Mme Du Barry to M. Duval
巴里夫人致杜伐尔书
April 6th,1761
1761年4月6日
Yes, my dear friend, I have told you, and repeat it: I love you dearly. You certainly said the same thing to me, but on your side it is only impetuosity;directly after the first enjoyment, you would think of me no more. I begin to know the world. I will tell you what I suggest, now: pay attention.亲爱的朋友，是的，我告诉过你，现在我再说一遍:我深深地爱你。当然你也对我说过同样的话，但在你这方面，只是一时的感情冲动;第一次交欢之后，你就会把我置之脑后。我已经懂得一点人情世故了。现在我向你提出一个办法，留心听着。
I don't want to remain a shopgirl, but a little more my own mistress, and would therefore like to find someone to keep me. If I did not love you, I would try to get money from you; I would say to you, you shall begin by renting a room for me and furnishing it;only as you told me that you were not rich, you can take me to your own place. It will not cost you any more rent, not more for your table and the rest of your housekeeping. To keep me and my headdress will be the only expense, and for those give me one hundred livres a month, and that will include everything. 我不愿做女店员，我想做个独立自主的女人，因此希望找个能供养我的人。如果我不爱你，我就会想办法向你索取钱财;我会对你说:“你先替我租间房间，置办些家具”;不过，既然你对我说过你没有钱，那你可以把我接到你的寓所去，这样就不会增加房租、伙食和其他开销。你唯一的花销是供养我和给我买点头饰;这两项每月给我一百里弗就够了，一切都包括在内。
Thus we could both live happily, and you would never again have to complain about my refusal. If you love me, accept this proposal;but if you do not love me, then let each of us try his luck elsewhere. Good-by, I embrace you heartily. 这样，我俩都可以过得很愉快，你也再不会埋怨我拒绝你了。如果你爱我，就接受这建议;如果你不爱我，那我们就分道扬镳，另外去碰运气吧。再见。热烈地拥抱你。
