"Fernand," answered Mercedes, shaking her head," a woman becomes a bad manager, and who shall say she will remain an honest woman, when she loves another man better than her husband? Rest content with my friendship, for I say once more that is all I can promise, and I will promise no more than I can bestow."
“费尔南德，”梅赛德斯摇头回答道，“当一个女人比爱丈夫更爱另一个人时，她将会变成一个糟糕的管家，谁还会说她仍将是一个忠诚的女人呢？满足于我的友谊就终止吧，因为我再次说一遍，这就是我能承诺的所有，而且我将承诺的不会超过我能给予的。”
"I understand," replied Fernand," you can endure your own wretchedness patiently, but you are afraid to share mine. Well, Mercedes, beloved by you, I would tempt fortune, you would bring me good luck, and I should become rich. I could extend my occupation as a fisherman, might get a place as clerk in a warehouse, and become in time a dealer myself."
“我理解，”费尔南德回答道，“你能耐心地忍受你自己的不幸，但是你害怕分享我的不行。很好，梅赛德斯，由于你的深爱，我将追求财富，你将给我带来好运，而且我会变得富有。我能够作为渔夫发展一个新的职业，可能会在一个仓库当一个职员，不久我自己就会变成一个经销商。”
