她们自己

Daughters were expected to join their well-bred friends on the marriage market.

他们期望自己女儿像她们有教养朋友一样在婚姻市场上找到合适。

Often, as with Austen's Elizabeth Bennet or Trollope's Alice Vavasor, they make themselves positively miserable trying to escape the worthy men who will make them happy.

如奥斯丁笔下伊丽莎白和特罗洛普笔下爱丽丝，她们逃避那些本可以给他们带来幸人，并把自己弄得痛苦不堪。
