It was a momentous question. I had gone out into the world to shift for myself.

这是个重要的问题。我已经步入社会，独立谋生了。

Once I'd learned that, it was easy enough to turn to and shift for myself.

一旦我了解到这一点， 就很容易转向并为自己转移。

No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time.

不会，决不会，还是让我来自求多福吧，如果我运气好，到时候我也许又会碰到另外一个柯林斯。”
