Imperfection and perfection

"She is a poor old maid, And it is only poverty which makes celibacy contemptible. A single woman of good fortune is always respectable." Only poverty can make celibacy contemptible. Rich single women will always be respected. "I may have lost my heart ,but not my self-control." I may have lost my mind, but not my self-control. "Maybe it is our imperfections which make us so perfect for one another." The landscape of the apple orchard and garden has the elegance of oil painting. No matter which version of Emma it is, I have a good impression of the male protagonist. Although Emma has the common problems, pride, and temperament that many girls have, she is still a kind-hearted girl who knows her mistakes and can correct her.
