Chapter 34
When they were gone, Elizabeth, as if intending 意欲 to exasperate 恶化 her‧self 她自己 as much as possible against Mr. Darcy, chose 挑选:choose for her employment 雇用 the examination 检查 of all the letters 信 which Jane had written write to her since her being 存在 in Kent. They contained 包含 no actual 真实的 complaint 抱怨, nor 也不 was there any revival 复兴 of past 过去的 occurrences 发生, or any communication 通讯 of present suffering 受痛苦. But in all, and in almost every line of each, there was a want of that cheerfulness which had been used to characterise her style 样式, and which, proceeding 继续 from the serenity of a mind at ease 轻松 with itself 本身 and kindly disposed 部署 towards every‧one 每人, had been scarcely 缺乏的 ever 永远；曾经 clouded 云. Elizabeth noticed 注意 every sentence 句子 conveying 传达 the idea 主意 of uneasiness, with an attention 注意 which it had hardly 几乎不 received 收到 on the first perusal. Mr. Darcy’s shameful 可耻 boast 自夸 of what misery 痛苦 he had been able 能够的 to inflict 造成, gave give her a keener 热切的 sense of her sister 姐妹’s sufferings 受痛苦. It was some consolation 安慰 to think that his visit 访问 to Rosings was to end on the day after the next—and, a still greater, that in less little than a fort‧night 两星期 she should her‧self 她自己 be with Jane again, and enabled 启用 to contribute 有助于 to the recovery 失而复得 of her spirits 精神, by all that affect‧ion 感情 could do.
She could not think of Darcy’s leaving Kent without remembering 记得 that his cousin 堂兄妹 was to go with him; but Colonel Fitzwilliam had made it clear that he had no intentions 意图 at all, and agree‧able 合适的 as he was, she did not mean to be unhappy 不快乐 about him.
While settling 解决；定居 this point, she was suddenly 突然；猛地，骤然 roused 唤醒 by the sound 声音 of the door 门-bell 钟, and her spirits 精神 were a little fluttered 扑 by the idea 主意 of its being 存在 Colonel Fitzwilliam him‧self 他自己, who had once before called late in the evening 傍晚, and might now come to inquire 打听 particularly 特别 after her. But this idea 主意 was soon 立刻 banished 放逐, and her spirits 精神 were very differently 不同的 affected 影响, when, to her utter 说出 amazement 惊愕, she saw see Mr. Darcy walk 走；步行同道 into the room. In an hurried 赶紧 manner 方式 he immediately 立即，马上 began begin an inquiry 调查 after her health 健康状况, imputing his visit 访问 to a wish 希望 of hearing that she were better well. She answered 答复 him with cold 寒冷的 civility. He sat 坐:sit down for a few moments 瞬间, and then getting up, walked 走；步行同道 about the room. Elizabeth was surprised 使惊奇, but said not a word. After a silence 沉默 of several minutes 分, he came towards her in an agitated 激荡 manner 方式, and thus 于是 began begin:
“In vain 徒劳的 I have struggled 挣扎；搏斗. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed 抑. You must allow 允许 me to tell you how ardently 热心 I admire 赞赏 and love 爱 you.”
Elizabeth’s astonishment 惊愕 was beyond 超过 expression 表现. She stared 盯着看，凝视，注视, coloured, doubted 怀疑, and was silent 沉默的. This he considered sufficient 足够 encouragement 鼓励; and the avowal of all that he felt feel, and had long felt feel for her, immediately 立即，马上 followed. He spoke 讲:speak well; but there were feelings besides 而且 those of the heart 心 to be detailed 详述; and he was not more many eloquent 雄辩 on the subject 主题 of tenderness 压痛 than of pride 自尊. His sense of her inferiority—of its being 存在 a degradation 降解—of the family obstacles 障碍 which had always opposed 反对 to inclination 倾角, were dwelt on with a warmth 温暖 which seemed due 由于 to the consequence 后果 he was wounding 创伤, but was very unlikely 不会 to recommend 推荐 his suit 一套外衣.
In spite 恶意 of her deeply 深深地；极其，非常-rooted 根 dislike 反感, she could not be insensible to the compliment 赞扬 of such a man’s affect‧ion 感情, and though her intentions 意图 did not vary 变化 for an instant 瞬间, she was at first sorry 对不起的 for the pain 痛苦 he was to receive 收到; till 到, roused 唤醒 to resentment 怨恨 by his subsequent 随后的，接着的 language 语言, she lost 失去的 all compassion 同情 in anger 生气. She tried, however, to compose 组成 her‧self 她自己 to answer 答复 him with patience 耐心, when he should have done. He concluded 得出结论 with representing 代表 to her the strength 力量 of that attachment 附件 which, in spite 恶意 of all his endeavours, he had found find impossible 不可能的 to conquer 征服; and with expressing 表达 his hope 希望 that it would now be rewarded 报酬 by her acceptance 验收 of his hand. As he said this, she could easily 轻易地 see that he had no doubt 怀疑 of a favourable answer 答复. He spoke 讲:speak of apprehension 顾虑 and anxiety 焦虑, but his countenance 面容 expressed 表达 real security 安全. Such a circumstance 环境 could only exasperate 恶化 farther far, and, when he ceased 停止, the colour rose 上升:rise into her cheeks 脸颊, and she said:
“In such cases as this, it is, I believe 信任, the established 建立 mode 方式 to express 表达 a sense of obligation 义务；责任；职责 for the sentiments 情绪 avowed, however unequally 不等 they may be returned 回转. It is natural 自然 that obligation should be felt feel, and if I could feel gratitude 感谢, I would now thank 谢谢 you. But I cannot—I have never desired 希望 your good opinion 意见, and you have certainly bestowed 赐给 it most many unwillingly 不甘. I am sorry 对不起的 to have occasioned 机会 pain 痛苦 to anyone 任何人. It has been most many unconsciously 不知不觉 done, however, and I hope 希望 will be of short 短的 duration 持续时间. The feelings which, you tell me, have long prevented 预防 the acknowledgment 承认 of your regard 认为, can have little difficulty 困难 in over‧come 战胜 it after this explanation 说明.”
Mr. Darcy, who was leaning 靠 against the mantelpiece with his eyes fixed 固定 on her face, seemed to catch 抓；赶上 her words with no less little resentment 怨恨 than surprise 使惊奇. His complex‧ion 肤色 became become pale 苍白的 with anger 生气, and the disturbance 骚乱 of his mind was visible 可以看见的；可视的 in every feature 特征. He was struggling 挣扎；搏斗 for the appearance 外貌 of composure, and would not open his lips 嘴唇 till 到 he believed 信任 him‧self 他自己 to have attained 达到 it. The pause 暂停 was to Elizabeth’s feelings dreadful 可怕. At length 长度, with a voice 嗓音 of forced calmness, he said:
“And this is all the reply 回答 which I am to have the honour of expecting! I might, perhaps 或许, wish 希望 to be informed 通知 why, with so little endeavour at civility, I am thus 于是 rejected 拒绝. But it is of small importance 重要性.”
“I might as well inquire 打听,” replied 回答 she, “why with so evident 明显 a desire 希望 of offending 触怒 and insulting 侮辱 me, you chose 挑选:choose to tell me that you liked me against your will, against your reason 理由, and even against your character 性格? Was not this some excuse 原谅 for incivility, if I was uncivil? But I have other provocations 挑衅. You know I have. Had not my feelings decided 决定 against you—had they been indifferent 冷漠, or had they even been favourable, do you think that any consideration 考虑 would tempt 引诱 me to accept 承认 the man who has been the means of ruining 破坏, perhaps 或许 for ever 永远；曾经, the happiness 幸福 of a most many beloved 心爱 sister 姐妹?”
As she pronounced 发音 these words, Mr. Darcy changed colour; but the emotion 情感 was short 短的, and he listened 倾听 without attempting 试图 to interrupt 打断 her while she continued:
“I have every reason 理由 in the world to think ill 生病 of you. No motive 动机 can excuse 原谅 the unjust 不公 and ungenerous part you acted there. You dare 敢 not, you cannot deny 拒绝, that you have been the principal 主要, if not the only means of dividing 分 them from each other—of exposing 暴露 one to the censure 谴责 of the world for cap‧rice 盖‧稻 and instability 不稳定, and the other to its derision for disappointed 使失望 hopes 希望, and involving 参与，包括 them both in misery 痛苦 of the acutest 急性 kind.”
She paused 暂停, and saw see with no slight 微小的 indignation 愤慨 that he was listening 倾听 with an air 天空 which proved 证明 him wholly 全 unmoved by any feeling of remorse 悔恨. He even looked at her with a smile 微笑 of affected 影响 incredulity.
“Can you deny 拒绝 that you have done it?” she repeated 重复.
With assumed 承担 tranquillity he then replied 回答: “I have no wish 希望 of denying 拒绝 that I did every‧thing 每件事物 in my power to separate 分开 my friend 朋友 from your sister 姐妹, or that I rejoice 欢庆 in my success 成功. Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself 我.”
Elizabeth disdained 蔑视 the appearance 外貌 of noticing 注意 this civil 国内 reflection 反映, but its meaning did not escape 逃脱, nor 也不 was it likely 可能的 to conciliate her.
“But it is not merely 仅仅，只，不过 this affair 事情,” she continued, “on which my dislike 反感 is founded. Long before it had taken place my opinion 意见 of you was decided 决定. Your character 性格 was unfolded 展开 in the recital 演奏会 which I received 收到 many months 月 ago 以前 from Mr. Wickham. On this subject 主题, what can you have to say? In what imaginary 想像中的 act of friend‧ship 友情 can you here defend 辩护 your‧self 你自己? or under what misrepresentation can you here impose 强加 upon others 别的?”
“You take an eager 渴望的 interest in that gentle‧man 先生’s concerns 关心；涉及,” said Darcy, in a less little tranquil 宁静 tone 音, and with a heightened 变高 colour.
“Who that knows what his misfortunes 不幸 have been, can help feeling an interest in him?”
“His misfortunes 不幸!” repeated 重复 Darcy contemptuously; “yes, his misfortunes 不幸 have been great indeed 的确.”
“And of your infliction,” cried 哭，叫喊 Elizabeth with energy 能源. “You have reduced 减少 him to his present state of poverty 贫穷—comparative 比较 poverty. You have withheld the advantages 有利条件 which you must know to have been designed 设计，计划 for him. You have deprived 剥夺 the best 最好 years of his life of that independence 独立 which was no less little his due 由于 than his desert 沙漠；抛弃. You have done all this! and yet you can treat 治疗；款待 the mention 提到 of his misfortune 不幸 with con‧tempt 鄙视 and ridicule 嘲笑.”
“And this,” cried 哭，叫喊 Darcy, as he walked 走；步行同道 with quick 快的 steps 步；走 across 穿过 the room, “is your opinion 意见 of me! This is the estimation 估计 in which you hold me! I thank 谢谢 you for explaining 讲解 it so fully 充分. My faults 缺点, according 协议 to this calculation 计算, are heavy 厚实；重的 indeed 的确! But perhaps 或许,” added 增加 he, stopping 停止 in his walk 走；步行同道, and turning towards her, “these offenses 进攻 might have been over‧look 俯瞰, had not your pride 自尊 been hurt 损害 by my honest 诚实的 confession 承认 of the scruples that had long prevented 预防 my forming any serious 严肃的 design 设计，计划. These bitter 苦的 accusations 指控 might have been sup‧press 压制, had I, with greater policy 政策，计划, concealed 隐藏 my struggles 挣扎；搏斗, and flattered 奉承 you into the belief 信 of my being 存在 impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination 倾角; by reason 理由, by reflection 反映, by every‧thing 每件事物. But disguise 伪装 of every sort 分类 is my abhorrence. Nor 也不 am I ashamed 惭愧的 of the feelings I related 相关. They were natural 自然 and just. Could you expect me to rejoice 欢庆 in the inferiority of your connections 连接?—to congratulate 祝贺 myself 我 on the hope 希望 of relations 关系, whose 谁的 condition 状态 in life is so decidedly 果断地 beneath 之下 my own?”
Elizabeth felt feel her‧self 她自己 growing 生长；种植 more many angry 生气的 every moment 瞬间; yet she tried to the utmost 极 to speak 讲 with composure when she said:
“You are mistaken 错误, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose 假定 that the mode 方式 of your declaration 宣言 affected 影响 me in any other way, than as it spared 节省；多余的；备用件 me the concern 关心；涉及 which I might have felt feel in refusing 拒绝 you, had you behaved 表现 in a more many gentleman‧like 先生‧喜欢；象 manner 方式.”
She saw see him start at this, but he said nothing, and she continued:
“You could not have made the offer 提供 of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted 引诱 me to accept 承认 it.”
Again his astonishment 惊愕 was obvious 明显; and he looked at her with an expression 表现 of mingled 交融 incredulity and mortification. She went on:
“From the very beginning—from the first moment 瞬间, I may almost say—of my acquaintance 熟人 with you, your manners 方式, impressing 给…留下深刻印象；使钦佩 me with the fullest 满的 belief 信 of your arrogance 傲慢, your conceit, and your selfish 自私的 disdain 蔑视 of the feelings of others 别的, were such as to form the ground‧work 地面‧工作 of disapprobation on which succeeding 成功 events 事件 have built build so immovable a dislike 反感; and I had not known know you a month 月 before I felt feel that you were the last man in the world whom 谁 I could ever 永远；曾经 be prevailed 战胜 on to marry 结婚.”
“You have said quite 相当 enough, madam 夫人. I perfectly 完美地，完满地 comprehend 理解 your feelings, and have now only to be ashamed 惭愧的 of what my own have been. Forgive 原谅 me for having taken up so much of your time, and accept 承认 my best 最好 wishes 希望 for your health 健康状况 and happiness 幸福.”
And with these words he hastily 草草 left 左边；留下；离开 the room, and Elizabeth heard hear him the next moment 瞬间 open the front 前面 door 门 and quit 放弃 the house.
The tumult of her mind, was now painfully 痛苦 great. She knew know not how to support 支持 her‧self 她自己, and from actual 真实的 weakness 弱点 sat 坐:sit down and cried 哭，叫喊 for half 一半的-an-hour 小时. Her astonishment 惊愕, as she reflected 反射 on what had passed 走过, was increased by every review 复习 of it. That she should receive 收到 an offer 提供 of marriage 结婚 from Mr. Darcy! That he should have been in love 爱 with her for so many months 月! So much in love as to wish 希望 to marry 结婚 her in spite 恶意 of all the objections 反对 which had made him prevent 预防 his friend 朋友’s marrying 结婚 her sister 姐妹, and which must appear 出现 at least 最小的 with equal 相等的 force in his own case—was almost incredible 难以置信! It was gratifying 取悦 to have inspired 激励，鼓舞 unconsciously 不知不觉 so strong 强的 an affect‧ion 感情. But his pride 自尊, his abominable pride—his shame‧less 羞愧‧少 avowal of what he had done with respect 尊重 to Jane—his unpardonable assurance 保证 in acknowledging 确认, though he could not justify 为…辩护；证明…正当；是…的正当理由 it, and the unfeeling manner 方式 in which he had mentioned 提到 Mr. Wickham, his cruelty 残酷 towards whom 谁 he had not attempted 试图 to deny 拒绝, soon 立刻 overcame the pity 怜悯 which the consideration 考虑 of his attachment 附件 had for a moment 瞬间 excited 使兴奋. She continued in very agitated 激荡 reflections 反映 till 到 the sound 声音 of Lady 女士 Catherine’s carriage 运输 made her feel how unequal 不等 she was to encounter 遭遇 Charlotte’s observation 意见, and hurried 赶紧 her away to her room.

Chapter 35
Elizabeth awoke 醒着的:awake the next morning 早晨 to the same thoughts and meditations 冥想 which had at length 长度 closed her eyes. She could not yet recover 恢复 from the surprise 使惊奇 of what had happened 发生; it was impossible 不可能的 to think of any‧thing 任何东西 else 其他; and, totally 彻底 indisposed for employment 雇用, she resolved 解决, soon 立刻 after break‧fast 早餐, to indulge 放纵 her‧self 她自己 in air 天空 and exercise 练习. She was proceeding 继续 directly to her favourite walk 走；步行同道, when the recollection 回忆 of Mr. Darcy’s some‧time 有时 coming there stopped 停止 her, and instead 代替 of entering 进入 the park 公园, she turned up the lane 车道, which led lead farther far from the turnpike-road 路. The park paling 苍白的 was still the boundary 分界线 on one side, and she soon 立刻 passed 走过 one of the gates 门 into the ground 地面.
After walking 走；步行同道 two or three times along 一起 that part of the lane 车道, she was tempted 引诱, by the pleasantness of the morning 早晨, to stop 停止 at the gates 门 and look into the park 公园. The five weeks which she had now passed 走过 in Kent had made a great difference 差别 in the country, and every day was adding 增加 to the verdure of the early trees 树. She was on the point of continuing her walk 走；步行同道, when she caught 抓；赶上:catch a glimpse 一瞥 of a gentle‧man 先生 within 在内 the sort 分类 of grove 树林 which edged 边 the park 公园; he was moving that way; and, fearful 可怕 of its being 存在 Mr. Darcy, she was directly retreating 撤退. But the person who advanced 往前推 was now near enough to see her, and stepping 步；走 forward 前进地 with eagerness, pronounced 发音 her name. She had turned away; but on hearing her‧self 她自己 called, though in a voice 嗓音 which proved 证明 it to be Mr. Darcy, she moved again towards the gate 门. He had by that time reached 到达 it also, and, holding out a letter 信, which she instinctively 本能 took, said, with a look of haughty composure, “I have been walking 走；步行同道 in the grove 树林 some time in the hope 希望 of meeting you. Will you do me the honour of reading that letter?” And then, with a slight 微小的 bow 弓, turned again into the plantation 种植园, and was soon 立刻 out of sight 视力.
With no expectation 期望 of pleasure 愉快, but with the strongest 强的 curiosity 好奇心, Elizabeth opened the letter 信, and, to her still increasing 增加 wonder 琢磨；奇妙, perceived 认为 an envelope 信封 containing 包含 two sheets 纸 of letter 信-paper 纸；报纸, written write quite 相当 through, in a very close hand. The envelope 信封 itself 本身 was like‧wise 同样 full 满的. Pursuing her way along 一起 the lane 车道, she then began begin it. It was dated 日期 from Rosings, at eight 八 o’ clock 钟 in the morning 早晨, and was as follows:—
“Be not alarmed 警告, madam 夫人, on receiving 收到 this letter 信, by the apprehension 顾虑 of its containing 包含 any repetition 重复 of those sentiments 情绪 or renewal 复兴 of those offers 提供 which were last night so disgusting 反感 to you. I write without any intention 意图 of paining 痛苦 you, or humbling 谦逊的 myself 我, by dwelling 住 on wishes 希望 which, for the happiness 幸福 of both, cannot be too soon 立刻 forgotten 忘记:forget; and the effort 努力 which the formation 结构；形状；形成方式；组成方式 and the perusal of this letter 信 must occasion 机会, should have been spared 节省；多余的；备用件, had not my character 性格 required 需要；有赖于；要求 it to be written write and read. You must, therefore 因此, pardon 宽恕；说啥？ the freedom 自由 with which I demand 要求 your attention 注意; your feelings, I know, will bestow 赐给 it unwillingly 不甘, but I demand it of your just‧ice 正义.
“Two offenses 进攻 of a very different 不同的 nature, and by no means of equal 相等的 magnitude 大小, you last night laid 放置:lay to my charge 装载. The first mentioned 提到 was, that, regard‧less 而不管 of the sentiments 情绪 of either 任一个, I had detached 分离 Mr. Bingley from your sister 姐妹, and the other, that I had, in defiance 蔑视 of various 各种 claims 声称, in defiance 蔑视 of honour and humanity 人性, ruined 破坏 the immediate 立即的 prosperity 繁荣 and blasted 爆破 the prospects 展望 of Mr. Wickham. Wilfully and want‧only 想要‧仅仅；唯一的 to have thrown 投掷:throw off the companion 同伴 of my youth 年轻, the acknowledged 确认 favourite of my father 父亲, a young man who had scarcely 缺乏的 any other dependence 依赖 than on our patron‧age 赞助, and who had been brought bring up to expect its exertion, would be a depravity, to which the separation 分离 of two young persons, whose 谁的 affect‧ion 感情 could be the growth 生长 of only a few weeks, could bear 生；熊 no comparison 比较. But from the severity 严重 of that blame 指责 which was last night so liberally 自由主义的 bestowed 赐给, respecting 尊重 each circumstance 环境, I shall 将要 hope 希望 to be in the future 将来的 secured 安全, when the following account 账；解释 of my actions 行动 and their motives 动机 has been read. If, in the explanation 说明 of them, which is due 由于 to myself 我, I am under the necessity 必须 of relating 相关 feelings which may be offensive 进攻 to yours, I can only say that I am sorry 对不起的. The necessity must be obeyed 服从, and further 更远的 apology 道歉认错 would be absurd 荒诞.
“I had not been long in Hertfordshire, before I saw see, in common 普通的 with others 别的, that Bingley preferred 更喜欢 your elder 年长的 sister 姐妹 to any other young woman in the country. But it was not till 到 the evening 傍晚 of the dance 跳舞 at Netherfield that I had any apprehension 顾虑 of his feeling a serious 严肃的 attachment 附件. I had often seen see him in love 爱 before. At that ball 球, while I had the honour of dancing 跳舞 with you, I was first made acquainted 认识, by Sir 先生 William Lucas’s accidental 偶然 information, that Bingley’s attentions 注意 to your sister 姐妹 had given give rise 上升 to a general expectation 期望 of their marriage 结婚. He spoke 讲:speak of it as a certain event 事件, of which the time alone 单独的 could be undecided 未定. From that moment 瞬间 I observed 观察 my friend 朋友’s behaviour attentively 注意的; and I could then perceive 认为 that his partiality for Miss 错过；想念 Bennet was beyond 超过 what I had ever 永远；曾经 witnessed 目击；目击者 in him. Your sister 姐妹 I also watched 钟表；注视. Her look and manners 方式 were open, cheerful 快乐, and engaging 从事 as ever, but without any symptom 症状 of peculiar 奇怪的 regard 认为, and I remained 留；剩余 convinced 说服 from the evening 傍晚’s scrutiny 审查, that though she received 收到 his attentions 注意 with pleasure 愉快, she did not invite 邀请 them by any participation 参与 of sentiment 情绪. If you have not been mistaken 错误 here, I must have been in error 错误. Your superior 优越 knowledge 知识；了解 of your sister 8 must make the latter 后者的 probable 可能的. If it be so, if I have been misled by such error 错误 to inflict 造成 pain 痛苦 on her, your resentment 怨恨 has not been unreasonable 不合理. But I shall 将要 not scruple to assert 断言, that the serenity of your sister 9’s countenance 面容 and air 天空 was such as might have given give the most many acute 急性 observer 观察 a conviction 定罪 that, however amiable 可亲 her temper 性情, her heart 心 was not likely 可能的 to be easily 轻易地 touched 触摸. That I was desirous of believing 信任 her indifferent 冷漠 is certain—but I will venture 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 to say that my investigation 调查 and decisions 决定 are not usually influenced 影响 by my hopes 希望 or fears 害怕. I did not believe 信任 her to be indifferent 冷漠 because I wished 希望 it; I believed 信任 it on impartial 公正 conviction 定罪, as truly 真 as I wished it in reason 理由. My objections 反对 to the marriage 结婚 were not merely 仅仅，只，不过 those which I last night acknowledged 确认 to have the utmost 极 force of passion 激情，热情；强烈情感 to put aside 在旁边, in my own case; the want of connection 连接 could not be so great an evil 邪恶的 to my friend 朋友 as to me. But there were other causes 原因；引起 of repugnance; causes which, though still existing 存在, and existing to an equal 相等的 degree 度 in both instances 例, I had myself 我 endeavoured to forget 忘记, because they were not immediately 立即，马上 before me. These causes 原因；引起 must be stated, though briefly 短时间地. The situation 处境 of your mother 母亲’s family, though objection‧able 反对‧能够的, was nothing in comparison 比较 to that total 总共 want of propriety so frequently 频繁地，经常地, so almost uniformly 均匀 betrayed 背叛 by her‧self 她自己, by your three younger sisters 姐妹, and occasionally 偶尔，间或；有时 even by your father 父亲. Pardon 宽恕；说啥？ me. It pains 痛苦 me to offend 触怒 you. But amidst 烟雨 your concern 关心；涉及 for the defects 缺陷 of your nearest relations 关系, and your displeasure at this representation 表示 of them, let it give you consolation 安慰 to consider that, to have conducted 进行 yourselves so as to avoid 避开 any share 股 of the like censure 谴责, is praise 赞扬 no less little generally bestowed 赐给 on you and your elder 年长的 sister 10, than it is honourable to the sense and disposition 性格 of both. I will only say farther far that from what passed 走过 that evening 傍晚, my opinion 意见 of all parties 社交聚会 was confirmed 确认, and every inducement heightened 变高 which could have led lead me before, to preserve 保护；保持原状 my friend 朋友 from what I esteemed 尊重 a most many unhappy 不快乐 connection 连接. He left 左边；留下；离开 Netherfield for London, on the day following, as you, I am certain, remember 记得, with the design 设计，计划 of soon 立刻 returning 回转.
“The part which I acted is now to be explained 讲解. His sisters 姐妹’ uneasiness had been equally 平等地…；相同地… excited 使兴奋 with my own; our coincidence 巧合 of feeling was soon 7 discovered 发现, and, alike 同样的 sensible 明智 that no time was to be lost 失去的 in detaching 分离 their brother 兄弟, we shortly 短的 resolved 解决 on joining 连接 him directly in London. We accordingly 于是 went—and there I readily 准备好的 engaged 从事 in the office 办公室 of pointing out to my friend 朋友 the certain evils 邪恶的 of such a choice 选择. I described 描写, and enforced 执行 them ear‧nest 热心的. But, however this remonstrance might have staggered 错开 or delayed 延迟 his determination 决心, I do not suppose 假定 that it would ultimately 最终 have prevented 预防 the marriage 结婚, had it not been seconded by the assurance 保证 that I hesitated 犹豫 not in giving, of your sister 11’s indifference 漠不关心. He had before believed 信任 her to return 回转 his affect‧ion 感情 with sincere 真诚的, if not with equal 相等的 regard 认为. But Bingley has great natural 自然 modesty 谦虚, with a stronger 强的 dependence 依赖 on my judgement than on his own. To convince 说服 him, therefore 因此, that he had deceived 欺诈 him‧self 他自己, was no very difficult 困难的 point. To persuade 说服 him against returning 回转 into Hertfordshire, when that conviction 定罪 had been given give, was scarcely 缺乏的 the work of a moment 瞬间. I cannot blame 指责 myself 我 for having done thus 于是 much. There is but one part of my conduct 进行 in the whole 全部的 affair 事情 on which I do not reflect 反射 with satisfaction 满足; it is that I condescended to adopt 采用；收养 the measures 测量 of art so far as to conceal 隐藏 from him your sister 12’s being 存在 in town 城镇. I knew know it myself 我, as it was known know to Miss 错过；想念 Bingley; but her brother 兄弟 is even yet ignorant 愚昧 of it. That they might have met meet without ill 生病 consequence 后果 is perhaps 或许 probable 可能的; but his regard 认为 did not appear 出现 to me enough extinguished 扑灭 for him to see her without some danger 危险. Perhaps this concealment, this disguise 伪装 was beneath 之下 me; it is done, however, and it was done for the best 最好. On this subject 主题 I have nothing more many to say, no other apology 道歉认错 to offer 提供. If I have wounded 创伤 your sister 13’s feelings, it was unknowingly done and though the motives 动机 which governed me may to you very naturally 自然地 appear 出现 insufficient 不足, I have not yet learnt 学习:learn to condemn 谴责 them.
“With respect 尊重 to that other, more many weighty accusation 指控, of having injured 损伤 Mr. Wickham, I can only refute 反驳 it by laying 放置 before you the whole 全部的 of his connection 连接 with my family. Of what he has particularly 特别 accused 指责 me I am ignorant 愚昧; but of the truth 真理 of what I shall 将要 relate 相关, I can summon 召唤 more many than one witness 目击；目击者 of undoubted veracity.
