  今天和大家分享几段我最读书时最喜欢的《简爱》经典句段，华丽而严谨的英语古典语法用词，让人羡慕！抛开语言本身，这些句子本身也许今天看了没有什么特别，但是在早期19世纪那个时代却是代表着女性对社会的独立宣言。

You think that because I am poor and plain, Ihave no feelings?

你以为我一贫如洗， 长相平庸就没有感情吗？

I promise you, if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.

告诉你吧，如果是上帝赐予我财富和美貌，我会让你难以离开我，就像现在我难以离开你一样。

I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, convenionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the gave, and we stood at God's feet, equal——as we are!

今天我以平等的灵魂站在你面前，抛除陈规旧俗、抛除身份尊卑，我的灵魂仍然能同你的灵魂对话，仿佛我们穿越生死，站在上帝脚下，彼此平等。

Iam a free human being with an independent will,whichInow exert to leave you.

我是一个有独立意志的自由人，现在我自愿离开你。
