I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it.
我以为我在哪里开口(求婚)以及说些什么很重要 。
Then I realized the only thing that matters is that you, you make me happier than I ever thought I could be.
后来我才意识到,唯一重要的,是你让我得到了超乎期待的幸福。
And if you’ll let me,

傲慢与偏见中,达西和伊丽莎白的雨中争吵和表白,真的是句句经典,我准备写完这段再去重温一遍电影了...
Darcy: Miss Elizabeth. l have struggled in vain and can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. l came to Rosings only to see you. l have fought against judgement, my family's expectation, the inferiority of your birth, my rank. l will put them aside and ask you to end my agony.
达西:伊丽莎白小姐,我一直在徒劳地挣扎,再也不能忍受下去了。这几个月对于我来说是一种折磨。我来罗新斯只是为了见你。我必须见你。我一直在与世俗的评价,家族的期望,你低微的出生,我的阶级,所有这些事作斗争,但我现在要把它们统统抛开,让你来结束我的痛苦。
Lizzie: l don't understand.
伊丽莎白:我不明白你在说什么。

达西:我爱你。最深挚的爱。请给我这个荣幸,接受我吧。

【2004年阅读Text 4,第2段】
“Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,” says education writer Diane Ravitch. “Schools could be a counterbalance.” Ravitch’s latest book, Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.
【参考译文】
“学校总是处于一个实践比知识更为重要的社会中。”教育作家黛安?拉维奇说,“学校本来可以成为一种平衡。”拉维奇的新书《落后:一个世纪以来学校改革的失败》探究了美国学校里反才智主义的根源,书中的结论是,学校根本无法扭转美国人对追求才智的厌恶。