“Mr. Wickham is the son 儿子 of a very respect‧able 可敬 man, who had for many years the management 管理 of all the Pemberley estates 房地产, and whose 谁的 good conduct 进行 in the discharge 卸货 of his trust 信任 naturally 自然地 inclined 倾斜 my father 父亲 to be of service to him; and on George Wickham, who was his godson, his kindness 善良 was therefore 因此 liberally 自由主义的 bestowed 赐给. My father supported 支持 him at school, and after‧ward 之后 at Cambridge—most many important assistance 帮助, as his own father, always poor 贫穷的 from the extravagance of his wife 妻子, would have been unable 无法 to give him a gentle‧man 先生’s education 教育. My father was not only fond 喜欢的 of this young man’s society 社会, whose 谁的 manners 方式 were always engaging 从事; he had also the highest opinion 意见 of him, and hoping 希望 the church would be his profession 职业, intended 意欲 to provide for him in it. As for myself 我, it is many, many years since I first began begin to think of him in a very different 不同的 manner 方式. The vicious 恶毒 propensities 倾向—the want of principle 原理, which he was careful 小心 to guard 警卫 from the knowledge 知识；了解 of his best 最好 friend 6, could not escape 逃脱 the observation 意见 of a young man of nearly the same age 年龄 with him‧self 他自己, and who had opportunities 机会 of seeing him in unguarded moments 瞬间, which Mr. Darcy could not have. Here again I shall 将要 give you pain 痛苦—to what degree 度 you only can tell. But what‧ever 无论什么 may be the sentiments 情绪 which Mr. Wickham has created 制作，制造, a suspicion 怀疑 of their nature shall 将要 not prevent 预防 me from unfolding 展开 his real character 性格—it adds 增加 even another motive 动机.
“My excellent 卓越的 father 6 died 死亡 about five years ago 以前; and his attachment 附件 to Mr. Wickham was to the last so steady 稳定的, that in his will he particularly 特别 recommended 推荐 it to me, to promote 促进 his advancement 进步 in the best 最好 manner 方式 that his profession 职业 might allow 允许—and if he took orders, desired 希望 that a valuable 贵重的 family living might be his as soon 8 as it became become vacant 空的. There was also a legacy 遗产 of one thou‧sand 千 pounds 敲打；英镑. His own father 7 did not long survive 生存 mine 我的, and within 在内 half 一半的 a year from these events 事件, Mr. Wickham wrote write to inform 通知 me that, having finally 最后 resolved 解决 against taking orders, he hoped 希望 I should not think it unreasonable 不合理 for him to expect some more many immediate 立即的 pecuniary advantage 有利条件, in lieu 代替 of the preferment, by which he could not be benefited 效益. He had some intention 意图, he added 增加, of studying law, and I must be aware 知道的 that the interest of one thou‧sand 千 pounds 敲打；英镑 would be a very insufficient 不足 support 支持 therein 在其中. I rather wished 希望, than believed 信任 him to be sincere 真诚的; but, at any rate 速度, was perfectly 完美地，完满地 ready 准备好的 to accede to his proposal 提议. I knew know that Mr. Wickham ought 应当 not to be a clergy‧man 牧师; the business was therefore 因此 soon 9 settled 解决；定居—he resigned 辞职 all claim 声称 to assistance 帮助 in the church, were it possible that he could ever 永远；曾经 be in a situation 处境 to receive 收到 it, and accepted 承认 in return 回转 three thou‧sand 千 pounds 敲打；英镑. All connection 连接 between us seemed now dissolved 溶解. I thought think too ill 生病 of him to invite 邀请 him to Pemberley, or admit 许可进入 his society 社会 in town 城镇. In town I believe 信任 he chiefly 主要；首领 lived, but his studying the law was a mere 仅仅 pretence, and being 存在 now free 自由的 from all restraint 克制, his life was a life of idleness and dissipation. For about three years I heard hear little of him; but on the decease 死亡 of the incumbent 现任 of the living which had been designed 设计，计划 for him, he applied 用于 to me again by letter 6 for the presentation 介绍. His circumstances 环境, he assured 向…保证；肯定地说 me, and I had no difficulty 困难 in believing 信任 it, were exceedingly 非常 bad 坏的. He had found find the law a most many unprofitable study, and was now absolutely 完全地；绝对地 resolved 解决 on being 存在 ordained 注定, if I would present him to the living in question—of which he trusted 信任 there could be little doubt 怀疑, as he was well assured 向…保证；肯定地说 that I had no other person to provide for, and I could not have forgotten 忘记:forget my revered 尊敬 father 8’s intentions 意图. You will hardly 几乎不 blame 指责 me for refusing 拒绝 to comply 执行 with this entreaty, or for resisting 抵抗 every repetition 重复 to it. His resentment 怨恨 was in proportion 比例 to the distress 苦难 of his circumstances 环境—and he was doubt‧less 毫无疑问， as violent 猛烈 in his abuse 滥用 of me to others 别的 as in his reproaches 责备 to myself 我. After this period 时期，时间 every appearance 外貌 of acquaintance 熟人 was dropped 放下；滴；掉. How he lived I know not. But last summer 夏 he was again most many painfully 痛苦 obtruded on my notice 注意.
“I must now mention 提到 a circumstance 环境 which I would wish 希望 to forget 忘记 myself 我, and which no obligation 义务；责任；职责 less little than the present should induce 促使 me to unfold 展开 to any human 人 being 8. Having said thus 于是 much, I feel no doubt 怀疑 of your secrecy 保密. My sister, who is more many than ten 十 years my junior 初级, was left 左边；留下；离开 to the guardian‧ship 监护人‧船 of my mother 母亲’s nephew 侄子, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and myself 我. About a year ago 以前, she was taken from school, and an establishment 机构 formed for her in London; and last summer 夏 she went with the lady 女士 who pre‧side 主持 over it, to Ramsgate; and thither also went Mr. Wickham, undoubtedly 无疑 by design 设计，计划; for there proved 证明 to have been a prior 先 acquaintance 熟人 between him and Mrs. Younge, in whose 谁的 character 性格 we were most many unhappily 不快乐 deceived 欺诈; and by her connivance and aid 援助, he so far recommended 推荐 him‧self 他自己 to Georgiana, whose affectionate 亲热 heart 心 retained 保留 a strong 强的 impression 印象 of his kindness 善良 to her as a child, that she was persuaded 说服 to believe 信任 her‧self 她自己 in love 爱, and to consent 同意 to an elopement. She was then but fifteen 十五, which must be her excuse 原谅; and after stating her imprudence, I am happy 幸福的 to add 增加, that I owed 欠…债 the knowledge 知识；了解 of it to her‧self 她自己. I joined 连接 them unexpectedly 不料 a day or two before the intended 意欲 elopement, and then Georgiana, unable 无法 to support 支持 the idea 主意 of grieving 悼 and offending 触怒 a brother 兄弟 whom 谁 she almost looked up to as a father 9, acknowledged 确认 the whole 全部的 to me. You may imagine 想象 what I felt feel and how I acted. Regard 认为 for my sister’s credit 信用 and feelings prevented 预防 any public exposure 经受; but I wrote write to Mr. Wickham, who left 左边；留下；离开 the place immediately 立即，马上, and Mrs. Younge was of course removed 去掉 from her charge 装载. Mr. Wickham’s chief 主要；首领 object 物体；反对 was unquestionably my sister’s for‧tune 命运, which is thirty 三十 thou‧sand 千 pounds 敲打；英镑; but I cannot help supposing 假定 that the hope 希望 of revenging 报仇 him‧self 他自己 on me was a strong 强的 inducement. His revenge 报仇 would have been complete indeed 的确.
“This, madam 夫人, is a faithful 可信 narrative 叙述 of every event 事件 in which we have been concerned 关心；涉及 together 同时; and if you do not absolutely 完全地；绝对地 reject 拒绝 it as false 虚伪的, you will, I hope 6, acquit 开释 me hence‧forth 今后 of cruelty 残酷 towards Mr. Wickham. I know not in what manner 方式, under what form of false‧hood 虚伪的‧引擎罩 he had imposed 强加 on you; but his success 成功 is not perhaps 或许 to be wondered 琢磨；奇妙 at. Ignorant as you previously 先前 were of every‧thing 每件事物 concerning 关心；涉及 either 任一个, detect‧ion 发现 could not be in your power, and suspicion 怀疑 certainly not in your inclination 倾角.
“You may possibly wonder 琢磨；奇妙 why all this was not told tell you last night; but I was not then master 主人；硕士 enough of myself 我 to know what could or ought 应当 to be revealed 揭示. For the truth 真理 of every‧thing 每件事物 here related 相关, I can appeal 上诉 more many particularly 特别 to the testimony 见证 of Colonel Fitzwilliam, who, from our near relation‧ship 关系 and constant 不变 intimacy 亲密关系, and, still more many, as one of the executors of my father’s will, has been unavoidably 不免 acquainted 认识 with every particular 特别的 of these trans‧action 交易. If your abhorrence of me should make my assertions 断言 value‧less 价值‧少, you cannot be prevented 预防 by the same cause 原因；引起 from confiding 信任 in my cousin 堂兄妹; and that there may be the possibility 可能性 of consulting 咨询；请教；查阅 him, I shall 将要 endeavour to find some opportunity 机会 of putting this letter 7 in your hands in the course of the morning 早晨. I will only add 增加, God bless 祝福 you.

If Elizabeth, when Mr. Darcy gave give her the letter 8, did not expect it to contain 包含 a renewal 复兴 of his offers 提供, she had formed no expectation 期望 at all of its contents 内容. But such as they were, it may well be supposed 假定 how eagerly 渴望的 she went through them, and what a contrariety of emotion 情感 they excited 使兴奋. Her feelings as she read were scarcely 缺乏的 to be defined 确定. With amazement 惊愕 did she first under‧stand 懂 that he believed 信任 any apology 道歉认错 to be in his power; and steadfastly was she persuaded 说服, that he could have no explanation 说明 to give, which a just sense of shame 羞愧 would not conceal 隐藏. With a strong 强的 prejudice 成见 against every‧thing 每件事物 he might say, she began begin his account 账；解释 of what had happened 发生 at Netherfield. She read with an eagerness which hardly 几乎不 left 左边；留下；离开 her power of comprehension 理解, and from impatience 不耐烦 of knowing what the next sentence 句子 might bring, was incapable 无法 of attending 出席 to the sense of the one before her eyes. His belief 信 of her sister’s insensibility she instantly 瞬间 resolved 解决 to be false 虚伪的; and his account 账；解释 of the real, the worst 生病:ill objections 反对 to the match 比赛；火柴, made her too angry 生气的 to have any wish 希望 of doing him just‧ice 正义. He expressed 表达 no regret 后悔 for what he had done which satisfied 使满意 her; his style 样式 was not penitent, but haughty. It was all pride 自尊 and insolence.
But when this subject 主题 was succeeded 成功 by his account 账；解释 of Mr. Wickham—when she read with some‧what 有些 clearer attention 注意 a relation 关系 of events 事件 which, if true 真正的, must over‧throw 推翻 every cherished 珍视 opinion 意见 of his worth 值得的, and which bore 厌倦；厌烦；生 so alarming 警告 an affinity 亲和力 to his own history 历史 of himself 6—her feelings were yet more many acutely 急性 painful 痛苦 and more many difficult 困难的 of definition 定义. Astonishment, apprehension 顾虑, and even horror 恐怖, oppressed 压迫 her. She wished 希望 to discredit 怀疑 it entirely 完全；彻底；完整地, repeatedly 反复 exclaiming 喊叫, “This must be false 虚伪的! This cannot be! This must be the grossest 毛 false‧hood 虚伪的‧引擎罩!”—and when she had gone through the whole 全部的 letter 9, though scarcely 缺乏的 knowing any‧thing 任何东西 of the last page 页 or two, put it hastily 草草 away, protesting 抗议 that she would not regard 认为 it, that she would never look in it again.
In this perturbed state of mind, with thoughts that could rest 休息，其余 on nothing, she walked 走；步行同道 on; but it would not do; in half 一半的 a minute 分 the letter was unfolded 展开 again, and collecting 收集 her‧self 她自己 as well as she could, she again began begin the mortifying perusal of all that related 相关 to Wickham, and commanded 命令 her‧self 她自己 so far as to examine 检查 the meaning of every sentence 句子. The account 账；解释 of his connection 连接 with the Pemberley family was exactly 精确地；确切地 what he had related 相关 himself 7; and the kindness 善良 of the late Mr. Darcy, though she had not before known know its extent 程度, agreed 同意 equally 平等地…；相同地… well with his own words. So far each recital 演奏会 confirmed 确认 the other; but when she came to the will, the difference 差别 was great. What Wickham had said of the living was fresh 新鲜的 in her memory 记忆, and as she recalled 召回 his very words, it was impossible 不可能的 not to feel that there was gross 毛 duplicity on one side or the other; and, for a few moments 瞬间, she flattered 奉承 her‧self 她自己 that her wishes 希望 did not err 呃. But when she read and re-read with the closest attention 注意, the particulars 特别的 immediately 立即，马上 following of Wickham’s resigning 辞职 all pretensions to the living, of his receiving 收到 in lieu 代替 so consider‧able 大量 a sum 和 as three thou‧sand 千 pounds 敲打；英镑, again was she forced to hesitate 犹豫. She put down the letter, weighed 称重 every circumstance 环境 with what she meant mean to be impartiality—deliberated 商榷 on the probability 可能性 of each statement 声明—but with little success 成功. On both sides it was only assertion 断言. Again she read on; but every line proved 证明 more many clearly that the affair 事情, which she had believed 信任 it impossible 不可能的 that any contrivance could so represent 代表 as to render 给予 Mr. Darcy’s conduct 进行 in it less little than infamous 臭名昭著, was cap‧able 能 of a turn which must make him entirely 完全；彻底；完整地 blame‧less 指责‧少 through‧out 始终 the whole 全部的.
The extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay 放置 at Mr. Wickham’s charge 装载, exceedingly 非常 shocked 震惊；震动 her; the more many so, as she could bring no proof 证明 of its injustice 不公正. She had never heard hear of him before his entrance 入口 into the ——shire Militia, in which he had engaged 从事 at the persuasion 劝说 of the young man who, on meeting him accidentally 偶然 in town 城镇, had there renewed 更新 a slight 微小的 acquaintance 熟人. Of his former 以前的 way of life nothing had been known know in Hertfordshire but what he told tell himself 8. As to his real character 性格, had information been in her power, she had never felt feel a wish 希望 of inquiring 打听. His countenance 面容, voice 嗓音, and manner 7 had established 建立 him at once in the possession 所有物 of every virtue 美德. She tried to recollect some instance 例 of goodness 善良, some distinguished 区分 trait 特征 of integrity 廉正 or benevolence, that might rescue 营救 him from the attacks 攻击 of Mr. Darcy; or at least 最小的, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those casual 随便 errors 错误 under which she would endeavour to class 班 what Mr. Darcy had described 描写 as the idleness and vice 副职的；副的 of many years’ continuance. But no such recollection 回忆 befriended her. She could see him instantly 瞬间 before her, in every charm 魔力；使陶醉 of air 天空 and address 地址; but she could remember 记得 no more many substantial 大量的 good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood, and the regard 6 which his social powers had gained 获得 him in the mess 不整洁；弄乱. After pausing 暂停 on this point a consider‧able 大量 while, she once more many continued to read. But, alas 唉! the story 故事 which followed, of his designs 设计，计划 on Miss 错过；想念 Darcy, received 收到 some confirmation 确认 from what had passed 走过 between Colonel Fitzwilliam and her‧self 她自己 only the morning 早晨 before; and at last she was referred 提到 for the truth 真理 of every particular 特别的 to Colonel Fitzwilliam himself 9—from whom 谁 she had previously 先前 received 收到 the information of his near concern 关心；涉及 in all his cousin 堂兄妹’s affairs 事情, and whose 谁的 character 性格 she had no reason 理由 to question. At one time she had almost resolved 解决 on applying 用于 to him, but the idea 主意 was checked 检查 by the awkwardness of the application 应用, and at length 长度 wholly 全 banished 放逐 by the conviction 定罪 that Mr. Darcy would never have hazarded 冒险 such a proposal 提议, if he had not been well assured 向…保证；肯定地说 of his cousin 堂兄妹’s corroboration.
She perfectly 完美地，完满地 remembered 记得 every‧thing 每件事物 that had passed 走过 in conversation 交谈 between Wickham and her‧self 她自己, in their first evening 傍晚 at Mr. Phillips’s. Many of his expressions 表现 were still fresh 新鲜的 in her memory 记忆. She was now struck 敲击:strike with the impropriety of such communications 通讯 to a stranger 奇怪；陌生, and wondered 琢磨；奇妙 it had escaped 逃脱 her before. She saw see the indelicacy of putting himself forward 前进地 as he had done, and the inconsistency 前后矛盾 of his professions 职业 with his conduct 进行. She remembered 记得 that he had boasted 自夸 of having no fear 害怕 of seeing Mr. Darcy—that Mr. Darcy might leave the country, but that he should stand his ground 地面; yet he had avoided 避开 the Netherfield ball 球 the very next week. She remembered 记得 also that, till 到 the Netherfield family had quitted 放弃 the country, he had told tell his story 故事 to no one but her‧self 她自己; but that after their removal 切除 it had been every‧where 到处 discussed 讨论; that he had then no reserves 预订；保留, no scruples in sinking 淹没 Mr. Darcy’s character 7, though he had assured 向…保证；肯定地说 her that respect 尊重 for the father would always prevent 预防 his exposing 暴露 the son 儿子.
How differently 不同的 did every‧thing 每件事物 now appear 出现 in which he was concerned 关心；涉及! His attentions 注意 to Miss 错过；想念 King 国王 were now the consequence 后果 of views 看法 solely 独自 and hate‧fully 仇恨‧完全地 mercenary 雇佣兵; and the mediocrity of her for‧tune 命运 proved 证明 no longer the moderation 适度 of his wishes 希望, but his eagerness to grasp 把握 at any‧thing 任何东西. His behaviour to her‧self 她自己 could now have had no tolerable motive 动机; he had either 任一个 been deceived 欺诈 with regard 7 to her for‧tune 命运, or had been gratifying 取悦 his vanity 虚荣 by encouraging 鼓励 the preference 偏爱 which she believed 6 she had most many incautiously shown show. Every lingering 萦绕 struggle 挣扎；搏斗 in his favour grew 生长；种植:grow fainter 微弱的 and fainter; and in farther far justification 理由 of Mr. Darcy, she could not but allow 允许 that Mr. Bingley, when questioned by Jane, had long ago 以前 asserted 断言 his blamelessness in the affair 事情; that proud 自豪的 and repulsive as were his manners 方式, she had never, in the whole 全部的 course of their acquaintance 熟人—an acquaintance 熟人 which had latterly 后者的 brought bring them much together 同时, and given give her a sort 分类 of intimacy 亲密关系 with his ways—seen see any‧thing 任何东西 that betrayed 背叛 him to be unprincipled or unjust 不公— anything that spoke 讲:speak him of irreligious or immoral 不道德 habits 习惯; that among 之间 his own connections 连接 he was esteemed 尊重 and valued—that even Wickham had allowed 允许 him merit 值得 as a brother 兄弟, and that she had often heard hear him speak 讲 so affectionately 亲热 of his sister as to prove 证明 him cap‧able 能 of some amiable 可亲 feeling; that had his actions 行动 been what Mr. Wickham represented 代表 them, so gross 毛 a violation 违反 of everything 7 right could hardly 几乎不 have been concealed 隐藏 from the world; and that friend‧ship 友情 between a person cap‧able 能 of it, and such an amiable 可亲 man as Mr. Bingley, was incomprehensible 费解的.
She grew 生长；种植:grow absolutely 完全地；绝对地 ashamed 惭愧的 of her‧self 她自己. Of neither 都不 Darcy nor 也不 Wickham could she think without feeling she had been blind 失明的, partial 局部, prejudiced 成见, absurd 荒诞.
“How despicably I have acted!” she cried 哭，叫喊; “I, who have prided 自尊 myself 我 on my discernment! I, who have valued myself 我 on my abilities 能力! who have often disdained 蔑视 the generous 慷慨的 candour of my sister, and gratified 取悦 my vanity 虚荣 in use‧less 无用 or blame‧able 指责‧能够的 mist‧rust 不信任! How humiliating 羞辱 is this discovery 发现! Yet, how just a humiliation 屈辱! Had I been in love 爱, I could not have been more many wretchedly blind 失明的! But vanity 虚荣, not love 6, has been my folly 蠢事. Pleased with the preference 偏爱 of one, and offended 触怒 by the neglect 疏忽 of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance 熟人, I have courted 法院 pre‧possession 预‧所有物 and ignorance 无知, and driven 驾驶:drive reason 理由 away, where either 任一个 were concerned 关心；涉及. Till 到 this moment 6 I never knew know myself 我.”
From her‧self 她自己 to Jane—from Jane to Bingley, her thoughts were in a line which soon 10 brought bring to her recollection 回忆 that Mr. Darcy’s explanation 说明 there had appeared 出现 very insufficient 不足, and she read it again. Widely 范围广地；广泛地 different 不同的 was the effect 影响 of a second perusal. How could she deny 拒绝 that credit 信用 to his assertions 断言 in one instance 例, which she had been obliged 责成 to give in the other? He declared 宣布 himself to be totally 彻底 unsuspicious of her sister’s attachment 附件; and she could not help remembering 记得 what Charlotte’s opinion 意见 had always been. Neither 都不 could she deny 拒绝 the just‧ice 正义 of his description 描述 of Jane. She felt feel that Jane’s feelings, though fervent, were little displayed 显示, and that there was a constant 不变 complacency 自满 in her air 天空 and manner 8 not often united with great sensibility 感性.
When she came to that part of the letter in which her family were mentioned 提到 in terms 学期 of such mortifying, yet merited 值得 reproach 责备, her sense of shame 羞愧 was severe 严峻的. The just‧ice 正义 of the charge 装载 struck 敲击:strike her too forcibly 强制 for denial 否认, and the circumstances 环境 to which he particularly 特别 alluded 暗示 as having passed 6 at the Netherfield ball 球, and as confirming 确认 all his first disapprobation, could not have made a stronger 强的 impression 印象 on his mind than on hers.
The compliment 赞扬 to her‧self 她自己 and her sister was not unfelt. It soothed 缓和, but it could not console 安慰 her for the con‧tempt 鄙视 which had thus 于是 been self 自己-attracted 吸引 by the rest 休息，其余 of her family; and as she considered that Jane’s disappointment 失望 had in fact been the work of her nearest relations 关系, and reflected 反射 how materially 材料 the credit 信用 of both must be hurt 损害 by such impropriety of conduct 进行, she felt feel depressed 压抑 beyond 超过 any‧thing 任何东西 she had ever 6 known know before.
After wandering 漫步 along 一起 the lane 车道 for two hours 小时, giving way to every variety 多样 of thought think—re-considering events 事件, determining 决心 probabilities 可能性, and reconciling 调和 her‧self 她自己, as well as she could, to a change so sudden 突然的 and so important, fatigue 疲劳, and a recollection 回忆 of her long absence 缺席, made her at length 长度 return 回转 home; and she entered 进入 the house with the wish 7 of appearing 出现 cheerful 快乐 as usual, and the resolution 解析度 of repressing 抑 such reflections 反映 as must make her unfit 不适当 for conversation 交谈.
She was immediately 立即，马上 told tell that the two gentlemen from Rosings had each called during her absence 缺席; Mr. Darcy, only for a few minutes 分, to take leave—but that Colonel Fitzwilliam had been sitting 坐 with them at least 最小的 anhour 小时, hoping 希望 for her return 回转, and almost resolving 解决 to walk 走；步行同道 after her till 到 she could be found find. Elizabeth could but just affect 影响 concern 关心；涉及 in missing 错过；想念 him; she really rejoiced 欢庆 at it. Colonel Fitzwilliam was no longer an object 物体；反对; she could think only of her letter.

Chapter 37
The two gentlemen left 左边；留下；离开 Rosings the next morning 早晨, and Mr. Collins having been in waiting 等候 near the lodges 存放, to make them his parting obeisance, was able 能够的 to bring home the pleasing 请;讨人喜欢 intelligence 情报, of their appearing 出现 in very good health 健康状况, and in as tolerable spirits 精神 as could be expected, after the melancholy 愁绪 scene 场面 so lately 近来 gone through at Rosings. To Rosings he then hastened 加速, to console 安慰 Lady 女士 Catherine and her daughter 女儿; and on his return 回转 brought bring back, with great satisfaction 满足, a mess‧age 信息 from her lady‧ship 女士‧船, importing 进口 that she felt feel her‧self 她自己 so dull 钝的；没兴趣 as to make her very desirous of having them all to dine 吃饭 with her.
Elizabeth could not see Lady 女士 Catherine without recollecting that, had she chosen 挑选:choose it, she might by this time have been presented to her as her future 将来的 niece 外甥女; nor 也不 could she think, without a smile 微笑, of what her lady‧ship 女士‧船’s indignation 愤慨 would have been. “What would she have said? how would she have behaved 表现?” were questions with which she amused 使人发笑 her‧self 她自己.
Their first subject 主题 was the diminution of the Rosings party 社交聚会. “I assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you, I feel it exceedingly 非常,” said Lady 女士 Catherine; “I believe 信任 no one feels the loss 损失 of friends 朋友 so much as I do. But I am particularly 特别 attached 连接 to these young men, and know them to be so much attached 连接 to me! They were excessively 过度的 sorry 对不起的 to go! But so they always are. The dear 亲爱的 Colonel rallied 团结 his spirits 精神 tolerably till 到 just at last; but Darcy seemed to feel it most many acutely 急性, more many, I think, than last year. His attachment 附件 to Rosings certainly increases.”
Mr. Collins had a compliment 赞扬, and an allusion 典故 to throw 投掷 in here, which were kindly smiled 微笑 on by the mother 母亲 and daughter 女儿.
Lady 女士 Catherine observed 观察, after dinner 正餐, that Miss 错过；想念 Bennet seemed out of spirits 精神, and immediately 6 accounting 账；解释 for it by her‧self 她自己, by supposing 假定 that she did not like to go home again so soon 11, she added 增加:
“But if that is the case, you must write to your mother 母亲 and beg 乞讨 that you may stay 停留 a little longer. Mrs. Collins will be very glad 高兴的 of your company, I am sure 确信的.”
“I am much obliged 责成 to your lady‧ship 女士‧船 for your kind invitation 邀请,” replied 回答 Elizabeth, “but it is not in my power to accept 承认 it. I must be in town 城镇 next Saturday.”
“Why, at that rate 速度, you will have been here only six 6 weeks. I expected you to stay 停留 two months 月. I told tell Mrs. Collins so before you came. There can be no occasion 机会 for your going so soon. Mrs. Bennet could certainly spare 节省；多余的；备用件 you for another fort‧night 两星期.”
“But my father cannot. He wrote write last week to hurry 赶紧 my return 回转.”
“Oh! your father of course may spare you, if your mother 母亲 can. Daughters are never of so much consequence 后果 to a father. And if you will stay 停留 another month 月 complete, it will be in my power to take one of you as far as London, for I am going there early in June, for a week; and as Dawson does not object 物体；反对 to the barouche-box 盒；耳光, there will be very good room for one of you—and indeed 的确, if the weather 天气 should happen 发生 to be cool 冷静的；酷, I should not object 物体；反对 to taking you both, as you are neither 都不 of you large.”
“You are all kindness 善良, madam 夫人; but I believe 信任 we must abide 遵守 by our original 原版的 plan.”
Lady 女士 Catherine seemed resigned 辞职. “Mrs. Collins, you must send 派遣；送 a servant 仆人 with them. You know I always speak 讲 my mind, and I cannot bear 生；熊 the idea 主意 of two young women travelling 旅行 post 邮件 by themselves 他们自己. It is highly improper 不当. You must contrive 图谋 to send 派遣；送 some‧body 某人. I have the greatest dislike 反感 in the world to that sort 分类 of thing. Young women should always be properly 正确地 guarded 警卫 and attended 出席, according 协议 to their situation 处境 in life. When my niece 外甥女 Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer 夏, I made a point of her having two men-servants 仆人 go with her. Miss 错过；想念 Darcy, the daughter 女儿 of Mr. Darcy, of Pemberley, and Lady 7 Anne, could not have appeared 出现 with propriety in a different 不同的 manner 9. I am excessively 过度的 attentive 注意的 to all those things. You must send 派遣；送 John with the young ladies 女士, Mrs. Collins. I am glad 高兴的 it occurred 发生 to me to mention 提到 it; for it would really be discredit‧able 怀疑‧能够的 to you to let them go alone 单独的.”
“My uncle 叔叔 is to send 派遣；送 a servant 仆人 for us.”
“Oh! Your uncle! He keeps a man- servant, does he? I am very glad 高兴的 you have some‧body 某人 who thinks of these things. Where shall 6 you change horses 马? Oh! Bromley, of course. If you mention 提到 my name at the Bell 钟, you will be attended 出席 to.”
