EVERY object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to Elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state for enjoyment; for she had seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health, and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight. When they left the high-road for the lane to Hunsford, every eye was in search of the Parsonage, and every turning expected to bring it in view. The palings of Rosings Park was their boundary on one side. Elizabeth smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants.
第二天旅途上的每一樣事物，伊麗莎白都感到新鮮有趣；她精神很愉快，因?yàn)榭吹浇憬銡馍敲春?，可以不用再為她的健康?dān)心，加上一想到去北方的旅行，她就越發(fā)高興。當(dāng)他們離開(kāi)了大路，走上一條通往漢斯福的小徑時(shí)，每一只眼睛都在尋找著那幢牧師住宅；每拐一個(gè)彎，都以為就要看到那幢房子。他們沿著羅新斯花園的柵欄往前走。伊麗莎白一想到外界所傳聞的那家人家和種種情形，不禁好笑。

At length the Parsonage was discernable. The garden sloping to the road, the house standing in it, the green pales and the laurel hedge, everything declared that they were arriving. Mr. Collins and Charlotte appeared at the door, and the carriage stopped at a small gate, which led by a short gravel walk to the house, amidst the nods and smiles of the whole party. In a moment they were all out of the chaise, rejoicing at the sight of each other. Mrs. Collins welcomed her friend with the liveliest pleasure, and Elizabeth was more and more satisfied with coming, when she found herself so affectionately received. She saw instantly that her cousin's manners were not altered by his marriage; his formal civility was just what it had been, and he detained her some minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his enquiries after all her family. They were then, with no other delay than his pointing out the neatness of the entrance, taken into the house; and as soon as they were in the parlour, he welcomed them a second time with ostentatious formality to his humble abode, and punctually repeated all his wife's offers of refreshment.
終于看到那幢牧師住宅了。大路斜對(duì)面的花園、花園里的房子、綠的柵欄、以及桂樹(shù)圍籬───每一樣?xùn)|西好象都在宣布他們的來(lái)到?？铝炙瓜壬拖木G蒂走到門口來(lái)了。在賓主頻頻點(diǎn)頭脈脈微笑中，客人們?cè)谝坏佬￠T跟前停下了車，從這里穿過(guò)一條短短的鵝卵石鋪道，便能直達(dá)正屋。一剎眼工夫，他們都下了車，賓主相見(jiàn)，無(wú)限歡欣?？铝炙购?jiǎn)直手舞足蹈地歡迎自己的朋友，伊麗莎白受到這么親切的歡迎，就越發(fā)滿意于這次的作客了。她立刻看到她表兄并沒(méi)有因?yàn)榻Y(jié)了婚而改變態(tài)度，他還是完全和以往一樣地拘泥禮節(jié)，在門口耽擱了她好幾分鐘，問(wèn)候她全家大小的起居安好。聽(tīng)到她一一回答了之后，他才滿意。于是他就沒(méi)有再耽擱他們，只指給他們看看門口是多么整潔，便把客人們帶進(jìn)了屋子；等到客人一走進(jìn)客廳，他又對(duì)他們作了第二次的歡迎，極其客氣地說(shuō)，這次承蒙諸位光臨寒舍，真是不勝榮幸，并且刻不容緩地把他太太送上來(lái)的點(diǎn)心重新奉獻(xiàn)了一次。

Elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory; and she could not help fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room, its aspect and its furniture, he addressed himself particularly to her, as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him. But though every thing seemed neat and comfortable, she was not able to gratify him by any sigh of repentance; and rather looked with wonder at her friend that she could have so cheerful an air, with such a companion. When Mr. Collins said any thing of which his wife might reasonably be ashamed, which certainly was not unseldom, she involuntarily turned her eye on Charlotte. Once or twice she could discern a faint blush; but in general Charlotte wisely did not hear. After sitting long enough to admire every article of furniture in the room, from the sideboard to the fender, to give an account of their journey, and of all that had happened in London, Mr. Collins invited them to take a stroll in the garden, which was large and well laid out, and to the cultivation of which he attended himself. To work in his garden was one of his most respectable pleasures; and Elizabeth admired the command of countenance with which Charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the excercise, and owned she encouraged it as much as possible. Here, leading the way through every walk and cross walk, and scarcely allowing them an interval to utter the praises he asked for, every view was pointed out with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind. He could number the fields in every direction, and could tell how many trees there were in the most distant clump. But of all the views which his garden, or which the country, or the kingdom could boast, none were to be compared with the prospect of Rosings, afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered the park nearly opposite the front of his house. It was a handsome modern building, well situated on rising ground.
伊麗莎白早就料到他會(huì)那樣得意非凡，因此當(dāng)他夸耀那屋子的優(yōu)美結(jié)構(gòu)、式樣、以及一切陳設(shè)的時(shí)候，她禁不住想到他是特地講給她聽(tīng)的，好象要叫她明白，她當(dāng)初拒絕了他，是多么大的一個(gè)損失。雖說(shuō)樣樣?xùn)|西的確都那么整潔和舒適，她可千萬(wàn)不能流露出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)后悔的痕跡來(lái)叫他得意；她甚至帶著詫異的目光看看夏綠蒂，她弄不明白夏綠蒂和這樣的一位伴侶相處，為什么還會(huì)那么高興?？铝炙瓜壬袝r(shí)竟會(huì)說(shuō)些很不得體的話，叫他自己的太太聽(tīng)了也不免難為情，而且這類話又說(shuō)得并不太少，每逢這種場(chǎng)合，伊麗莎白就不由自主地要向夏綠蒂望一眼。夏綠蒂有一兩次被她看得微微臉紅了，不過(guò)一般總是很聰明地裝作沒(méi)有聽(tīng)見(jiàn)。大家在屋里坐了好一會(huì)兒，欣賞著每一件家具，從食器櫥一直欣賞到壁爐架，又談了談一路上的情況以及倫敦的一切情形，然后柯林斯先生就請(qǐng)他們到花園里去散散步?；▓@很大，布置得也很好，一切都是由他親手料理的。他的最高尚的娛樂(lè)就是收拾花園。夏綠蒂說(shuō)，這種操作有益于健康，她盡可能鼓勵(lì)他這樣做；她講起這件事的時(shí)候，非常鎮(zhèn)定自若，真叫伊麗莎白佩服。他領(lǐng)著他們走遍了花園里的曲徑小道，看遍了每一處景物，每看一處都得瑣瑣碎碎地講一陣，美不美倒完全不在他心上，看的人即使想要贊美幾句也插不上嘴。他數(shù)得出每一個(gè)方向有多少田園，連最遠(yuǎn)的樹(shù)叢里有多少棵樹(shù)他也講得出來(lái)，可是，不論是他自己花園里的景物也好，或者是這整個(gè)鄉(xiāng)村甚至全國(guó)的名勝古跡也好，都萬(wàn)萬(wàn)比不上羅新斯花園的景色。羅新斯花園差不多就在他住宅的正對(duì)面，四面是樹(shù)，從樹(shù)林的空隙處可以望見(jiàn)里面。那是一幢漂亮的現(xiàn)代建筑，聳立在一片高地上。

From his garden, Mr. Collins would have led them round his two meadows, but the ladies, not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white frost, turned back; and while Sir William accompanied him, Charlotte took her sister and friend over the house, extremely well pleased, probably, to have the opportunity of shewing it without her husband's help. It was rather small, but well built and convenient; and everything was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which Elizabeth gave Charlotte all the credit. When Mr. Collins could be forgotten, there was really a great air of comfort throughout, and by Charlotte's evident enjoyment of it, Elizabeth supposed he must be often forgotten.
柯林斯先生本來(lái)想把他們從花園里帶去看看兩塊草地，但是太太小姐們的鞋子抵擋不住那殘余的白霜，于是全都走回去了，只剩下威廉爵士陪伴著他。夏綠蒂陪著自己的妹妹和朋友參觀住宅，這一下她能夠撇開(kāi)丈夫的幫忙，有機(jī)會(huì)讓她自己顯顯身手，真是高興極了。房子很小，但是建筑結(jié)實(shí)，使用也很方便；一切都布置得很精巧，安排得很調(diào)和，伊麗莎白對(duì)夏綠蒂夸獎(jiǎng)備至。只要不想起柯林斯先生，便真正有了一種非常美好的氣氛。伊麗莎白看見(jiàn)夏綠蒂那樣得意，便不由得想到她平常一定不把柯林斯先生放在心上。
