左拉《家常事》:
Not a fellow who loves you for yourselves and who would bring you a fortune without haggling!
没有一个男子会为了你们而爱你们,会给你们一笔财产,又不讨价还价的。
原文:
Not a fellow who loves you for yourselves and who would bring you a fortune without haggling! Millionaire uncles who, after having been fed for twenty years, will not even give their nieces a dowry! Husbands who are quite incompetent, oh! yes, sir, incompetent!
没有一个男子会为了你们而爱你们,会给你们一笔财产,又不讨价还价的。百万富翁的舅父,叫人家供养他二十年以后,只求他给他外甥女一笔嫁妆费都不肯!丈夫呢,又无能,啊!是的,先生,是无能!”