Lady 8 Catherine had many other questions to ask respecting 尊重 their journey 旅行, and as she did not answer 答复 them all her‧self 她自己, attention 注意 was necessary 必要的, which Elizabeth believed 7 to be lucky 幸运 for her; or, with a mind so occupied 占据, she might have forgotten 忘记:forget where she was. Reflection 反映 must be reserved 预订；保留 for solitary 孤 hours 小时; when‧ever 随时 she was alone 单独的, she gave give way to it as the greatest relief 宽慰; and not a day went by without a solitary 孤 walk 走；步行同道, in which she might indulge 放纵 in all the delight 快乐 of unpleasant 不愉快 recollections 回忆.
Mr. Darcy’s letter she was in a fair 公平；美丽 way of soon knowing by heart 心. She studied every sentence 句子; and her feelings towards its writer were at times widely 范围广地；广泛地 different 不同的. When she remembered 记得 the style 样式 of his address 地址, she was still full 满的 of indignation 愤慨; but when she considered how unjustly 不公 she had condemned 谴责 and upbraided him, her anger 生气 was turned against her‧self 她自己; and his disappointed 使失望 feelings became become the object 物体；反对 of compassion 同情. His attachment 附件 excited 使兴奋 gratitude 感谢, his general character 8 respect 尊重; but she could not approve 赞成 him; nor 也不 could she for a moment 7 repent her refusal 拒绝, or feel the slightest 微小的 inclination 倾角 ever 7 to see him again. In her own past 过去的 behaviour, there was a constant 不变 source 资源 of vexation and regret 后悔; and in the unhappy 不快乐 defects 缺陷 of her family, a subject 主题 of yet heavier 厚实；重的 chagrin. They were hope‧less 绝望 of remedy 治疗法. Her father, contented 内容 with laughing 笑 at them, would never exert 发挥 himself to rest‧rain 抑制 the wild 野生的 giddiness of his youngest daughters 女儿; and her mother 母亲, with manners 方式 so far from right her‧self 她自己, was entirely 完全；彻底；完整地 insensible of the evil 邪恶的. Elizabeth had frequently 频繁地，经常地 united with Jane in an endeavour to check 检查 the imprudence of Catherine and Lydia; but while they were supported 支持 by their mother 6’s indulgence 放纵, what chance 机会 could there be of improvement 起色? Catherine, weak 柔弱的-spirited 精神, irritable 急躁, and completely under Lydia’s guidance 指导, had been always affronted by their advice 劝告; and Lydia, self 自己-willed and care‧less 粗心, would scarcely 缺乏的 give them a hearing. They were ignorant 愚昧, idle 无意义的, and vain 徒劳的. While there was an officer 军官；指挥官 in Meryton, they would flirt 调情 with him; and while Meryton was within 在内 a walk 6 of Longbourn, they would be going there for‧ever 永远.
Anxiety 焦虑 on Jane’s behalf 代表 was another prevailing 战胜 concern 关心；涉及; and Mr. Darcy’s explanation 说明, by restoring 修复；使复位；使复职 Bingley to all her former 以前的 good opinion 7, heightened 变高 the sense of what Jane had lost 失去的. His affect‧ion 感情 was proved 证明 to have been sincere 真诚的, and his conduct 进行 cleared of all blame 指责, unless 除非 any could attach 连接 to the implicitness of his confidence 信心 in his friend 7. How grievous then was the thought think that, of a situation 处境 so desirable 合意 in every respect 尊重, so replete with advantage 有利条件, so promising 允诺 for happiness 幸福, Jane had been deprived 剥夺, by the folly 蠢事 and indecorum of her own family!
When to these recollections 回忆 was added 增加 the development 发展，成长 of Wickham’s character 9, it may be easily 轻易地 believed 8 that the happy 幸福的 spirits 6 which had seldom 很少 been depressed 压抑 before, were now so much affected 影响 as to make it almost impossible 不可能的 for her to appear 出现 tolerably cheerful 快乐.
Their engagements 订婚 at Rosings were as frequent 频繁的 during the last week of her stay 停留 as they had been at first. The very last evening 傍晚 was spent 用过的 there; and her lady‧ship 女士‧船 again inquired 打听 minutely 分 into the particulars 特别的 of their journey 旅行, gave give them directions 方向 as to the best 最好 method 方法 of packing 一群, and was so urgent 急迫的 on the necessity 必须 of placing gowns 袍 in the only right way, that Maria thought think her‧self 她自己 obliged 责成, on her return 6, to undo 解开 all the work of the morning 6, and pack 一群 her trunk 树干 afresh.
When they parted, Lady 9 Catherine, with great condescension, wished 希望 them a good journey 旅行, and invited 邀请 them to come to Hunsford again next year; and Miss 错过；想念 de Bourgh exerted 发挥 her‧self 她自己 so far as to curtsey and hold out her hand to both.

On Saturday morning 7 Elizabeth and Mr. Collins met meet for break‧fast 早餐 a few minutes 分 before the others 别的 appeared 出现; and he took the opportunity 机会 of paying the parting civilities which he deemed 认为 indispensably 不可缺少 necessary 必要的.
“I know not, Miss 7 Elizabeth,” said he, “ whether 是否 Mrs. Collins has yet expressed 表达 her sense of your kindness 善良 in coming to us; but I am very certain you will not leave the house without receiving 收到 her thanks 谢谢 for it. The favour of your company has been much felt feel, I assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you. We know how little there is to tempt 引诱 anyone 任何人 to our humble 谦逊的 abode. Our plain 平原；明显 manner 10 of living, our small rooms and few domestics 国内, and the little we see of the world, must make Hunsford extremely 非常；极端；极其 dull 钝的；没兴趣 to a young lady 10 like your‧self 你自己; but I hope 7 you will believe 6 us grateful 感激的 for the condescension, and that we have done everything 8 in our power to prevent 预防 your spending 用钱；消磨时间 your time unpleasantly 不愉快.”
Elizabeth was eager 渴望的 with her thanks 谢谢 and assurances 保证 of happiness 幸福. She had spent 用过的 six 6 weeks with great enjoyment 享受; and the pleasure 愉快 of being 9 with Charlotte, and the kind attentions 注意 she had received 收到, must make her feel the obliged 责成. Mr. Collins was gratified 取悦, and with a more many smiling 微笑 solemnity replied 回答:
“It gives me great pleasure to hear that you have passed 7 your time not disagreeably. We have certainly done our best 6; and most many fortunately 侥幸的 having it in our power to introduce 提出 you to very superior 优越 society 社会, and, from our connection 连接 with Rosings, the frequent 频繁的 means of varying 变化 the humble 谦逊的 home scene 场面, I think we may flatter 平的；公寓 ourselves 我们自己 that your Hunsford visit 访问 cannot have been entirely 完全；彻底；完整地 irksome. Our situation 处境 with regard 8 to Lady 11 Catherine’s family is indeed 的确 the sort 分类 of extra‧ordinary 非凡的 advantage 有利条件 and blessing 祝福 which few can boast 自夸. You see on what a footing 脚；英尺 we are. You see how continually 不断 we are engaged 从事 there. In truth 真理 I must acknowledge 确认 that, with all the disadvantages 坏处 of this humble 谦逊的 parsonage, I should not think anyone 任何人 abiding 遵守 in it an object 物体；反对 of compassion 同情, while they are sharers of our intimacy 亲密关系 at Rosings.”
Words were insufficient 不足 for the elevation 海拔 of his feelings; and he was obliged 责成 to walk 7 about the room, while Elizabeth tried to unite civility and truth in a few short 短的 sentences 句子.
“You may, in fact, carry 运送；支撑 a very favourable report of us into Hertfordshire, my dear 亲爱的 cousin 堂兄妹. I flatter 平的；公寓 myself 我 at least 最小的 that you will be able 能够的 to do so. Lady Catherine’s great attentions 注意 to Mrs. Collins you have been a daily 每日的 witness 目击；目击者 of; and altogether 全部地 I trust 信任 it does not appear 出现 that your friend 8 has drawn 绘画:draw an unfortunate 不幸的—but on this point it will be as well to be silent 沉默的. Only let me assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you, my dear 亲爱的 Miss 8 Elizabeth, that I can from my heart 心 most many cordially wish 8 you equal 相等的 felicity in marriage 结婚. My dear Charlotte and I have but one mind and one way of thinking. There is in everything 9 a most many remark‧able 非凡的；奇异的；引人注目的 resemblance 相似 of character 10 and ideas 主意 between us. We seem to have been designed 设计，计划 for each other.”
Elizabeth could safely 安全的 say that it was a great happiness 幸福 where that was the case, and with equal 相等的 sincerity 诚意 could add 增加, that she firmly 坚固的 believed 9 and rejoiced 欢庆 in his domestic 国内 comforts 安慰. She was not sorry 对不起的, however, to have the recital 演奏会 of them interrupted 打断 by the lady from whom 谁 they sprang. Poor 贫穷的 Charlotte! it was melancholy 愁绪 to leave her to such society 社会! But she had chosen 挑选:choose it with her eyes open; and though evidently 明显地 regretting 后悔 that her visitors 访问者 were to go, she did not seem to ask for compassion 同情. Her home and her house‧keep housekeep:housekeep, her parish 教区 and her poultry 家禽, and all their dependent 依靠的 concerns 关心；涉及, had not yet lost 失去的 their charms 魔力；使陶醉.
At length 长度 the chaise arrived 到达, the trunks 树干 were fastened 系牢 on, the parcels 包袱 placed within 在内, and it was pronounced 发音 to be ready 准备好的. After an affectionate 亲热 parting between the friends 朋友, Elizabeth was attended 出席 to the carriage 运输 by Mr. Collins, and as they walked 走；步行同道 down the garden 菜园；花园 he was commissioning 佣金 her with his best 7 respects 尊重 to all her family, not forgetting 忘记 his thanks 谢谢 for the kindness 善良 he had received 6 at Longbourn in the winter 冬, and his compliments 赞扬 to Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, though unknown 未知. He then handed her in, Maria followed, and the door 门 was on the point of being 10 closed, when he suddenly 突然；猛地，骤然 reminded 使想起 them, with some consternation, that they had hitherto 迄今 forgotten 忘记:forget to leave any mess‧age 信息 for the ladies 女士 at Rosings.
“But,” he added 增加, “you will of course wish 9 to have your humble 谦逊的 respects 尊重 delivered 发表 to them, with your grateful 感激的 thanks 谢谢 for their kindness 善良 to you while you have been here.”
Elizabeth made no objection 反对; the door 门 was then allowed 允许 to be shut 关闭, and the carriage 运输 drove 驾驶:drive off.
“Good gracious 亲切!” cried 哭，叫喊 Maria, after a few minutes 分’ silence 沉默, “it seems but a day or two since we first came! and yet how many things have happened 发生!”
“A great many indeed 的确,” said her companion 同伴 with a sigh 叹.
“We have dined 吃饭 nine 九 times at Rosings, besides 而且 drinking 喝（酒） tea 茶水 there twice 两次! How much I shall 7 have to tell!”
Elizabeth added 增加 privately 私有的, “And how much I shall 8 have to conceal 隐藏!”
Their journey 旅行 was per‧form 执行 without much conversation 交谈, or any alarm 警告; and within 在内 four hours 小时 of their leaving Hunsford they reached 到达 Mr. Gardiner’s house, where they were to remain 留；剩余 a few days.
Jane looked well, and Elizabeth had little opportunity 机会 of studying her spirits 7, amidst 烟雨 the various 各种 engagements 订婚 which the kindness 善良 of her aunt 阿姨 had reserved 预订；保留 for them. But Jane was to go home with her, and at Longbourn there would be leisure 闲暇 enough for observation 意见.
It was not without an effort 努力, mean‧while 同时, that she could wait 等候 even for Longbourn, before she told tell her sister of Mr. Darcy’s proposals 提议. To know that she had the power of revealing 揭示 what would so exceedingly 非常 astonish 使惊讶 Jane, and must, at the same time, so highly gratify 取悦 what‧ever 无论什么 of her own vanity 虚荣 she had not yet been able 能够的 to reason 6 away, was such a temptation 诱惑 to openness 透明度 as nothing could have conquered 征服 but the state of indecision in which she remained 留；剩余 as to the extent 程度 of what she should communicate 通信; and her fear 害怕, if she once entered 进入 on the subject 6, of being 11 hurried 赶紧 into repeating 重复 something of Bingley which might only grieve 悼 her sister further 更远的.

Chapter 39
It was the second week in May, in which the three young ladies 女士 set out together 同时 from Gracechurch Street 街 for the town 城镇 of ——, in Hertfordshire; and, as they drew 绘画:draw near the appointed 任命 inn 小旅馆 where Mr. Bennet’s carriage 运输 was to meet them, they quickly 迅速地 perceived 认为, in token 代币 of the coach‧man 教师‧男人’s punctuality, both Kitty and Lydia looking out of a dining 吃饭-room up stairs 楼梯. These two girls had been above 之上 anhour 小时 in the place, happily 幸福的 employed 雇用 in visiting 访问 an opposite 相对的 milliner, watching 钟表；注视 the sentinel on guard 警卫, and dressing 衣服 a salad 沙拉 and cucumber 黄瓜.
After welcoming 欢迎 their sisters 姐妹, they triumphantly 凯 displayed 显示 a table 桌；表 set out with such cold 寒冷的 meat 肉 as an inn 小旅馆 larder usually affords 买得起, exclaiming 喊叫, “Is not this nice 美好的? Is not this an agree‧able 合适的 surprise 使惊奇?”
“And we mean to treat 治疗；款待 you all,” added 6 Lydia, “but you must lend 把…借给 us the money 钱, for we have just spent 用过的 ours at the shop 商店 out there.” Then, showing her purchases 采购—“Look here, I have bought 购买 this bonnet 帽子. I do not think it is very pretty 漂亮的; but I thought think I might as well buy 购买 it as not. I shall 9 pull 拉 it to pieces 块 as soon as I get home, and see if I can make it up any better well.”
And when her sisters 姐妹 abused 滥用 it as ugly 难看的, she added 7, with perfect 使完善；完美的 unconcern, “Oh! but there were two or three much uglier 难看的 in the shop 商店; and when I have bought 购买 some prettier 漂亮的-coloured satin 缎 to trim 修剪 it with fresh 新鲜的, I think it will be very tolerable. Besides 而且, it will not much signify 表示 what one wears 穿着 this summer 夏, after the ——shire have left 左边；留下；离开 Meryton, and they are going in a fort‧night 两星期.”
“Are they indeed 的确!” cried 哭，叫喊 Elizabeth, with the greatest satisfaction 满足.
“They are going to be encamped near Brighton; and I do so want papa to take us all there for the summer! It would be such a delicious 美味的 scheme 方案; and I dare 敢 say would hardly 几乎不 cost anything 6 at all. Mamma would like to go too of all things! Only think what a miserable 悲惨的 summer else 其他 we shall have!”
“Yes,” thought think Elizabeth, “that would be a delightful 愉快 scheme 方案 indeed 7, and completely do for us at once. Good Heaven 天! Brighton, and a whole 6 campful of soldiers 士兵, to us, who have been over‧set 之上‧放置 already 早已；已经 by one poor 贫穷的 regiment 团 of militia 民兵, and the monthly 月 balls 球 of Meryton!”
“Now I have got get some news 新闻 for you,” said Lydia, as they sat 坐:sit down at table 桌；表. “What do you think? It is excellent 卓越的 news— capital 首都 news—and about a certain person we all like!”
Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and the waiter 侍者 was told tell he need not stay 停留. Lydia laughed 笑, and said:
“Aye, that is just like your formality 礼节 and discretion 慎重. You thought think the waiter must not hear, as if he cared 关心! I dare 敢 say he often hears worse 更坏的 things said than I am going to say. But he is an ugly 难看的 fellow 同伴! I am glad 高兴的 he is gone. I never saw see such a long chin 下巴 in my life. Well, but now for my news 新闻; it is about dear 亲爱的 Wickham; too good for the waiter 侍者, is it not? There is no danger 危险 of Wickham’s marrying 结婚 Mary King 国王. There’s for you! She is gone down to her uncle 叔叔 at Liverpool: gone to stay 停留. Wickham is safe 安全的.”
“And Mary King is safe!” added 8 Elizabeth; “ safe from a connection 连接 imprudent as to for‧tune 命运.”
“She is a great fool 愚人 for going away, if she liked him.”
“But I hope 8 there is no strong 强的 attachment 附件 on either 任一个 side,” said Jane.
“I am sure 确信的 there is not on his. I will answer 答复 for it, he never cared 关心 three straws 稻草 about her—who could about such a nasty 讨厌 little freckled thing?”
Elizabeth was shocked 震惊；震动 to think that, however incapable 无法 of such coarseness of expression 表现 her‧self 她自己, the coarseness of the sentiment 情绪 was little other than her own breast 乳房 had harboured and fancied 想像 liberal 自由主义的!
As soon as all had ate 吃:eat, and the elder 年长的 ones paid pay, the carriage 运输 was ordered; and after some contrivance, the whole 7 party 社交聚会, with all their boxes 盒；耳光, work-bags 袋, and parcels 包袱, and the unwelcome 不受欢迎 addition 加成 of Kitty’s and Lydia’s purchases 采购, were seated 席位 in it.
“How nicely 美好的 we are all crammed 填满 in,” cried 6 Lydia. “I am glad 高兴的 I bought 购买 my bonnet 帽子, if it is only for the fun 乐趣 of having another band‧box 带‧盒；耳光! Well, now let us be quite 相当 comfort‧able 舒服；自在 and snug, and talk 说话 and laugh 笑 all the way home. And in the first place, let us hear what has happened 发生 to you all since you went away. Have you seen see any pleasant 可爱的 men? Have you had any flirting 调情? I was in great hopes 希望 that one of you would have got get a husband 丈夫 before you came back. Jane will be quite 相当 an old maid 女佣 soon, I declare 宣布. She is almost three-and-twenty 二十! Lord 主, how ashamed 惭愧的 I should be of not being 12 married 结婚 before three-and-twenty 二十! My aunt 阿姨 Phillips wants you so to get husbands 丈夫, you can’t think. She says Lizzy had better well have taken Mr. Collins; but I do not think there would have been any fun 乐趣 in it. Lord 主! how I should like to be married before any of you; and then I would chaperon you about to all the balls 球. Dear 亲爱的 me! we had such a good piece 块 of fun 乐趣 the other day at Colonel Forster’s. Kitty and me were to spend 用钱；消磨时间 the day there, and Mrs. Forster promised 允诺 to have a little dance 跳舞 in the evening 傍晚; (by the bye 再见, Mrs. Forster and me are such friends 朋友!) and so she asked the two Harringtons to come, but Harriet was ill 生病, and so Pen 笔 was forced to come by her‧self 她自己; and then, what do you think we did? We dressed 衣服 up Chamberlayne in woman’s clothes 衣服，衣物 on purpose 目的 to pass 走过 for a lady, only think what fun 乐趣! Not a soul 灵魂 knew know of it, but Colonel and Mrs. Forster, and Kitty and me, except 把…除外 my aunt 阿姨, for we were forced to borrow 借 one of her gowns 袍; and you cannot imagine 想象 how well he looked! When Denny, and Wickham, and Pratt, and two or three more many of the men came in, they did not know him in the least 最小的. Lord 主! how I laughed 笑! and so did Mrs. Forster. I thought think I should have died 死亡. And that made the men suspect 怀疑；嫌疑犯 something, and then they soon found find out what was the matter.”
With such kinds of histories 历史 of their parties 社交聚会 and good jokes 笑话, did Lydia, assisted 帮助；协助；援助 by Kitty’s hints 暗示 and additions 加成, endeavour to amuse 使人发笑 her companions 同伴 all the way to Longbourn. Elizabeth listened 倾听 as little as she could, but there was no escaping 逃脱 the frequent 频繁的 mention 提到 of Wickham’s name.
Their reception 招待会 at home was most many kind. Mrs. Bennet rejoiced 欢庆 to see Jane in undiminished beauty 美好; and more many than once during dinner 正餐 did Mr. Bennet say voluntarily 自行 to Elizabeth:
“I am glad 高兴的 you are come back, Lizzy.”
Their party 社交聚会 in the dining 吃饭-room was large, for almost all the Lucases came to meet Maria and hear the news 新闻; and various 各种 were the subjects 主题 that occupied 占据 them: Lady Lucas was inquiring 打听 of Maria, after the welfare 津贴，福利 and poultry 家禽 of her eldest 最年长 daughter 女儿; Mrs. Bennet was doubly 双的 engaged 从事, on one hand collecting 收集 an account 账；解释 of the present fashions 时尚 from Jane, who sat 坐:sit some way below 在下面 her, and, on the other, retailing 零售 them all to the younger Lucases; and Lydia, in a voice 嗓音 rather louder 响亮的 than any other person’s, was enumerating the various 各种 pleasures 愉快 of the morning 8 to any‧body 任何人 who would hear her.
“Oh! Mary,” said she, “I wish 10 you had gone with us, for we had such fun 乐趣! As we went along 一起, Kitty and I drew 绘画:draw up the blinds 失明的, and pretended 假装 there was nobody 没有人 in the coach 教练; and I should have gone so all the way, if Kitty had not been sick 病；恶心; and when we got get to the George, I do think we behaved 表现 very hand‧some 英俊, for we treated 治疗；款待 the other three with the nicest 美好的 cold 寒冷的 luncheon 午餐 in the world, and if you would have gone, we would have treated you too. And then when we came away it was such fun 乐趣! I thought think we never should have got get into the coach 教练. I was ready 准备好的 to die 死亡 of laughter 笑. And then we were so merry 愉快的 all the way home! we talked 说话 and laughed 笑 so loud 响亮的, that any‧body 任何人 might have heard hear us ten 十 miles 英里 off!”
To this Mary very gravely 坟墓；严重的 replied 回答, “Far be it from me, my dear 亲爱的 sister, to depreciate such pleasures 愉快! They would doubt‧less 毫无疑问， be congenial with the generality 概论 of female 女性的 minds. But I confess 供认 they would have no charms 魔力；使陶醉 for me—I should infinitely 无限地 prefer 更喜欢 a book 书.”
But of this answer 答复 Lydia heard hear not a word. She seldom 很少 listened 倾听 to any‧body 任何人 for more many than half 一半的 a minute 分, and never attended 出席 to Mary at all.
In the after‧noon 下午 Lydia was urgent 急迫的 with the rest 休息，其余 of the girls to walk 8 to Meryton, and to see how every‧body 每人 went on; but Elizabeth steadily 稳定的 opposed 反对 the scheme 方案. It should not be said that the Miss 9 Bennets could not be at home half 一半的 a day before they were in pursuit 追求 of the officers 军官；指挥官. There was another reason 7 too for her opposition 反对. She dreaded 恐惧 seeing Mr. Wickham again, and was resolved 解决 to avoid 避开 it as long as possible. The comfort 安慰 to her of the regiment 团’s approaching 靠近 removal 切除 was indeed 8 beyond 超过 expression 表现. In a fort‧night 两星期 they were to go—and once gone, she hoped 希望 there could be nothing more many to plague 鼠疫 her on his account 账；解释.
She had not been many hours 小时 at home before she found find that the Brighton scheme 方案, of which Lydia had given give them a hint 暗示 at the inn 小旅馆, was under frequent 频繁的 discussion 讨论 between her parents 父母. Elizabeth saw see directly that her father had not the smallest intention 意图 of yielding 屈服; but his answers 答复 were at the same time so vague 模糊 and equivocal, that her mother 7, though often disheartened, had never yet despaired 绝望 of succeeding 成功 at last.

Elizabeth’s impatience 不耐烦 to acquaint 认识 Jane with what had happened 发生 could no longer be over‧come 战胜; and at length 长度, resolving 解决 to sup‧press 压制 every particular 特别的 in which her sister was concerned 关心；涉及, and preparing 准备 her to be surprised 使惊奇, she related 相关 to her the next morning 9 the chief 主要；首领 of the scene 场面 between Mr. Darcy and her‧self 她自己.
Miss 10 Bennet’s astonishment 惊愕 was soon lessened 变少；减轻 by the strong 强的 sisterly 姐妹 partiality which made any admiration 钦佩 of Elizabeth appear 6 perfectly 完美地，完满地 natural 自然; and all surprise 使惊奇 was shortly 短的 lost 失去的 in other feelings. She was sorry 对不起的 that Mr. Darcy should have delivered 发表 his sentiments 情绪 in a manner 11 so little suited 套房 to recommend 推荐 them; but still more many was she grieved 悼 for the unhappiness 不幸 which her sister’s refusal 拒绝 must have given give him.
“His being 13 so sure 确信的 of succeeding 成功 was wrong 有毛病的,” said she, “and certainly ought 应当 not to have appeared 出现; but consider how much it must increase his disappointment 失望!”
“Indeed 9,” replied 回答 Elizabeth, “I am heartily 爽朗 sorry 对不起的 for him; but he has other feelings, which will probably 很可能；大概 soon drive 驾驶 away his regard 9 for me. You do not blame 指责 me, however, for refusing 拒绝 him?”
“ Blame you! Oh, no.”
“But you blame me for having spoken 口头讲的 so warmly 暖和的 of Wickham?”
“No—I do not know that you were wrong 有毛病的 in saying what you did.”
“But you will know it, when I tell you what happened 发生 the very next day.”
She then spoke 讲:speak of the letter, repeating 重复 the whole 8 of its contents 内容 as far as they concerned 关心；涉及 George Wickham. What a stroke 一击;轻抚 was this for poor 贫穷的 Jane! who would willingly 甘心 have gone through the world without believing 信任 that so much wickedness existed 存在 in the whole 9 race 赛跑 of man‧kind 人类, as was here collected 收集 in one individual 单个. Nor 也不 was Darcy’s vindication, though grateful 感激的 to her feelings, cap‧able 能 of consoling 安慰 her for such discovery 发现. Most many ear‧nest 热心的 did she labour to prove 证明 the probability 可能性 of error 错误, and seek 寻求 to clear the one without involving 参与，包括 the other.
“This will not do,” said Elizabeth; “you never will be able 能够的 to make both of them good for anything 7. Take your choice 选择, but you must be satisfied 使满意 with only one. There is but such a quantity 量 of merit 值得 between them; just enough to make one good sort 分类 of man; and of late it has been shifting 转移 about pretty 漂亮的 much. For my part, I am inclined 倾斜 to believe 7 it all Darcy’s; but you shall do as you choose 挑选.”
It was some time, however, before a smile 微笑 could be extorted from Jane.
“I do not know when I have been more many shocked 震惊；震动,” said she. “Wickham so very bad 坏的! It is almost past 过去的 belief 信. And poor 贫穷的 Mr. Darcy! Dear 亲爱的 Lizzy, only consider what he must have suffered 受痛苦. Such a disappointment 失望! and with the knowledge 知识；了解 of your ill 生病 opinion 8, too! and having to relate 相关 such a thing of his sister! It is really too distressing 苦难. I am sure 确信的 you must feel it so.”
“Oh! no, my regret 后悔 and compassion 同情 are all done away by seeing you so full 满的 of both. I know you will do him such ample 充足 just‧ice 正义, that I am growing 生长；种植 every moment 8 more many unconcerned and indifferent 冷漠. Your profusion makes me saving 节省; and if you lament 哀叹 over him much longer, my heart 心 will be as light as a feather 羽毛.”
“ Poor 贫穷的 Wickham! there is such an expression 表现 of goodness 善良 in his countenance 面容! such an openness 透明度 and gentleness in his manner!”
“There certainly was some great mismanagement in the education 教育 of those two young men. One has got get all the goodness 善良, and the other all the appearance 外貌 of it.”
“I never thought think Mr. Darcy so deficient 匮乏 in the appearance of it as you used to do.”
“And yet I meant mean to be uncommonly 罕见 clever 聪明的 in taking so decided 决定 a dislike 反感 to him, without any reason 8. It is such a spur 骨刺 to one’s genius 天才, such an opening for wit 风趣, to have a dislike 反感 of that kind. One may be continually 不断 abusive 滥用的 without saying anything 8 just; but one cannot always be laughing 笑 at a man without now and then stumbling 绊倒 on something witty 机智.”
“Lizzy, when you first read that letter, I am sure 确信的 you could not treat 治疗；款待 the matter as you do now.”
“Indeed 10, I could not. I was uncomfortable 不舒服 enough, I may say unhappy 不快乐. And with no one to speak 讲 to about what I felt feel, no Jane to comfort 安慰 me and say that I had not been so very weak 柔弱的 and vain 徒劳的 and nonsensical as I knew know I had! Oh! how I wanted you!”
