参考译文

托马斯 卡莱尔（1795-1881）是苏格兰的散文家和历史学家，也是世界上一流的作家。但无论这位作家有多么地了不起，他毕竟也是一个凡人，凡人就免不了会犯错误.

托马斯·卡莱尔的经典语录: 雄辩是银，沉默是金。

在1826年，10月17日，卡莱尔与他的秘书简威尔斯结了婚。（ 1.翻译 ）虽然夫妇俩不时也会吵吵架，但感情还是蛮好的。

结了婚后，简仍给卡莱尔当秘书。可是几年后，简却病倒了。但简还是继续带病工作了好几周，由于卡莱尔对写作非常地投入，所以，他并没有阻止简。简得的是癌症，虽然发作得比较慢，但最终，她还是病倒在床。尽管卡莱尔非常地爱简，但因为忙于工作，他很少抽时间来陪简。

简死后，她的亲朋好友都到她的墓地参加葬礼。那是一个悲痛的日子,（ 3.翻译 ）。葬礼后，卡莱尔回到家里，心情非常沉重。他爬上楼梯，来到简的房间，坐在她床边的椅子上。回想起自己很少抽时间陪伴爱侣，卡莱尔非常地后悔，恨不得时间可以倒流。
