《首辅之妻中英对照版》KaylieLiu

81、Chapter 81: The Prime Minister's Mansion There

　　There has never been real sympathy in this world, at least not genuine sympathy. Sympathy can sometimes be a form of power, whether it's for the rich, the poor, the good, or the bad.

　　这个世界上从来就没有同情，至少是没有真正的同情。无论是贵的，贱的，好的，坏的。同情有些时候就是一种能力。

　　Without power, where does sympathy come from?

　　没有能力，同情何来？

　　Moreover, I, Xu Qianqian, have made it this far relying on my own abilities and hard work. I will never bow down to anyone. If I am going to stay alive, I must make myself useful and live a dignified and confident life. Bowing and submitting has never been my way. I have never done it before, so it is by no means that I will do it now.

　　况且我徐芊芊能混到今日凭借的是个人能力，更是努力，我绝对不会对任何人卑躬屈膝。活-我要活得有价值，有头也有脸，有自信。卑躬屈膝从来不是我会做的事。从前没有，现在更加不可能有。

　　What is love? It is a cloud in the sky, a flower in the mirror, and the moon reflected in the water. It's something I can admire from afar but never reach or climb.

　　爱情是什么？对我来说那就是天边的云，是镜中的花，水中的月。可望而不可即，可遥而不可攀。

　　I have long given up on this.

　　对于这个东西我早就已经舍弃。

　　"Greetings, Madam" I stopped before her and bowed to her.

　　“拜见夫人”我走到她跟前施以一礼道。

　　"Don't stand on ceremony."

　　“对我不用那么客气”

　　As she appeared within her sight, Madam Yu started to assess her. This young lady was indeed a stunning beauty, so it was no wonder his son had fallen for her charms.

　　从她出现在自己的视线中，玉夫人就开始打量她，这个姑娘真是个绝色美人，也难怪自己儿子沦陷其中。

　　"You are the girl who enchants my son and tempts him to give you numerous jades and jewels unceasingly? You should know who you are and what kind of our family is. I don't need to keep reminding you. You should be sober enough by yourself."

　　“你就是那个徐芊芊，把我儿迷得神魂颠倒。珠玉赠送，连绵不绝？你应该清楚自己什么身份和我们家是什么背景，我想我该不需要刻意提醒你，你自己应该看得很清楚才是。”

　　Surprisingly, she didn't use a euphemism and instead got right to the point.

　　她竟然就这样开门见山，连过场戏都懒得说。

　　It was proved that I was as unimportant as dust in her eyes. I secretly chuckled at myself.

　　果然我的身份是低微到了尘埃里呀，我暗笑道。

　　"Yes, I am the humble Xu Qianqian. And I don't dare to make friends with the Prime Minister's Mansion. I know I shouldn't, and I would never dream of it!"

　　“是，我就是无名小卒徐芊芊，不敢高攀相府的高枝,我自知不应该，也不敢妄想”

　　I gestured to my maid Glass and then said to Madam Yu, "I grew up in a low-income family. But I know what belongs to me and what doesn't. these are the jewels that Young Master entrusted me for preservation. I am just a keeper. Now that their owner is here, I'd like to return them to you. I know I'm not worthy of owning these things."

　　我向我的丫环小草招了招一手。然后对着玉夫人道:”我自幼家贫，但是我知道什么东西属于自己，什么东西不属于自己。这是玉公子放我这保管的金银珠宝，如今主人既到，现原璧归赵。我也自知不配拥有这些东西”

　　" Well, you've set your sights on the position of my son's wife, so these vulgar objects don't interest you anymore. What a high ambition you are!" Her words were not a question but a statement.

　　“哦，你看上了我们家少夫人的位置，这些粗俗之物就不放在眼里了，你野心也真大呀!”她的话不是疑问句，而是陈述句。

　　"Madame, I clearly understand my circumstance from the beginning, so I will not get trapped in what you said. As long as Your ladyship manages your son well, I, Xu Qianqian, will not be a troublemaker. I wish never to see him for the rest of my life."

　　“夫人，芊芊从一开始就有自知之明，所以从不让自己深陷其中。只要夫人管好公子，我徐芊芊绝对不是胡搅蛮缠之人。愿与玉公子，一世不见。”