“How unfortunate 不幸的 that you should have used such very strong 6 expressions 表现 in speaking 讲 of Wickham to Mr. Darcy, for now they do appear 7 wholly 全 undeserved.”
“Certainly. But the misfortune 不幸 of speaking with bitterness 苦味 is a most many natural 自然 consequence 后果 of the prejudices 成见 I had been encouraging 鼓励. There is one point on which I want your advice 劝告. I want to be told tell whether 是否 I ought 应当, or ought not, to make our acquaintances 熟人 in general under‧stand 懂 Wickham’s character 11.”
Miss 11 Bennet paused 暂停 a little, and then replied 6, “ Surely 肯定地，想必，无疑地 there can be no occasion 机会 for exposing 暴露 him so dreadfully 可怕. What is your opinion 9?”
“That it ought not to be attempted 试图. Mr. Darcy has not authorised me to make his communication 通讯 public. On the contrary 相反, every particular 特别的 relative 相关的 to his sister was meant mean to be kept keep as much as possible to myself 我; and if I endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest 休息，其余 of his conduct 进行, who will believe 8 me? The general prejudice 成见 against Mr. Darcy is so violent 猛烈, that it would be the death 死亡 of half 一半的 the good people in Meryton to attempt 试图 to place him in an amiable 可亲 light. I am not equal 相等的 to it. Wickham will soon be gone; and therefore 因此 it will not signify 表示 to anyone 任何人 here what he really is. Some time hence 因此 it will be all found find out, and then we may laugh 笑 at their stupidity 糊涂事 in not knowing it before. At present I will say nothing about it.”
“You are quite 相当 right. To have his errors 错误 made public might ruin 破坏 him for ever 8. He is now, perhaps 6, sorry 对不起的 for what he has done, and anxious 焦急的 to re-establish 建立 a character. We must not make him desperate 殊死.”
The tumult of Elizabeth’s mind was allayed by this conversation 交谈. She had got get rid 使摆脱 of two of the secrets 秘密 which had weighed 称重 on her for a fort‧night 两星期, and was certain of a willing listener 倾听 in Jane, when‧ever 随时 she might wish 11 to talk 说话 again of either 任一个. But there was still something lurking 匿伏 behind 之后, of which prudence forbade 禁止:forbid the disclosure 泄露. She dared 敢 not relate 相关 the other half 6 of Mr. Darcy’s letter, nor 7 explain 讲解 to her sister how sincerely 真诚的 she had been valued by her friend 9. Here was knowledge 知识；了解 in which no one could par‧take 平价‧拿; and she was sensible 明智 that nothing less little than a perfect 使完善；完美的 under‧stand 懂 between the parties 社交聚会 could justify 为…辩护；证明…正当；是…的正当理由 her in throwing 投掷 off this last encumbrance of mystery 秘密. “And then,” said she, “if that very improbable 难以置信 event 事件 should ever 9 take place, I shall merely 仅仅，只，不过 be able 能够的 to tell what Bingley may tell in a much more many agree‧able 合适的 manner himself. The liberty 自由 of communication 通讯 cannot be mine 我的 till 8 it has lost 失去的 all its value!”
She was now, on being settled 解决；定居 at home, at leisure 闲暇 to observe 观察 the real state of her sister’s spirits 8. Jane was not happy 幸福的. She still cherished 珍视 a very tender 纤弱的 affect‧ion 感情 for Bingley. Having never even fancied 想像 her‧self 她自己 in love 7 before, her regard had all the warmth 温暖 of first attachment 附件, and, from her age 年龄 and disposition 性格, greater steadiness than most many first attachments 附件 often boast 自夸; and so fervently did she value his remembrance 纪念, and prefer 更喜欢 him to every other man, that all her good sense, and all her attention 注意 to the feelings of her friends 朋友, were requisite 必要 to check 检查 the indulgence 放纵 of those regrets 后悔 which must have been injurious to her own health 健康状况 and their tranquillity.
“Well, Lizzy,” said Mrs. Bennet one day, “what is your opinion 10 now of this sad 悲哀的 business of Jane’s? For my part, I am determined 决心 never to speak 讲 of it again to any‧body 任何人. I told tell my sister Phillips so the other day. But I cannot find out that Jane saw see anything 9 of him in London. Well, he is a very undeserving young man—and I do not suppose 假定 there’s the least 最小的 chance 机会 in the world of her ever getting him now. There is no talk 说话 of his coming to Netherfield again in the summer 夏; and I have inquired 打听 of every‧body 每人, too, who is likely 可能的 to know.”
“I do not believe 9 he will ever live at Netherfield any more many.”
“Oh well! it is just as he chooses 挑选. Nobody 没有人 wants him to come. Though I shall always say he used my daughter 女儿 extremely 非常；极端；极其 ill 生病; and if I was her, I would not have put up with it. Well, my comfort 安慰 is, I am sure 确信的 Jane will die 死亡 of a broken 破碎的 heart 心; and then he will be sorry 8 for what he has done.”
But as Elizabeth could not receive 收到 comfort 安慰 from any such expectation 期望, she made no answer 答复.
“Well, Lizzy,” continued her mother 8, soon after‧ward 之后, “and so the Collinses live very comfort‧able 舒服；自在, do they? Well, well, I only hope 9 it will last. And what sort 分类 of table 桌；表 do they keep? Charlotte is an excellent 卓越的 manager 经理；主管, I dare 敢 say. If she is half 7 as sharp 敏锐的 as her mother 9, she is saving 节省 enough. There is nothing extravagant 靡 in their house‧keep housekeep:housekeep, I dare say.”
“No, nothing at all.”
“A great deal 很多；对付 of good management 管理, depend 依靠 upon it. Yes, yes, they will take care 关心 not to outrun their income 收入. They will never be distressed 苦难 for money 钱. Well, much good may it do them! And so, I suppose 假定, they often talk 说话 of having Longbourn when your father is dead 死去的. They look upon it as quite 相当 their own, I dare 敢 say, when‧ever 随时 that happens 发生.”
“It was a subject 7 which they could not mention 提到 before me.”
“No; it would have been strange 奇怪；陌生 if they had; but I make no doubt 怀疑 they often talk 说话 of it between themselves 他们自己. Well, if they can be easy 容易的 with an estate 房地产 that is not lawfully 合法 their own, so much the better well. I should be ashamed 惭愧的 of having one that was only entailed 意味着 on me.”

Chapter 41
The first week of their return 7 was soon gone. The second began begin. It was the last of the regiment 团’s stay 停留 in Meryton, and all the young ladies 女士 in the neighbourhood were drooping apace. The dejection was almost universal 普遍的. The elder 年长的 Miss Bennets alone 单独的 were still able 6 to eat 吃, drink 喝（酒）, and sleep 睡, and pursue 追求 the usual course of their employments 雇用. Very frequently 频繁地，经常地 were they reproached 责备 for this insensibility by Kitty and Lydia, whose 谁的 own misery 痛苦 was extreme 极端的, and who could not comprehend 理解 such hard 硬；困难的-heartedness in any of the family.
“Good Heaven 天! what is to become of us? What are we to do?” would they often exclaim 喊叫 in the bitterness 苦味 of woe 荣辱与共. “How can you be smiling 微笑 so, Lizzy?”
Their affectionate 亲热 mother shared 股 all their grief 哀思; she remembered 记得 what she had her‧self 她自己 endured 忍受 on a similar 类似 occasion 机会, five-and-twenty 二十 years ago 以前.
“I am sure 6,” said she, “I cried 7 for two days together 同时 when Colonel Miller’s regiment 团 went away. I thought think I should have broken 破碎的 my heart 7.”
“I am sure 7 I shall break 破；断 mine 我的,” said Lydia.
“If one could but go to Brighton!” observed 观察 Mrs. Bennet.
“Oh, yes!—if one could but go to Brighton! But papa is so disagree‧able 不同意‧能够的.”
“A little sea 海-bathing 沐浴 would set me up for‧ever 永远.”
“And my aunt 阿姨 Phillips is sure 8 it would do me a great deal 很多；对付 of good,” added 9 Kitty.
Such were the kind of lamentations resounding 回响 perpetually 永动的 through Longbourn House. Elizabeth tried to be diverted 转移 by them; but all sense of pleasure 愉快 was lost 6 in shame 羞愧. She felt feel anew 重新 the just‧ice 正义 of Mr. Darcy’s objections 反对; and never had she been so much disposed 部署 to pardon 宽恕；说啥？ his interference 干涉 in the views 看法 of his friend.
But the gloom 愁云 of Lydia’s prospect 展望 was shortly 短的 cleared away; for she received 7 an invitation 邀请 from Mrs. Forster, the wife 妻子 of the colonel 陆军上校 of the regiment 团, to accompany 陪 her to Brighton. This invaluable 无价 friend was a very young woman, and very lately 近来 married 结婚. A resemblance 相似 in good humour and good spirits 9 had recommended 推荐 her and Lydia to each other, and out of their three months 月’ acquaintance 熟人 they had been intimate 亲密 two.
The rapture of Lydia on this occasion 机会, her adoration of Mrs. Forster, the delight 快乐 of Mrs. Bennet, and the mortification of Kitty, are scarcely 6 to be described 描写. Wholly inattentive to her sister’s feelings, Lydia flew 飞；苍蝇:fly about the house in rest‧less 不安 ecstasy 狂喜, calling for every‧one 每人’s congratulations 祝贺, and laughing 笑 and talking 说话 with more many violence 暴力 than ever; whilst 同时 the luck‧less 运气‧少 Kitty continued in the parlour repined at her fate 命运 in terms 学期 as unreasonable 不合理 as her accent 口音 was peevish.
“I cannot see why Mrs. Forster should not ask me as well as Lydia,” said she, “Though I am not her particular 特别的 friend. I have just as much right to be asked as she has, and more many too, for I am two years older.”
In vain 徒劳的 did Elizabeth attempt 试图 to make her reason‧able 合理的, and Jane to make her resigned 辞职. As for Elizabeth her‧self 她自己, this invitation 邀请 was so far from exciting 使兴奋 in her the same feelings as in her mother and Lydia, that she considered it as the death 死亡 war‧rant 保证 of all possibility 可能性 of common 普通的 sense for the latter 后者的; and detestable as such a step 步；走 must make her were it known know, she could not help secretly 秘密 advising 劝告 her father not to let her go. She represented 代表 to him all the improprieties of Lydia’s general behaviour, the little advantage 有利条件 she could derive 派生 from the friend‧ship 友情 of such a woman as Mrs. Forster, and the probability 可能性 of her being yet more many imprudent with such a companion 同伴 at Brighton, where the temptations 诱惑 must be greater than at home. He heard hear her attentively 注意的, and then said:
“Lydia will never be easy 容易的 until she has exposed 暴露 her‧self 她自己 in some public place or other, and we can never expect her to do it with so little expense 费用 or inconvenience 不方便 to her family as under the present circumstances 环境.”
“If you were aware 知道的,” said Elizabeth, “of the very great disadvantage 坏处 to us all which must arise 产生 from the public notice 注意 of Lydia’s unguarded and imprudent manner—nay, which has already 早已；已经 arisen 产生:arise from it, I am sure 9 you would judge 审判 differently 不同的 in the affair 事情.”
“ Already arisen?” repeated 重复 Mr. Bennet. “What, has she frightened 使惊恐 away some of your lovers 情人? Poor 贫穷的 little Lizzy! But do not be cast 投 down. Such squeamish youths 年轻 as cannot bear 生；熊 to be connected 连接 with a little absurdity are not worth 值得的 a regret 后悔. Come, let me see the list 清单 of pitiful fellows 同伴 who have been kept keep aloof by Lydia’s folly 蠢事.”
“Indeed 11 you are mistaken 错误. I have no such injuries 伤 to resent 愤恨. It is not of particular 特别的, but of general evils 邪恶的, which I am now complaining 抱怨. Our importance 重要性, our respect‧ability 尊重‧能力 in the world must be affected 影响 by the wild 野生的 volatility 挥发性, the assurance 保证 and disdain 蔑视 of all restraint 克制 which mark 斑点；标注 Lydia’s character. Excuse 原谅 me, for I must speak 讲 plainly 平原；明显. If you, my dear 8 father, will not take the trouble 麻烦 of checking 检查 her exuberant spirits, and of teaching 教 her that her present pursuits 追求 are not to be the business of her life, she will soon be beyond 超过 the reach 到达 of amendment 修订. Her character will be fixed 固定, and she will, at six‧teen 十六, be the most many determined 决心 flirt 调情 that ever made her‧self 她自己 or her family ridiculous 荒谬; a flirt 调情, too, in the worst 生病:ill and meanest degree 度 of flirtation; without any attraction 吸引 beyond 超过 youth 年轻 and a tolerable person; and, from the ignorance 无知 and emptiness 空虚 of her mind, wholly 全 unable 无法 to ward off any portion 一部分；一份 of that universal 普遍的 con‧tempt 鄙视 which her rage 愤怒 for admiration 钦佩 will excite 使兴奋. In this danger 危险 Kitty also is comprehended 理解. She will follow wherever 随地 Lydia leads. Vain 徒劳的, ignorant 愚昧, idle 无意义的, and absolutely 完全地；绝对地 uncontrolled! Oh! my dear 9 father, can you suppose 假定 it possible that they will not be censured 谴责 and despised 讨厌 wherever they are known know, and that their sisters 姐妹 will not be often involved 参与，包括 in the disgrace 耻辱?”
Mr. Bennet saw see that her whole heart 8 was in the subject 8, and affectionately 亲热 taking her hand said in reply 回答:
“Do not make your‧self 你自己 uneasy 不安, my love 8. Wherever you and Jane are known know you must be respected 尊重 and valued; and you will not appear 8 to less little advantage 有利条件 for having a couple 两；双 of—or I may say, three—very silly 愚蠢 sisters 姐妹. We shall have no peace 和平 at Longbourn if Lydia does not go to Brighton. Let her go, then. Colonel Forster is a sensible 明智 man, and will keep her out of any real mischief 恶作剧; and she is luckily 幸 too poor 7 to be an object 物体；反对 of prey 猎物 to any‧body 任何人. At Brighton she will be of less little importance 重要性 even as a common 普通的 flirt 调情 than she has been here. The officers 军官；指挥官 will find women better well worth 值得的 their notice 注意. Let us hope, therefore 因此, that her being there may teach 教 her her own insignificance. At any rate 速度, she cannot grow 生长；种植 many degrees 度 worse 更坏的, without authorising us to lock 锁 her up for the rest 休息，其余 of her life.”
With this answer 6 Elizabeth was forced to be content 内容; but her own opinion 11 continued the same, and she left 7 him disappointed 使失望 and sorry 9. It was not in her nature, however, to increase her vexations by dwelling 住 on them. She was confident 确信的 of having per‧form 执行 her duty 职责, and to fret 烦恼 over unavoidable 不免 evils 邪恶的, or augment 增加 them by anxiety 焦虑, was no part of her disposition 性格.
Had Lydia and her mother known know the substance 物质 of her conference 会议 with her father, their indignation 愤慨 would hardly 几乎不 have found find expression 表现 in their united volubility. In Lydia’s imagination 想像力, a visit 访问 to Brighton comprised 包括 every possibility 可能性 of earthly 地球 happiness 幸福. She saw see, with the creative 有创造力的；创造性的；有创意的 eye of fancy 想像, the streets 街 of that gay 快乐的bathing 沐浴-place covered 覆盖 with officers 军官；指挥官. She saw see her‧self 她自己 the object 7 of attention 注意, to tens 十 and to scores 得分了 of them at present unknown 未知. She saw see all the glories 光荣 of the camp 营地—its tents 帐篷 stretched 伸展 forth 向前 in beauteous uniformity 均匀性 of lines, crowded 人群；拥挤 with the young and the gay 快乐的, and dazzling 炫 with scar‧let 猩红; and, to complete the view 看法, she saw see her‧self 她自己 seated 席位 beneath 之下 a tent 帐篷, tenderly 纤弱的 flirting 调情 with at least 6 six 6 officers 军官；指挥官 at once.
Had she known know her sister sought to tear 撕裂；泪 her from such prospects 展望 and such realities 现实 as these, what would have been her sensations 感觉? They could have been understood 懂:understand only by her mother, who might have felt feel nearly the same. Lydia’s going to Brighton was all that consoled 安慰 her for her melancholy 愁绪 conviction 定罪 of her husband 丈夫’s never intending 意欲 to go there himself.
But they were entirely 完全；彻底；完整地 ignorant 愚昧 of what had passed 8; and their raptures continued, with little inter‧mission 间‧工作, to the very day of Lydia’s leaving home.
Elizabeth was now to see Mr. Wickham for the last time. Having been frequently 频繁地，经常地 in company with him since her return 8, agitation 搅动 was pretty 漂亮的 well over; the agitations 搅动 of former 以前的 partiality entirely so. She had even learnt 学习:learn to detect 发现，察觉，看出, in the very gentleness which had first delighted 快乐 her, an affectation and a sameness to disgust 反感 and weary 厌倦. In his present behaviour to her‧self 她自己, more‧over 再者, she had a fresh 新鲜的 source 资源 of displeasure, for the inclination 倾角 he soon testified 作证 of renewing 更新 those intentions 意图 which had marked 斑点；标注 the early part of their acquaintance 熟人 could only serve 服务；（为…）工作, after what had since passed 9, to provoke 惹 her. She lost 7 all concern 关心；涉及 for him in finding her‧self 她自己 thus 于是 selected 选择 as the object 8 of such idle 无意义的 and frivolous gallantry; and while she steadily 稳定的 repressed 抑 it, could not but feel the rep‧roof 代表‧屋顶 contained 包含 in his believing 信任, that however long, and for what‧ever 无论什么 cause 原因；引起, his attentions 注意 had been withdrawn, her vanity 虚荣 would be gratified 取悦, and her preference 偏爱 secured 安全 at any time by their renewal 复兴.
On the very last day of the regiment 团’s remaining 留；剩余 at Meryton, he dined 吃饭, with other of the officers 军官；指挥官, at Longbourn; and so little was Elizabeth disposed 部署 to part from him in good humour, that on his making some inquiry 调查 as to the manner in which her time had passed at Hunsford, she mentioned 提到 Colonel Fitzwilliam’s and Mr. Darcy’s having both spent 用过的 three weeks at Rosings, and asked him, if he was acquainted 认识 with the former 以前的.
He looked surprised 使惊奇, displeased, alarmed 警告; but with a moment 9’s recollection 回忆 and a returning 回转 smile 微笑, replied 7, that he had formerly 以前的 seen see him often; and, after observing 观察 that he was a very gentleman‧like 先生‧喜欢；象 man, asked her how she had liked him. Her answer 7 was warmly 暖和的 in his favour. With an air 天空 of indifference 漠不关心 he soon after‧ward 之后 added:
“How long did you say he was at Rosings?”
“Nearly three weeks.”
“And you saw see him frequently 频繁地，经常地?”
“Yes, almost every day.”
“His manners 方式 are very different 不同的 from his cousin 堂兄妹’s.”
“Yes, very different 6. But I think Mr. Darcy improves 改进 upon acquaintance 熟人.”
“Indeed!” cried 8 Mr. Wickham with a look which did not escape 逃脱 her. “And pray 祈祷, may I ask?—” But checking 检查 himself, he added, in a gayer 快乐的 tone 音, “Is it in address 地址 that he improves 改进? Has he deigned to add 增加 aught of civility to his ordinary 普通的 style 样式?—for I dare 敢 not hope,” he continued in a lower 低的 and more many serious 严肃的 tone 音, “that he is improved 改进 in essentials 基本的.”
“Oh, no!” said Elizabeth. “In essentials, I believe, he is very much what he ever was.”
While she spoke 讲:speak, Wickham looked as if scarcely 7 knowing whether 是否 to rejoice 欢庆 over her words, or to distrust 怀疑 their meaning. There was a something in her countenance 面容 which made him listen 倾听 with an apprehensive and anxious 焦急的 attention 7, while she added:
“When I said that he improved 改进 on acquaintance 熟人, I did not mean that his mind or his manners 6 were in a state of improvement 起色, but that, from knowing him better well, his disposition 性格 was better well understood 懂:understand.”
Wickham’s alarm 警告 now appeared 出现 in a heightened 变高 complex‧ion 肤色 and agitated 激荡 look; for a few minutes 分 he was silent 沉默的, till 9, shaking 摇晃 off his embarrassment 困窘, he turned to her again, and said in the gentlest 温和的 of accents 口音:
“You, who so well know my feeling towards Mr. Darcy, will readily 准备好的 comprehend 理解 how sincerely 真诚的 I must rejoice 欢庆 that he is wise 明智的；聪明的 enough to assume 承担 even the appearance 外貌 of what is right. His pride 自尊, in that direction 方向, may be of service, if not to himself, to many others 别的, for it must only deter 阻止 him from such foul 犯规 misconduct 处理不当 as I have suffered 受痛苦 by. I only fear 害怕 that the sort 7 of cautiousness to which you, I imagine 想象, have been alluding 暗示, is merely 仅仅，只，不过 adopted 采用；收养 on his visits 访问 to his aunt 阿姨, of whose 谁的 good opinion and judgement he stands much in awe 威严. His fear 害怕 of her has always operated 运转, I know, when they were together 同时; and a good deal 很多；对付 is to be imputed to his wish of forwarding 前进地 the match 比赛；火柴 with Miss de Bourgh, which I am certain he has very much at heart 9.”
Elizabeth could not repress 抑 a smile 微笑 at this, but she answered 答复 only by a slight 微小的 inclination 倾角 of the head. She saw see that he wanted to engage 从事 her on the old subject 9 of his grievances 不平, and she was in no humour to indulge 放纵 him. The rest 休息，其余 of the evening 7 passed with the appearance 外貌, on his side, of usual cheerfulness, but with no further 更远的 attempt 试图 to distinguish 区分 Elizabeth; and they parted at last with mutual 相互 civility, and possibly a mutual 相互 desire 希望 of never meeting again.
When the party 社交聚会 broke 破；断:break up, Lydia returned 回转 with Mrs. Forster to Meryton, from whence they were to set out early the next morning. The separation 分离 between her and her family was rather noisy 嘈杂 than pathetic 可怜. Kitty was the only one who shed tears 撕裂；泪; but she did weep from vexation and envy 嫉妒. Mrs. Bennet was diffuse 扩散 in her good wishes 希望 for the felicity of her daughter 女儿, and impressive 有声有色 in her injunctions 禁令 that she should not miss the opportunity 机会 of enjoying 享有 her‧self 她自己 as much as possible— advice 劝告 which there was every reason 9 to believe would be well attended 出席 to; and in the clamorous happiness 幸福 of Lydia her‧self 她自己 in bidding 出价 fare‧well 告别, the more many gentle 温和的 adieus of her sisters 6 were uttered 说出 without being heard hear.

Chapter 42
Had Elizabeth’s opinion been all drawn 绘画:draw from her own family, she could not have formed a very pleasing 请;讨人喜欢 opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic 国内 comfort 安慰. Her father, captivated 着迷 by youth 年轻 and beauty 美好, and that appearance 外貌 of good humour which youth and beauty generally give, had married 结婚 a woman whose 谁的 weak 柔弱的 under‧stand 懂 and illiberal mind had very early in their marriage 结婚 put an end to all real affect‧ion 感情 for her. Respect 尊重, esteem 尊重, and confidence 信心 had vanished 消失 for ever; and all his views 看法 of domestic 国内 happiness 幸福 were overthrown. But Mr. Bennet was not of a disposition 性格 to seek 寻求 comfort 安慰 for the disappointment 失望 which his own imprudence had brought bring on, in any of those pleasures 愉快 which too often console 安慰 the unfortunate 不幸的 for their folly 蠢事 or their vice 副职的；副的. He was fond 喜欢的 of the country and of books 书; and from these tastes 品尝 had arisen 产生:arise his principal 主要 enjoyments 享受. To his wife 妻子 he was very little other‧wise 否则 indebted 感激的, than as her ignorance 无知 and folly 蠢事 had contributed 有助于 to his amusement 娱乐. This is not the sort 8 of happiness 幸福 which a man would in general wish to owe 欠…债 to his wife; but where other powers of entertainment 娱乐 are wanting, the true 真正的 philosopher 哲学家 will derive 派生 benefit 效益 from such as are given give.
Elizabeth, however, had never been blind 失明的 to the impropriety of her father’s behaviour as a husband 丈夫. She had always seen see it with pain 痛苦; but respecting 尊重 his abilities 能力, and grateful 感激的 for his affectionate 亲热 treatment 治疗 of her‧self 她自己, she endeavoured to forget 忘记 what she could not over‧look 俯瞰, and to banish 放逐 from her thoughts that continual 持续 breach 突破口 of conjugal obligation 义务；责任；职责 and decorum which, in exposing 暴露 his wife 妻子 to the con‧tempt 鄙视 of her own children, was so highly reprehensible. But she had never felt feel so strongly 强烈 as now the disadvantages 坏处 which must attend 出席 the children of so unsuitable 不当 a marriage 结婚, nor 8 ever been so fully 充分 aware 知道的 of the evils 邪恶的 arising 产生 from so ill 生病-judged 审判 a direction 方向 of talents 天赋; talents 天赋, which, rightly used, might at least 7 have preserved 保护；保持原状 the respect‧ability 尊重‧能力 of his daughters 女儿, even if incapable 无法 of enlarging 放大 the mind of his wife 妻子.
When Elizabeth had rejoiced 欢庆 over Wickham’s departure 离开 she found find little other cause 原因；引起 for satisfaction 满足 in the loss 损失 of the regiment 团. Their parties 社交聚会 abroad 到国外 were less little varied 变化 than before, and at home she had a mother and sister whose 10 constant 不变 repinings at the dullness of everything 10 around them threw 投掷:throw a real gloom 愁云 over their domestic 国内 circle 圆; and, though Kitty might in time regain 恢复 her natural 自然 degree 度 of sense, since the disturbers of her brain 脑 were removed 去掉, her other sister, from whose 11 disposition 性格 greater evil 邪恶的 might be apprehended 拘押, was likely 可能的 to be hardened 使硬化 in all her folly 蠢事 and assurance 保证 by a situation 处境 of such double 双的 danger 危险 as a watering-place and a camp 营地. Upon the whole, therefore 因此, she found find, what has been some‧time 有时 found find before, that an event 事件 to which she had been looking with impatient 不耐烦 desire 希望 did not, in taking place, bring all the satisfaction 满足 she had promised 允诺 her‧self 她自己. It was consequently 所以 necessary 必要的 to name some other period 时期，时间 for the commencement 开始 of actual 真实的 felicity—to have some other point on which her wishes 希望 and hopes 希望 might be fixed 固定, and by again enjoying 享有 the pleasure 愉快 of anticipation 预期, console 安慰 her‧self 她自己 for the present, and prepare 准备 for another disappointment 失望. Her tour 旅行 to the Lakes was now the object 9 of her happiest thoughts; it was her best 8 consolation 安慰 for all the uncomfortable 不舒服 hours 小时 which the discontentedness of her mother and Kitty made inevitable 必然; and could she have included Jane in the scheme 方案, every part of it would have been perfect 使完善；完美的.
“But it is fortunate 侥幸的,” thought think she, “that I have something to wish for. Were the whole arrangement 安排 complete, my disappointment 失望 would be certain. But here, by carrying 运送；支撑 with me one cease‧less 停止‧少 source 资源 of regret 后悔 in my sister’s absence 缺席, I may reason‧able 合理的 hope to have all my expectations 期望 of pleasure 愉快 realised. A scheme 方案 of which every part promises 允诺 delight 快乐 can never be successful 成功; and general disappointment 失望 is only warded 病房 off by the defence of some little peculiar 奇怪的 vexation.”
When Lydia went away she promised 允诺 to write very often and very minutely 分 to her mother and Kitty; but her letters 信 were always long expected, and always very short 短的. Those to her mother contained 包含 little else 其他 than that they were just returned 回转 from the library 图书馆, where such and such officers 军官；指挥官 had attended 出席 them, and where she had seen see such beautiful 美丽 ornaments 装饰 as made her quite 6 wild 野生的; that she had a new gown 袍, or a new parasol, which she would have described 描写 more many fully 充分, but was obliged 责成 to leave off in a violent 猛烈 hurry 赶紧, as Mrs. Forster called her, and they were going off to the camp 营地; and from her correspondence 对应 with her sister, there was still less little to be learnt 学习:learn—for her letters 信 to Kitty, though rather longer, were much too full 满的 of lines under the words to be made public.
