【11 Emma 愛瑪】
------------------------------------------
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessing of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.
愛瑪·伍德豪斯端莊儒雅、聰慧過人、家境富裕，加上家庭溫暖、性格開朗，仿佛人生的幾大福分讓她占全了。在她將近二十一年的花樣年華中，極少出現苦惱煩心的事情。
She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and had, in consequence of her sister’s marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection.
愛瑪有個極其慈愛的父親。他對兩個女兒十分嬌慣寵溺，而愛瑪又是他的小女兒。姐姐出嫁後，愛瑪小小年紀就擔當了家庭女主人的角色。母親去世得太早，她的愛撫，愛瑪隻模模糊糊記得一點兒。一位傑出的家庭女教師填補了母親的空缺，她對愛瑪的慈愛之心不亞於一個母親。
Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse’s family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the shadow of
泰勒小姐在伍德豪斯先生家生活了十六年，她不僅僅是孩子們的家庭教師，更是她們的朋友。她非常疼愛兩個姑娘，特別是愛瑪。她倆之間情同姐妹。泰勒小姐性情溫和，甚至在她名義上還擔任家庭教師時，也很少去管束愛瑪。後來師生關係徹底消失了，兩人就像知心閨蜜一樣生活在一起，愛瑪更是愛做什麼就做什麼。她十分尊重泰勒小姐的意見，但她主
authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor’s judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.
要按自己的心意行事。
The real evils, indeed, of Emma’s situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.
要說愛瑪的境況真有什麼危害的話，那就是她太隨心所欲了，還有點自視過高，這些可能會減少許多樂趣，是不利因素。不過，目前這種危險尚未顯現，對她來說還算不上什麼不幸。
