Great Expectations 远大前程

Turning to Estella, I tried to control my trembling voice, 'You know I love you, Estella,' I said. 'I have loved you long and dearly.' she shook her head.

'I know , I know I have no hope of ever marrying you, Estella. But I have loved you ever since I first saw you in this house. It was cruel of Miss Havisham to encourage me to hope, but I don't think she meant to be unkind.'

Estella:

What you say, said Estella very calmly 'doesn't touch my heart. I can't feel love as you do. And I've warned you of this. Haven't I?'

Yes, but I couldn't believe it.

It's the way I've been brought up.

I covered my face with my hands, After a moment I lifted my head and cried. 'Don't throw yourself away on an animal like him! Even if you won't marry me, there must be others who love you. Any of them would be a thousand times better than Drummle!

I can't marry a man who expects me to love him. So Drummle will do well enough as my husband. You will soon forget me.

Never, Estella! You are part of myself. You are in every line I've read, in every view I've seen, in every dream I've dreamed. To the last hour of my life, you will remain part of me. God bless you and God forgive you!' I held her hand to my lips for a moment. As I left , Estella's lovely face looked at me in wonder, but Miss Havisham was staring at me with a mixture of pity and guilt.

永远不会，Estella！你是我的一部分。你在我读过的每一行，在我看到的每一个景色，在我做过的每个梦中。在我生命的最后一刻，你将永远是我的一部分。保佑你，上帝原谅你！”我把她的手放在嘴唇上一会儿。当我离开时，埃斯特拉可爱的脸惊奇地看着我，但郝维仙小姐却带着怜悯和内疚的神情盯着我。

Tell me, Biddy, how did my sister die? She had been worse than usual, when one evening she said, very clearly, "Joe". And so I ran to the forge to fetch him. And she put her arms round his neck and laid her head on his shoulder, quite happy. Once she said "Sorry", and once "Pip". She never lifted her head up again, and an hour later she died.

It's no more than the deserve.

这不过是应得的。