After the first fort‧night 两星期 or three weeks of her absence 缺席, health 健康状况, good humour, and cheerfulness began begin to reappear 再现 at Longbourn. Everything 11 wore 穿着:wear a happier 幸福的 aspect 方面. The families who had been in town 6 for the winter 冬 came back again, and summer 7 finery and summer 8 engagements 订婚 arose 产生:arise. Mrs. Bennet was restored 修复；使复位；使复职 to her usual querulous serenity; and, by the middle 中部 of June, Kitty was so much recovered 恢复 as to be able 7 to enter 进入 Meryton without tears 撕裂；泪; an event 事件 of such happy 幸福的 promise 允诺 as to make Elizabeth hope that by the following Christmas 圣诞节 she might be so tolerably reason‧able 合理的 as not to mention 提到 an officer 军官；指挥官 above 之上 once a day, unless 除非, by some cruel 残酷的 and malicious 恶毒 arrangement 安排 at the War Office 办公室, another regiment 团 should be quartered 四分之一 in Meryton.
The time fixed 固定 for the beginning of their northern 北方的 tour 旅行 was now fast 快的 approaching 靠近, and a fort‧night 两星期 only was wanting of it, when a letter arrived 到达 from Mrs. Gardiner, which at once delayed 延迟 its commencement 开始 and curtailed 缩短 its extent 程度. Mr. Gardiner would be prevented 预防 by business from setting out till 10 a fort‧night 两星期 later in July, and must be in London again within 在内 a month 月, and as that left 8 too short 短的 a period 时期，时间 for them to go so far, and see so much as they had proposed 提议, or at least 8 to see it with the leisure 闲暇 and comfort 安慰 they had built build on, they were obliged 责成 to give up the Lakes, and substitute 替代 a more many contracted 合同 tour 旅行, and, according 协议 to the present plan, were to go no farther far north‧ward 北方 than Derbyshire. In that county 县 there was enough to be seen see to occupy 占据 the chief 主要；首领 of their three weeks; and to Mrs. Gardiner it had a peculiarly 奇怪的 strong 7 attraction 吸引. The town 7 where she had formerly 以前的 passed some years of her life, and where they were now to spend 用钱；消磨时间 a few days, was probably 很可能；大概 as great an object 10 of her curiosity 好奇心 as all the celebrated 庆祝 beauties 美好 of Matlock, Chatsworth, Dovedale, or the Peak 峰.
Elizabeth was excessively 过度的 disappointed 使失望; she had set her heart 10 on seeing the Lakes, and still thought think there might have been time enough. But it was her business to be satisfied 使满意—and certainly her temper 性情 to be happy 幸福的; and all was soon right again.
With the mention 7 of Derbyshire there were many ideas 主意 connected 连接. It was impossible 不可能的 for her to see the word without thinking of Pemberley and its owner. “But surely 肯定地，想必，无疑地,” said she, “I may enter 进入 his county 县 with impunity, and rob 抢劫 it of a few petrified spars without his perceiving 认为 me.”
The period 时期，时间 of expectation 期望 was now doubled 双的. Four weeks were to pass 走过 away before her uncle 叔叔 and aunt 阿姨’s arrival 到达. But they did pass away, and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, with their four children, did at length 长度 appear 9 at Longbourn. The children, two girls of six 6 and eight 八 years old, and two younger boys, were to be left 9 under the particular 6 care 关心 of their cousin 堂兄妹 Jane, who was the general favourite, and whose 12 steady 稳定的 sense and sweetness 甜美 of temper 性情 exactly 精确地；确切地 adapted 改变；适应于 her for attending 出席 to them in every way— teaching 教 them, playing with them, and loving 爱 them.
The Gardiners stayed 停留 only one night at Longbourn, and set off the next morning with Elizabeth in pursuit 追求 of novelty 新奇 and amusement 娱乐. One enjoyment 享受 was certain—that of suitableness of companions 同伴; a suitableness which comprehended 理解 health 健康状况 and temper 性情 to bear 生；熊 inconveniences 不方便—cheerfulness to enhance 提高 every pleasure 愉快—and affect‧ion 感情 and intelligence 情报, which might supply 供给 it among 之间 themselves 他们自己 if there were disappointments 失望 abroad 到国外.
It is not the object 11 of this work to give a description 描述 of Derbyshire, nor 9 of any of the remark‧able 非凡的；奇异的；引人注目的 places through which their route 路线 thither lay 放置; Oxford, Blenheim, Warwick, Kenilworth, Birmingham, etc. are sufficiently 充分地 known know. A small part of Derbyshire is all the present concern 6. To the little town 8 of Lambton, the scene 场面 of Mrs. Gardiner’s former 以前的 residence 住宅, and where she had lately 近来 learned 学习:learn some acquaintance 熟人 still remained 留；剩余, they bent 弯曲:bend their steps 步；走, after having seen see all the principal 主要 wonders 琢磨；奇妙 of the country; and within 6 five miles 英里 of Lambton, Elizabeth found find from her aunt 阿姨 that Pemberley was situated 位于. It was not in their directroad 路, nor 10 more many than a mile 英里 or two out of it. In talking 说话 over their route 路线 the evening 8 before, Mrs. Gardiner expressed 表达 an inclination 倾角 to see the place again. Mr. Gardiner declared 宣布 his willingness 愿意, and Elizabeth was applied 用于 to for her approbation.
“My love 9, should not you like to see a place of which you have heard hear so much?” said her aunt 阿姨; “a place, too, with which so many of your acquaintances 熟人 are connected 连接. Wickham passed all his youth 年轻 there, you know.”
Elizabeth was distressed 苦难. She felt feel that she had no business at Pemberley, and was obliged 责成 to assume 承担 a disinclination for seeing it. She must own that she was tired 使…疲惫 of seeing great houses; after going over so many, she really had no pleasure 8 in fine 好的 carpets 地毯 or satin 缎 curtains 窗帘.
Mrs. Gardiner abused 滥用 her stupidity 糊涂事. “If it were merely 仅仅，只，不过 a fine house richly 富有的 furnished 陈设,” said she, “I should not care 关心 about it myself 我; but the grounds 地面 are delightful 愉快. They have some of the finest 好的 woods 木材；树林 in the country.”
Elizabeth said no more many—but her mind could not acquiesce. The possibility 可能性 of meeting Mr. Darcy, while viewing 看法 the place, instantly 瞬间 occurred 发生. It would be dreadful 可怕! She blushed 脸红 at the very idea 6, and thought think it would be better well to speak 6 openly to her aunt 阿姨 than to run such a risk 危险. But against this there were objections 反对; and she finally 最后 resolved 解决 that it could be the last resource 资源, if her private 私有的 inquiries 调查 to the absence 缺席 of the family were unfavourably answered 答复.
Accordingly, when she retired 退休 at night, she asked the chamber‧maid 房间‧女佣 whether 是否 Pemberley were not a very fine 好的 place? what was the name of its proprietor 业主? and, with no little alarm 警告, whether the family were down for the summer 9? A most many welcome 欢迎 negative 负 followed the last question—and her alarms 警告 now being removed 去掉, she was at leisure 闲暇 to feel a great deal 很多；对付 of curiosity 好奇心 to see the house her‧self 她自己; and when the subject was revived 复活 the next morning, and she was again applied 用于 to, could readily 准备好的 answer 8, and with a proper 适当的 air 6 of indifference 漠不关心, that she had not really any dislike 反感 to the scheme 方案. To Pemberley, therefore 7, they were to go.

Chapter 43
Elizabeth, as they drove 驾驶:drive along 一起, watched 钟表；注视 for the first appearance 8 of Pemberley Woods with some perturbation; and when at length 7 they turned in at the lodge 存放, her spirits were in a high flutter 扑.
The park 公园 was very large, and contained 包含 great variety 多样 of ground 地面. They entered 进入 it in one of its lowest 低的 points, and drove 驾驶:drive for some time through a beautiful 美丽 wood 木材；树林 stretching 伸展 over a wide 宽的 extent 程度.
Elizabeth’s mind was too full 满的 for conversation 交谈, but she saw see and admired 赞赏 every remark‧able 非凡的；奇异的；引人注目的 spot 地点 and point of view 看法. They gradually 逐步地 ascended 登 for half 8-a- mile 英里, and then found find themselves 他们自己 at the top 顶 of a consider‧able 大量 eminence, where the wood 木材；树林 ceased 停止, and the eye was instantly 瞬间 caught 抓；赶上:catch by Pemberley House, situated 位于 on the opposite 相对的 side of a valley 山谷, into which theroad 路 with some abruptness wound 创伤. It was a large, hand‧some 英俊 stone 石头 building 建造, standing well on rising 上升 ground 地面, and backed by a ridge 岭 of high woody hills 小山; and in front 前面, a stream 河流 of some natural 自然 importance 重要性 was swelled 膨胀；增强:swell into greater, but without any artificial 人造的 appearance 9. Its banks 银行；岸 were neither 都不 formal 正式 nor 11 falsely 虚伪的 adorned 装饰. Elizabeth was delighted 快乐. She had never seen see a place for which nature had done more many, or where natural 自然 beauty 美好 had been so little counter‧act 抵消 by an awkward 难堪 taste 品尝. They were all of them warm 暖和的 in their admiration 钦佩; and at that moment she felt feel that to be mistress 情妇 of Pemberley might be something!
They descended 下来 the hill 小山, crossed 穿过；十字 the bridge 桥, and drove 驾驶:drive to the door 门; and, while examining 检查 the nearer aspect 方面 of the house, all her apprehension 顾虑 of meeting its owner returned 回转. She dreaded 恐惧 lest 免得 the chamber‧maid 房间‧女佣 had been mistaken 错误. On applying 用于 to see the place, they were admitted 许可进入 into the hall 过道; and Elizabeth, as they waited 等候 for the house‧keep 管家, had leisure 闲暇 to wonder 琢磨；奇妙 at her being where she was.
The house‧keep 管家 came; a respect‧able 可敬-looking elderly 年老的；上了年纪的 woman, much less little fine 好的, and more many civil 国内, than she had any notion 概念 of finding her. They followed her into the dining 吃饭-parlour. It was a large, well proportioned 比例 room, hand‧some 英俊 fitted 合适 up. Elizabeth, after slightly 稍稍，少量 surveying 调查 it, went to a window 窗 to enjoy 享有 its prospect 展望. The hill 小山, crowned 王冠 with wood 木材；树林, which they had descended 下来, receiving 收到 increased abruptness from the distance 距离, was a beautiful 美丽 object. Every disposition 性格 of the ground 地面 was good; and she looked on the whole scene 场面, the river 河, the trees 树 scattered 散落 on its banks 银行；岸 and the winding 风 of the valley 山谷, as far as she could trace 跟踪 it, with delight 快乐. As they passed into other rooms these objects 物体；反对 were taking different 7 positions 位置; but from every window 窗 there were beauties 美好 to be seen see. The rooms were lofty 高远 and hand‧some 英俊, and their furniture 家具 suit‧able 适当 to the for‧tune 命运 of its proprietor 业主; but Elizabeth saw see, with admiration 钦佩 of his taste 品尝, that it was neither 都不 gaudy nor use‧less 无用 fine 好的; with less little of splendour, and more many real elegance 优雅, than the furniture of Rosings.
“And of this place,” thought think she, “I might have been mistress 情妇! With these rooms I might now have been familiarly 熟悉的 acquainted 认识! Instead 代替 of viewing 看法 them as a stranger 奇怪；陌生, I might have rejoiced 欢庆 in them as my own, and welcomed 欢迎 to them as visitors 访问者 my uncle 叔叔 and aunt 9. But no,”—recollecting her‧self 她自己—“that could never be; my uncle and aunt 10 would have been lost 8 to me; I should not have been allowed 允许 to invite 邀请 them.”
This was a lucky 幸运 recollection 回忆—it saved 节省 her from something very like regret 后悔.
She longed to inquire 打听 of the house‧keep 管家 whether 是否 her master 主人；硕士 was really absent 缺席的, but had not the courage 勇气 for it. At length 8 however, the question was asked by her uncle 叔叔; and she turned away with alarm 警告, while Mrs. Reynolds replied 8 that he was, adding 增加, “But we expect him to-morrow, with a large party 社交聚会 of friends 朋友.” How rejoiced 欢庆 was Elizabeth that their own journey 旅行 had not by any circumstance 环境 been delayed 延迟 a day!
Her aunt 11 now called her to look at a picture 照片. She approached 靠近 and saw see the likeness 像 of Mr. Wickham, suspended 暂停, amongst 之中 several other miniatures 微型, over the mantelpiece. Her aunt 12 asked her, smilingly, how she liked it. The house‧keep 管家 came forward 前进地, and told tell them it was a picture of a young gentle‧man 先生, the son 儿子 of her late master 主人；硕士’s steward 管家, who had been brought bring up by him at his own expense 费用. “He is now gone into the army 军队,” she added; “but I am afraid 害怕的 he has turned out very wild 野生的.”
Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece 外甥女 with a smile 微笑, but Elizabeth could not return 9 it.
“And that,” said Mrs. Reynolds, pointing to another of the miniatures 微型, “is my master 主人；硕士—and very like him. It was drawn 绘画:draw at the same time as the other—about eight 八 years ago 以前.”
“I have heard hear much of your master’s fine 好的 person,” said Mrs. Gardiner, looking at the picture 照片; “it is a hand‧some 英俊 face. But, Lizzy, you can tell us whether 6 it is like or not.”
Mrs. Reynolds respect 尊重 for Elizabeth seemed to increase on this intimation of her knowing her master.
“Does that young lady know Mr. Darcy?”
Elizabeth coloured, and said: “A little.”
“And do not you think him a very hand‧some 英俊 gentle‧man 先生, ma 嘛’am?”
“Yes, very hand‧some 英俊.”
“I am sure I know none 没有人 so hand‧some 英俊; but in the gallery 画廊 up stairs 楼梯 you will see a finer 好的, larger picture 照片 of him than this. This room was my late master 主人；硕士’s favourite room, and these miniatures 微型 are just as they used to be then. He was very fond 喜欢的 of them.”
This accounted 账；解释 to Elizabeth for Mr. Wickham’s being among 之间 them.
Mrs. Reynolds then directed their attention 8 to one of Miss Darcy, drawn 绘画:draw when she was only eight 八 years old.
“And is Miss Darcy as hand‧some 英俊 as her brother 兄弟?” said Mrs. Gardiner.
“Oh! yes—the hand‧some 英俊 young lady that ever was seen see; and so accomplished 完成；实现；达到；做到!—She plays and sings 唱 all day long. In the next room is a new instrument 仪器 just come down for her—a present from my master 7; she comes here to-morrow with him.”
Mr. Gardiner, whose 13 manners 7 were very easy 容易的 and pleasant 可爱的, encouraged 鼓励 her communicativeness by his questions and remarks 注意；评论; Mrs. Reynolds, either 6 by pride 自尊 or attachment 附件, had evidently 明显地 great pleasure 9 in talking 说话 of her master 8 and his sister.
“Is your master 9 much at Pemberley in the course of the year?”
“Not so much as I could wish, sir 先生; but I dare 敢 say he may spend 用钱；消磨时间 half 9 his time here; and Miss Darcy is always down for the summer 10 months 月.”
“ Except 把…除外,” thought think Elizabeth, “when she goes to Ramsgate.”
“If your master 10 would marry 结婚, you might see more many of him.”
“Yes, sir 先生; but I do not know when that will be. I do not know who is good enough for him.”
Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner smiled 微笑. Elizabeth could not help saying, “It is very much to his credit 信用, I am sure, that you should think so.”
“I say no more many than the truth 真理, and every‧body 每人 will say that knows him,” replied 9 the other. Elizabeth thought think this was going pretty 漂亮的 far; and she listened 倾听 with increasing 增加 astonishment 惊愕 as the house‧keep 管家 added, “I have never known know a cross 穿过；十字 word from him in my life, and I have known know him ever since he was four years old.”
This was praise 赞扬, of all others 6 most many extra‧ordinary 非凡的, most many opposite 相对的 to her ideas 主意. That he was not a good-tempered 性情 man had been her firmest 坚固的 opinion. Her keenest 热切的 attention 9 was awakened 憬; she longed to hear more many, and was grateful 感激的 to her uncle 叔叔 for saying:
“There are very few people of whom 谁 so much can be said. You are lucky 幸运 in having such a master 11.”
“Yes, sir 先生, I know I am. If I were to go through the world, I could not meet with a better well. But I have always observed 观察, that they who are good-natured when children, are good-natured when they grow 生长；种植 up; and he was always the sweetest 甜的-tempered 性情, most many generous 慷慨的-hearted 心 boy in the world.”
Elizabeth almost stared 盯着看，凝视，注视 at her. “Can this be Mr. Darcy?” thought think she.
“His father was an excellent 卓越的 man,” said Mrs. Gardiner.
“Yes, ma 嘛’am, that he was indeed; and his son 儿子 will be just like him—just as affable to the poor 8.”
Elizabeth listened 倾听, wondered 琢磨；奇妙, doubted 怀疑, and was impatient 不耐烦 for more many. Mrs. Reynolds could interest her on no other point. She related 相关 the subjects 主题 of the pictures 照片, the dimensions 空间，尺寸 of the rooms, and the price 价格 of the furniture 家具, in vain 徒劳的. Mr. Gardiner, highly amused 使人发笑 by the kind of family prejudice 成见 to which he attributed 特性；特质；属性 her excessive 过度的 commendation of her master, soon led lead again to the subject; and she dwelt with energy 能源 on his many merits 值得 as they proceeded 继续 together 同时 up the great stair‧case 楼梯.
“He is the best 9 land‧lord 房东, and the best master,” said she, “that ever lived; not like the wild 野生的 young men nowadays 现在, who think of nothing but themselves 他们自己. There is not one of his tenants 承租人 orservants 仆人 but will give him a good name. Some people call him proud 自豪的; but I am sure I never saw see anything of it. To my fancy 想像, it is only because he does not rattle 霸王鞭 away like other young men.”
“In what an amiable 可亲 light does this place him!” thought think Elizabeth.
“This fine 好的 account 7 of him,” whispered 低声说 her aunt 13 as they walked 走；步行同道, “is not quite 7 consistent 一贯 with his behaviour to our poor 9 friend.”
“Perhaps 7 we might be deceived 欺诈.”
“That is not very likely 可能的; our authority 权威 was too good.”
On reaching 到达 the spacious 宽敞 lobby 前厅 above 之上 they were shown show into a very pretty 漂亮的 sitting 坐-room, lately 近来 fitted 合适 up with greater elegance 优雅 and lightness than the apartments 公寓套房 below 在下面; and were informed 通知 that it was but just done to give pleasure 10 to Miss Darcy, who had taken a liking to the room when last at Pemberley.
“He is certainly a good brother 兄弟,” said Elizabeth, as she walked 走；步行同道 towards one of the windows 窗.
Mrs. Reynolds anticipated 预期 Miss Darcy’s delight 快乐, when she should enter 进入 the room. “And this is always the way with him,” she added. “ Whatever 无论什么 can give his sister any pleasure 11 is sure to be done in a moment. There is nothing he would not do for her.”
The picture 照片-gallery 画廊, and two or three of the principal 主要 bed‧room 卧室, were all that remained 留；剩余 to be shown show. In the former 以前的 were many good paintings 描绘；颜料; but Elizabeth knew know nothing of the art; and from such as had been already 早已；已经 visible 可以看见的；可视的 below 在下面, she had willingly 甘心 turned to look at some drawings 绘画 of Miss Darcy’s, in crayons, whose 14 subjects 主题 were usually more many interesting, and also more many intelligible.
In the gallery 画廊 there were many family portraits 肖像, but they could have little to fix 固定 the attention 10 of a stranger 奇怪；陌生. Elizabeth walked 6 in quest 寻求 of the only face whose 15 features 特征 would be known know to her. At last it arrested 逮捕 her—and she beheld a striking 敲击 resemblance 相似 to Mr. Darcy, with such a smile 微笑 over the face as she remembered 记得 to have some‧time 有时 seen see when he looked at her. She stood stand several minutes 分 before the picture 照片, in earnest 热心的 contemplation, and returned 回转 to it again before they quitted 放弃 the gallery 画廊. Mrs. Reynolds informed 通知 them that it had been taken in his father’s life‧time 一生.
There was certainly at this moment, in Elizabeth’s mind, a more many gentle 温和的 sensation 感觉 towards the original 原版的 than she had ever felt feel at the height 高度 of their acquaintance 熟人. The commendation bestowed 赐给 on him by Mrs. Reynolds was of no trifling 琐事 nature. What praise 赞扬 is more many valuable 贵重的 than the praise of an intelligent 智能 servant 仆人? As a brother 兄弟, a land‧lord 房东, a master, she considered how many people’s happiness 幸福 were in his guardian‧ship 监护人‧船!—how much of pleasure 12 or pain 痛苦 was it in his power to bestow 赐给!—how much of good or evil 邪恶的 must be done by him! Every idea 7 that had been brought bring forward 前进地 by the house‧keep 管家 was favourable to his character, and as she stood stand before the canvas 帆布 on which he was represented 代表, and fixed 固定 his eyes upon her‧self 她自己, she thought think of his regard with a deeper 深的 sentiment 情绪 of gratitude 感谢 than it had ever raised 提升；种 before; she remembered 6 its warmth 温暖, and softened 软的:soft its impropriety of expression 表现.
When all of the house that was open to general inspection 检查 had been seen see, they returned 回转 downstairs 楼下, and, taking leave of the house‧keep 管家, were consigned over to the gardener 菜园；花园, who met meet them at the hall 过道- door 门.
As they walked 7 across 穿过 the hall towards the river 河, Elizabeth turned back to look again; her uncle 8 and aunt 14 stopped 停止 also, and while the former 以前的 was conjecturing 推测 as to the date 日期 of the building 建造, the owner of it himself suddenly 突然；猛地，骤然 came forward 前进地 from theroad 路, which led lead behind 之后 it to the stables 稳定.
They were within 7 twenty 二十 yards 院子 of each other, and so abrupt 突兀 was his appearance 10, that it was impossible 不可能的 to avoid 避开 his sight 视力. Their eyes instantly 瞬间 met meet, and the cheeks 脸颊 of both were over‧spread 之上‧伸开 with the deepest 深的 blush 脸红. He absolutely 完全地；绝对地 started, and for a moment seemed immovable from surprise 使惊奇; but shortly 短的 recovering 恢复 himself, advanced 往前推 towards the party 社交聚会, and spoke 6 to Elizabeth, if not in terms 学期 of perfect 使完善；完美的 composure, at least 9 of perfect civility.
She had instinctively 本能 turned away; but stopping 停止 on his approach 靠近, received 8 his compliments 赞扬 with an embarrassment 困窘 impossible 不可能的 to be over‧come 战胜. Had his first appearance 11, or his resemblance 相似 to the picture 6 they had just been examining 检查, been insufficient 不足 to assure 向…保证；肯定地说 the other two that they now saw see Mr. Darcy, the gardener 菜园；花园’s expression 7 of surprise 使惊奇, on beholding 不料 his master, must immediately 7 have told tell it. They stood stand a little aloof while he was talking 说话 to their niece 外甥女, who, astonished 使惊讶 and confused 使困窘, scarcely 8 dared 敢 lift 举起 her eyes to his face, and knew know not what answer 9 she returned 6 to his civil 国内 inquiries 调查 after her family. Amazed at the alteration 改造 of his manner since they last parted, every sentence 句子 that he uttered 说出 was increasing 增加 her embarrassment 困窘; and every idea 8 of the impropriety of her being found find there recurring 复发 to her mind, the few minutes 6 in which they continued were some of the most many uncomfortable 不舒服 in her life. Nor did he seem much more many at ease 轻松; when he spoke 7, his accent 口音 had none 没有人 of its usual sedateness; and he repeated 重复 his inquiries 调查 as to the time of her having left 10 Longbourn, and of her having stayed 停留 in Derbyshire, so often, and in so hurried 赶紧 a way, as plainly 平原；明显 spoke 8 the distraction 娱乐 of his thoughts.
At length 9 every idea 9 seemed to fail 失败 him; and, after standing a few moments 瞬间 without saying a word, he suddenly 突然；猛地，骤然 recollected himself, and took leave.
The others 7 then joined 连接 her, and expressed 表达 admiration 钦佩 of his figure; but Elizabeth heard hear not a word, and wholly 全 engrossed by her own feelings, followed them in silence 沉默. She was over‧power 压倒 by shame 羞愧 and vexation. Her coming there was the most many unfortunate 不幸的, the most many ill 生病-judged 审判 thing in the world! How strange 奇怪；陌生 it must appear to him! In what a disgraceful light might it not strike 敲击 so vain 徒劳的 a man! It might seem as if she had purposely 目的 thrown 投掷:throw her‧self 她自己 in his way again! Oh! why did she come? Or, why did he thus 6 come a day before he was expected? Had they been only ten 十 minutes 7 sooner 立刻, they should have been beyond 超过 the reach 到达 of his discrimination 区别; for it was plain 平原；明显 that he was that moment arrived 到达—that moment alighted 落 from his horse 马 or his carriage 运输. She blushed 脸红 again and again over the perverseness of the meeting. And his behaviour, so strikingly 惊人 altered 改变—what could it mean? That he should even speak 7 to her was amazing 使大为惊奇，使惊愕!—but to speak 8 with such civility, to inquire 打听 after her family! Never in her life had she seen see his manners 8 so little dignified 褒, never had he spoken 口头讲的 with such gentleness as on this unexpected 意外 meeting. What a contrast 对比 did it offer 提供 to his last address 地址 in Rosings Park 公园, when he put his letter into her hand! She knew know not what to think, or how to account 8 for it.
They had now entered 进入 a beautiful 美丽 walk 9 by the side of the water, and every step 步；走 was bringing forward 前进地 a nobler 高尚的 fall 落下 of ground 地面, or a finer 好的 reach 到达 of the woods 木材；树林 to which they were approaching 靠近; but it was some time before Elizabeth was sensible 明智 of any of it; and, though she answered 答复 mechanically 机械 to the repeated 重复 appeals 上诉 of her uncle 9 and aunt 15, and seemed to direct her eyes to such objects 物体；反对 as they pointed out, she distinguished 区分 no part of the scene 场面. Her thoughts were all fixed 固定 on that one spot 地点 of Pemberley House, which‧ever 任何一个 it might be, where Mr. Darcy then was. She longed to know what at the moment was passing 走过 in his mind—in what manner he thought think of her, and whether 7, in defiance 蔑视 of everything, she was still dear 10 to him. Perhaps 8 he had been civil 国内 only because he felt feel himself at ease 轻松; yet there had been that in his voice 嗓音 which was not like ease. Whether 8 he had felt feel more many of pain 痛苦 or of pleasure 13 in seeing her she could not tell, but he certainly had not seen see her with composure.
At length 10, however, the remarks 注意；评论 of her companions 同伴 on her absence 缺席 of mind aroused 引起 her, and she felt feel the necessity 必须 of appearing 出现 more many like her‧self 她自己.
