* 第二十一章综合练习及参考译文 I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for the help which he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. 【续】我认为他最初认识她的时候要是她很穷他未必会爱她。这位妇女由于对他有好感而接济他，使他心存感激，这种感激之情很容易发展成真诚的爱意。 散文翻译 练习1 * 第二十一章综合练习及参考译文 A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in realizing the purposes of the person who feels it.
