《傲慢與偏見》內容簡介：

小說講述了Bennet一家五位千金的婚姻與愛情，表達了婚姻必須建立在愛情和經(jīng)濟兩個基礎上的婚姻觀。傲慢而深情的達西先生成為小說塑造的一個經(jīng)典形象。簡奧斯丁的語言簡練而幽默，反復品味，趣味無窮。

翻譯例句："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."
“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?！?/div>
