Very few governesses in England are getting 100 pounds a year.

在英国家庭女教师能够得到一年一百镑的薪水是罕见的。

This is not like what I have heard of the treatment of governesses, but I must not exult too soon.

这不像我耳闻的家庭女教师的待遇。但我也决不能高兴得太早。

A young woman agreed to be the governesses of a family under the temptation of a very high salary, although their requirements were quite unusual.

一位年轻的姑娘难抵丰厚薪水的诱惑，答应去给一户人家做家庭教师，尽管对方的要求有些古怪。
