Middlemarch
Author: George Eliot

Year: 1874

“We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, “Oh, nothing!” Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our hurts— not to hurt others.”

“我们凡人,男人和女人,在早餐和晚餐之间吞下许多失望;忍住眼泪,嘴唇有点苍白,在回答询问时说:”哦,没什么!“骄傲是有帮助的;骄傲并不是坏事,因为它只会促使我们隐藏自己的伤害,而不是伤害别人。”
