Mr. Rochester begged Jane to stay. 罗切斯特先生恳求简留下来。

"Bertha is not a true wife," he said. “伯莎不是真正的妻子,”他说。

"We could go away together, far from here. “我们可以一起离开,远远地离开这里。

No one would ever know. 没有人会知道。

Please, Jane, do not leave me." 求你了,简,不要离开我。”

Jane's heart was breaking. 简心如刀绞。

She still loved him deeply. 她依然深爱着他。

Part of her wanted to say yes. 她心里有一部分想答应。

But she knew it would be wrong. 但她知道那样是错的。

If she stayed, she would not be his wife—only his secret. 如果她留下,她就不会是他的妻子——而只是他的秘密。

She would lose her own self-respect. 她会失去自己的自尊。

"I must go," she said, her voice trembling. “我必须走,”她说,声音颤抖着。

"I care about you more than my own life. “我爱你胜过爱我自己的生命。

But I care about my dignity even more. 但我更在乎我的尊严。

I cannot live as less than I am." 我不能活得不像我自己。”

"Where will you go?" “你要去哪里?”

he cried. 他喊道。

"You have no money, no family, no home!" “你没有钱,没有家人,没有家!”

"I will keep my honor," Jane answered. “我会保住我的尊严,”简回答道。

"That is enough." “那便足够了。”

The one thing no person can take from us is the right to respect ourselves. 没有人能从我们身上夺走的,是自尊的权利。

That night, while the house slept, Jane crept away. 那天晚上,当屋子里的人都睡着时,简悄悄地离开了。

She took almost nothing. 她几乎什么都没带。

She walked out into the cold dark, alone once more. 她独自一人再次走进寒冷的黑暗中。

She had left her love and her home behind. 她把她的爱和家都留在了身后。

Now she had nothing but the road ahead. 现在她除了前方的路,一无所有。