They entered 进入 the woods 木材；树林, and bidding 出价 adieu to the river 河 for a while, ascended 登 some of the higher grounds 地面; when, in spots 地点 where the opening of the trees 树 gave give the eye power to wander 漫步, were many charming 魔力；使陶醉 views 看法 of the valley 山谷, the opposite 相对的 hills 小山, with the long range 范围；射程；类别 of woods 木材；树林 overspreading many, and occasionally 偶尔，间或；有时 part of the stream 河流. Mr. Gardiner expressed 表达 a wish of going round 圆形的；围绕 the whole park 公园, but feared 害怕 it might be beyond 7 a walk. With a triumphant 凯 smile 7 they were told tell that it was ten 十 miles 英里 round. It settled 解决；定居 the matter; and they pursued 追求 the accustomed 使习惯 circuit 电路; which brought bring them again, after some time, in a descent 下降 among 之间 hanging 悬挂 woods 木材；树林, to the edge 边 of the water, and one of its narrowest 狭窄的 parts. They crossed 穿过；十字 it by a simple 简单的 bridge 桥, in character with the general air 7 of the scene 场面; it was a spot 地点 less little adorned 装饰 than any they had yet visited 访问; and the valley 山谷, here contracted 合同 into a glen, allowed 允许 room only for the stream 河流, and a narrow 狭窄的 walk amidst 烟雨 the rough 粗糙的 coppice- wood 木材；树林 which bordered 边；界 it. Elizabeth longed to explore 探索；探测 its windings 风; but when they had crossed 穿过；十字 the bridge 桥, and perceived 认为 their distance 距离 from the house, Mrs. Gardiner, who was not a great walker 走；步行同道, could go no farther far, and thought think only of returning 回转 to the carriage 运输 as quickly 迅速地 as possible. Her niece 外甥女 was, therefore 8, obliged 责成 to submit 给, and they took their way towards the house on the opposite 相对的 side of the river 河, in the nearest direction 方向; but their progress 进步 was slow 慢的, for Mr. Gardiner, though seldom 很少 able 8 to indulge 放纵 the taste 品尝, was very fond 喜欢的 of fishing 鱼, and was so much engaged 从事 in watching 钟表；注视 the occasional 偶然 appearance 12 of some trout 鳟鱼 in the water, and talking 说话 to the man about them, that he advanced 往前推 but little. Whilst wandering 漫步 on in this slow 慢的 manner, they were again surprised 使惊奇, and Elizabeth’s astonishment 惊愕 was quite 8 equal 7 to what it had been at first, by the sight 视力 of Mr. Darcy approaching 靠近 them, and at no great distance 距离. The walk here being here less little sheltered 居所 than on the other side, allowed 允许 them to see him before they met meet. Elizabeth, however astonished 使惊讶, was at least more many prepared 准备 for an interview 访问 than before, and resolved 解决 to appear and to speak 9 with calmness, if he really intended 意欲 to meet them. For a few moments 瞬间, indeed, she felt feel that he would probably 很可能；大概 strike 敲击 into some other path 小路. The idea lasted while a turning in the walk concealed 隐藏 him from their view 看法; the turning past 过去的, he was immediately 8 before them. With a glance 一瞥, she saw see that he had lost 9 none 没有人 of his recent 最近的 civility; and, to imitate 模仿 his politeness 礼貌, she began begin, as they met meet, to admire 赞赏 the beauty 美好 of the place; but she had not got get beyond 8 the words “delightful 愉快,” and “ charming 魔力；使陶醉,” when some unlucky 不幸的 recollections 回忆 obtruded, and she fancied 想像 that praise 赞扬 of Pemberley from her might be mischievously construed 诠释. Her colour changed, and she said no more many.
Mrs. Gardiner was standing a little behind 之后; and on her pausing 暂停, he asked her if she would do him the honour of introducing 提出 him to her friends 朋友. This was a stroke 一击;轻抚 of civility for which she was quite 9 unprepared; and she could hardly 几乎不 sup‧press 压制 a smile 8 at his being now seeking 寻求 the acquaintance 熟人 of some of those very people against whom 谁 his pride 自尊 had revolted 反叛 in his offer 提供 to her‧self 她自己. “What will be his surprise 使惊奇,” thought think she, “when he knows who they are? He takes them now for people of fashion 时尚.”
The introduction 介绍, however, was immediately 9 made; and as she named their relation‧ship 关系 to her‧self 她自己, she stole a sly look at him, to see how he bore 厌倦；厌烦；生 it, and was not without the expectation 期望 of his decamping as fast 快的 as he could from such disgraceful companions 同伴. That he was surprised 使惊奇 by the connection 连接 was evident 明显; he sustained 维持；遭受 it, however, with fortitude, and so far from going away, turned back with them, and entered 进入 into conversation 交谈 with Mr. Gardiner. Elizabeth could not but be pleased 请;讨人喜欢, could not but triumph 胜利. It was consoling 安慰 that he should know she had some relations 关系 for whom 谁 there was no need to blush 脸红. She listened 倾听 most many attentively 注意的 to all that passed between them, and gloried 光荣 in every expression 8, every sentence 句子 of her uncle 10, which marked 斑点；标注 his intelligence 情报, his taste 品尝, or his good manners 9.
The conversation 交谈 soon turned upon fishing 鱼; and she heard hear Mr. Darcy invite 邀请 him, with the greatest civility, to fish 鱼 there as often as he chose 挑选:choose while he continued in the neighbourhood, offering 提供 at the same time to supply 供给 him with fishing 鱼 tackle 滑车, and pointing out those parts of the stream 河流 where there was usually most many sport 运动. Mrs. Gardiner, who was walking 走；步行同道 arm 手臂-in- arm with Elizabeth, gave give her a look expressive 表现的 of wonder 琢磨；奇妙. Elizabeth said nothing, but it gratified 取悦 her exceedingly 非常; the compliment 赞扬 must be all for her‧self 她自己. Her astonishment 惊愕, however, was extreme 极端的, and continually 不断 was she repeating 重复, “Why is he so altered 改变? From what can it proceed 继续? It cannot be for me—it cannot be for my sake 缘故 that his manners are thus 7 softened 软的:soft. My reproofs at Hunsford could not work such a change as this. It is impossible 8 that he should still love me.”
After walking 走；步行同道 some time in this way, the two ladies 女士 in front 前面, the two gentlemen behind 之后, on resuming 恢复 their places, after descending 下来 to the brink 边缘 of the river 河 for the better well inspection 检查 of some curious 好奇的 water-plant 植物；种, there chanced 机会 to be a little alteration 改造. It originated 起源 in Mrs. Gardiner, who, fatigued 疲劳 by the exercise 练习 of the morning, found find Elizabeth’s arm 手臂 inadequate 不足 to her support 支持, and consequently 所以 preferred 更喜欢 her husband 丈夫’s. Mr. Darcy took her place by her niece 外甥女, and they walked 8 on together 6. After a short 短的 silence 沉默, the lady first spoke 9. She wished 希望 him to know that she had been assured 向…保证；肯定地说 of his absence 缺席 before she came to the place, and accordingly 于是 began begin by observing 观察, that his arrival 到达 had been very unexpected 意外—“for your house‧keep 管家,” she added, “ informed 通知 us that you would certainly not be here till 11 to-morrow; and indeed, before we left 11 Bakewell, we understood 懂:understand that you were not immediately expected in the country.” He acknowledged 确认 the truth 真理 of it all, and said that business with his steward 管家 had occasioned 机会 his coming forward 前进地 a few hours 小时 before the rest 6 of the party 6 with whom 谁 he had been travelling 旅行. “They will join 连接 me early to-morrow,” he continued, “and among 之间 them are some who will claim 声称 an acquaintance 熟人 with you—Mr. Bingley and his sisters 7.”
Elizabeth answered 答复 only by a slight 微小的 bow 弓. Her thoughts were instantly 瞬间 driven 驾驶:drive back to the time when Mr. Bingley’s name had been the last mentioned 提到 between them; and, if she might judge 审判 by his complex‧ion 肤色, his mind was not very differently 不同的 engaged 从事.
“There is also one other person in the party 7,” he continued after a pause 暂停, “who more many particularly 6 wishes 6 to be known know to you. Will you allow 允许 me, or do I ask too much, to introduce 提出 my sister to your acquaintance 熟人 during your stay 7 at Lambton?”
The surprise 7 of such an application 应用 was great indeed; it was too great for her to know in what manner she acceded to it. She immediately felt feel that what‧ever 无论什么 desire 希望 Miss Darcy might have of being acquainted 认识 with her must be the work of her brother 7, and, without looking farther far, it was satisfactory 满意; it was gratifying 取悦 to know that his resentment 怨恨 had not made him think really ill 8 of her.
They now walked 9 on in silence 沉默, each of them deep 深的 in thought think. Elizabeth was not comfort‧able 舒服；自在; that was impossible 9; but she was flattered 奉承 and pleased 请;讨人喜欢. His wish of introducing 提出 his sister to her was a compliment 赞扬 of the highest kind. They soon outstripped the others 8, and when they had reached 到达 the carriage 运输, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were half a quarter 四分之一 of a mile 英里 behind 之后.
He then asked her to walk into the house—but she declared 宣布 her‧self 她自己 not tired 使…疲惫, and they stood stand together 7 on the lawn 草坪. At such a time much might have been said, and silence 沉默 was very awkward 难堪. She wanted to talk 说话, but there seemed to be an embargo 禁运 on every subject. At last she recollected that she had been travelling 旅行, and they talked 说话 of Matlock and Dove Dale with great perseverance. Yet time and her aunt moved slowly 缓慢地，慢吞吞地—and her patience 耐心 and her ideas 主意 were nearly worn 穿着:wear out before the tete-a-tete was over. On Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner’s coming up they were all pressed 压 to go into the house and take some refreshment 爽快; but this was declined 下降, and they parted on each side with utmost 极 politeness 礼貌. Mr. Darcy handed the ladies 女士 into the carriage 运输; and when it drove 驾驶:drive off, Elizabeth saw see him walking 走；步行同道 slowly 缓慢地，慢吞吞地 towards the house.
The observations 意见 of her uncle 11 and aunt now began begin; and each of them pronounced 发音 him to be infinitely 无限地 superior 优越 to anything they had expected. “He is perfectly 完美地，完满地 well behaved 表现, polite 有礼貌的, and unassuming,” said her uncle 12.
“There is something a little stately in him, to be sure,” replied her aunt, “but it is con‧fine 局限 to his air 8, and is not unbecoming. I can now say with the house‧keep 管家, that though some people may call him proud 自豪的, I have seen see nothing of it.”
“I was never more many surprised 使惊奇 than by his behaviour to us. It was more many than civil 国内; it was really attentive 注意的; and there was no necessity 必须 for such attention 11. His acquaintance 熟人 with Elizabeth was very trifling 琐事.”
“To be sure, Lizzy,” said her aunt, “he is not so hand‧some 英俊 as Wickham; or, rather, he has not Wickham’s countenance 面容, for his features 特征 are perfectly 完美地，完满地 good. But how came you to tell me that he was so disagree‧able 不同意‧能够的?”
Elizabeth excused 原谅 her‧self 她自己 as well as she could; said that she had liked him better well when they had met meet in Kent than before, and that she had never seen see him so pleasant 可爱的 as this morning.
“But perhaps 9 he may be a little whimsical in his civilities,” replied her uncle 13. “Your great men often are; and therefore 9 I shall not take him at his word, as he might change his mind another day, and warn 警告 me off his grounds 地面.”
Elizabeth felt feel that they had entirely 6 misunderstood his character, but said nothing.
“From what we have seen see of him,” continued Mrs. Gardiner, “I really should not have thought think that he could have behaved 表现 in so cruel 残酷的 a way by any‧body 任何人 as he has done by poor 10 Wickham. He has not an ill 9-natured look. On the contrary 相反, there is something pleasing 请;讨人喜欢 about his mouth 口 when he speaks 讲. And there is something of dignity 尊严 in his countenance 面容 that would not give one an unfavourable idea of his heart 11. But, to be sure, the good lady who showed show us his house did give him a most many flaming 火焰 character! I could hardly 7 help laughing 笑 aloud 高声 some‧time 有时. But he is a liberal 自由主义的 master, I suppose 假定, and that in the eye of a servant 仆人 comprehends 理解 every virtue 美德.”
Elizabeth here felt feel her‧self 她自己 called on to say something in vindication of his behaviour to Wickham; and therefore 10 gave give them to under‧stand 懂, in as guarded 警卫 a manner as she could, that by what she had heard hear from his relations 关系 in Kent, his actions 行动 were cap‧able 能 of a very different 8 construction 施工; and that his character was by no means so faulty 不完善的, nor Wickham’s so amiable 可亲, as they had been considered in Hertfordshire. In confirmation 确认 of this, she related 6 the particulars 特别的 of all the pecuniary trans‧action 交易 in which they had been connected 连接, without actually 实际上 naming her authority 权威, but stating it to be such as might be relied 依靠 on.
Mrs. Gardiner was surprised 6 and concerned 关心；涉及; but as they were now approaching 靠近 the scene 7 of her former 7 pleasures 愉快, every idea gave give way to the charm 魔力；使陶醉 of recollection 回忆; and she was too much engaged 从事 in pointing out to her husband 丈夫 all the interesting spots 地点 in its environs to think of anything else 其他. Fatigued as she had been by the morning’s walk they had no sooner 立刻 dined 吃饭 than she set off again in quest 寻求 of her former 8 acquaintance 熟人, and the evening 9 was spent 用过的 in the satisfactions 满足 of a inter‧course 交往 renewed 更新 after many years’ discontinuance.
The occurrences 发生 of the day were too full 满的 of interest to leave Elizabeth much attention for any of these new friends 朋友; and she could do nothing but think, and think with wonder 琢磨；奇妙, of Mr. Darcy’s civility, and, above 之上 all, of his wishing 希望 her to be acquainted 认识 with his sister.

Chapter 44
Elizabeth had settled 解决；定居 it that Mr. Darcy would bring his sister to visit 访问 her the very day after her reaching 到达 Pemberley; and was consequently 所以 resolved 解决 not to be out of sight 视力 of the inn 小旅馆 the whole of that morning. But her conclusion 结论 was false 虚伪的; for on the very morning after their arrival 到达 at Lambton, these visitors 访问者 came. They had been walking 走；步行同道 about the place with some of their new friends 朋友, and were just returning 回转 to the inn 小旅馆 to dress 衣服 themselves 他们自己 for dining 吃饭 with the same family, when the sound 声音 of a carriage 9 drew 绘画:draw them to a window 窗, and they saw see a gentle‧man 先生 and a lady in a curricle driving 驾驶 up the street 街. Elizabeth immediately recognizing 认出 the livery, guessed 推测 what it meant mean, and imparted 传授 no small degree 度 of her surprise 8 to her relations 关系 by acquainting 认识 them with the honour which she expected. Her uncle and aunt were all amazement 惊愕; and the embarrassment 困窘 of her manner as she spoke, joined 连接 to the circumstance 环境 itself 本身, and many of the circumstances 环境 of the preceding 优于 day, opened to them a new idea on the business. Nothing had ever suggested 建议 it before, but they felt feel that there was no other way of accounting 账；解释 for such attentions 6 from such a quarter 四分之一 than by supposing 假定 a partiality for their niece 外甥女. While these newly 最近，新近-born 生；熊:bear notions 概念 were passing 走过 in their heads, the perturbation of Elizabeth’s feelings was at every moment increasing 增加. She was quite amazed 惊奇 at her own discomposure; but amongst 之中 other causes 原因；引起 of disquiet, she dreaded 恐惧 lest 免得 the partiality of the brother 8 should have said too much in her favour; and, more many than commonly 普通的 anxious 焦急的 to please 请;讨人喜欢, she naturally 自然地 suspected 怀疑；嫌疑犯 that every power of pleasing 请;讨人喜欢 would fail 失败 her.
She retreated 撤退 from the window 窗, fearful 可怕 of being seen see; and as she walked up and down the room, endeavouring to compose 组成 her‧self 她自己, saw see such looks of inquiring 打听 surprise 9 in her uncle and aunt as made everything worse 更坏的.
Miss Darcy and her brother 9 appeared 出现, and this formidable 强大 introduction 介绍 took place. With astonishment 惊愕 did Elizabeth see that her new acquaintance 熟人 was at least as much embarrassed 阻碍 as her‧self 她自己. Since her being at Lambton, she had heard hear that Miss Darcy was exceedingly 非常 proud 自豪的; but the observation 意见 of a very few minutes 8 convinced 说服 her that she was only exceedingly 非常 shy 害羞. She found find it difficult 困难的 to obtain 获得 even a word from her beyond 9 a monosyllable.
Miss Darcy was tall 身高；高的, and on a larger scale 规模 than Elizabeth; and, though little more many than six‧teen 十六, her figure was formed, and her appearance 13 womanly and graceful 优美. She was less little hand‧some 英俊 than her brother 10; but there was sense and good humour in her face, and her manners were perfectly 6 unassuming and gentle 温和的. Elizabeth, who had expected to find in her as acute 急性 and unembarrassed an observer 观察 as ever Mr. Darcy had been, was much relieved 解除 by discerning 辨别 such different 9 feelings.
They had not long been together 8 before Mr. Darcy told tell her that Bingley was also coming to wait 等候 on her; and she had barely 光秃秃的 time to express 表达 her satisfaction 满足, and prepare 准备 for such a visitor 访问者, when Bingley’s quick 快的 step 步；走 was heard hear on the stairs 楼梯, and in a moment he entered 6 the room. All Elizabeth’s anger 生气 against him had been long done away; but had she still felt feel any, it could hardly 8 have stood stand its ground 6 against the unaffected 未受影响 cordiality with which he expressed 6 himself on seeing her again. He inquired 打听 in a friendly 友好的, though general way, after her family, and looked and spoke with the same good-humoured ease 轻松 that he had ever done.
To Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner he was scarcely 9 a less little interesting person‧age 人‧年龄 than to her‧self 她自己. They had long wished 6 to see him. The whole party 8 before them, indeed, excited 使兴奋 a lively attention. The suspicions 怀疑 which had just arisen 产生:arise of Mr. Darcy and their niece 外甥女 directed their observation 意见 towards each with an earnest 热心的 though guarded 警卫 inquiry 调查; and they soon drew 绘画:draw from those inquiries 调查 the full 6 conviction 定罪 that one of them at least knew know what it was to love. Of the lady’s sensations 感觉 they remained 留；剩余 a little in doubt 怀疑; but that the gentle‧man 先生 was over‧flow 溢出 with admiration 钦佩 was evident 明显 enough.
Elizabeth, on her side, had much to do. She wanted to ascertain 探明 the feelings of each of her visitors 访问者; she wanted to compose 组成 her own, and to make her‧self 她自己 agree‧able 合适的 to all; and in the latter 后者的 object, where she feared 害怕 most many to fail 失败, she was most many sure of success 成功, for those to whom 谁 she endeavoured to give pleasure were prepossessed in her favour. Bingley was ready 准备好的, Georgiana was eager 渴望的, and Darcy determined 决心, to be pleased 请;讨人喜欢.
In seeing Bingley, her thoughts naturally 自然地 flew 飞；苍蝇:fly to her sister; and, oh! how ardently 热心 did she long to know whether 9 any of his were directed in a like manner. Sometimes 有时 she could fancy 想像 that he talked 说话 less little than on former 9 occasions 机会, and once or twice 两次 pleased 请;讨人喜欢 her‧self 她自己 with the notion 概念 that, as he looked at her, he was trying to trace 跟踪 a resemblance 相似. But, though this might be imaginary 想像中的, she could not be deceived 欺诈 as to his behaviour to Miss Darcy, who had been set up as a rival 对手 to Jane. No look appeared 6 on either 7 side that spoke particular 7 regard. Nothing occurred 发生 between them that could justify 为…辩护；证明…正当；是…的正当理由 the hopes 希望 of his sister. On this point she was soon satisfied 使满意; and two or three little circumstances 环境 occurred 发生 ere they parted, which, in her anxious 焦急的 interpretation 解释, denoted 表示 a recollection 回忆 of Jane not untinctured by tenderness 压痛, and a wish of saying more many that might lead to the mention 8 of her, had he dared 敢. He observed 观察 to her, at a moment when the others 9 were talking 说话 together 9, and in a tone 音 which had something of real regret 后悔, that it “was a very long time since he had had the pleasure of seeing her;” and, before she could reply 回答, he added, “It is above 之上 eight 八 months 月. We have not met meet since the 26th of November, when we were all dancing 跳舞 together at Netherfield.”
Elizabeth was pleased 请;讨人喜欢 to find his memory 记忆 so exact 准确的; and he after‧ward 之后 took occasion 机会 to ask her, when unattended to by any of the rest 7, whether all her sisters 8 were at Longbourn. There was not much in the question, nor in the preceding 优于 remark 注意；评论; but there was a look and a manner which gave give them meaning.
It was not often that she could turn her eyes on Mr. Darcy himself; but, when‧ever 随时 she did catch 抓；赶上 a glimpse 一瞥, she saw see an expression 9 of general complaisance, and in all that he said she heard hear an accent 口音 so removed 去掉 from hauteur or disdain 蔑视 of his companions 同伴, as convinced 说服 her that the improvement 起色 of manners which she had yesterday 昨天 witnessed 目击；目击者 however temporary 临时 its existence 存在 might prove 证明, had at least outlived one day. When she saw see him thus 8 seeking 寻求 the acquaintance 熟人 and courting 法院 the good opinion of people with whom 10 any inter‧course 交往 a few months 6 ago 6 would have been a disgrace 耻辱—when she saw see him thus 9 civil 国内, not only to her‧self 她自己, but to the very relations 6 whom 11 he had openly disdained 蔑视, and recollected their last lively scene 8 in Hunsford Parsonage—the difference 差别, the change was so great, and struck 敲击:strike so forcibly 强制 on her mind, that she could hardly 9 rest‧rain 抑制 her astonishment 惊愕 from being visible 可以看见的；可视的. Never, even in the company of his dear 11 friends 朋友 at Netherfield, or his dignified 褒 relations 7 at Rosings, had she seen see him so desirous to please 请;讨人喜欢, so free 自由的 from self 自己-consequence 后果 or unbending reserve 预订；保留, as now, when no importance 重要性 could result from the success 成功 of his endeavours, and when even the acquaintance 熟人 of those to whom 12 his attentions 7 were addressed 地址 would draw 绘画 down the ridicule 嘲笑 and censure 谴责 of the ladies 6 both of Netherfield and Rosings.
Their visitors 访问者 stayed 停留 with them above 之上 half-an-hour 小时; and when they arose 产生:arise to depart 离开, Mr. Darcy called on his sister to join 连接 him in expressing 表达 their wish of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, and Miss Bennet, to dinner 正餐 at Pemberley, before they left the country. Miss Darcy, though with a diffidence which marked 斑点；标注 her little in the habit 习惯 of giving invitations 邀请, readily 准备好的 obeyed 服从. Mrs. Gardiner looked at her niece 外甥女, desirous of knowing how she, whom 13 the invitation 邀请 most many concerned 6, felt feel disposed 部署 as to its acceptance 验收, but Elizabeth had turned away her head. Presuming however, that this studied avoidance 逃避 spoke rather a momentary 短暂的 embarrassment 困窘 than any dislike 反感 of the proposal 提议, and seeing in her husband 丈夫, who was fond 喜欢的 of society 社会, a perfect 使完善；完美的 willingness 愿意 to accept 承认 it, she ventured 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 to engage 从事 for her attendance 勤, and the day after the next was fixed 6 on.
Bingley expressed 7 great pleasure in the certainty 确定性 of seeing Elizabeth again, having still a great deal 很多；对付 to say to her, and many inquiries 调查 to make after all their Hertfordshire friends 9. Elizabeth, construing 诠释 all this into a wish of hearing her speak of her sister, was pleased 请;讨人喜欢, and on this account 9, as well as some others, found find her‧self 她自己, when their visitors 访问者 left them, cap‧able 能 of considering the last half-hour 小时 with some satisfaction 满足, though while it was passing 走过, the enjoyment 享受 of it had been little. Eager 渴望的 to be alone 单独的, and fearful 可怕 of inquiries 调查 or hints 暗示 from her uncle and aunt, she stayed 停留 with them only long enough to hear their favourable opinion of Bingley, and then hurried 赶紧 away to dress 衣服.
But she had no reason to fear 害怕 Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner’s curiosity 好奇心; it was not their wish to force her communication 通讯. It was evident 明显 that she was much better well acquainted 认识 with Mr. Darcy than they had before any idea of; it was evident 明显 that he was very much in love with her. They saw see much to interest, but nothing to justify 为…辩护；证明…正当；是…的正当理由 inquiry 调查.
Of Mr. Darcy it was now a matter of anxiety 焦虑 to think well; and, as far as their acquaintance 熟人 reached 到达, there was no fault 缺点 to find. They could not be untouched 不变 by his politeness 礼貌; and had they drawn 绘画:draw his character from their own feelings and his servant 仆人’s report, without any reference 参考 to any other account 10, the circle 圆 in Hertfordshire to which he was known know would not have recognized 认出 it for Mr. Darcy. There was now an interest, however, in believing 信任 the house‧keep 管家; and they soon became become sensible 明智 that the authority 权威 of a servant who had known know him since he was four years old, and whose 16 own manners indicated 表明 respect‧ability 尊重‧能力, was not to be hastily 草草 rejected 拒绝. Neither 都不 had anything occurred 发生 in the intelligence 情报 of their Lambton friends 10 that could materially 材料 lessen 变少；减轻 its weight 重量. They had nothing to accuse 指责 him of but pride 8; pride 9 he probably 很可能；大概 had, and if not, it would certainly be imputed by the inhabitants 居民 of a small market 交易-town 9 where the family did not visit 访问. It was acknowledged 确认, however, that he was a liberal 自由主义的 man, and did much good among 之间 the poor 11.
With respect 7 to Wickham, the travellers soon found find that he was not held hold there in much estimation 估计; for though the chief 主要；首领 of his concerns 关心；涉及 with the son 儿子 of his patron 顾客 were imperfectly 不完善 understood 懂:understand, it was yet a well-known know fact that, on his quitting 放弃 Derbyshire, he had left many debts 债务 behind 之后 him, which Mr. Darcy after‧ward 之后 discharged 卸货.
As for Elizabeth, her thoughts were at Pemberley this evening 10 more many than the last; and the evening 11, though as it passed it seemed long, was not long enough to determine 决心 her feelings towards one in that mansion 大厦; and she lay 放置 awake 醒着的 two whole hours 6 endeavouring to make them out. She certainly did not hate 仇恨 him. No; hatred 仇恨 had vanished 消失 long ago 7, and she had almost as long been ashamed 惭愧的 of ever feeling a dislike 反感 against him, that could be so called. The respect 8 created 制作，制造 by the conviction 定罪 of his valuable 贵重的 qualities 质量, though at first unwillingly 不甘 admitted 许可进入, had for some time ceased 停止 to be repugnant to her feeling; and it was now heightened 变高 into some‧what 有些 of a friendlier 友好的 nature, by the testimony 见证 so highly in his favour, and bringing forward 7 his disposition 性格 in so amiable 可亲 a light, which yesterday 昨天 had produced 生产. But above 6 all, above 7 respect 9 and esteem 尊重, there was a motive 动机 within 8 her of good‧will 善意 which could not be over‧look 俯瞰. It was gratitude 感谢; gratitude 感谢, not merely 仅仅，只，不过 for having once loved 爱 her, but for loving 爱 her still well enough to for‧give 原谅 all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting 拒绝 him, and all the unjust 不公 accusations 指控 accompanying 陪 her reject‧ion 拒绝. He who, she had been persuaded 说服, would avoid 避开 her as his greatest enemy 仇敌, seemed, on this accidental 偶然 meeting, most many eager 渴望的 to preserve 保护；保持原状 the acquaintance 熟人, and without any indelicate display 显示 of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only were concerned 7, was soliciting 征求 the good opinion of her friends 11, and bent 弯曲:bend on making her known know to his sister. Such a change in a man of so much pride 10 exciting 使兴奋 not only astonishment 惊愕 but gratitude 感谢—for to love, ardent 热心 love, it must be attributed 特性；特质；属性; and as such its impression 印象 on her was of a sort 9 to be encouraged 鼓励, as by no means unpleasing, though it could not be exactly 精确地；确切地 defined 确定. She respected 尊重, she esteemed 尊重, she was grateful 感激的 to him, she felt feel a real interest in his welfare 津贴，福利; and she only wanted to know how far she wished 7 that welfare to depend 依靠 upon her‧self 她自己, and how far it would be for the happiness 幸福 of both that she should employ 雇用 the power, which her fancy 想像 told tell her she still possessed 拥有, of bringing on her the renewal 复兴 of his addresses 地址.
It had been settled 解决；定居 in the evening between the aunt and the niece 外甥女, that such a striking 敲击 civility as Miss Darcy’s in coming to see them on the very day of her arrival 到达 at Pemberley, for she had reached 到达 it only to a late break‧fast 早餐, ought 应当 to be imitated 模仿, though it could not be equalled 相等的, by some exertion of politeness 礼貌 on their side; and, consequently 所以, that it would be highly expedient to wait 等候 on her at Pemberley the following morning. They were, therefore 11, to go. Elizabeth was pleased 6; though when she asked her‧self 她自己 the reason, she had very little to say in reply 回答.
Mr. Gardiner left them soon after break‧fast 早餐. The fishing 鱼 scheme 方案 had been renewed 更新 the day before, and a positive 正 engagement 订婚 made of his meeting some of the gentlemen at Pemberley before noon 正午.

Convinced as Elizabeth now was that Miss Bingley’s dislike 反感 of her had originated 起源 in jealousy 妒忌, she could not help feeling how unwelcome 不受欢迎 her appearance at Pemberley must be to her, and was curious 好奇的 to know with how much civility on that lady’s side the acquaintance 熟人 would now be renewed 更新.
On reaching 到达 the house, they were shown show through the hall 过道 into the saloon 轿车, whose 17 northern 北方的 aspect 方面 rendered 给予 it delightful 愉快 for summer 11. Its windows 窗 opening to the ground 7, admitted 许可进入 a most many refreshing 使恢复 view 看法 of the high woody hills 小山 behind 6 the house, and of the beautiful 美丽 oaks 橡木 and Spanish chest‧nut 板栗 which were scattered 散落 over the intermediate 中间 lawn 草坪.
