第16章02. Preparing f

　　'Well，I'd like you to give me the answer to a question．'
　　He looked worried，and turned away from me．
　　'Curiosity is dangerous，'he said．'I may not be able to agree to this particular request．Well，what is it？'
　　'How stern you look！I suppose that's how you will look when we are married！This is what I want to know．Why did you take such trouble to make me believe you wished to marry Miss Ingram？'
　　He stopped frowning at once and smiled down at me．
　　'Is that all？What a relief！All right，I shall have to confess，although you may be angry with me，Jane—as angry as you were last night，when you told me we were equal．Well，I pretended to love Miss Ingram to make you madly jealous．I wanted you to be as much in love with me as I was with you．'
　　'And I suppose you didn't care at all about poor Miss Ingram's feelings？'
　　'She only has one feeling—pride．Were you jealous，Jane？'
　　'Never mind，Mr Rochester．One more request—please explain everything to Mrs Fairfax．She looked so shocked last night！'

“我希望你给我一个问题的答案。”
　　他看上去有些担心，转身背对着我。
　　“好奇是危险的。”他说，“我或许无法答应这个特别的请求。好吧，什么问题？”
　　“你怎么这么严厉！我想我们结婚后你就会是这个样子！这就是我想知道的：你为什么费那么大功夫让我相信你想娶英格姆小姐？”
　　他立即眉头舒展，微笑着俯视着我。
　　“就这个？真让我松了口气。好吧，我必须坦白，不过也许会惹你生气，就像昨晚上你跟我说我们是平等的那时候一样生气。我假装爱英格姆小姐，是为了让你嫉妒得发狂。我希望你能像我爱你一样地爱我。”
　　“那么我想你一点儿也不顾及可怜的英格姆小姐的感情？”
　　“她只有一种感情——傲慢。简，你嫉妒过吗？”
　　“没什么，罗切斯特先生。还有一个请求——请向费尔法斯太太解释这一切。昨天晚上她吃惊不小。”
