I doubt if I have anything more for my present rule of life than following inclinations which do me and nobody else any harm, and actually give pleasure to those I love best.

我怀疑我目前的生活规则除了遵循对我和其他人没有任何伤害的倾向之外， 还有什么比这更重要的了， 而且实际上让我最爱的人快乐。

I cannot bear to think of my little Hetty shedding tears when I am not there to kiss them away; and if I followed only my own inclinations, I should be with her at this moment instead of writing.

我无法忍受我的小海蒂在我不在场亲吻他们时流下的眼泪；如果我只是随心所欲，此刻我应该和她在一起而不是写作。
