         接：  Seraph  六翼天使          Fiend   魔鬼

         撒拉弗（Seraph/Seraphim），是神的使者中最高位者，天使之首炽天使，极少从事任何劳动，唯一的使命（或云本质）就是歌颂神。是神最亲近的御使，似神的物质，犹太教和基督教中，他是直接和神沟通的角色，是个纯粹只有光及思考的灵体，并对炽爱产生共鸣。在天使群中甚持威严和名誉，被称为是“爱和想像力的精灵”。

        炽天使无形无体，以其振动创造生命。若是必须现身於人前时，是以六翼四首（亦有二首之说）之姿出现。犹太教和基督教都是形容其有六翼，手持刻有Sanctus（希伯来语曰Trisagion；圣哉，圣哉，圣哉，万众之王）赞美词的圣扇（Flabellum，或曰火炎短剑）作指挥的旗帜。

        撒拉弗有六个翅膀。用两个翅膀遮脸，两个翅膀遮脚，两个翅膀飞翔。一睁眼，就会发出如狮吼声，并发出红色电光划过长空，形如长蛇（龙）。炽天使的希伯来语，是“治愈者”和“至高者”（或守护天使）二字的合成字。

         簡愛第九章開頭描寫春天到來的欣欣向榮，對比剛過去的嚴寒冬天，早春四月顯得格外舒心。

          the nights and mornings no longer by their Canadian temperature froze the very blood in our veins;

          平時常聽同事說加拿大冬天冷，想不到都成專有名詞了。

 Flowers peeped out amongst the leaves; snow- drops, crocuses（番紅花）, purple auriculas（報春花）, and golden-eyed pansies（紫羅蘭）.

chapter iv：恨往往会留遗憾，Jane对舅妈其实也还是有些好感吧：

 

Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as aromatic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavour, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned. Willingly would I now have gone and asked Mrs. Reed’s pardon; but I knew, partly from ex -perience and partly from instinct, that was the way to make her repulse me with double scorn, thereby re-exciting every turbulent impulse of my nature.

chapter vi：Helen Burns回答Jane关于对她被惩罚的同情时，跟Melanie的话一样，都充满了宗教的力量：

It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you; and besides, the Bible bids us return good for evil.”

 

“It is not violence that best overcomes hate—nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.”

 

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.  We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world: but the time will soon come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies; when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark of the spirit will remain,—the impalpable principle of light and thought, pure as when it left the Creator to inspire the creature: whence it came it will return; perhaps again to be communicated to some being higher than man—perhaps to pass through gradations of glory, from the pale human soul to brighten to the seraph!  Surely it will never, on the contrary, be suffered to degenerate from man to fiend?  No; I cannot believe that: I hold another creed: which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention; but in which I delight, and to which I cling: for it extends hope to all: it makes Eternity a rest—a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss.  Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last: with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end.”

Chapter viii：这次轮到Jane受罚Helen过来安慰了，但安慰的语言还是Helen的：

“If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.”

“Hush, Jane! you think too much of the love of human beings; you are too impulsive, too vehement; the sovereign hand that created your frame, and put life into it, has provided you with other resources than your feeble self, or than creatures feeble as you.  Besides this earth, and besides the race of men, there is an invisible world and a kingdom of spirits: that world is round us, for it is everywhere; and those spirits watch us, for they are commissioned to guard us; and if we were dying in pain and shame, if scorn smote us on all sides, and hatred crushed us, angels see our tortures, recognise our innocence (if innocent we be: as I know you are of this charge which Mr. Brocklehurst has weakly and pompously repeated at second-hand from Mrs. Reed; for I read a sincere nature in your ardent eyes and on your clear front), and God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward.  Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness—to glory?”

Miss Temple：跟Melanie太像了，关于她的描写也很传神。

Miss Temple had always something of serenity in her air, of state in her mien, of refined propriety in her language, which precluded deviation into the ardent, the excited, the eager: something which chastened the pleasure of those who looked on her and listened to her, by a controlling sense of awe

Well has Solomon said—“Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.”

第九章“I am very happy, Jane; and when you hear that I am dead, you must be sure and not grieve: there is nothing to grieve about.  We all must die one day, and the illness which is removing me is not painful; it is gentle and gradual: my mind is at rest.  I leave no one to regret me much: I have only a father; and he is lately married, and will not miss me.  By dying young, I shall escape great sufferings.  I had not qualities or talents to make my way very well in the world: I should have been continually at fault.”

12章一开始有Jane大段介绍内心精神世界和女权主义的论述：

Anybody may blame me who likes, when I add further, that, now and then, when I took a walk by myself in the grounds; when I went down to the gates and looked through them along the road; or when, while Adèle played with her nurse, and Mrs. Fairfax made jellies in the storeroom, I climbed the three staircases, raised the trap-door of the attic, and having reached the leads, looked out afar over sequestered field and hill, and along dim sky-line—that then I longed for a power of vision which might overpass that limit; which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen—that then I desired more of practical experience than I possessed; more of intercourse with my kind, of acquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach.  I valued what was good in Mrs. Fairfax, and what was good in Adèle; but I believed in the existence of other and more vivid kinds of goodness, and what I believed in I wished to behold.

Who blames me?  Many, no doubt; and I shall be called discontented.  I could not help it: the restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes.  Then my sole relief was to walk along the corridor of the third storey, backwards and forwards, safe in the silence and solitude of the spot, and allow my mind’s eye to dwell on whatever bright visions rose before it—and, certainly, they were many and glowing; to let my heart be heaved by the exultant movement, which, while it swelled it in trouble, expanded it with life; and, best of all, to open my inward ear to a tale that was never ended—a tale my imagination created, and narrated continuously; quickened with all of incident, life, fire, feeling, that I desired and had not in my actual existence.

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.  Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot.  Nobody knows how many rebellions besides political rebellions ferment in the masses of life which people earth.  Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.  It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.

15章Jane浇灭火灾后回房里睡不著，胡思乱想直到天明：

Sense would resist delirium: judgment would warn passion.
