你太慷慨了，不要跟我开玩笑。如果你的感情仍然和去年四月一样，请立刻告诉我。我的感情和愿望没有改变，但是你的一句话将永远让我对这个问题保持沉默。
You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.
常识告诉我们，业绩来来去去，但成本永远存在。
