埃爾頓先生重返海伯利村，帶回一個倉促求愛成婚的新娘。這位婦人小有資產，極其粗俗，卻偏偏矯揉造作，自命高雅。
Mr. Elton returned to the village with a hastily wooed and wedded bride, a lady of small fortune, extremely bad manners, and great pretensions to elegance.
愛瑪認為羅伯特·馬丁不配取哈里特為妻，便鼓勵這位姑娘追求年輕的牧師埃爾頓先生。
Instead of thinking of Robert Martin as a husband for Harriet, Emma influenced the girl to aspire to Mr. Elton, the young, rector.
愛瑪自己倒是心安理得，因為她確信埃爾頓先生對哈里特十分鐘情，而哈里特——在她的鼓動之下——對他也有同樣的愛慕之心。
Emma herself suffered from no such qualms, for she was certain that Mr. Elton was as much in love with Harriet as Harriet---through Emma's instigation---was with him.
埃爾頓把他在夜里睡不著時所記熟的故事，幾乎一字不錯的復述了一遍。
Almost word for word, Elton repeated a story which he had committed to heart in the watches of the night.
