Sense and Sensibility


Book 12

Sense and Sensibility 理智与情感

又是清理原来的笔记本的时候发现的，这些句子是手抄的。 我真要好好想一想怎么才能把字写好。当务之急！自己都看不下去了。

这本书是我在 vienna, VA 捡的，那里有一个trial， washington old post trail。 可以跑到一个小镇上，小镇上有图书馆。 图书馆里有免费的书。 

我还是蛮喜欢这本书的，因为是大团圆结局。像M 一样太强烈的情感真的可能不好。像三言二拍 里面， 那些敢为爱疯狂的最后都没什么好结局。

要是我只看书，可能是看不懂的，好在有那个电影，我最记得就是Dr.House 在里面有演。 故事真的还是蛮简单的故事，没有白血病，失意，亲兄妹， 世仇的偶像剧情节。但是为什么，是经典？ 里面的寓意我可能不知道，但是单单看我抄下来的这些句子，就觉得很美，真的好有文化！我记得最后， Elinor 得到求婚后，哭得那个情节！ sense 也有sensibility !

最后，像书里说的有朋友，爱人当然都好。 但当自己独处的时候，也要有一个爱好让自己开心！

就好像人生是一台音乐会里面会有很多音乐，有朋友的时候就是交响曲，有家人的时候是温馨的弦乐四重奏，和爱人在一起的时候是你侬我侬的二重奏。这些时候，我都可以稍稍走神，没有关系，因为有人可以依靠。 但是一个人的时候，就是独奏。

marianne was sensible and clever but eager in everything her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation

which were very dark, there was a life, a spirit, and eagerness which could hardly be seen without delight in her sister’s happiness, forget for a time for her own disappointment.

you must begin your improvements on this house, observe Elinor, and your difficulties will soon vanish.

gaiety was never part of my character

⭐you would be a happier man if you had any profession to engage your time and give an interest to your plans and actions. would not be able to give them so much of your time but you would know when to go when you left them. 

but remember that the pain of parting from friends will be felt by everybody at times, whatever be their education on states, know your own happiness you mother will secure to you in time, that independent you are so anxious for, how much may not a few months to argument and fix her sorrow by seeking silence, solitude and idleness.

lucy is monstrous pretty


m’s joy was almost a degree beyond happiness

rapture of delight expectation

the evening was spent in all the anxiety of expression and pain of disappointment

with a melancholy impression of CB’s unhappiness and was prevented even from wishing it removed by her anxiety for very event that must confirm it.


I must beg that you will not deceive yourself any longer

my affections have been long engaged elsewhere

think of what you would have suffered if the discovery of this character had been delayed to a later period

i was once as dear to him as my own soul could wish


He is not the only young man in the world worth having

there seems a hardness of heart about him

a determined silence when obligate to endure it.

too great importance placed by her on the delicacies of a strong sensibility. M expected from other people the same opinions and feelings as her own, and she judged of their motive by the immediate effect of their actions on herself

acuteness of disappointment with followed such an ecstasy of more than hope, she felt as if till that instant she had never felt

Elinor, with great civility, declined the proposal.

One of the most charming women in the world

Kind of cold-hearted selfishness on both sides which mutually attracted them.


all exultation on being so honorably distinguished

I nearly believe he has the most delicate conscience in the world

most incapable of being selfish

had curiosity enough to desire

One’s happiness depending entirely on any particular person, it is not mean it is not fit. it is not possible that it should be so

if the loss of what is most valued is so easily to be made up by something else. your resolution, your self-command is perhaps a little less to be wondered at.

Her heart was not sorry that she could like him no more

languid indolence and selfish repining now at work

I saw that my own feelings had prepared my sufferings, and that my want fortitude under them had almost led me to the grave

i m now perfectly satisfied, i wish for no change, i never could have been happy with him, after knowing, as sooner or later i must have known all this.

my happiness was never his objection

Elinor could sit it no longer she almost has out of the room and burst into tears of joy. He perhaps saw or even heard her emotion.

so wonderful and sudden a perplexity which they had no means of lessening but their own conjectures.

She was everything by turns by the tranquil delight of each observing friend. M could never love by halves, and her whole heart became in times. as much devoted to her husband as it had once been to Will.

Instead of falling a sacrifice to an irresistible passion, as once she had fondly flattery herself with expecting.

released from his former engagement to address herself and declared an affection as tender, as constant she had ever supposed it to be. she was overcome by her own fecility.

New words: 

stipulate, adieus, prodigious, boisterous, impertinence, forlorn
