of circumstances, because with such an husband, her misery was considered certain.[/en][cn]好消息立刻在全家传开了,而且很快便传到邻舍们耳朵里去。四邻八舍对这件事都抱着相当超然的态度。当然,如果丽迪雅·班纳特小姐亲自上这儿来了,或者说,如果她恰恰相反,远隔尘嚣,住到一个偏僻的农村里去,那就可以给人家增加许多谈话的资料。不过她的出嫁问题毕竟还是使人家议论纷纷。麦里屯那些恶毒的老太婆,原先总是一番好心肠,祝她嫁个如意夫君,如今虽然眼看着情境变了,也是在起劲地谈个不休,因为大家看到她嫁了这么一个丈夫,都认为必定会遭到悲惨的下场

太有个女儿比我的女儿先嫁出去,浪搏恩的财产从此就得让人家来继承。的确,卢卡斯一家手腕才高明呢,弟妇。他们都是为了要捞进这一笔财产。我本来也不忍心就这样编派他们,不过事实的确如此。我在家里既然过得这样不称心,又偏偏碰到这些只顾自己不顾别人的邻舍,真弄得我神经也坏了,人也病了。你可来得正是时候,给了我极大的安慰,我非常喜欢听你讲的那些……长袖子的事情。”[/cn] [en]Mrs. Gardiner, to whom the chief of this news had been given before, in the course of Jane and Elizabeth's correspondence with her, made her sister a slight answer, and, in compassion to her nieces, turned the conversation.[/en][cn]嘉丁纳太太远在跟吉英以及伊丽莎白通信的时候,大体上就已经知道了她们家里最近发生的这些事情,又为了体贴外甥女儿们起见,只稍微敷衍了班纳特太太几句,便把这个话题岔

鉴:昨接哈福德郡来信,借悉先生目前正什心烦虑乱,不胜苦悲。不佞与拙荆闻之,无论对先生个人或尊府老幼,均深表同情。以不佞之名份职位而言,自当聊申悼惜之意,何况与尊府为葭莩,益觉责无旁贷。夫癸诸情理,此次不幸事件自难免令人痛心疾首,盖家声一经败坏,便永无清洗之日,伤天下父母之心,孰有甚于此者?早知如此,但冀其早日夭亡为幸耳。不佞只有曲尽言辞,备加慰问,庶几可以聊宽尊怀。据内人夏绿蒂言,令媛此次淫奔,实系由于平日过分溺爱所致,此尤其可悲者也。唯不佞以为令媛年方及笄,竟而铸成大错,亦足见其本身天性之恶劣;先生固不必过于引咎自责也。日前遇咖苔琳夫人及其千金小姐,曾以此事奉告,夫人等亦与不佞夫妇不所同感。多蒙夫人与愚见不谋而合,认为令媛此次失足,辱没家声,遂使后之攀亲者望而却步,殃及其姐氏终生幸福,堪虑堪虑。瓴念言及此,不禁忆及去年十一月间一事,则又深为庆幸,否则木已成舟,势必自取其辱,受累不浅。敬祈先生善自宽慰,任其妄自菲薄,自食其果,不足怜惜也。(下略)[/cn]

没有提到这件事。偏偏她母亲不能体贴她的苦衷,过不了一个钟头就要提到彬格莱,说是等待他回来实在等待心焦,甚至硬要吉英承认──要是彬格莱果真不回来,那她一定会觉得自己受了薄情的亏待。幸亏吉英临事从容不迫,柔和镇定,好容易才忍受了她这些谗言诽语。[/cn] [en]Mr. Collins returned most punctually on the Monday fortnight, but his reception at Longbourn was not quite so [w]gracious[/w] as it had been on his first introduction.

动了心,我又怎能免俗?甚至我又怎么知道拒绝他是不是上策?因此,我只能答应你不仓忙从事就是了。我决不会一下子就认为我自己是他最中意的人。我虽然和他来往,可是决不会存这种心思。总而言之,我一定尽力而为。”[/cn] [en]"Perhaps it will be as well, if you discourage his coming here so very often. At least, you should not remind your mother of inviting him."[/en][cn]“假如你不让他来得这么勤,也许会好些;至少你不必提醒你母亲邀他来。”[/cn] [en]"As I did the other day," said Elizabeth, with a [w]conscious[/w] smile; "very true, it will be wise in me to [w]refrain[/w] from that.

