" I have an irksome duty to perform, " thought Julien.

“我有一项令人厌烦职责要行， ” 于连想。

Women, I allow, may have different duties to fulfil; but they are HUMAN duties, and the principles that should regulate the discharge of them, I sturdily maintain, must be the same.

我承认，女性可能有不同职责要行；但它们是人类职责，我坚决主张，规范行这些职责原则必须相同。

For once man is content with his lot; harmony is achieved; his house fits him; a tree is a tree; a chair is a chair; each knows its office and fulfils it.

这一次，人对自己命运感到满足；和谐得以实现；子适合；一棵树就是一棵树；椅子就是椅子；每个人都知道自己职责并行职责。

The talk between the lovers when it is not passionate is practical or philosophic, as though the discharge of their daily duties left them with more desire to question life and its purpose than to investigate each other's sensibilities.

恋人之间谈话在没有激情时候是实用或哲学，仿佛日常职责行让们更渴望质疑生活及其目，而不是调查彼此感受。
