"Not to disown her husband. To let him at least be her friend--her penitent, humble friend. We are man and wife. If I were to say so publicly, she would admit it. In this respect at least I have been generous: will she not be generous too? What harm could it do her if we lived under the same roof, and I took her to the theater, and fetched her home, and did little friendly offices for her?"英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
Proceeding, he read:
"Ilderim, surnamed the Generous, sheik of the tribe of Ilderim, to the son who succeeds me. "All I have, O son, shall be thine in the day of thy succession, except that property by Antioch known as the Orchard of Palms; and it shall be to the son of Hur who brought us such glory in the Circus--to him and his forever. "Dishonor not thy father. ILDERIM THE GENEROUS, Sheik."
"What say you?" asked Ben-Hur, of Simonides. Esther took the papers pleased, and read them to herself. Simonides remained silent. His eyes were upon the ship; but he was thinking. At length he spoke.英文原著 · 《Ben-Hur》
"Of cup or platter need has none The guest who seeks the generous one, -- Sigurd the Generous, who can trace His lineage from the giant race; For Sigurd's hand is bounteous, free, -- The guardian of the temples he. He loves the gods, his liberal hand Scatters his sword's gains o'er the land-"英文原著 · 《Heimskringla》
I cannot rest easy without telling you more gravely than I did when we met for five minutes near the Museum, how deeply I have felt the many generous things (as far as Frank could remember them) which you said about me at the dinner. Frank came early next morning boiling over with enthusiasm about your speech. You have indeed always been to me a most generous friend, but I know, alas, too well how greatly you overestimate me. Forgive me for bothering you with these few lines.英文原著 · 《More Letters of Charles Darwin Volume I》
She said so, but the sudden happiness of finding herself wealthy was not without its softening effect on Amy's feelings. Generous impulses alternated with moods of discontent. The thought of her husband in his squalid lodgings tempted her to forget injuries and disillusions, and to play the part of a generous wife. It would be possible now for them to go abroad and spend a year or two in healthful travel; the result in Reardon's case might be wonderful. He might recover all the energy of his imagination, and resume his literary career from the point he had reached at the time of his marriage.英文原著 · 《New Grub Street》
Back, hope! Back, happiness! The mate for me When Polyeucte leaves my side--is Constancy! Were this my will, were this, ye Gods, my fate-- To shame would memory turn, as love must yield to hate! But generous art thou--most generous be! His pardon will my father grant to thee. He fears thee: more, if Polyeucte's life he take, For thee he slays him--yes, 'tis for thy sake. Christ died for man--let pagan virtue dim His fame: plead for thy foe!英文原著 · 《Polyuecte》
