《傲慢与偏见》
How quick come the reasons for approving what we like!
想给我们的喜好找个理由时，脑袋转的是最快的。
Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.
生活就是一连串的无事忙。
What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.
越该做的事，就越急不得。
I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.
在实际生活中我是个自私的人，但在原则上不是。
There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.
心灵的柔软是最大的魅力。
《简爱》
Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automation? A machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup?
Do you think because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am souless and heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul as you--and full as much heart! And if god had gifted me with some beauty and wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to live me, as it is now for me to live you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh--it is my spirit that address your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave and we stood at God's feet--equal--as we are!
你以为我会无足轻重的留在这里吗？你以为我是一架没有感情的机器人吗？你以为我贫穷、低微、不美、缈小，我就没有灵魂，没有心吗？你想错了，我和你有一样多的灵魂，一样充实的心。如果上帝赐予我一点美，许多钱，我就要你难以离开我，就象我现在难以离开你一样。我现在不是以社会生活和习俗的准则和你说话，而是我的心灵同你的心灵讲话。仿佛我们已经穿越了坟墓穿越了生死来到上帝的脚下——平等——我们生来如此！
人物动作描写片段摘抄 1、我向前冲了几步，有力地一跳，那矫健而倒立的身影在空中迅速旋转着，又迅速落入了水中。 2、分好了队，我自然是两支队伍中最高的人，而且，我在投篮命中方面也是一个响当当的人物，和我一队的“同胞们”，自然都欢天喜地，喜不自胜。 3、我把鱼骨头一根一根地用牙齿咬，用手拨，总算啃掉了半个鱼头，一点鱼肉都没吃到。 4、我把游泳圈一甩，“扑通”一声跳进了奔腾的湘江，像小泥鳅似的游了起来。 5、我把拖把在水池里涮了又涮，再拧干，然后弯下腰，前腿弓起，后退绷着，“哼哧哼哧”拖起地来。
（1）《呼啸山庄·中英对照》——Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge maindoor. It could have been any Yorkshire farmhouse kitchen, except that there wasno sign of cooking, and no farmer sitting at the table. Mr. Heathcliffcertainly does not look like a farmer. His hair and skin are dark, like agipsy's, but has the manners of a gentleman. He could perhaps take more carewith his appearance, but he is a handsome. I think he is proud, and alsounhappy. 希斯克利夫先生和我进到极大的正房。它很像是约克郡一个普通农家的厨房，只是没有做饭的迹象，桌旁也没坐着农夫。希斯克利夫先生看上去显然不像个农夫，他的头发和皮肤是深色的，像吉卜赛人，但有绅士的派头。他还能对自己的外表再多上点儿心，但已经算得上英俊了。我觉得他很高傲，而且郁郁寡欢。

（3）《德伯家的苔丝》——On an evening in the latter part of May amiddle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, inthe adjoining Vale of Blakemore or Blackmoor. The pair of legs that carried himwere rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat tothe left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if inconfirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything inparticular. An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat wasruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came intaking it off. Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a graymare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune. 五月下旬的一个傍晚，一位中年男子正从沙斯顿赶回自己的家乡—马洛特。该村庄坐落在与沙斯顿毗邻的布雷克摩(或布莱克摩)山谷里。这位中年人拖着两条蹒跚的腿，步态倾斜，整个身子总是向左边歪着。他偶尔也把头轻巧地一点，仿佛是对什么事情表示赞同，其实他什么都没想。他胳膊上挎着一只盛鸡蛋的空篮子，帽子的绒面皱皱巴巴的，摘帽子时大拇指接触的那个地方已经磨损了一大块。不一会儿，一个骑着灰色母马、随口哼着小调的老牧师迎面而来。
