23. Money and Love金錢與愛情
When the Roman Movement was still in its first fervor, it was a common matter of debate whether people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored Iove and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously solved by the discovery, on che last page, that the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men what hoped for this denouement were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents. while admitting chat their daughters should marry for love. took care that all the young men they met should be rich. This med was sometimes very successful it was adopted, for example, by my maternal grandfather, who had a large number of romantic daughters, none of whom married hadly.
茌浪漫運動盛行之初.^們經常爭論的一件事情便是應該為愛還是為金錢而結婚。年輕人通常贊成前者，而他們的父母則通常贊成后者。在那個時期的小說里面，這一左右為難的情況通常在最后一頁得以圓滿的解決：原本看似身無分文的女主人公搖身一變，成了巨額財產的繼承人。但是在現實生活中，抱有這種大應該為愛而結婚的同時.關這種辦法有時非常成功。例如，我的外祖父就采納了這一方法他有一群浪漫的女兒，個個都嫁得不錯。
In these days of psychology the matter no longer looks as simple as it did years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are not table examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli, who became Lord Beaconsfield was. in his youth poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow. much older than himself and considered by the word to be rather silly. owing to her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money better than he loved her, hut in this the world was mistaken, out the full of their married life, he was deeply and genuinely devoted to her.
近來從心理學角度看待這一問題要比80年前復雜了許多。我們現在已經意識到金錢是獲得真愛的原因或者部分原因：于這一點，歷史上有一些有名的實例。最終成為比肯斯菲爾德伯爵的本杰明迪斯累里年輕的時候，是一名貧窮但卻勇于拼搏且有著遠大抱負的人。他與一位比他大許多的寡婦結了婚，此事被世人認為相當愚蠢。然而多虧了她，他的事業才得以成功。冷嘲熱諷的世人自然認為他愛金錢勝過愛她本人，但是這次世人卻犯了個錯誤。在他們整個漫長的婚姻歲月里，他都深深而真切地愛著她。
I do no suppose he would have love 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. A great deal of affection is based on the fact that its object is a help in resting die purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women who assist them in their career, and it would be very shallow psychology to suppose that the love is not real hecause it has its instinctive root in self-interest.
我料想假如他第一次認識她時，她很窮，他就不會愛上她。但是，由于她的幫助而產生的感激之情使得他對她產生了興趣，并且很容易地發展成為真摯的愛意。許多愛意的產生都是基于這樣一個事實：即施肋的一方曾經幫助過被助的一方實現了其個人目標和價值。以實現抱負為其主要目標的男人可能喜歡在事業上能夠幫助他們的女人，如果因為這種愛的出發點是利己主義便認為它算不上亮愛的話，分析就未免太過于胺淺了。
I have taken an example where the man was poor and the woman rich, but in a world dominated by men the opposite is the commoner case. The psychology however is much the same. If a very rich man asks a very poor girl to marry him, she is likely. Especially if she has social ambitions to feel a kind of gratitude which will lead her to fall in love with him, provided he is not too repulsive. At any rate, he will need a smaller degree of personal attractiveness than a pcxu- man would need. Wealth can often purchase not only the semblance of love hut its reality This is unjust and undesirable hut nonetheless a fact.
我所給出的例子是男的貧窮，女的富有。但是在一個由男人主宰的社會里，與之相反的例子比較普遍。然而，從心理學角度上講基本是相同的。假如一位富有的男人讓一位貧窮的女子嫁給他，只要他不是特別令人討厭的話，她可能會出于某種感激之情最終愛上他。特別是當這位女子懷有某種社會抱負的時候.在這種情況下，他不需要太多的個人魅力。財富不僅僅可以換來表面的愛情，而且可以換來愛的真諦。這是不公正的，也是不受人們歡迎的結論，然而它卻是事實。
