"Let me first see how he behaves," said she; "it will then be early enough for expectation."
她想:“让我先看看他的举止行动如何,然后再存指望还不迟。”

She sat intently at work, striving to be composed, and without daring to lift up her eyes, till anxious curiosity carried them to the face of her sister as the servant was approaching the door. Jane looked a little paler than usual, but more sedate than Elizabeth had expected. On the gentlemen's appearing, her colour increased; yet she received them with tolerable ease, and with a propriety of behaviour equally free from any symptom of resentment or any unnecessary complaisance.
她坐在那儿专心做针线,竭力装得镇静,连眼睛也不抬起来一下,等到佣人走近房门,她才性急起来,抬起头来望望姐姐的脸色,见吉英比平常稍微苍白了一些,可是她的端庄持重,颇出伊丽莎白的意料。两位贵客到来的时候,她的脸涨红了;不过她还是从容不迫、落落大方地接待他们,既没有显露一丝半点怨恨的形迹,也并不做得过分殷勤。

Elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow, and sat down again to her work, with an eagerness which it did not often command. She had ventured only one glance at Darcy. He looked serious, as usual; and, she thought, more as he had been used to look in Hertfordshire, than as she had seen him at Pemberley. But, perhaps he could not in her mother's presence be what he was before her uncle and aunt. It was a painful, but not an improbable, conjecture.
伊丽莎白没有跟他们两人攀谈什么,只不过为了顾全礼貌,照例敷衍了几句,便重新坐下来做针线,而且做得特别起劲。她只是大胆地瞟了达西睛眼,只见他神色象往常一样严肃,不象在彭伯里时的那副神气,而是象他在哈福德郡时的那副神气。这也许是因为他在她母亲面前,不能象在她舅父母面前那样不拘礼节。她这种揣测固然是煞费苦心,但也未必不近情理。

Bingley, she had likewise seen for an instant, and in that short period saw him looking both pleased and embarrassed. He was received by Mrs. Bennet with a degree of civility which made her two daughters ashamed, especially when contrasted with the cold and ceremonious politeness of her curtsey and address to his friend.
她也望了彬格莱一眼,立即就看出他又是高兴,又是忸怩不安。班纳特太太待他那样礼貌周到,而对他那位朋友,却是勉强敷衍,十分冷淡,相比之下,使他两个女儿觉得很是过意不去。

Elizabeth, particularly, who knew that her mother owed to the latter the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy, was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill applied.
其实她母亲对待这两位贵客完全是轻重倒置,因为她心爱的一个女儿多亏了达西先生的搭救,才能免于身败名裂,伊丽莎白对这事的经过知道得极其详细,所以特别觉得难受。

Darcy, after enquiring of her how Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner did, a question which she could not answer without confusion, said scarcely any thing. He was not seated by her; perhaps that was the reason of his silence; but it had not been so in Derbyshire. There he had talked to her friends, when he could not to herself. But now several minutes elapsed without bringing the sound of his voice; and when occasionally, unable to resist the impulse of curiosity, she raised he eyes to his face, she as often found him looking at Jane as at herself, and frequently on no object but the ground. More thoughtfulness and less anxiety to please, than when they last met, were plainly expressed. She was disappointed, and angry with herself for being so.
达西向伊丽莎白问起了嘉丁纳夫妇,伊丽莎白回答起来不免有些慌张。以后达西便没有再说什么。他所以沉默寡言,也许是因为他没有坐在她身边的缘故,不过上次在德比郡,他却不是这样。记得上次他每逢不便跟她自己说话的时候,就跟她细父母说话,可是这一次,却接连好几分钟不听见他开口。她再也抑制不住好奇心了,便抬起头来望望他的脸,只见他不时地看着吉英和她自己,大部分时间又总是对着地面发呆。可见得这一次比起他们俩上次见面的时候,他心思比较重,却不象上次那样急于搏得人家的好感。她感到失望,同时又怪自己不应该失望。

"Could I expect it to be otherwise!" said she. "Yet why did he come?"
她想:“怎么料得到他竟是这样?那他何必要来?”

She was in no humour for conversation with any one but himself; and to him she had hardly courage to speak.
除了他以外,她没有兴致跟别人谈话,可是她又没有勇气向他开口。

She enquired after his sister, but could do no more.
她向他问候他的妹妹,问过以后,又是无话可说。

"It is a long time, Mr. Bingley, since you went away," said Mrs. Bennet.
只听得班纳特太太说:“彬格莱先生,你走了好久啦。”

He readily agreed to it.
彬格莱先生连忙说,的确有好久了。
 

"I began to be afraid you would never come back again. People did say you meant to quit the place entirely at Michaelmas; but, however, I hope it is not true. A great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood, since you went away. Miss Lucas is married and settled. And one of my own daughters. I suppose you have heard of it; indeed, you must have seen it in the papers. It was in the Times and the Courier, I know; though it was not put in as it ought to be. It was only said, "Lately, George Wickham, Esq. to Miss Lydia Bennet," without there being a syllable said of her father, or the place where she lived, or any thing. It was my brother Gardiner's drawing up too, and I wonder how he came to make such an awkward business of it. Did you see it?"
“我开头还担心你一去不回。人们都说,你打算一到米迦勒节,就把房子退租,我但愿不会如此。自从你走了以后,这带发生了好多事情。卢卡斯小姐结婚了,有了归宿了,我自己一个女儿也出了嫁。我想你已经听到过这件事,你一定在报纸上看到了吧。我知道《泰晤士报》和《快报》上都有消息,不过写得不成体统。那上面只说:‘乔治·韦翰先生将于最近与班纳特小姐结婚,’关于她的父亲,她住的地方,以及诸如此类的事,一个也没有提到。这是我弟弟嘉丁纳拟的稿,我不懂他怎么会做得这样糟糕。你看到了吗?”
