你们恐怕都没注意到阿黛尔从寄宿学校回来之后简爱的一段自白,她说目前的阿黛尔很明白自己在这个家里的地 ...
8 I/ q2 V) N6 m你说的是这一段吗?

2 E ^5 V3 F, Q4 w0 z- LYou have not quite forgotten little Adele, have you, reader? I had not; I soon asked and obtained leave of Mr. Rochester, to go and see her at the school where he had placed her. Her frantic joy at beholding me again moved me much. She looked pale and thin: she said she was not happy. I found the rules of the establishment were too strict, its course of study too severe for a child of her age: I took her home with me. I meant to become her governess once more, but I soon found this impracticable; my time and cares were now required by another--my husband needed them all. So I sought out a school conducted on a more indulgent system, and near enough to permit of my visiting her often, and bringing her home sometimes. I took care she should never want for anything that could contribute to her comfort: she soon settled in her new abode, became very happy there, and made fair progress in her studies. As she grew up, a sound English education corrected in a great measure her French defects; and when she left school, I found in her a pleasing and obliging companion: docile, good-tempered, and well-principled. By her grateful attention to me and mine, she has long since well repaid any little kindness I ever had it in my power to offer her.

这里的companion,我不觉得有什么居高临下的含义。我没从文里读出“目前的阿黛尔很明白自己在这个家里的地位”这个意思。另外Adele可能是Rochester的私生女,简爱对她算是继母的关系。

我估计你也不喜欢简奥斯丁,里面描绘的富人,除了男主人公,基本上也都是嘲讽的对象。富人的愚蠢和自私,随着他的财富和社会地位,放大了好多倍,特别的显眼,特别有喜剧效果。而简奥斯丁的一生同夏洛特勃朗特相比要幸福不少,这里的指责我觉得你过苛一点了。+ }9 _( W7 ^# j; K2 |; f
2 k3 v) V/ ?. Z, {你的最后一段,我作为男性,对罗切斯特对简爱的感情觉得很自然,并不觉得那么意外。简爱的社会出身属于中产阶级,受过不错的教育,他们社会地位的差距也不是大到成为不可逾越的鸿沟。他们的结合属于improbable,但不是impossible。这里就是有些YY的成分,我也不怎么在乎。后来简爱得到2万英镑遗产那段,我倒是有些难以接受。9 U- ^( ]( \1 z
