Audiobook Dictation: “She had married a vulgar man…”

She had married a vulgar man; and, though she had not become like the man, she had become vulgar.

她嫁了一个粗俗的男人；虽然她没有变得像那人一样，却也变得粗俗了。

She was not an eligible companion for Mr. Wharton's daughter,--a matter as to which the father had not given himself proper opportunities of learning the facts.

她并不适合做沃顿先生女儿的伴侣——对于这件事，父亲从未好好去了解实情。

An aunt in his close neighbourhood was so great a comfort to him,--so ready and so natural an assistance to him in his difficulties!

近邻有一位姨母，对他是莫大的安慰——在他为难时，是多么现成、多么自然的帮手啊！

But Emily Wharton was not in the least like her aunt, nor had Mrs. Wharton been at all like Mrs. Roby.

但艾米莉·沃顿一点也不像她的姨母，沃顿太太当年也和罗比太太毫无相似之处。

No doubt the contact was dangerous.

毫无疑问，这种接触是危险的。

Injury had perhaps already been done.

也许伤害已经造成了。

It may be that some slightest soil had already marred the pure white of the girl's natural character.

也许某种极细微的污渍，已经玷污了这姑娘天性中纯洁的洁白。

But if so, the stain was as yet too impalpable to be visible to ordinary eyes.

但即便如此，那污点也还太难以察觉，寻常的眼睛是看不出来的。

Emily Wharton was a tall, fair girl, with grey eyes, rather exceeding the average proportions as well as height of women.

艾米莉·沃顿是个高挑白皙的姑娘，灰色的眼睛，身材和个头都略超过一般女子。
