Chapter 10: Financial Problems
第10章：财务问题
Emma had expensive tastes. She bought beautiful clothes, decorated her home with luxury items, and enjoyed the finest restaurants in Rouen. To pay for these luxuries, she borrowed money from a local merchant named Lheureux.
艾玛有昂贵的品味。她买漂亮的衣服，用奢侈品装饰她的家，享受鲁昂最好的餐厅。为了支付这些奢侈品，她从当地商人勒勒那里借钱。
Lheureux was a clever and dishonest businessman. He encouraged Emma to buy things on credit, telling her that she could pay him back later. Emma, who understood nothing about money or business, trusted him and continued her spending.
勒勒是一个聪明但不诚实的商人。他鼓励艾玛赊账买东西，告诉她以后可以还给他。艾玛对金钱或生意一无所知，信任他并继续她的消费。
The debts quickly accumulated. Emma borrowed more money to pay off old debts, creating a dangerous cycle that grew worse each month. She did not tell Charles about her financial situation, knowing he would be shocked and angry.
债务很快积累起来。艾玛借更多的钱来还旧债，制造了一个每个月都在恶化的危险循环。她没有告诉查尔斯她的财务状况，知道他会感到震惊和愤怒。
Lheureux used Emma's debts to control her. When she could not pay, he threatened to tell Charles and ruin her reputation. Emma became desperate, but she could not stop her spending because it was the only thing that brought her any happiness.
勒勒利用艾玛的债务来控制她。当她无法付款时，他威胁要告诉查尔斯并毁掉她的名誉。艾玛变得绝望，但她不能停止她的消费，因为这是带给她任何快乐的唯一事情。
