But the boy did not reappear. As the seconds passed, Vere began to feel proud of him. He was doing that which she would have tried to do had she been a boy. He was rivalling the men. Another second slipped away--and another. He was more than rivalling, he was beating the men. They dived once more. She saw the sun gleam on their backs, which looked polished as they turned slowly over, almost like brown porpoises.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
But Vere was very much. Without Vere, what would her life be? A wave of melancholy flowed over her to-night, a tide come from she knew not where. Making an effort to stem it, she recalled her happiness with Maurice after that day of the Tarantella. How groundless had really been her melancholy then! She had imagined him escaping from her, but he had remained with her, and loved her. He had been good to her until the end, tender and faithful. If she had ever had a rival, that rival had been Sicily.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
"I should have told you all about it that afternoon, only our intercourse is broken off to please a rival. Suppose I gave you a rival, and used you for her sake as you use me for his, what would you say? That would be a worse infidelity than sending for a detective, would it not?"英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》

"Reviens, divin Trajan, vainqueur doux et terrible; Le monde est mon rival, tous les coeurs sont a toi; Mais est-il un coeur plus sensible, Et qui t'adore plus que moi?" [TEMPLE DE LA GLOIRE, Acte iv. ( OEuvres, xii. 328).] "Return, divine Trajan, conqueror sweet and terrible; The world is my rival, all hearts are thine; But is there a heart more loving, Or that adores thee more than I?"英文原著 · 《History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 16》
Coventry followed more leisurely. She might be going to meet her sweetheart; and, if so, he had better talk to her on her return. He walked on till he saw at some distance a building, with light shining though it in a peculiar way; and now the path became very rugged and difficult. He came to a standstill, and eyed the place where his rival was working at that moment. He eyed it with a strange mixture of feelings. It had saved his life and hers, after all. He fell into another mood, and began to laugh at himself for allowing himself to be disturbed by such a rival. But what is this?英文原著 · 《Put Yourself in His Place》