In this house they were received 9 by Miss Darcy, who was sitting 坐 there with Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley, and the lady with whom 14 she lived in London. Georgiana’s reception 招待会 of them was very civil 国内, but attended 6 with all the embarrassment 困窘 which, though proceeding 继续 from shyness and the fear 害怕 of doing wrong 有毛病的, would easily 轻易地 give to those who felt feel themselves 6 inferior 下 the belief 信 of her being proud 自豪的 and reserved 预订；保留. Mrs. Gardiner and her niece 10, however, did her just‧ice 正义, and pitied 怜悯 her.
By Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley they were noticed 注意 only by a curtsey; and, on their being seated 席位, a pause 暂停, awkward 难堪 as such pauses 暂停 must always be, succeeded 成功 for a few moments 瞬间. It was first broken 破碎的 by Mrs. Annesley, a genteel, agree‧able 合适的-looking woman, whose endeavour to introduce 提出 some kind of discourse 演讲 proved 6 her to be more many truly 真 well-bred 养育；繁殖:breed than either 8 of the others; and between her and Mrs. Gardiner, with occasional 偶然 help from Elizabeth, the conversation 交谈 was carried 运送；支撑 on. Miss Darcy looked as if she wished 8 for courage 勇气 enough to join 连接 in it; and some‧time 有时 did venture 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 a short 6 sentence 句子 when there was least danger 危险 of its being heard hear.
Elizabeth soon saw see that she was her‧self 她自己 closely watched 钟表；注视 by Miss Bingley, and that she could not speak a word, especially 尤其地 to Miss Darcy, without calling her attention. This observation 意见 would not have prevented 6 her from trying to talk 6 to the latter 后者的, had they not been seated 席位 at an inconvenient 不方便 distance 距离; but she was not sorry 10 to be spared 节省；多余的；备用件 the necessity 必须 of saying much. Her own thoughts were employing 雇用 her. She expected every moment that some of the gentlemen would enter 进入 the room. She wished 9, she feared 害怕 that the master of the house might be amongst 之中 them; and whether she wished or feared it most many, she could scarcely determine 决心. After sitting 坐 in this manner a quarter 四分之一 of anhour 小时 without hearing Miss Bingley’s voice 嗓音, Elizabeth was roused 唤醒 by receiving 收到 from her a cold 寒冷的 inquiry 调查 after the health 健康状况 of her family. She answered 答复 with equal 8 indifference 漠不关心 and brevity, and the other said no more many.
The next variation 变异 which their visit 访问 afforded 买得起 was produced 生产 by the entrance 入口 ofservants 仆人 with cold 寒冷的 meat 肉, cake 蛋糕, and a variety 多样 of all the finest 好的 fruits 成果 in season 季节; but this did not take place till 12 after many a significant 重大 look and smile 9 from Mrs. Annesley to Miss Darcy had been given give, to remind 使想起 her of her post 邮件. There was now employment 雇用 for the whole party 9—for though they could not all talk 7, they could all eat 吃; and the beautiful 美丽 pyramids 金字塔 of grapes 葡萄, nectarines, and peaches 桃子 soon collected 收集 them round 圆形的；围绕 the table 桌；表.
While thus engaged 从事, Elizabeth had a fair 公平；美丽 opportunity 机会 of deciding 决定 whether she most many feared 害怕 or wished for the appearance of Mr. Darcy, by the feelings which prevailed 战胜 on his entering 进入 the room; and then, though but a moment before she had believed her wishes 7 to pre‧dominate 掌握, she began begin to regret 后悔 that he came.
He had been some time with Mr. Gardiner, who, with two or three other gentlemen from the house, was engaged 从事 by the river 河, and had left him only on learning 学习 that the ladies 7 of the family intended 意欲 a visit 7 to Georgiana that morning. No sooner 立刻 did he appear than Elizabeth wisely 明智的；聪明的 resolved 解决 to be perfectly 7 easy 容易的 and unembarrassed; a resolution 解析度 the more many necessary 必要的 to be made, but perhaps not the more many easily 轻易地 kept keep, because she saw see that the suspicions 怀疑 of the whole party were awakened 憬 against them, and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch 钟表；注视 his behaviour when he first came into the room. In no countenance 面容 was attentive 注意的 curiosity 好奇心 so strongly 强烈 marked 斑点；标注 as in Miss Bingley’s, in spite 恶意 of the smiles 微笑 which over‧spread 之上‧伸开 her face when‧ever 随时 she spoke to one of its objects 物体；反对; for jealousy 妒忌 had not yet made her desperate 殊死, and her attentions 8 to Mr. Darcy were by no means over. Miss Darcy, on her brother 11’s entrance 入口, exerted 发挥 her‧self 她自己 much more many to talk 8, and Elizabeth saw see that he was anxious 焦急的 for his sister and her‧self 她自己 to get acquainted 认识, and forwarded 前进地 as much as possible, every attempt 试图 at conversation 8 on either 9 side. Miss Bingley saw see all this like‧wise 同样; and, in the imprudence of anger 生气, took the first opportunity 机会 of saying, with sneering 冷笑 civility:
“ Pray 祈祷, Miss Eliza, are not the ——shire Militia removed 去掉 from Meryton? They must be a great loss 损失 to your family.”
In Darcy’s presence 出席 she dared 敢 not mention 9 Wickham’s name; but Elizabeth instantly 6 comprehended 理解 that he was upper‧most 最高的 in her thoughts; and the various 各种 recollections 回忆 connected 连接 with him gave give her a moment’s distress 苦难; but exerting 发挥 her‧self 她自己 vigorously 大力 to repel 击退 the ill 10-natured attack 攻击, she presently answered 6 the question in a tolerably detached 分离 tone 音. While she spoke, an involuntary 非自愿 glance 一瞥 showed show her Darcy, with a heightened 变高 complex‧ion 肤色, ear‧nest 热心的 looking at her, and his sister over‧come 战胜 with confusion 混乱, and unable 无法 to lift 举起 up her eyes. Had Miss Bingley known know what pain 7 she was then giving her beloved 心爱 friend, she undoubtedly 无疑 would have ref‧rain 副歌 from the hint 暗示; but she had merely 6 intended 意欲 to discompose Elizabeth by bringing forward 8 the idea of a man to whom 15 she believed her partial 局部, to make her betray 背叛 a sensibility 感性 which might injure 损伤 her in Darcy’s opinion, and, perhaps, to remind 使想起 the latter 后者的 of all the follies 蠢事 and absurdities by which some part of her family were connected 连接 with that corps 兵团. Not a syllable 音节 had ever reached 到达 her of Miss Darcy’s meditated elopement. To no creature 动物；生物 had it been revealed 揭示, where secrecy 保密 was possible, except 把…除外 to Elizabeth; and from all Bingley’s connections 连接 her brother was particularly 7 anxious 焦急的 to conceal 隐藏 it, from the very wish which Elizabeth had long ago 8 attributed 特性；特质；属性 to him, of their becoming here‧after 此后 her own. He had certainly formed such a plan, and without meaning that it should affect 影响 his endeavour to separate 分开 him from Miss Bennet, it is probable 可能的 that it might add 增加 something to his lively concern 7 for the welfare 津贴，福利 of his friend.
Elizabeth’s collected 收集 behaviour, however, soon quieted 清静的 his emotion 情感; and as Miss Bingley, vexed and disappointed 使失望, dared 敢 not approach 靠近 nearer to Wickham, Georgiana also recovered 恢复 in time, though not enough to be able 9 to speak any more many. Her brother, whose eye she feared 害怕 to meet, scarcely recollected her interest in the affair 事情, and the very circumstance 环境 which had been designed 设计，计划 to turn his thoughts from Elizabeth seemed to have fixed 7 them on her more many and more many cheerfully 乐意.
Their visit 8 did not continue long after the question and answer above 8 mentioned 提到; and while Mr. Darcy was attending 出席 them to their carriage 10 Miss Bingley was venting 发泄 her feelings in criticisms 批评 on Elizabeth’s person, behaviour, and dress 衣服. But Georgiana would not join 连接 her. Her brother’s recommendation 建议 was enough to ensure 确保 her favour; his judgement could not err 呃. And he had spoken 口头讲的 in such terms 学期 of Elizabeth as to leave Georgiana without the power of finding her other‧wise 否则 than lovely 可爱的 and amiable 可亲. When Darcy returned 7 to the saloon 轿车, Miss Bingley could not help repeating 重复 to him some part of what she had been saying to his sister.
“How very ill 11 Miss Eliza Bennet looks this morning, Mr. Darcy,” she cried 9; “I never in my life saw see anyone 任何人 so much altered 改变 as she is since the winter 冬. She is grown 生长；种植:grow so brown 棕色的 and coarse 粗鄙的! Louisa and I were agreeing 同意 that we should not have known know her again.”
However little Mr. Darcy might have liked such an address 地址, he contented 内容 himself with coolly 冷静的；酷 replying 回答 that he perceived 认为 no other alteration 改造 than her being rather tanned 黄褐色, no miraculous 神奇 consequence 后果 of travelling 旅行 in the summer.
“For my own part,” she rejoined 归队, “I must confess 供认 that I never could see any beauty 美好 in her. Her face is too thin 薄的; her complex‧ion 肤色 has no brilliancy; and her features 特征 are not at all hand‧some 英俊. Her nose 鼻子 wants character—there is nothing marked 斑点；标注 in its lines. Her teeth are tolerable, but not out of the common 普通的 way; and as for her eyes, which have sometimes 6 been called so fine 7, I could never see anything extra‧ordinary 非凡的 in them. They have a sharp 敏锐的, shrewish look, which I do not like at all; and in her air 9 altogether 全部地 there is a self 自己-sufficiency without fashion 时尚, which is intolerable 无法忍受.”
Persuaded as Miss Bingley was that Darcy admired 赞赏 Elizabeth, this was not the best method 方法 of recommending 推荐 her‧self 她自己; but angry 生气的 people are not always wise 明智的；聪明的; and in seeing him at last look some‧what 有些 nettled, she had all the success 成功 she expected. He was resolutely silent 沉默的, however, and, from a determination 决心 of making him speak, she continued:
“I remember 记得, when we first knew know her in Hertfordshire, how amazed 惊奇 we all were to find that she was a reputed 名气 beauty 6; and I particularly 8 recollect your saying one night, after they had been dining 吃饭 at Netherfield, ‘She a beauty 7!—I should as soon call her mother a wit 风趣.’ But after‧ward 之后 she seemed to improve 改进 on you, and I believe you thought think her rather pretty 漂亮的 at one time.”
“Yes,” replied Darcy, who could contain 包含 himself no longer, “but that was only when I first saw see her, for it is many months 7 since I have considered her as one of the hand‧some 英俊 women of my acquaintance 熟人.”
He then went away, and Miss Bingley was left to all the satisfaction 满足 of having forced him to say what gave give no one any pain 8 but her‧self 她自己.
Mrs. Gardiner and Elizabeth talked 说话 of all that had occurred 发生 during their visit 9, as they returned 8, except 把…除外 what had particularly 9 interested them both. The look and behaviour of every‧body 每人 they had seen see were discussed 讨论, except of the person who had mostly engaged 从事 their attention. They talked of his sister, his friends 12, his house, his fruit 成果—of everything but himself; yet Elizabeth was longing to know what Mrs. Gardiner thought think of him, and Mrs. Gardiner would have been highly gratified 取悦 by her niece 11’s beginning the subject.

Chapter 46
Elizabeth had been a good deal 很多；对付 disappointed 使失望 in not finding a letter from Jane on their first arrival 到达 at Lambton; and this disappointment 失望 had been renewed 更新 on each of the mornings 早晨 that had now been spent 用过的 there; but on the third her repining was over, and her sister justified 为…辩护；证明…正当；是…的正当理由, by the receipt 收据 of two letters 信 from her at once, on one of which was marked 斑点；标注 that it had been missent else‧where 在别处. Elizabeth was not surprised 7 at it, as Jane had written write the direction 方向 remark‧able 非凡的；奇异的；引人注目的 ill 12.
They had just been preparing 准备 to walk as the letters 信 came in; and her uncle and aunt, leaving her to enjoy 享有 them in quiet 清静的, set off by themselves 7. The one missent must first be attended 7 to; it had been written write five days ago 9. The beginning contained 包含 an account 11 of all their little parties 社交聚会 and engagements 订婚, with such news 新闻 as the country afforded 买得起; but the latter 后者的 half, which was dated 日期 a day later, and written write in evident 明显 agitation 搅动, gave give more many important intelligence 情报. It was to this effect 影响:
“Since writing the above 9, dearest 亲爱的 Lizzy, something has occurred 发生 of a most many unexpected 意外 and serious 严肃的 nature; but I am afraid 害怕的 of alarming 警告 you—be assured 向…保证；肯定地说 that we are all well. What I have to say relates 相关 to poor Lydia. An express 表达 came at twelve 十二 last night, just as we were all gone to bed 床, from Colonel Forster, to inform 通知 us that she was gone off to Scotland with one of his officers 6; to own the truth 7, with Wickham! Imagine 想象 our surprise 10. To Kitty, however, it does not seem so wholly 全 unexpected 意外. I am very, very sorry 11. So imprudent a match 比赛；火柴 on both sides! But I am willing to hope the best, and that his character has been misunderstood. Thoughtless and indiscreet I can easily 轻易地 believe him, but this step 步；走 (and let us rejoice 欢庆 over it) marks 斑点；标注 nothing bad 坏的 at heart. His choice 选择 is disinterested at least, for he must know my father can give her nothing. Our poor mother is sadly 悲哀的 grieved 悼. My father bears 生；熊 it better well. How thankful 感谢 am I that we never let them know what has been said against him; we must forget 忘记 it ourselves 我们自己. They were off Saturday night about twelve 十二, as is conjectured 推测, but were not missed 错过；想念 till 13 yesterday 昨天 morning at eight 八. The express 表达 was sent 派遣；送:send off directly. My dear 12 Lizzy, they must have passed within 9 ten 十 miles 英里 of us. Colonel Forster gives us reason to expect him here soon. Lydia left a few lines for his wife 6, informing 通知 her of their intention 意图. I must conclude 得出结论, for I cannot be long from my poor mother. I am afraid 害怕的 you will not be able to make it out, but I hardly 10 know what I have written write.”
Without allowing 允许 her‧self 她自己 time for consideration 考虑, and scarcely knowing what she felt feel, Elizabeth on finishing 完成 this letter instantly 7 seized 抓住 the other, and opening it with the utmost 极 impatience 不耐烦, read as follows: it had been written write a day later than the conclusion 结论 of the first.
“By this time, my dearest 亲爱的 sister, you have received my hurried 赶紧 letter; I wish this may be more many intelligible, but though not con‧fine 局限 for time, my head is so bewildered 困惑 that I cannot answer for being coherent 相干. Dearest Lizzy, I hardly 11 know what I would write, but I have bad 坏的 news 新闻 for you, and it cannot be delayed 延迟. Imprudent as the marriage 7 between Mr. Wickham and our poor Lydia would be, we are now anxious 焦急的 to be assured 6 it has taken place, for there is but too much reason to fear 6 they are not gone to Scotland. Colonel Forster came yesterday 昨天, having left Brighton the day before, not many hours 7 after the express 表达. Though Lydia’s short 7 letter to Mrs. F. gave give them to under‧stand 懂 that they were going to Gretna Green 绿色的, something was dropped 放下；滴；掉 by Denny expressing 表达 his belief 信 that W. never intended 意欲 to go there, or to marry 结婚 Lydia at all, which was repeated 重复 to Colonel F., who, instantly 8 taking the alarm 警告, set off from B. intending 意欲 to trace 跟踪 their route 路线. He did trace 跟踪 them easily 6 to Clapham, but no further 更远的; for on entering 进入 that place, they removed 去掉 into a hackney coach 教练, and dismissed 解雇 the chaise that brought bring them from Epsom. All that is known know after this is, that they were seen see to continue the Londonroad 路. I know not what to think. After making every possible inquiry 调查 on that side London, Colonel F. came on into Hertfordshire, anxiously 焦急的 renewing 更新 them at all the turnpikes, and at the inns 小旅馆 in Barnet and Hatfield, but without any success 6—no such people had been seen see to pass 走过 through. With the kindest concern 8 he came on to Longbourn, and broke 破；断:break his apprehensions 顾虑 to us in a manner most many credit‧able 学分；信用；表扬‧能够的 to his heart. I am sincerely 真诚的 grieved 悼 for him and Mrs. F., but no one can throw 投掷 any blame 指责 on them. Our distress 苦难, my dear 13 Lizzy, is very great. My father and mother believe the worst 生病:ill, but I cannot think so ill 13 of him. Many circumstances 环境 might make it more many eligible 合格 for them to be married 结婚 privately 私有的 in town than to pursue 追求 their first plan; and even if he could form such a design 设计，计划 against a young woman of Lydia’s connections 连接, which is not likely 可能的, can I suppose 假定 her so lost to everything? Impossible 10! I grieve 悼 to find, however, that Colonel F. is not disposed 部署 to depend 依靠 upon their marriage 8; he shook 摇晃:shake his head when I expressed 8 my hopes 希望, and said he feared 6 W. was not a man to be trusted 信任. My poor mother is really ill, and keeps her room. Could she exert 发挥 her‧self 她自己, it would be better well; but this is not to be expected. And as to my father, I never in my life saw see him so affected 影响. Poor Kitty has anger 生气 for having concealed 隐藏 their attachment 附件; but as it was a matter of confidence 信心, one cannot wonder 琢磨；奇妙. I am truly 真 glad 高兴的, dearest 亲爱的 Lizzy, that you have been spared 节省；多余的；备用件 something of these distressing 苦难 scenes 场面; but now, as the first shock 震惊；震动 is over, shall I own that I long for your return? I am not so selfish 自私的, however, as to press 压 for it, if inconvenient 不方便. Adieu! I take up my pen 笔 again to do what I have just told tell you I would not; but circumstances 环境 are such that I cannot help ear‧nest 热心的 begging 乞讨 you all to come here as soon as possible. I know my dear uncle and aunt so well, that I am not afraid 害怕的 of requesting 要求 it, though I have still something more many to ask of the former 10. My father is going to London with Colonel Forster instantly 9, to try to discover 发现 her. What he means to do I am sure I know not; but his excessive 过度的 distress 苦难 will not allow 允许 him to pursue 追求 any measure 测量 in the best and safest 安全的 way, and Colonel Forster is obliged 责成 to be at Brighton again to-morrow evening. In such an exigence, my uncle’s advice 劝告 and assistance 帮助 would be everything in the world; he will immediately comprehend 理解 what I must feel, and I rely 依靠 upon his goodness 善良.”
“Oh! where, where is my uncle?” cried Elizabeth, darting 镖 from her seat 席位 as she finished 完成 the letter, in eagerness to follow him, without losing 失去 a moment of the time so precious 宝贵的; but as she reached 6 the door 6 it was opened by a servant 仆人, and Mr. Darcy appeared 7. Her pale 苍白的 face and impetuous manner made him start, and before he could recover 恢复 himself to speak, she, in whose mind every idea was superseded 取而代之 by Lydia’s situation 6, hastily 草草 exclaimed 喊叫, “I beg 乞讨 your pardon 宽恕；说啥？, but I must leave you. I must find Mr. Gardiner this moment, on business that cannot be delayed 延迟; I have not an instant 瞬间 to lose 失去.”
“Good God! what is the matter?” cried he, with more many feeling than politeness 礼貌; then recollecting himself, “I will not detain 扣留 you a minute 分; but let me, or let the servant 仆人 go after Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. You are not well enough; you cannot go your‧self 你自己.”
Elizabeth hesitated 犹豫, but her knees 膝 trembled 发抖 under her and she felt feel how little would be gained 获得 by her attempting 试图 to pursue 追求 them. Calling back the servant 9, therefore, she commissioned 佣金 him, though in so breath‧less 咋舌 an accent 口音 as made her almost unintelligible 不知所云, to fetch 取 his master and mistress 情妇 home instantly.
On his quitting 放弃 the room she sat 坐:sit down, unable 无法 to support 支持 her‧self 她自己, and looking so miserably 悲惨的 ill, that it was impossible 11 for Darcy to leave her, or to ref‧rain 副歌 from saying, in a tone 音 of gentleness and commiseration, “Let me call your maid 女佣. Is there nothing you could take to give you present relief 宽慰? A glass 玻璃 of wine 葡萄酒; shall I get you one? You are very ill.”
“No, I thank 谢谢 you,” she replied, endeavouring to recover 恢复 her‧self 她自己. “There is nothing the matter with me. I am quite well; I am only distressed 苦难 by some dreadful 可怕 news 7 which I have just received from Longbourn.”
She burst 爆裂 into tears 撕裂；泪 as she alluded 暗示 to it, and for a few minutes 9 could not speak another word. Darcy, in wretched 不幸的人 suspense 悬念, could only say something indistinctly of his concern 9, and observe 观察 her in compassionate 富于同情心的 silence 沉默. At length 11 she spoke again. “I have just had a letter from Jane, with such dreadful 可怕 news 8. It cannot be concealed 隐藏 from anyone 任何人. My younger sister has left all her friends 13—has eloped; has thrown 投掷:throw her‧self 她自己 into the power of—of Mr. Wickham. They are gone off together from Brighton. You know him too well to doubt 怀疑 the rest 8. She has no money 钱, no connections 连接, nothing that can tempt 引诱 him to—she is lost for ever.”
Darcy was fixed 8 in astonishment 惊愕. “When I consider,” she added in a yet more many agitated 激荡 voice 6, “that I might have prevented 7 it! I, who knew know what he was. Had I but explained 讲解 some part of it only—some part of what I learnt 学习:learn, to my own family! Had his character been known know, this could not have happened 6. But it is all—all too late now.”
“I am grieved 悼 indeed,” cried Darcy; “grieved 悼— shocked 震惊；震动. But is it certain— absolutely 完全地；绝对地 certain?”
“Oh, yes! They left Brighton together on Sunday night, and were traced 跟踪 almost to London, but not beyond 10; they are certainly not gone to Scotland.”
“And what has been done, what has been attempted 试图, to recover 恢复 her?”
“My father is gone to London, and Jane has written write to beg 乞讨 my uncle’s immediate 立即的 assistance 帮助; and we shall be off, I hope, in half-an-hour 6. But nothing can be done—I know very well that nothing can be done. How is such a man to be worked on? How are they even to be discovered 发现? I have not the smallest hope. It is every way horrible 可怕!”
Darcy shook 摇晃:shake his head in silent 沉默的 acquiescence.
“When my eyes were opened to his real character—Oh! had I known know what I ought 应当, what I dared 敢 to do! But I knew know not—I was afraid 害怕的 of doing too much. Wretched, wretched 不幸的人 mistake 错误!”
Darcy made no answer. He seemed scarcely to hear her, and was walking 6 up and down the room in earnest 热心的 meditation 冥想, his brow 眉头 contracted 合同, his air gloomy 阴沉. Elizabeth soon observed 观察, and instantly understood 懂:understand it. Her power was sinking 淹没; everything must sink 淹没 under such a proof 证明 of family weakness 弱点, such an assurance 保证 of the deepest 深的 disgrace 耻辱. She could neither 都不 wonder 琢磨；奇妙 nor condemn 谴责, but the belief 信 of his self 自己-conquest 征服 brought bring nothing consolatory to her bosom, afforded 买得起 no palliation of her distress 苦难. It was, on the contrary 相反, exactly 精确地；确切地 calculated 计算 to make her under‧stand 懂 her own wishes 8; and never had she so honestly 诚实的 felt feel that she could have loved 爱 him, as now, when all love must be vain 徒劳的.
But self 自己, though it would intrude 侵入, could not engross her. Lydia—the humiliation 屈辱, the misery 痛苦 she was bringing on them all, soon swallowed 吞 up every private 私有的 care 关心; and covering 覆盖 her face with her handkerchief 手帕, Elizabeth was soon lost to everything else 其他; and, after a pause 暂停 of several minutes, was only recalled 召回 to a sense of her situation 7 by the voice 7 of her companion 同伴, who, in a manner which, though it spoke compassion 同情, spoke like‧wise 同样 restraint 克制, said, “I am afraid 害怕的 you have been long desiring 希望 my absence 缺席, nor have I anything to plead 求情 in excuse 原谅 of my stay 8, but real, though unavailing concern. Would to Heaven 天 that anything could be either said or done on my part that might offer 提供 consolation 安慰 to such distress 苦难! But I will not torment 折磨 you with vain 徒劳的 wishes 9, which may seem purposely 目的 to ask for your thanks 谢谢. This unfortunate 不幸的 affair 事情 will, I fear 7, prevent 预防 my sister’s having the pleasure of seeing you at Pemberley to-day.”
“Oh, yes. Be so kind as to apologise for us to Miss Darcy. Say that urgent 急迫的 business calls us home immediately. Conceal the unhappy 不快乐 truth 8 as long as it is possible, I know it cannot be long.”
He readily 准备好的 assured 7 her of his secrecy 保密; again expressed 9 his sorrow 悲痛 for her distress 苦难, wished it a happier 幸福的 conclusion 结论 than there was at present reason to hope, and leaving his compliments 赞扬 for her relations 8, with only one serious 严肃的, parting look, went away.
As he quitted 放弃 the room, Elizabeth felt feel how improbable 难以置信 it was that they should ever see each other again on such terms 学期 of cordiality as had marked 6 their several meetings in Derbyshire; and as she threw 投掷:throw a retrospective 回顾 glance 一瞥 over the whole of their acquaintance 熟人, so full 7 of contradictions 矛盾 and varieties 多样, sighed 叹 at the perverseness of those feelings which would now have promoted 促进 its continuance, and would formerly 以前的 have rejoiced 6 in its termination 终止.
If gratitude 感谢 and esteem 尊重 are good foundations 基础 of affect‧ion 感情, Elizabeth’s change of sentiment 情绪 will be neither 7 improbable 难以置信 nor faulty 不完善的. But if other‧wise 否则—if regard springing 春季 from such sources 资源 is unreasonable 不合理 or unnatural 不自然, in comparison 比较 of what is so often described 描写 as arising 产生 on a first interview 访问 with its object, and even before two words have been exchanged 交换, nothing can be said in her defence, except 把…除外 that she had given give some‧what 有些 of a trial 试验；审判 to the latter 后者的 method 方法 in her partiality for Wickham, and that its ill success 7 might, perhaps, authorise her to seek 寻求 the other less little interesting mode 方式 of attachment 附件. Be that as it may, she saw see him go with regret 后悔; and in this early example 例子 of what Lydia’s infamy must produce 生产, found find additional 额外 anguish 痛苦 as she reflected 反射 on that wretched 不幸的人 business. Never, since reading Jane’s second letter, had she entertained 热情款待 a hope of Wickham’s meaning to marry 结婚 her. No one but Jane, she thought think, could flatter 平的；公寓 her‧self 她自己 with such an expectation 期望. Surprise 11 was the least of her feelings on this development 发展，成长. While the contents 内容 of the first letter remained 留；剩余 in her mind, she was all surprise—all astonishment 惊愕 that Wickham should marry a girl whom 16 it was impossible 12 he could marry for money 钱; and how Lydia could ever have attached 连接 him had appeared 8 incomprehensible 费解的. But now it was all too natural 自然. For such an attachment 附件 as this she might have sufficient 足够 charms 魔力；使陶醉; and though she did not suppose 7 Lydia to be deliberately 故意 engaging 从事 in an elopement without the intention 意图 of marriage 9, she had no difficulty 困难 in believing 信任 that neither 8 her virtue 美德 nor her under‧stand 懂 would preserve 保护；保持原状 her from falling 落下 an easy 容易的 prey 猎物.
She had never perceived 认为, while the regiment 团 was in Hertfordshire, that Lydia had any partiality for him; but she was convinced 说服 that Lydia wanted only encouragement 鼓励 to attach 连接 her‧self 她自己 to any‧body 任何人. Sometimes 7 one officer 军官；指挥官, sometimes 8 another, had been her favourite, as their attentions 9 raised 提升；种 them in her opinion. Her affect‧ion 感情 had continually 不断 been fluctuating 波动 but never without an object. The mischief 恶作剧 of neglect 疏忽 and mistaken 错误 indulgence 放纵 towards such a girl— oh! how acutely 急性 did she now feel it!
