Wickham, Lydia, were all forgotten. Jane was beyond competition her favourite child. At that moment, she cared for no other. Her younger sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness which she might in future be able to dispense.
她早把韦翰和丽迪雅忘了。吉英原是她最宠爱的女儿,现在更是谁也不在她心上了。妹妹们马上都簇拥着吉英,要她答应将来给她们多少好处。

Mary petitioned for the use of the library at Netherfield; and Kitty begged very hard for a few balls there every winter.
曼丽请求使用尼日斐花园的藏书室,吉蒂硬要她每年冬天在那儿开几次跳舞会。

Bingley, from this time, was of course a daily visitor at Longbourn; coming frequently before breakfast, and always remaining till after supper; unless when some barbarous neighbour, who could not be enough detested, had given him an invitation to dinner which he thought himself obliged to accept.
从此以后,彬格莱自然就成了浪搏恩家每天必来的客人。他总是早饭也没吃就赶来,一直要待到吃过晚饭才走───除非有哪一家不识大体、不怕人讨厌的邻居,再三请他吃饭,他才不得不去应酬一下。

Elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister; for while he was present, Jane had no attention to bestow on any one else; but she found herself considerably useful to both of them in those hours of separation that must sometimes occur. In the absence of Jane, he always attached himself to Elizabeth, for the pleasure of talking of her; and when Bingley was gone, Jane constantly sought the same means of relief.
伊丽莎白简直没有机会跟她姐姐谈话,因为只要彬格莱一来,吉英的心就想不到别人身上去。不过他们俩总还是有时候不得不分开一下。吉英不在的时候,彬格莱老爱跟伊丽莎白谈话;彬格莱回家去了,吉英也总是找她一块儿来消遗,因此她对于他们俩还是大有用处。

"He has made me so happy," said she, one evening, "by telling me that he was totally ignorant of my being in town last spring! I had not believed it possible."
有一个晚上,吉英对她说:“他说今年春天完全不知道我也在城里,这话叫我听了真高兴。我以前的确不相信会有这种事。”

"I suspected as much," replied Elizabeth. "But how did he account for it?"
伊丽莎白答道:“我以前也疑心到这一点,他有没有说明是什么缘故?”

"It must have been his sister's doing. They were certainly no friends to his acquaintance with me, which I cannot wonder at, since he might have chosen so much more advantageously in many respects. But when they see, as I trust they will, that their brother is happy with me, they will learn to be contented, and we shall be on good terms again; though we can never be what we once were to each other."
“那一定是他的姐妹们布置好了的,她们当然不赞成他和我要好,我也不奇怪,因为他大可以选中一个样样都比我强的人。可是,我相信她们总有一天会明白,她们的兄弟跟我在一起是多么幸福,那时候她们一定又会慢慢地回心转意,跟我恢复原来的交情,不过决不可能象从前那样知已了。”

"That is the most unforgiving speech," said Elizabeth, "that I ever heard you utter. Good girl! It would vex me, indeed, to see you again the dupe of Miss Bingley's pretended regard."
“我生平只听到你讲一句气量小的话。你真是个好心的姑娘!老实说,要是又看到你去受那假仁假义的彬格莱小姐的骗,那可真要气死我了!”

"Would you believe it, Lizzy, that when he went to town last November, he really loved me, and nothing but a persuasion of my being indifferent would have prevented his coming down again!"
“丽萃,我希望你相信,他去年十一月里到城里去的时候,的确很爱我,他要不是信了别人的话,以为我真的不爱他,那他无论如何早就回来了!”

"He made a little mistake to be sure; but it is to the credit of his modesty."
“他实在也有些不是,不过那都是因为他太谦虚。”

This naturally introduced a panegyric from Jane on his diffidence, and the little value he put on his own good qualities. Elizabeth was pleased to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend; for, though Jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world, she knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him.
吉英听了这话,自然又赞美起他的虚心来,赞美他虽然具有了许多优美的品质,可并不自以为了不起。伊丽莎白高兴的是,彬格莱并没有把他朋友阻挡这件事的经过泄露出来,因为吉英虽然宽宏大量,不记仇隙,可是这件事如果让她知道了,她一定会对达西有成见。

"I am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!" cried Jane. "Oh! Lizzy, why am I thus singled from my family, and blessed above them all! If I could but see you as happy! If there were but such another man for you!"
吉英又大声说道:“我的确是古往今来最幸福的一个人!哦,丽萃,家里这么多人,怎么偏偏是我最幸福?但愿你也会同样的幸福!但愿你也能找到这样一个人!”

"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time."
“你即使给我几十个这样的人,我也决不会象你这样幸福。除非我脾气也象你这样好,人也象你这样好,我是无论如何也不会象你这样幸福的。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。”

The situation of affairs in the Longbourn family could not be long a secret. Mrs. Bennet was privileged to whisper it to Mrs. Philips, and she ventured, without any permission, to do the same by all her neighbours in Meryton. The Bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the world, though only a few weeks before, when Lydia had first run away, they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune.
浪搏恩这家人家的事瞒也瞒不了多久。先是班纳特太太得到了特许,偷偷地讲给了腓力普太太听,腓力普太太没有得到任何人的许可,就大胆地把它传遍了麦里屯的街坊四邻。记得就在几星期以前,丽迪雅刚刚私奔,那时大家都认为班纳特府上倒尽了霉,如今这样一来,班家竟在顷刻之间成了天下最有福气的一家人家了。
