Confession 因错得爱
(Mr. Knightley comes to visit the Woodhouse.)
Mr. Knightley: Time, Emma, will heal the wound. 18)Abominable 19)scoundrel! They will soon be gone to Yorkshire. I feel sorry for her!
Emma: You are talking of Mr. Churchill and Miss Fairfax?
Mr. Knightley: Mmm.
Emma: I, er...I must put the record straight. You are mistaken if you feel I am in need of your compassion. No. No, honestly. I was blind to their...20)attachment, and I blush when I think of some of the things that I said and did. But please believe me when I say that I have no other reason to regret I did not know their secret earlier.
Mr. Knightley: I have to confess, I was not quite sure how far you were 21)entangled. However small your regard, he did not deserve it. He's a disgrace to the name of man.
Emma: I am ashamed of my conduct. My vanity was flattered. When he first came back I...I thought I was attracted to him but I have been examining the workings of my heart and I can, truly, say this: he has taken advantage of me...but he has not injured me. 
Mr. Knightley: Frank Churchill is a fortunate man. He finds an ideal mate, his aunt is in the way, his aunt dies. He has used everybody badly, yet they are all desperate to forgive him.
Emma: You speak as though you envied him.
Mr. Knightley: I do envy him, Emma. His secret is out at least. You will not ask me my secret? Yes, you are wise, but I cannot be, so...I must tell you.
Emma: No, please, don't tell me! Take a little time to think of what you are going to say. For once said, it cannot be unsaid!
Mr. Knightley: I will obey you.
(Mr. Knightley leaves.)
Emma: Wait. Wait! Please, stop! I am sorry. We are old friends. I will hear anything you want...about anyone. And I will tell you exactly what I think, as your friend.
Mr. Knightley: I don't...Friends indeed! I do want you to be honest. So, tell me. Have I no chance of succeeding? My dearest Emma...for that is what you always have been, and you always will be...My most beloved Emma. I cannot make speeches. If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. I have lectured you and scolded you...and you have borne it as no other woman would have.
Emma: Can this be true?
Mr. Knightley: You'll get nothing but the truth from me. So tell me what you think.
Emma: I find...I do not know what to think.
（奈特利先生造访伍德豪斯一家。）
奈特利先生：爱玛，时间会治愈你的伤口的。这小子真是个流氓！他们很快会去约克郡了。我真替她惋惜！
爱玛：你是指丘吉尔先生和费尔法克斯小姐吗？
奈特利先生：对。
爱玛：我，嗯……我得把话说明白。要是你觉得我需要你的安慰，那你就想错了。不，不，我是说真的。我确实没看出他俩有……私情，想起自己的所作所为，我真是有些脸红，但是请相信我，我并未因自己没早点得知这个秘密感到怨恨。
奈特利先生：我得承认，我不知你对他投入的感情有多少。可哪怕只有一丁点儿，他也是丝毫配不上的。他丢尽了我们男人的脸。
爱玛：我对自己的行为感到惭愧。他满足了我的虚荣心。当他第一次回来时，我……我以为自己喜欢上了他，但我思前想后，扪心自问，我可以肯定地说，他确实是利用了我……但他并没有伤害我。
奈特利先生：弗兰克·丘吉尔真是幸运。他找到意中人时，他舅妈反对，后来他舅妈就过世了。他卑劣地利用了每一个人，可大家却迫不及待地原谅了他。
爱玛：你听上去好像很妒忌他。
奈特利先生：我确实妒忌他，爱玛。他不需要再隐瞒自己的秘密了。你不想知道我的秘密吗？是的，你很聪明，我却做不到。所以……我必须告诉你。
爱玛：不要，请不要说出来！在你开口之前，请仔细斟酌！一旦说出口，就不能收回了！
奈特利先生：那就依着你吧。
（奈特利先生离开了。）
爱玛：等等，等等！请留步！对不起。我们是好朋友，您想说……任何人的任何事，我都愿意听。我也会告诉你我的真实想法，因为我是你的朋友。
奈特利先生：我不会……我不想做朋友！我确实需要你诚实回答。所以，请告诉我，我还能期望赢得你的芳心吗？我最亲爱的爱玛……在我心中你一直都是，将来也永远都会是……我最最亲爱的爱玛。我不擅言辞表达。若我对你的爱没有那么深，也许这些话会更容易说出口。但是你了解我这个人。我总是责备你，数落你……这世上没有第二个女人能像你这样容忍我。
爱玛：这是真的吗？
奈特利先生：我对你永远不会有半点假话。请告诉我你的想法吧。
爱玛：我已经……不知道该想些什么了。
