模仿文本： The progress of bourgeois romantic ambition can be traced in fiction. Jane Austen's novels still feel recognisably modern because her aspirations for her characters mirror, and helped to shape those we have for ourselves. Like Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice or Fanny Price in Mansfield Park, we too long to reconcile our wish for a secure family with a sincerity of feeling for our spouses. 

 

译文：布尔乔亚式的浪漫遐想，其发展可追溯到小说中。简•奥斯丁(Jane Austen)的小说现在读来仍觉历久弥新，原因在于她所扮演的人物角色的抱负反映了我们自已的抱负，并帮助我们形成了我们自已的抱负。就像《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice)中的伊丽莎白•本内特(Elizabeth Bennett)或《曼斯菲尔德庄园》(Mansfield Park)中的凡妮•普莱斯(Fanny Price)一样，我们同样渴望实现一个稳固的家庭，同时对我们的另一半抱持一种真挚的情感。
