Sense and Sensibility (New Art Work)

ダッシュウッド家の娘たちは、姉妹とは思えないほど性格が違う。エリノアは冷静で良識があり、経験に基づいた常識的な判断力があるので頼りになる。一方、マリアンヌは感受性が鋭く、情熱と夢想的な感性に満ちあふれている。彼女にはつまらぬ常識や、適齢期をはるかに過ぎた35歳の中年男に関り合う時間はない。本当の愛は若者のみが感じ取ることができる。17歳で恋に破れたとき、寝ても醒めても心から離れない激しい心の痛みから立ち直ることができるなど、どうして思うことができよう。

Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense - or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you ever expect to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?
