今天公众号“高斋翻硕”给大家分享简·奥斯丁（Jane Austen）的小说《理智与情感》（Sense And Sensibility）节选的单词解析，译文是孙致礼的版本。
《理智与情感》讲述的是出生在英国乡绅家庭的两姐妹埃莉诺和玛丽安曲折复杂的爱情故事。姐姐善于用理智来控制情感，妹妹对情感却毫无节制，因此面对爱情时，她们作出了不同的反应。
Most grateful did Elinor feel to Lady Middleton for observing, at this moment,“that it rained very hard,” though she believed the interruption to proceed less from any attention to her, than from her ladyship's great dislike of all such inelegant subjects of raillery as delighted her husband and mother. The idea however started by her, was immediately pursued by Colonel Brandon, who was on every occasion mindful of the feelings of others; and much was said on the subject of rain by both of them.
使埃丽诺感激不尽的是，恰在这时，米德尔顿夫人说了一句话：“雨下得好大呀！”不过她知道，夫人之所以打岔，并非出于对自己的关心，而是因为她对她丈夫和母亲热衷于这种低级趣味，深为厌恶。她提出的这个话头当即被布兰登上校接了过去，因为他在任何场合都很照顾别人的情绪。于是，两人下雨长下雨短地说了一大堆。

第一句（下）：though she believed the interruption to proceed less from any attention to her, than from her ladyship's great dislike of all such inelegant subjects of raillery as delighted her husband and mother.
