As the manager of the Performance sits before the curtain on the boards and looks into the Fair, a feeling of profound melancholy comes over him in his survey of the bustling place.

当表演的经理坐在幕布前的舞台上，俯瞰着热闹的集市时，一种深深的忧郁感涌上心头。

Yes, this is VANITY FAIR; not a moral place certainly; nor a merry one, though very noisy.

是的，这就是名利场；显然不是一个道德的地方；也不是一个快乐的地方，尽管非常喧闹。
