In a few minutes she was joined by Bingley, whose conference with her father had been short and to the purpose.
沒過幾分鐘，彬格萊就到她這兒來了，因?yàn)樗赣H談得很簡捷扼要。

"Where is your sister?" said he hastily, as he opened the door.
他一打開門，便連忙問道：“你姐姐在哪兒？”

"With my mother up stairs. She will be down in a moment, I dare say."
“在樓上我媽那兒，馬上就會(huì)下來?！?/div>

He then shut the door, and, coming up to her, claimed the good wishes and affection of a sister. Elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed her delight in the prospect of their relationship. They shook hands with great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of Jane's perfections; and in spite of his being a lover, Elizabeth really believed all his expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and himself.
他于是關(guān)上了門，走到她跟前，讓她親切地祝賀姐夫。伊麗莎白真心誠意地說，她為他們倆未來的美滿姻緣感到欣喜。兩人親切地握了握手。她只聽得他講他自己的幸福，講吉英的十全十美，一直講到吉英下樓為止。雖然這些話是出于一個(gè)情人之口，可是她深信他那幸福的愿望一定可以實(shí)現(xiàn)，因?yàn)榧⒔^頂聰明，脾氣更是好得不能再好，這便是幸福的基礎(chǔ)，而且他們彼此的性格和趣味也十分相近。

It was an evening of no common delight to them all; the satisfaction of Miss Bennet's mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face, as made her look handsomer than ever. Kitty simpered and smiled, and hoped her turn was coming soon. Mrs. Bennet could not give her consent or speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings, though she talked to Bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when Mr. Bennet joined them at supper, his voice and manner plainly shewed how really happy he was.
這一晚大家都非常高興，班納特小姐因?yàn)樾睦锏靡?，臉上也顯得鮮艷嬌美，光彩煥發(fā)，比平常更加漂亮。吉蒂笑笑忍忍，忍忍笑笑，一心只希望這樣的幸運(yùn)趕快輪到自己頭上。班納特太太同彬格萊足足談了半個(gè)鐘頭之久，她滿口嘉許，極端贊美，可總覺得不能夠把滿腔的熱情充分表達(dá)出來；班納特先生跟大家一塊兒吃晚飯的時(shí)候，但看他的談吐舉止，便可以看出他也快活到極點(diǎn)。

Not a word, however, passed his lips in allusion to it, till their visitor took his leave for the night; but as soon as he was gone, he turned to his daughter, and said, "Jane, I congratulate you. You will be a very happy woman."
不過他當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)這件事卻一字不提，等到貴客一走，他又連忙轉(zhuǎn)過身來對(duì)大女兒說：“吉英，我恭喜你。你可成了一個(gè)極幸福的姑娘啦?！?/div>

Jane went to him instantly, kissed him, and thanked him for his goodness.
吉英立刻走上前去吻他，多謝他的好意。

"You are a good girl;" he replied, "and I have great pleasure in thinking you will be so happily settled. I have not a doubt of your doing very well together. Your tempers are by no means unlike. You are each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will always exceed your income."
他說：“你是個(gè)好孩子；想到你這樣幸福地解決了終身大事，我真高興。我相信你們一定能夠和好相處。你們的性格很相近。你們遇事都肯遷就，結(jié)果會(huì)弄得樣樣事都拿不定主張，你們那么好講話，結(jié)果會(huì)弄得個(gè)個(gè)傭人都欺負(fù)你們；你們都那么慷慨，到頭來一定會(huì)入不敷出?！?/div>

"I hope not so. Imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be unpardonable in me."
“但愿不會(huì)如此。我要是在銀錢問題上粗心大意，那是不可原諒的?！?/div>

"Exceed their income! My dear Mr. Bennet," cried his wife, "what are you talking of? Why, he has four or five thousand a year, and very likely more." Then addressing her daughter, "Oh! my dear, dear Jane, I am so happy! I am sure I shan't get a wink of sleep all night. I knew how it would be. I always said it must be so, at last. I was sure you could not be so beautiful for nothing! I remember, as soon as ever I saw him, when he first came into Hertfordshire last year, I thought how likely it was that you should come together. Oh! he is the handsomest young man that ever was seen!"
他的太太叫道：“入不敷出！我的好老爺，你這是什么話？他每年有四五千鎊收入，可能還不止呢?！彼謱?duì)大女兒說：“我的好吉英親吉英，我太高興了！我今天晚上休想睡得著覺。我早就知道會(huì)這樣，我平常老是說，總有一天會(huì)這樣。我一向認(rèn)為你不會(huì)白白地生得這樣好看。他去年初到哈福德郡的時(shí)候，我一看到他，就覺得你們兩人一定會(huì)成雙配對(duì)。天哪！我一輩子也沒有見過象他這樣漂亮的男人！”
