She saw in it a palpable proof of the grand passion.

她从中看到了伟大激情的明显证据。

Without a grand passion I should be languishing in boredom during the finest time of my life, the years from sixteen to twenty.

没有伟大的激情，我应该在我生命中最美好的时光，从十六岁到二十岁的岁月里，在无聊中煎熬。

It was only a question of course of the grand passion; light love was unworthy of a girl of her age and birth.

这当然只是一个关于伟大激情的问题； 对她这个年龄和出身的女孩来说， 淡淡的爱是不值得的。

" A widow, though, who scorns the grand passions, " answered Mathilde coldly, " for she has lived long enough to see her lover prefer to her after six months another woman who was the origin of all their unhappiness" .

“不过，她是一个寡妇，她蔑视伟大的激情，”玛蒂尔德冷冷地回答，“因为她已经活了足够长的时间，看到她的情人在六个月后更喜欢另一个女人，而这个女人是他们所有不幸的根源。”
