"I never saw a more promising inclination. He was growing quite inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her. Every time they met, it was more decided and remarkable. At his own ball he offended two or three young ladies by not asking them to dance, and I spoke to him twice myself without receiving an answer. Could there be finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"
“我從來沒有看見過象他那樣的一往情深;他越來越不去理會別人,把整個的心都放在她身上。他們倆每見一次面,事情就愈顯得明朗,愈顯得露骨。在他自己所開的一次跳舞會上,他得罪了兩三位年輕的小姐,沒有邀請她們跳舞;我找他說過兩次話,他也沒有理我。這還不能算是盡心盡意嗎?寧可為了一個人而得罪大家,這難道不是戀愛場上最可貴的地方?”

"Oh, yes! -- of that kind of love which I suppose him to have felt. Poor Jane! I am sorry for her, because, with her disposition, she may not get over it immediately. It had better have happened to you, Lizzy; you would have laughed yourself out of it sooner. But do you think she would be prevailed on to go back with us? Change of scene might be of service -- and perhaps a little relief from home, may be as useful as anything."
“噢,原來如此!這樣看來,他的確對她情深意切。可憐的吉英!我真替她難受,照她的性子看來,決不會一下子就把這件事情淡忘。麗萃,要是換了你,倒要好些,你自會一笑置之,要不了多少時候就會淡忘。不過,你看我們能不能勸她到我們那里去稍往一陣?換換環(huán)境也許會有好處;再說,離開了家,松口氣,也許比什么都好?!?/div>

Elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal, and felt persuaded of her sister's ready acquiescence.
伊麗莎白非常贊成這個建議,而且相信姐姐也會贊成。

"I hope," added Mrs. Gardiner, "that no consideration with regard to this young man will influence her. We live in so different a part of town, all our connections are so different, and, as you well know, we go out so little, that it is very improbable they should meet at all, unless he really comes to see her."
嘉丁納太太又說:“我希望她不要因為怕見到這位青年小伙子而拿不定主意。我們雖然和彬格萊先生同住在一個城里,可不住在同一個地區(qū),來往的親友也不一樣,而且,你知道得很清楚,我們很少外出,因此,除非他上門來看她,他們倆就不大可能見到面。”

"And that is quite impossible; for he is now in the custody of his friend, and Mr. Darcy would no more suffer him to call on Jane in such a part of London -- ! My dear aunt, how could you think of it? Mr. Darcy may perhaps have heard of such a place as Gracechurch Street, but he would hardly think a month's ablution enough to cleanse him from its impurities, were he once to enter it; and depend upon it, Mr. Bingley never stirs without him."
“那是絕對不可能的,因為他現(xiàn)在被朋友們軟禁著,達西先生也不能容忍他到倫敦的這樣一個地區(qū)去看吉英!親愛的舅母,你怎么會想到這上面去了?達西先生也許聽到過天恩寺街這樣一個地方,可是,如果他當真到那兒去一次,他會覺得花上一個月的工夫也洗不凈他身上所染來的污垢;請你放心好了,他絕不會讓彬格萊先生單獨行動。”

"So much the better. I hope they will not meet at all. But does not Jane correspond with the sister? She will not be able to help calling."
“那就更好。我希望他們倆再也不要見面。可是吉英不還在跟他妹妹通信嗎?彬格萊小姐也許難免要來拜望呢?!?/div>

"She will drop the acquaintance entirely."
“她絕不會跟她再來往了。”

But in spite of the certainty in which Elizabeth affected to place this point, as well as the still more interesting one of Bingley's being withheld from seeing Jane, she felt a solicitude on the subject which convinced her, on examination, that she did not consider it entirely hopeless. It was possible, and sometimes she thought it probable, that his affection might be re-animated, and the influence of his friends successfully combated by the more natural influence of Jane's attractions.
伊麗莎白雖然嘴上說得這么果斷,認為彬格萊先生一定被他的姐妹朋友挾住了,不會讓他見到吉英,這事情實在可笑,可是她心里想來想去,還是覺得事情未必已經(jīng)完全絕望。她有時候甚至認為彬格萊先生非??赡軐⑴f情重燃,他朋友們的影響也許敵不過吉英的感情所加給他身上的天然影響。

