Chapter 2: Life at Tostes
第2章:托斯特的生活
After their wedding, Charles and Emma settled into a quiet life in Tostes. Charles was content with his daily routine of visiting patients and coming home to his wife. He believed that Emma was happy, and he loved her deeply.
结婚后,查尔斯和艾玛在托斯特开始了安静的生活。查尔斯对他的日常惯例感到满意,每天去看病人然后回家陪妻子。他相信艾玛是幸福的,他深爱着她。
However, Emma quickly became bored with their simple life. She found Charles dull and uninteresting, and the village offered none of the excitement and romance she had imagined. She spent her days looking out the window or reading her old romantic novels.
然而,艾玛很快对他们简单的生活感到厌倦。她觉得查尔斯无聊乏味,村庄也没有她想象的兴奋和浪漫。她整天望着窗外或读她旧时的浪漫小说。
Emma began to feel that her life was passing by without meaning or joy. She had married a good man, but she did not love him. The romantic dreams she had cherished since her convent school days seemed impossible in her present circumstances.
艾玛开始觉得她的生活毫无意义或快乐地流逝。她嫁给了一个好男人,但她不爱他。她从修道院学校时代就一直珍视的浪漫梦想,在她目前的情况下似乎不可能实现。
The disappointment in her marriage grew stronger each day. Emma realized that her husband would never understand her feelings or desires, and she felt trapped in a life that offered no hope of excitement or fulfillment.
她对婚姻的失望与日俱增。艾玛意识到她的丈夫永远不会理解她的感情或欲望,她觉得自己被困在一个没有希望获得刺激或满足的生活中。
