我和你一樣有靈魂

"I tell you I must go!" I retorted, roused to something like passion. "Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am souless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor evern of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that adresses your spirit; just as if both has passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,--as we are!"
“我告訴你我非走不可！”我回駁著，感情很有些沖動(dòng)。“你難道認(rèn)為，我會(huì)留下來甘愿做一個(gè)對你來說無足輕重的人？你以為我是一架機(jī)器——一架沒有感情的機(jī)器？能夠容忍別人把一口面包從我嘴里搶走，把一滴生命之水從我杯子里潑掉？難道就因?yàn)槲乙回毴缦?、默默無聞、長相平庸、個(gè)子瘦小，就沒有靈魂和心腸了？你想錯(cuò)了！我的心靈跟你一樣豐富，我的心胸跟你一樣充實(shí)！要是上帝賜予我一點(diǎn)姿色和財(cái)富，我會(huì)使你難以離開我，就像現(xiàn)在我很難離開你一樣。我不是根據(jù)習(xí)俗、常規(guī)，甚至也不是血肉之軀同你說話，而是我的靈魂同你的靈魂在對話，就仿佛我們兩人穿過墳?zāi)梗驹谏系勰_下，彼此平等，本來就如此！”