Miss Bennet accepted her aunt's invitation with pleasure; and the Bingleys were no otherwise in her thoughts at the time, than as she hoped that, by Caroline's not living in the same house with her brother, she might occasionally spend a morning with her, without any danger of seeing him.
班納特小姐樂意地接受了舅母的邀請,她心里并沒有怎么想到彬格萊一家人,只希望珈羅琳不和他哥哥同住一宅,那么她就可以偶而到珈羅琳那兒去玩上一個上午,而不至于撞見他哥哥。

The Gardiners staid a week at Longbourn; and what with the Philipses, the Lucases, and the officers, there was not a day without its engagement. Mrs. Bennet had so carefully provided for the entertainment of her brother and sister, that they did not once sit down to a family dinner. When the engagement was for home, some of the officers always made part of it, of which officers Mr. Wickham was sure to be one; and on these occasions, Mrs. Gardiner, rendered suspicious by Elizabeth's warm commendation of him, narrowly observed them both. Without supposing them, from what she saw, to be very seriously in love, their preference of each other was plain enough to make her a little uneasy; and she resolved to speak to Elizabeth on the subject before she left Hertfordshire, and represent to her the imprudence of encouraging such an attachment.
嘉丁納夫婦在浪搏恩待了一個星期,沒有哪一天不赴宴會,有時候在腓力普府上,有時候在盧卡斯府上,有時候又在軍官那兒。班納特太太小心周到地為她的弟弟和弟婦安排得十分熱鬧,以致他們夫婦不曾在她家里吃過一頓便飯。家里有宴會的日子,必定就有幾位軍官到場,每次總是少不了韋翰。在這種場合下,伊麗莎白總是熱烈地贊揚韋翰先生,使利嘉丁納太太起了疑心,仔細注意起他們兩人來,從她親眼看到的情形來說,她并不以為他們倆真正地愛上了,不過相互之間顯然已經(jīng)發(fā)生了好感,這叫她很是不安,她決定在離開哈??ひ郧?,要把這件事和伊麗莎白談個明白,并且要解釋給她聽,讓這樣的關系發(fā)展下去,實在太莽撞。

To Mrs. Gardiner, Wickham had one means of affording pleasure, unconnected with his general powers. About ten or a dozen years ago, before her marriage, she had spent a considerable time in that very part of Derbyshire to which he belonged. They had, therefore, many acquaintance in common; and, though Wickham had been little there since the death of Darcy's father, five years before, it was yet in his power to give her fresher intelligence of her former friends, than she had been in the way of procuring.
可是韋翰討好起嘉丁納太太來,另有一套辦法,這和他吸引別人的本領完全不同。遠在十多年以前嘉丁納太太還沒有結(jié)婚的時候,曾在德比郡他所出生的那個地區(qū)住過好些時候,因此她跟他有許多共同的朋友,雖說自從五年前達西先生的父親去世以后,韋翰就不大到那地方去,可是他卻能報道給嘉丁納太太一些有關她從前的朋友們的消息,比她自己打聽得來的還要新鮮。

Mrs. Gardiner had seen Pemberley, and known the late Mr. Darcy by character perfectly well. Here, consequently, was an inexhaustible subject of discourse. In comparing her recollection of Pemberley with the minute description which Wickham could give, and in bestowing her tribute of praise on the character of its late possessor, she was delighting both him and herself. On being made acquainted with the present Mr. Darcy's treatment of him, she tried to remember something of that gentleman's reputed disposition, when quite a lad, which might agree with it, and was confident at last that she recollected having heard Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy formerly spoken of as a very proud, ill-natured boy.
嘉丁納太太曾經(jīng)親眼看到過彭伯里,對于老達西先生也是久聞大名,光是這件事,就是個談不完的話題。她把韋翰先生所詳盡描寫的彭伯里和她自己記憶中的彭伯里比較了一下,又把彭伯里主人的德行稱贊了一番,談的人和聽的人都各得其樂。她聽到他談起現(xiàn)在這位達西先生對他的虧待,便竭力去回想那位先生小時候的個性如何,是否和現(xiàn)在相符,她終于有自信地記起了從前確實聽人說過,費茨威廉·達西先生是個脾氣很壞又很高傲的孩子。
