In a few minutes she was joined by Bingley, whose conference with her father had been short and to the purpose.
没过几分钟,彬格莱就到她这儿来了,因为他跟她父亲谈得很简捷扼要。

"Where is your sister?" said he hastily, as he opened the door.
他一打开门,便连忙问道:“你姐姐在哪儿?”

"With my mother up stairs. She will be down in a moment, I dare say."
“在楼上我妈那儿,马上就会下来。”

He then shut the door, and, coming up to her, claimed the good wishes and affection of a sister. Elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed her delight in the prospect of their relationship. They shook hands with great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of Jane's perfections; and in spite of his being a lover, Elizabeth really believed all his expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and himself.
他于是关上了门,走到她跟前,让她亲切地祝贺姐夫。伊丽莎白真心诚意地说,她为他们俩未来的美满姻缘感到欣喜。两人亲切地握了握手。她只听得他讲他自己的幸福,讲吉英的十全十美,一直讲到吉英下楼为止。虽然这些话是出于一个情人之口,可是她深信他那幸福的愿望一定可以实现,因为吉英绝顶聪明,脾气更是好得不能再好,这便是幸福的基础,而且他们彼此的性格和趣味也十分相近。

It was an evening of no common delight to them all; the satisfaction of Miss Bennet's mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face, as made her look handsomer than ever. Kitty simpered and smiled, and hoped her turn was coming soon. Mrs. Bennet could not give her consent or speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings, though she talked to Bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when Mr. Bennet joined them at supper, his voice and manner plainly shewed how really happy he was.
这一晚大家都非常高兴,班纳特小姐因为心里得意,脸上也显得鲜艳娇美,光彩焕发,比平常更加漂亮。吉蒂笑笑忍忍,忍忍笑笑,一心只希望这样的幸运赶快轮到自己头上。班纳特太太同彬格莱足足谈了半个钟头之久,她满口嘉许,极端赞美,可总觉得不能够把满腔的热情充分表达出来;班纳特先生跟大家一块儿吃晚饭的时候,但看他的谈吐举止,便可以看出他也快活到极点。

Not a word, however, passed his lips in allusion to it, till their visitor took his leave for the night; but as soon as he was gone, he turned to his daughter, and said, "Jane, I congratulate you. You will be a very happy woman."
不过他当时对这件事却一字不提,等到贵客一走,他又连忙转过身来对大女儿说:“吉英,我恭喜你。你可成了一个极幸福的姑娘啦。”

Jane went to him instantly, kissed him, and thanked him for his goodness.
吉英立刻走上前去吻他,多谢他的好意。

"You are a good girl;" he replied, "and I have great pleasure in thinking you will be so happily settled. I have not a doubt of your doing very well together. Your tempers are by no means unlike. You are each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will always exceed your income."
他说:“你是个好孩子;想到你这样幸福地解决了终身大事,我真高兴。我相信你们一定能够和好相处。你们的性格很相近。你们遇事都肯迁就,结果会弄得样样事都拿不定主张,你们那么好讲话,结果会弄得个个佣人都欺负你们;你们都那么慷慨,到头来一定会入不敷出。”

"I hope not so. Imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be unpardonable in me."
“但愿不会如此。我要是在银钱问题上粗心大意,那是不可原谅的。”

"Exceed their income! My dear Mr. Bennet," cried his wife, "what are you talking of? Why, he has four or five thousand a year, and very likely more." Then addressing her daughter, "Oh! my dear, dear Jane, I am so happy! I am sure I shan't get a wink of sleep all night. I knew how it would be. I always said it must be so, at last. I was sure you could not be so beautiful for nothing! I remember, as soon as ever I saw him, when he first came into Hertfordshire last year, I thought how likely it was that you should come together. Oh! he is the handsomest young man that ever was seen!"
他的太太叫道:“入不敷出!我的好老爷,你这是什么话?他每年有四五千镑收入,可能还不止呢。”她又对大女儿说:“我的好吉英亲吉英,我太高兴了!我今天晚上休想睡得着觉。我早就知道会这样,我平常老是说,总有一天会这样。我一向认为你不会白白地生得这样好看。他去年初到哈福德郡的时候,我一看到他,就觉得你们两人一定会成双配对。天哪!我一辈子也没有见过象他这样漂亮的男人!”
