纪录片《简·奥斯汀：一个天才的崛起》欧文版学习笔记：第2集
纪录片《简·奥斯汀：一个天才的崛起》从时局的铺垫作为广角境头，向她的家庭及重要亲信延伸，自然合理地穿插每本书的创作背景和时间线，来铺设一个天才的成长环境、内心动荡及创作动机。
那些熟悉却又不那么亲切的面孔、那些鲜活甚至灵动到让人茅塞顿开的表达、和让你不得不驻足、研习的新鲜语料和文化梗，随着一个个学者、作家的口述展开和演员们倾情但静默的表演，你会看到一个不屈灵魂如何从天真到多愁、从轻狂到沉默，感受到：简·奥斯汀用她那手术刀一样的笔，把一个老掉牙的「旧常识」解剖出令人拍大腿的「新维度」。

欧文说：在《傲慢与偏见》这台精密的“对话机器”中，班内特先生就像是一位坐在剧场前排、手持毒舌剧本的观众。他最令人印象深刻、带有深刻自嘲意味的一句话，出现在小说接近尾声的第57章（即第三卷第15章）。这句话就是：“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?” （“我们活着是为了什么？不就是给邻居们当笑料，再反过来笑话他们吗？”），这句话不仅是他个人的处世哲学，更是奥斯丁对那个社交圈子最辛辣的解构。

考虑到原句的情绪色彩，这里的翻译我们需要谨慎处理，我们先来看关键语境：
