An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.

  • -- Jane Austen 简·奥斯汀

订婚的女人总是比没订婚的女人更讨人喜欢。她对自己很满意。她的烦恼已经过去了,她觉得她可以毫无顾虑地施展她所有的讨人喜欢的本领。有一位小姐订婚,一切都很安全;没有什么害处。
