Chapter 6: Test of Love
第6章：爱的考验
My relationship with Dora progressed quickly, despite the concerns of my friends. She was everything I found attractive in a girl—beautiful, playful, and affectionate. However, she was completely uninterested in anything practical, such as housekeeping or planning for the future.
我和多拉的关系进展很快，尽管朋友们对此有所担忧。她是我认为一个女孩所拥有的一切吸引人的特质——美丽、活泼和深情。然而，她完全不感兴趣于任何实际的事情，比如家务或为未来做计划。
Mr. Spenlow, Dora's father, strongly disapproved of our relationship. He wanted his daughter to marry someone wealthy and established, not a struggling young writer like me. This opposition made our meetings difficult. Looking back, I realize now that I should have paid more attention to Agnes's advice.
多拉的父亲斯彭洛先生强烈反对我们的关系。他希望女儿嫁给富有且有地位的人，而不是像我这样苦苦挣扎的年轻作家。这段反对让我们的会面变得困难。回顾过去，我现在意识到我本应该更注意阿格妮丝的建议。