virtue nor her understanding would preserve her from falling an easy [w]prey[/w].[/en][cn]如果说,大凡一个人爱上一个人,都是因为先有了感激之心,器重之意,那么,伊丽莎白这次感情的变化当然既合情理,又叫人无可非议。反而言之,世人有所谓一见倾心的场面,也有双方未曾交谈三言两语就相互倾心的场面,如果说,由感激和器重产生的爱情,比起一见倾心的爱情来,就显得不近人情事理,那我们当然就不能够再袒护伊丽莎白,不过还有一点可以替她交待清楚一下;当初韦翰使他动心的时候,她也许多少就采用了另一种比较乏味的恋爱方式。这且不

问你一下──”说到这里,他又控制住了自己,把说话的声调变得愉快些,然而接下去说:“他跟人家说话时,语气是否好了些?他待人接物是否比以前有礼貌些?因为我实在不敢指望他──”他的声调低下去了,变得更严肃了,“指望他从本质上变好过。”[/cn] [en]"Oh, no!" said Elizabeth. "In essentials, I believe, he is very much what he ever was."[/en][cn]“没那回事!”伊丽莎白说。“我相信他的本质还是和过去一样。”[/cn] [en]While she spoke, Wickham looked as if scarcely knowing whether to rejoice over her words, or to distrust their meaning.

消了她一切的情趣。她重新又想到达西先生的确没有冤枉她们,他指出她们的那些缺陷确是事实,她深深感觉到,实在难怪他要干涉他朋友和吉英的好事。[/cn] [en]But the [w]gloom[/w] of Lydia's prospect was shortly cleared away; for she received an invitation from Mrs. Forster, the wife of the Colonel of the regiment, to accompany her to Brighton. This invaluable friend was a very young woman, and very lately married. A [w]resemblance[/w] in good humour and good spirits had recommended her and Lydia to each other, and out of their three months' acquaintance they had been intimate two.[/en][cn]但是丽迪雅的忧郁不多一会就烟消云散,因为弗斯脱团长的太太请她陪她一块儿到白利屯去。这位贵友是位很年轻的夫人,新近才结婚的。她跟丽迪雅都是好兴致,好精神,因此意气相投:虽然才只三个月的友谊,却已经做了两个月的知已。[/cn] [en]The [w]rapture[/w] of Lydia on this occasion, her [w]adoration[/w] of Mrs. Forster, the delight of Mrs. Bennet, and the [w]mortification[/w] of Kitty, are scarcely to be described. Wholly inattentive to her sister's feelings, Lydia flew about the house in restless [w]ecstacy[/w], calling for everyone's congratulations, and laughing and talking with more violence than ever; whilst the luckless Kitty continued in the parlour [w=repine]repining[/w] at her fate in terms as unreasonable as her accent was [w]peevish[/w].[/en][cn]丽迪雅这时候是怎样欢天喜地,她对于弗斯脱太太是怎样敬慕,班纳特太太又是怎样高兴,吉蒂又是怎样难受,这些自然不在话下。在屋子里跳来蹦去,叫大家都来祝贺她,大笑大叫,比往常闹得越发厉害;倒运的吉蒂却只能继续在小客厅里怨天尤命,怪三怪四。[/cn] [en]"I cannot see why Mrs. Forster should not ask me as well as Lydia," said she, "though I am not her particular friend. I have just as much right to be asked as she has, and more too, for I am two years older."[/en][cn]“我不明白弗斯脱太太为什么不

见了他,于是他陪着小姐们上她们姨妈家里去,他在那儿把他的歉意,他的烦恼,以及他对于每个人的关注,谈了个畅快。不过他却在伊丽莎白面前自动说明,那次舞会是他自己不愿意去参加。[/cn] [en]"I found," said he, "as the time drew near, that I had better not meet Mr. Darcy; -- that to be in the same room, the same party with him for so many hours together, might be more than I could bear, and that scenes might arise unpleasant to more than myself."[/en][cn]他说:“当时日期一天天迫近,我心里想,还是不要碰见达西先生的好;我觉得要同他在同一间屋子里,在同一个舞会上,待上好几个钟头,那会叫我受不了,而且可能会闹出些笑话来,弄得彼此都不开心。”[/cn] [en]She highly approved his [w]forbearance[/w], and they had leisure for a full discussion of it, and for all the [w]commendation[/w] which they civilly bestowed on each other, as Wickham and another officer walked back with them to Longbourn, and during the walk he particularly attended to her. His accompanying them was a double advantage; she felt all the compliment it offered to herself, and it was most acceptable as an occasion of introducing him to her father and mother.[/en][cn]她非常赞美他的涵养功夫。当韦翰和另一位军官跟
