My family have been prominent, well-to-do people in this middle-western city for three generations.

我家三代以来都是这个中西部城市家道殷实的头人物。

You don't know the life of a rich girl, father. Every hour and minute of her time is planned.

“不知道现在社交界的状况，爹。她是社交界的头人物之一，她的每小时每分钟都在前几天预先当了。

Yes. So of course it's difficult that she is to take her place among the leaders of the county. - Why?

有的，所以她要变成郡里的头人物，这当然让人难以接受。-为什么？

What did you say? - Only that Mrs Crawley, a decent middle class woman with neither birth nor fortune is expecting to fill our mother's shoes as one of the leaders of the county.

说什么？-卡劳利太太是位体的中产阶级女士，既无高贵血统又无丰厚财产，却要顶替我们母亲成为郡里的头人物。
