德莱塞《珍妮姑娘》:
He could not see how wealth and position in this hour were typified to her mind as a great fence, a wall, which divided her eternally from her beloved. Had it not always been so? Was not her life a patchwork of conditions made and affected by these things which she saw — wealth and force — which had found her unfit?
他哪会知道,珍妮心里却把有钱有势这两件东西看成一道大栅栏,一堵墙,使她和她心爱的人儿永远分开了。这不是历来就是如此吗?她的一生困坷的遭际,还不就是受到她看见的——财富和权势——这些东西摆布,捉弄,并且始终对她看不上眼吗?
