"Only think of its being three months," she cried, "since I went away; it seems but a fortnight I declare; and yet there have been things enough happened in the time. Good gracious! when I went away, I am sure I had no more idea of being married till I came back again! though I thought it would be very good fun if I was."
只听得丽迪雅大声说道:“且想想看,我已经走了三个月了!好象还只有两个星期呢;可是时间虽短,却发生了多少事情。天啊!我走的时候,的确想也没想到这次要结了婚再回来,不过我也想到:如果真就这样结了婚,倒也挺有趣的。”

Her father lifted up his eyes. Jane was distressed. Elizabeth looked expressively at Lydia; but she, who never heard nor saw any thing of which she chose to be insensible, gaily continued, "Oh! mamma, do the people here abouts know I am married today? I was afraid they might not; and we overtook William Goulding in his curricle, so I was determined he should know it, and so I let down the side-glass next to him, and took off my glove, and let my hand just rest upon the window frame, so that he might see the ring, and then I bowed and smiled like any thing."
父亲瞪着眼睛。吉英很难受,伊丽莎白啼笑皆非地望着丽迪雅;可是丽迪雅,凡是她不愿意知道的事,她一概不闻不问,她仍然得意洋洋地说下去:“噢,妈妈,附近的人们都知道我今天结婚了吗?我怕他们还不见得都知道;我们一路来的时候,追上了威廉·戈丁的马车,这为了要让他知道我结婚了,便把我自己车子上的一扇玻璃窗放了下来,又脱下手套,把手放在窗口,好让他看见我手上的戒指,然后我又对他点点头笑得什么似的。”

Elizabeth could bear it no longer. She got up, and ran out of the room; and returned no more, till she heard them passing through the hall to the dining parlour. She then joined them soon enough to see Lydia, with anxious parade, walk up to her mother's right hand, and hear her say to her eldest sister, "Ah! Jane, I take your place now, and you must go lower, because I am a married woman."
伊丽莎白实在忍无可忍了,只得站起身来跑回屋外去,一直听到她们走过穿堂,进入饭厅,她才回来。来到她们这里,又见丽迪雅急急匆匆大摇大摆走到母亲右边,一面对她的大姐姐说:“喂,吉英,这次我要坐你的位子了,你得坐到下手去,因为我已经是出了嫁的姑娘。”

It was not to be supposed that time would give Lydia that embarrassment from which she had been so wholly free at first. Her ease and good spirits increased. She longed to see Mrs. Phillips, the Lucases, and all their other neighbours, and to hear herself called "Mrs. Wickham" by each of them; and in the mean time, she went after dinner to shew her ring, and boast of being married, to Mrs. Hill and the two housemaids.
丽迪雅既然从开头起就完全不觉得难为情,这时候当然更是若无其事。她反而越来越不在乎,越来兴头越高。她很想去看看腓力普太太,看看卢卡斯全家人,还要把所有的邻居都统统拜访一遍,让大家都叫她韦翰太太。吃过中饭,她立刻把结婚戒指显给希尔奶奶和其他两个女佣人看,夸耀她自己已经结了婚。

"Well, mamma," said she, when they were all returned to the breakfast room, "and what do you think of my husband? Is not he a charming man? I am sure my sisters must all envy me. I only hope they may have half my good luck. They must all go to Brighton. That is the place to get husbands. What a pity it is, mamma, we did not all go."
大家都回到起坐间以后,她又说道:“妈妈,你觉得我丈夫怎么样?他不是挺可爱吗?姐姐们一定都要羡慕我。但愿她们有我一半运气就好啦。谁叫她们不到白利屯去。那里才是个找丈夫的地方。真可惜,妈妈,我们没有大家一起去!”

"Very true; and if I had my will, we should. But my dear Lydia, I don't at all like your going such a way off. Must it be so?"
“你讲得真对;要是照我的意见,我们早就应该一起都去。可是,丽迪雅宝贝儿,我不愿意你到那么远的地方去。你难道非去不可吗?”

"Oh, lord! yes; -- there is nothing in that. I shall like it of all things. You and papa, and my sisters, must come down and see us. We shall be at Newcastle all the winter, and I dare say there will be some balls, and I will take care to get good partners for them all."
“天啊!当然非去不可,那有什么关系。我真高兴极了。你和爸爸,还有姐姐们,一定要来看我们呀。我们整个冬天都住在纽卡斯尔,那儿一定会有很多舞会,而且我一定负责给姐姐们找到很好舞伴。”

"I should like it beyond any thing!" said her mother.
“那我真是再喜欢也没有了!”母亲说。

"And then when you go away, you may leave one or two of my sisters behind you; and I dare say I shall get husbands for them before the winter is over."
“等你动身回家的时候,你可以让一两个姐姐留在那儿;我担保在今年冬天以内就会替她们找到丈夫。”

"I thank you for my share of the favour," said Elizabeth; "but I do not particularly like your way of getting husbands."
伊丽莎白连忙说:“谢谢你的关怀,可惜你这种找丈夫的方式,我不太欣赏。”

Their visitors were not to remain above ten days with them. Mr. Wickham had received his commission before he left London, and he was to join his regiment at the end of a fortnight.
新夫妇只能和家里相聚十天。韦翰先生在没有离开伦敦之前就已经受到了委任,必须在两星期以内就到团部去报到。

No one but Mrs. Bennet regretted that their stay would be so short; and she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter, and having very frequent parties at home. These parties were acceptable to all; to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did think, than such as did not.
只有班纳特太太一个人惋惜他们行期太匆促,因此她尽量抓紧时间,陪着女儿到处走亲访友,又常常在家里宴客。这些宴会大家都欢迎:没有心思的人固然愿意赴宴,有心思的人更愿意借这个机会出去解解闷。
