意外的遗产

字幕原文

One day, St. John came to Jane with an astonishing story. 一天，圣约翰带着一个令人震惊的故事来找简。

He had learned her true name, and with it, two amazing facts. 他得知了她的真实姓名，并因此发现了两个惊人的事实。

First, an uncle Jane had never met had died far away. 首先，简从未谋面的一位叔叔在远方去世了。

He had left her his whole fortune—twenty thousand pounds. 他把全部财产——两万英镑——都留给了她。

Jane, who had always been poor, was suddenly rich. 简一直都很贫穷，却突然变得富有起来。

Second, and even more wonderful, 其次，更令人惊奇的是，

this uncle was also the uncle of St. John, 这位叔叔也是圣约翰的叔叔，

Diana, and Mary. 也是戴安娜和玛丽的叔叔。

The Rivers were her cousins! 里弗斯一家是她的表兄妹！

The kind family who had saved her life was her own blood. 那个救了她性命的善良家庭竟然是她的亲骨肉。

Jane was overjoyed. 简欣喜若狂。

She cared far more about the cousins than about the money. 她对表兄妹的关心远胜于金钱。

"We are family," she said. “我们是一家人，”她说。

"That is worth more than any fortune." “那比任何财富都更有价值。”

So she made a decision that surprised them all. 于是她做了一个让所有人大吃一惊的决定。

She divided the money into four equal parts, one for each of them. 她把钱分成了四等份，他们每人一份。

"Now we are truly equal," Jane said, smiling. “现在我们真正平等了，”简笑着说。

"And I have what I always wanted—a real family." “我得到了我一直想要的东西——一个真正的家庭。”

Wealth means little to a lonely heart; belonging means everything. 财富对一颗孤独的心来说微不足道；归属感才是一切。

For the first time in her life, Jane had money, family, and a home. 简生平第一次拥有了金钱、家人和家。

But St. John had plans of his own. 然而圣约翰有他自己的计划。
