To martin this withered wisp of a creature was a symbol . he was the figure that stood forth representative of the whole miserable mass of weaklings and inefficients who perished according to biological law on the ragged confines of life . they were the unfit 马丁觉得这个萎缩的生灵便是一个象征，一个突出的形象，代表着整个可怜的软弱无能的群体，按照生物学的规律在生命的狭窄崎岖的天地早被消灭掉，因为他们不是“适者” 。
In contrast with the old testament and its weakness , which made it impossible to continue faithful , this promise ensures a continual , whole - hearted obedience as the mark of the believer who takes god at his word , and fully claims what the promise secures 这正好与旧约，以及它的软弱无能成了对比；这种软弱无能，使人不能一直忠心遵守，而这新约的应许确实保证使人继续而全心的顺服；这就是那些谨守神的话，并且完全支取那应许之信徒身上的标志。
Georgiana said she dreaded being left alone with eliza ; from her she got neither sympathy in her dejection , support in her fears , nor aid in her preparations ; so i bore with her feeble - minded wailings and selfish lamentations as well as i could , and did my best in sewing for her and packing her dresses 乔治亚娜害怕同伊丽莎单独相处，说是情绪低沉时得不到她的同情胆怯时得不到她的支持收拾行装时得不到她的帮助。所以乔治亚娜软弱无能畏首畏尾自私自利怨天尤人，我都尽量忍受，并力尽所能替她做针线活，收拾衣装。
