心急火燎的。她伤心也罢,高兴也罢,都没有个节制。她为人慷慨,和蔼可亲,也很有趣,可就是一点也不谨慎,与她母亲一模一样。
Elinor saw, with concern, the excess of her sister'ssensibility; but by Mrs. Dashwood it was valued and cherished. They encouraged each other now in the violence of theiraffliction. The agony of grief whichoverpoweredthem at first, was voluntarily renewed, was sought for, was created again and again. They gave themselve up wholly to their sorrow, seeking increase ofwretchednessin every reflection that could afford it, and resolved against ever admittingconsolationin future. Elinor, too, was deeply afflicted; but still she could struggle, she could exert herself. She could consult with her brother, could receive her sister-in-law on her arrival, and treat her with proper attention; and could strive to rouse her mother to similar exertion, and encourage her to similarforbearance.
埃丽诺见妹妹过于感情用事,不免有些担心,可达什伍德太太却觉得这很难能可贵。现在,她们两人极度悲痛的情绪,互相感染,互相助长。最初的那种悲痛欲绝的情状,一触即发,说来就来,反反复复地没完没了。她们完全沉湎于悲恸之中,真是哪里伤心往哪里想,越想越痛不欲生,认定这辈子就这么了结啦,谁来解劝也无济于事。埃丽诺也很悲痛,不过她尚能顶得住,尽量克制自己。她遇事能同哥哥商量着办,嫂子来了能以礼相待。她还能劝说母亲也这样做,请她多加忍让。
