Lefroy: Miss, Miss, Miss ohm…

Jane: Austen!

Lefroy: Mr.Lefroy.

Jane: Yes, I know. But I am alone.

Lefroy: Except for me.

Jane: Exactly.

Lefroy: Oh, come! What rules of conduct apply in this situation? We have been introduced, have we not?

Jane: What value is there in an introduction when you cannot even remember my name? Indeed, can barely stay awake in my presence.

Lefroy: Madam.

Jane: These scruples['skru:pl]顾虑 must seem very provincial   [prəˈvɪnʃl]粗野的 to a gentleman with such elevated[ˈelɪveɪtɪd]高层的 airs, but I do not devise[dɪ'vaɪz]设计 theserules. I am merely obliged[əˈblaɪdʒd]有义务 to obey them.

Lefroy: I have been told there is much to see upon a walk[wɔ:k], but all I’ve detected so far is a general tendency to green above and brown below.

Jane: Yes, well. Others have detected more.It’s celebrated[ˈselɪbreɪtɪd]著名的. There’s even a book about this wood.

Lefroy: Oh~ A novel perhaps?

Jane: Novels?  Being poor insipid[ɪnˈsɪpɪd]枯燥的 things, read by mere women,even god forbid, written by mere women?

Lefroy: I see. We’re talking of yourreading.

Jane: As if the writing of women did not display the greatest powers of mind knowledge of human nature, the liveliest effusions[ɪˈfju:ʒn]喷涌 of wit and humor and the best-chosen language imaginable?

Lefroy: was I deficient[dɪˈfɪʃnt]不足 in rapture['ræptʃə(r)]极度欢喜?

Jane: In consciousness['kɒnʃəsnəs]意识，觉悟.

Lefroy: It was accomplished[əˈkʌmplɪʃt]完成，熟练.

Jane: It was ironic[aɪˈrɒnɪk]嘲讽.