She was wild 野生的 to be at home—to hear, to see, to be upon the spot 地点 to share 股 with Jane in the cares 关心 that must now fall 落下 wholly 全 upon her, in a family so deranged, a father absent 缺席的, a mother incapable 无法 of exertion, and requiring 需要；有赖于；要求 constant 不变 attendance 勤; and though almost persuaded 说服 that nothing could be done for Lydia, her uncle’s interference 干涉 seemed of the utmost 极 importance 重要性, and till he entered 7 the room her impatience 不耐烦 was severe 严峻的. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner had hurried 6 back in alarm 警告, supposing 假定 by the servant 10’s account that their niece 12 was taken suddenly 突然；猛地，骤然 ill; but satisfying 使满意 them instantly on that head, she eagerly 渴望的 communicated 通信 the cause 原因；引起 of their summons 召唤, reading the two letters 信 aloud 高声, and dwelling 住 on the post‧script 邮件‧脚本 of the last with trembling 发抖 energy 能源.— Though Lydia had never been a favourite with them, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner could not but be deeply 深深地；极其，非常 afflicted 折磨. Not Lydia only, but all were concerned 8 in it; and after the first exclamations of surprise and horror 恐怖, Mr. Gardiner promised 允诺 every assistance 帮助 in his power. Elizabeth, though expecting no less little, thanked 谢谢 him with tears 撕裂；泪 of gratitude 感谢; and all three being actuated by one spirit 精神, everything relating 相关 to their journey 旅行 was speedily 迅速 settled 解决；定居. They were to be off as soon as possible. “But what is to be done about Pemberley?” cried Mrs. Gardiner. “John told tell us Mr. Darcy was here when you sent 派遣；送:send for us; was it so?”
“Yes; and I told tell him we should not be able to keep our engagement 订婚. That is all settled 6.”
“What is all settled 7?” repeated 6 the other, as she ran run into her room to prepare 准备. “And are they upon such terms 学期 as for her to disclose 透露 the real truth 9? Oh, that I knew know how it was!”
But wishes were vain 徒劳的, or at least could only serve 服务；（为…）工作 to amuse 使人发笑 her in the hurry 赶紧 and confusion 混乱 of the following hour 7. Had Elizabeth been at leisure 闲暇 to be idle 无意义的, she would have remained 6 certain that all employment 雇用 was impossible 13 to one so wretched 不幸的人 as her‧self 她自己; but she had her share 股 of business as well as her aunt, and amongst 之中 the rest 9 there were notes 笔记 to be written write to all their friends 14 at Lambton, with false 虚伪的 excuses 原谅 for their sudden 突然的 departure 离开. An hour 8, however, saw see the whole completed; and Mr. Gardiner mean‧while 同时 having settled 8 his account at the inn 小旅馆, nothing remained 7 to be done but to go; and Elizabeth, after all the misery 痛苦 of the morning, found find her‧self 她自己, in a shorter 短的 space 空间 of time than she could have supposed 假定, seated 席位 in the carriage 11, and on theroad 路 to Longbourn.

“I have been thinking it over again, Elizabeth,” said her uncle, as they drove 驾驶:drive from the town; “and really, upon serious 严肃的 consideration 考虑, I am much more many inclined 倾斜 than I was to judge 审判 as your eldest 最年长 sister does on the matter. It appears 出现 to me so very unlikely 不会 that any young man should form such a design 设计，计划 against a girl who is by no means unprotected or friend‧less 朋友‧少, and who was actually 实际上 staying 停留 in his colonel 陆军上校’s family, that I am strongly 强烈 inclined 倾斜 to hope the best. Could he expect that her friends 15 would not step 步；走 forward 9? Could he expect to be noticed 注意 again by the regiment 团, after such an affront to Colonel Forster? His temptation 诱惑 is not adequate 足够的；合格的；合乎需要的 to the risk 危险!”
“Do you really think so?” cried Elizabeth, brightening 变亮 up for a moment.
“Upon my word,” said Mrs. Gardiner, “I begin to be of your uncle’s opinion. It is really too great a violation 违反 of decency 风化, honour, and interest, for him to be guilty 有罪的；内疚的 of. I cannot think so very ill of Wickham. Can you your‧self 你自己, Lizzy, so wholly 全 give him up, as to believe him cap‧able 能 of it?”
“Not, perhaps, of neglecting 疏忽 his own interest; but of every other neglect 疏忽 I can believe him cap‧able 能. If, indeed, it should be so! But I dare 8 not hope it. Why should they not go on to Scotland if that had been the case?”
“In the first place,” replied Mr. Gardiner, “there is no absolute 绝对的 proof 证明 that they are not gone to Scotland.”
“Oh! but their removing 去掉 from the chaise into a hackney coach 教练 is such a presumption 假定! And, besides 而且, no traces 跟踪 of them were to be found find on the Barnet road 6.”
“Well, then— supposing 假定 them to be in London. They may be there, though for the purpose 目的 of concealment, for no more many exceptional 优秀 purpose. It is not likely 可能的 that money 钱 should be very abundant 丰富 on either side; and it might strike 敲击 them that they could be more many economically 经济, though less little expeditiously, married 结婚 in London than in Scotland.”
“But why all this secrecy 保密? Why any fear 8 of detect‧ion 发现? Why must their marriage 10 be private 私有的? Oh, no, no—this is not likely 7. His most many particular 8 friend, you see by Jane’s account, was persuaded 说服 of his never intending 意欲 to marry 7 her. Wickham will never marry 8 a woman without some money 钱. He cannot afford 买得起 it. And what claims 声称 has Lydia—what attraction 吸引 has she beyond 11 youth 年轻, health 7, and good humour that could make him, for her sake 缘故, forego 放弃 every chance 机会 of benefiting 效益 himself by marrying 结婚 well? As to what restraint 克制 the apprehensions 顾虑 of disgrace 耻辱 in the corps 兵团 might throw 投掷 on a dishonourable elopement with her, I am not able to judge 审判; for I know nothing of the effects 影响 that such a step 步；走 might produce 生产. But as to your other objection 反对, I am afraid 害怕的 it will hardly hold good. Lydia has no brothers 兄弟 to step 6 forward 10; and he might imagine 想象, from my father’s behaviour, from his indolence and the little attention he has ever seemed to give to what was going forward 11 in his family, that he would do as little, and think as little about it, as any father could do, in such a matter.”
“But can you think that Lydia is so lost to everything but love of him as to consent 同意 to live with him on any terms 6 other than marriage 11?”
“It does seem, and it is most many shocking 震惊；震动 indeed,” replied Elizabeth, with tears 撕裂；泪 in her eyes, “that a sister’s sense of decency 风化 and virtue 美德 in such a point should admit 许可进入 of doubt 怀疑. But, really, I know not what to say. Perhaps I am not doing her justice 7. But she is very young; she has never been taught 教:teach to think on serious 严肃的 subjects 主题; and for the last half-year, nay, for a twelve‧month 十二‧月—she has been given give up to nothing but amusement 娱乐 and vanity 虚荣. She has been allowed 允许 to dispose 部署 of her time in the most many idle 无意义的 and frivolous manner, and to adopt 采用；收养 any opinions 意见 that came in her way. Since the ——shire were first quartered 四分之一 in Meryton, nothing but love, flirtation, and officers 7 have been in her head. She has been doing everything in her power by thinking and talking 6 on the subject, to give greater—what shall I call it? susceptibility 感受性 to her feelings; which are naturally 自然地 lively enough. And we all know that Wickham has every charm 魔力；使陶醉 of person and address 地址 that can captivate 着迷 a woman.”
“But you see that Jane,” said her aunt, “does not think so very ill of Wickham as to believe him cap‧able 能 of the attempt 试图.”
“Of whom 17 does Jane ever think ill? And who is there, what‧ever 无论什么 might be their former 11 conduct 进行, that she would think cap‧able 能 of such an attempt, till it were proved 7 against them? But Jane knows, as well as I do, what Wickham really is. We both know that he has been profligate in every sense of the word; that he has neither 9 integrity 廉正 nor honour; that he is as false 虚伪的 and deceitful as he is insinuating.”
“And do you really know all this?” cried Mrs. Gardiner, whose curiosity 好奇心 as to the mode 方式 of her intelligence 情报 was all alive 活的；有生命的.
“I do indeed,” replied Elizabeth, colouring. “I told tell you, the other day, of his infamous 臭名昭著 behaviour to Mr. Darcy; and you your‧self 你自己, when last at Longbourn, heard hear in what manner he spoke of the man who had behaved 表现 with such forbearance and liberality towards him. And there are other circumstances 环境 which I am not at liberty 自由—which it is not worth 值得的 while to relate 相关; but his lies 躺；说谎 about the whole Pemberley family are end‧less 无穷. From what he said of Miss Darcy I was thoroughly 彻底 prepared 准备 to see a proud 自豪的, reserved 预订；保留, disagree‧able 不同意‧能够的 girl. Yet he knew know to the contrary 相反 himself. He must know that she was as amiable 可亲 and unpretending as we have found find her.”
“But does Lydia know nothing of this? can she be ignorant 愚昧 of what you and Jane seem so well to under‧stand 懂?”
“Oh, yes!—that, that is the worst 生病:ill of all. Till I was in Kent, and saw see so much both of Mr. Darcy and his relation 关系 Colonel Fitzwilliam, I was ignorant 愚昧 of the truth 10 myself 我. And when I returned 9 home, the ——shire was to leave Meryton in a week or fort‧night 两星期’s time. As that was the case, neither 10 Jane, to whom I related 7 the whole, nor I, thought think it necessary 必要的 to make our knowledge 知识；了解 public; for of what use could it apparently 据…所知；看来；据说；听说 be to any one, that the good opinion which all the neighbourhood had of him should then be overthrown? And even when it was settled 9 that Lydia should go with Mrs. Forster, the necessity 必须 of opening her eyes to his character never occurred 发生 to me. That she could be in any danger 危险 from the deception 骗局 never entered 8 my head. That such a consequence 后果 as this could ensue 接踵而至, you may easily 7 believe, was far enough from my thoughts.”
“When they all removed 去掉 to Brighton, therefore, you had no reason, I suppose 8, to believe them fond 喜欢的 of each other?”
“Not the slightest 微小的. I can remember 记得 no symptom 症状 of affect‧ion 感情 on either side; and had anything of the kind been perceptible, you must be aware 知道的 that ours is not a family on which it could be thrown 投掷:throw away. When first he entered 9 the corps 兵团, she was ready 准备好的 enough to admire 赞赏 him; but so we all were. Every girl in or near Meryton was out of her senses about him for the first two months 8; but he never distinguished 区分 her by any particular 9 attention; and, consequently 所以, after a mode‧rate 有节制的 period 时期，时间 of extravagant 靡 and wild 野生的 admiration 钦佩, her fancy 想像 for him gave give way, and others of the regiment 团, who treated 治疗；款待 her with more many distinction 区别, again became become her favourites.”
It may be easily 8 believed, that however little of novelty 新奇 could be added to their fears 害怕, hopes 6, and conjectures 推测, on this interesting subject, by its repeated 7 discussion 讨论, no other could detain 扣留 them from it long, during the whole of the journey 旅行. From Elizabeth’s thoughts it was never absent 缺席的. Fixed 9 there by the keenest 热切的 of all anguish 痛苦, self 自己-reproach 责备, she could find no interval 间隔 of ease 轻松 or forgetfulness.
They travelled 旅行 as expeditiously as possible, and, sleeping 睡 one night on the road 7, reached 7 Longbourn by dinner 正餐 time the next day. It was a comfort 7 to Elizabeth to consider that Jane could not have been wearied 厌倦 by long expectations 期望.
The little Gardiners,attracted 吸引 by the sight 视力 of a chaise, were standing on the steps 步；走 of the house as they entered the pad‧dock 垫‧码头; and, when the carriage 12 drove 6 up to the door 7, the joyful 快乐 surprise that lighted light up their faces, and displayed 显示 itself 本身 over their whole bodies 身体, in a variety 多样 of capers and frisks, was the first pleasing 请;讨人喜欢 earnest 热心的 of their welcome 欢迎.
Elizabeth jumped 跳 out; and, after giving each of them a hasty 匆 kiss 接吻, hurried 7 into the vestibule, where Jane, who came running down from her mother’s apartment 公寓套房, immediately met meet her.
Elizabeth, as she affectionately 亲热 embraced 拥抱 her, whilst 同时 tears 撕裂；泪 filled 装满 the eyes of both, lost not a moment in asking whether anything had been heard hear of the fugitives 逃亡.
“Not yet,” replied Jane. “But now that my dear uncle is come, I hope everything will be well.”
“Is my father in town?”
“Yes, he went on Tuesday, as I wrote write you word.”
“And have you heard hear from him often?”
“We have heard hear only twice 两次. He wrote write me a few lines on Wednesday to say that he had arrived 到达 in safety 安全, and to give me his directions 方向, which I particularly begged 乞讨 him to do. He merely 7 added that he should not write again till he had something of importance 重要性 to mention 10.”
“And my mother—how is she? How are you all?”
“My mother is tolerably well, I trust 信任; though her spirits are greatly shaken 摇晃:shake. She is up stairs 楼梯 and will have great satisfaction 满足 in seeing you all. She does not yet leave her dressing 衣服-room. Mary and Kitty, thank 谢谢 Heaven 天, are quite well.”
“But you—how are you?” cried Elizabeth. “You look pale 苍白的. How much you must have gone through!”
Her sister, however, assured 8 her of her being perfectly 8 well; and their conversation 9, which had been passing 走过 while Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were engaged 从事 with their children, was now put an end to by the approach 靠近 of the whole party. Jane ran run to her uncle and aunt, and welcomed 欢迎 and thanked 谢谢 them both, with alternate 备用 smiles 微笑 and tears 6.
When they were all in the drawing 绘画-room, the questions which Elizabeth had already 早已；已经 asked were of course repeated 8 by the others, and they soon found find that Jane had no intelligence 情报 to give. The sanguine hope of good, however, which the benevolence of her heart suggested 建议 had not yet deserted 沙漠；抛弃 her; she still expected that it would all end well, and that every morning would bring some letter, either from Lydia or her father, to explain 讲解 their proceedings 继续, and, perhaps, announce 宣布 their marriage.
Mrs. Bennet, to whose apartment 公寓套房 they all repaired 修理, after a few minutes’ conversation 10 together, received them exactly 精确地；确切地 as might be expected; with tears 7 and lamentations of regret 9, invectives against the villainous conduct 进行 of Wickham, and complaints 抱怨 of her own sufferings 受痛苦 and ill-usage 用法; blaming 指责 every‧body 每人 but the person to whose ill-judging 审判 indulgence 放纵 the errors 错误 of her daughter 女儿 must principally 原则上 be owing 欠…债.
“If I had been able,” said she, “to carry 运送；支撑 my point in going to Brighton, with all my family, this would not have happened 7; but poor dear Lydia had nobody 没有人 to take care 关心 of her. Why did the Forsters ever let her go out of their sight 视力? I am sure there was some great neglect 疏忽 or other on their side, for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been well looked after. I always thought think they were very unfit 不适当 to have the charge 装载 of her; but I was overruled, as I always am. Poor dear child! And now here’s Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight 战斗 Wickham, wherever 随地 he meets him and then he will be killed 杀死…, and what is to become of us all? The Collinses will turn us out before he is cold 寒冷的 in his grave 坟墓；严重的, and if you are not kind to us, brother, I do not know what we shall do.”
They all exclaimed 喊叫 against such terrific 了不起 ideas 主意; and Mr. Gardiner, after general assurances 保证 of his affect‧ion 感情 for her and all her family, told tell her that he meant mean to be in London the very next day, and would assist 帮助；协助；援助 Mr. Bennet in every endeavour for recovering 恢复 Lydia.
“Do not give way to use‧less 无用 alarm 警告,” added he; “though it is right to be prepared 准备 for the worst 生病:ill, there is no occasion 机会 to look on it as certain. It is not quite a week since they left Brighton. In a few days more many we may gain 获得 some news 9 of them; and till we know that they are not married 6, and have no design 设计，计划 of marrying 结婚, do not let us give the matter over as lost. As soon as I get to town I shall go to my brother, and make him come home with me to Gracechurch Street 街; and then we may consult 咨询；请教；查阅 together as to what is to be done.”
“Oh! my dear brother,” replied Mrs. Bennet, “that is exactly 精确地；确切地 what I could most many wish for. And now do, when you get to town, find them out, wherever 随地 they may be; and if they are not married 7 already 早已；已经, make them marry 9. And as for wedding 结婚 clothes 衣服，衣物, do not let them wait 等候 for that, but tell Lydia she shall have as much money 6 as she chooses 挑选 to buy 购买 them, after they are married 8. And, above all, keep Mr. Bennet from fighting 战斗. Tell him what a dreadful 可怕 state I am in, that I am frighted 恐怖 out of my wits 风趣—and have such tremblings 发抖, such flutterings 扑, all over me—such spasms in my side and pains 痛苦 in my head, and such beatings 打败 at heart, that I can get no rest by night nor by day. And tell my dear Lydia not to give any directions 方向 about her clothes 衣服，衣物 till she has seen see me, for she does not know which are the best ware‧house 仓库. Oh, brother, how kind you are! I know you will contrive 图谋 it all.”
But Mr. Gardiner, though he assured 9 her again of his earnest 热心的 endeavours in the cause 原因；引起, could not avoid 避开 recommending 推荐 moderation 适度 to her, as well in her hopes 7 as her fear 9; and after talking 7 with her in this manner till dinner 正餐 was on the table 桌；表, they all left her to vent 发泄 all her feelings on the house‧keep 管家, who attended 8 in the absence 8 of her daughters 女儿.
Though her brother and sister were persuaded 说服 that there was no real occasion 7 for such a seclusion from the family, they did not attempt 试图 to oppose 反对 it, for they knew know that she had not prudence enough to hold her tongue 舌头 before theservants 仆人, while they waited 等候 at table 桌；表, andjudged 审判 it better well that one only of the house‧hold 家庭, and the one whom they could most many trust 信任 should comprehend 理解 all her fears 害怕 and solicitude on the subject.
In the dining 吃饭-room they were soon joined 连接 by Mary and Kitty, who had been too busily 忙碌的 engaged 从事 in their separate 分开 apartments 公寓套房 to make their appearance before. One came from her books 书, and the other from her toilette. The faces of both, however, were tolerably calm 镇定的; and no change was visible 可以看见的；可视的 in either, except 把…除外 that the loss 损失 of her favourite sister, or the anger 生气 which she had her‧self 她自己 incurred 招致 in this business, had given give more many of fretfulness than usual to the accents 口音 of Kitty. As for Mary, she was mistress 情妇 enough of her‧self 她自己 to whisper 低声说 to Elizabeth, with a countenance 面容 of grave 坟墓；严重的 reflection 反映, soon after they were seated 席位 at table 6:
“This is a most many unfortunate 不幸的 affair 7, and will probably 很可能；大概 be much talked 说话 of. But we must stem 茎 the tide 潮汐 of malice, and pour 淋；倒 into the wounded 创伤 bosoms of each other the balm of sisterly 姐妹 consolation 安慰.”
Then, perceiving 认为 in Elizabeth no inclination 倾角 of replying 回答, she added, “Unhappy as the event 事件 must be for Lydia, we may draw 绘画 from it this useful 有用 lesson 教训: that loss 损失 of virtue 美德 in a female 女性的 is irretrievable; that one false 虚伪的 step 7 involves 参与，包括 her in end‧less 无穷 ruin 破坏; that her reputation 名气 is no less little brittle 脆 than it is beautiful 美丽; and that she cannot be too much guarded 警卫 in her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex 性别.”
Elizabeth lifted 举起 up her eyes in amazement 惊愕, but was too much oppressed 压迫 to make any reply 回答. Mary, however, continued to console 安慰 her‧self 她自己 with such kind of moral 道德的 extractions 萃取 from the evil 邪恶的 before them.
In the after‧noon 下午, the two elder 年长的 Miss Bennets were able to be for half-an-hour 9 by themselves 8; and Elizabeth instantly availed 果 her‧self 她自己 of the opportunity 机会 of making any inquiries 6, which Jane was equally 平等地…；相同地… eager 渴望的 to satisfy 使满意. After joining 连接 in general lamentations over the dreadful 可怕 sequel 续集 of this event 事件, which Elizabeth considered as all but certain, and Miss Bennet could not assert 断言 to be wholly 全 impossible, the former continued the subject, by saying, “But tell me all and everything about it which I have not already 6 heard hear. Give me further 更远的 particulars 特别的. What did Colonel Forster say? Had they no apprehension 顾虑 of anything before the elopement took place? They must have seen see them together for ever.”
“Colonel Forster did own that he had often suspected 怀疑；嫌疑犯 some partiality, especially 尤其地 on Lydia’s side, but nothing to give him any alarm 警告. I am so grieved 悼 for him! His behaviour was attentive 注意的 and kind to the utmost 极. He was coming to us, in order to assure 向…保证；肯定地说 us of his concern, before he had any idea of their not being gone to Scotland: when that apprehension 顾虑 first got get abroad 到国外, it hastened 加速 his journey 旅行.”
“And was Denny convinced 说服 that Wickham would not marry 10? Did he know of their intending 意欲 to go off? Had Colonel Forster seen see Denny himself?”
“Yes; but, when questioned by him, Denny denied 拒绝 knowing anything of their plans, and would not give his real opinion about it. He did not repeat 重复 his persuasion 劝说 of their not marrying 结婚—and from that, I am inclined 倾斜 to hope, he might have been misunderstood before.”
“And till Colonel Forster came himself, not one of you entertained 热情款待 a doubt 7, I suppose 9, of their being really married 9?”
“How was it possible that such an idea should enter 进入 our brains 脑? I felt feel a little uneasy 不安—a little fearful 可怕 of my sister’s happiness 幸福 with him in marriage, because I knew know that his conduct 进行 had not been always quite right. My father and mother knew know nothing of that; they only felt feel how imprudent a match 比赛；火柴 it must be. Kitty then owned, with a very natural 自然 triumph 胜利 on knowing more many than the rest of us, that in Lydia’s last letter she had prepared 准备 her for such a step 8. She had known know, it seems, of their being in love with each other, many weeks.”
“But not before they went to Brighton?”
“No, I believe not.”
“And did Colonel Forster appear to think well of Wickham himself? Does he know his real character?”
“I must confess 供认 that he did not speak so well of Wickham as he formerly 以前的 did. He believed him to be imprudent and extravagant 靡. And since this sad 悲哀的 affair 8 has taken place, it is said that he left Meryton greatly in debt 债务; but I hope this may be false 虚伪的.”
“Oh, Jane, had we been less little secret 秘密, had we told tell what we knew know of him, this could not have happened 8!”
“Perhaps it would have been better well,” replied her sister. “But to expose 暴露 the former faults 缺点 of any person without knowing what their present feelings were, seemed unjustifiable. We acted with the best intentions 意图.”
“Could Colonel Forster repeat 重复 the particulars 特别的 of Lydia’s note 笔记 to his wife 7?”
“He brought bring it with him for us to see.”
Jane then took it from her pocket 口袋- book 书, and gave give it to Elizabeth. These were the contents 内容:
“MY DEAR HARRIET,
“You will laugh 笑 when you know where I am gone, and I cannot help laughing 笑 myself 我 at your surprise to-morrow morning, as soon as I am missed 错过；想念. I am going to Gretna Green 绿色的, and if you cannot guess 推测 with who, I shall think you a simple‧ton 简单的‧吨, for there is but one man in the world I love, and he is an angel 天使. I should never be happy 幸福的 without him, so think it no harm 损害 to be off. You need not send 派遣；送 them word at Longbourn of my going, if you do not like it, for it will make the surprise the greater, when I write to them and sign 符号 my name ‘Lydia Wickham.’ What a good joke 笑话 it will be! I can hardly write for laughing 笑. Pray 祈祷 make my excuses 原谅 to Pratt for not keeping my engagement 订婚, and dancing 跳舞 with him to-night. Tell him I hope he will excuse 原谅 me when he knows all; and tell him I will dance 跳舞 with him at the next ball 球 we meet, with great pleasure. I shall send 派遣；送 for my clothes 衣服，衣物 when I get to Longbourn; but I wish you would tell Sally to mend 修理 a great slit 裂缝 in my worked muslin gown 袍 before they are packed 一群 up. Good-bye 再见. Give my love to Colonel Forster. I hope you will drink 喝（酒） to our good journey 旅行.
“Your affectionate 亲热 friend,
“LYDIA BENNET.”
“Oh! thoughtless, thoughtless Lydia!” cried Elizabeth when she had finished 完成 it. “What a letter is this, to be written write at such a moment! But at least it shows that she was serious 7 on the subject of their journey 9. Whatever 无论什么 he might after‧ward 之后 persuade 说服 her to, it was not on her side a scheme 方案 of infamy. My poor father! how he must have felt feel it!”
“I never saw see anyone 任何人 so shocked 震惊；震动. He could not speak a word for full 8 ten 十 minutes. My mother was taken ill immediately, and the whole house in such confusion 混乱!”
“Oh! Jane,” cried Elizabeth, “was there a servant 11 belonging 属于 to it who did not know the whole story 故事 before the end of the day?”
“I do not know. I hope there was. But to be guarded 警卫 at such a time is very difficult 困难的. My mother was in hysterics, and though I endeavoured to give her every assistance 帮助 in my power, I am afraid 害怕的 I did not do so much as I might have done! But the horror 恐怖 of what might possibly happen 发生 almost took from me my faculties 学院.”
“Your attendance 勤 upon her has been too much for you. You do not look well. Oh that I had been with you! you have had every care 关心 and anxiety 焦虑 upon your‧self 你自己 alone 单独的.”
“Mary and Kitty have been very kind, and would have shared 股 in every fatigue 疲劳, I am sure; but I did not think it right for either of them. Kitty is slight 微小的 and delicate 微妙的；纤弱的; and Mary studies so much, that her hours 8 of repose should not be broken 破碎的 in on. My aunt Phillips came to Longbourn on Tuesday, after my father went away; and was so good as to stay 9 till Thursday with me. She was of great use and comfort 8 to us all. And Lady Lucas has been very kind; she walked here on Wednesday morning to condole with us, and offered 提供 her services, or any of her daughters 女儿’, if they should be of use to us.”
“She had better well have stayed 停留 at home,” cried Elizabeth; “perhaps she meant mean well, but, under such a misfortune 不幸 as this, one cannot see too little of one’s neighbours. Assistance 帮助 is impossible; condolence insufferable. Let them triumph 胜利 over us at a distance 距离, and be satisfied 使满意.”
She then proceeded 继续 to inquire 打听 into the measures 测量 which her father had intended 6 to pursue 追求, while in town, for the recovery 失而复得 of his daughter 7.
“He meant mean I believe,” replied Jane, “to go to Epsom, the place where they last changed horses 马, see the postilions and try if anything could be made out from them. His principal 主要 object must be to discover 发现 the number of the hackney coach 教练 which took them from Clapham. It had come with a fare 票价 from London; and as he thought think that the circumstance 环境 of a gentle‧man 先生 and lady’s removing 去掉 from one carriage 13 into another might be remarked 注意；评论 he meant mean to make inquiries 7 at Clapham. If he could anyhow 总之 discover at what house the coach‧man 教师‧男人 had before set down his fare 票价, he determined 决心 to make inquiries 8 there, and hoped 希望 it might not be impossible to find out the stand and number of the coach 教练. I do not know of any other designs 设计，计划 that he had formed; but he was in such a hurry 赶紧 to be gone, and his spirits so greatly discomposed, that I had difficulty 困难 in finding out even so much as this.”

The whole party were in hopes 8 of a letter from Mr. Bennet the next morning, but the post 邮件 came in without bringing a single 单一的 line from him. His family knew know him to be, on all common 普通的 occasions 机会, a most many negligent and dilatory correspondent 通信者; but at such a time they had hoped 希望 for exertion. They were forced to conclude 得出结论 that he had no pleasing 请;讨人喜欢 intelligence 情报 to send 6; but even of that they would have been glad 高兴的 to be certain. Mr. Gardiner had waited 等候 only for the letters 6 before he set off.
When he was gone, they were certain at least of receiving 收到 constant 不变 information of what was going on, and their uncle promised 允诺, at parting, to prevail 战胜 on Mr. Bennet to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could, to the great consolation 安慰 of his sister, who considered it as the only security 安全 for her husband 丈夫’s not being killed 杀死… in a duel 决斗.
Mrs. Gardiner and the children were to remain 留；剩余 in Hertfordshire a few days longer, as the former thought think her presence 出席 might be service‧able 服务‧能够的 to her nieces 外甥女. She shared 股 in their attendance 勤 on Mrs. Bennet, and was a great comfort 9 to them in their hours 9 of freedom 自由. Their other aunt also visited 访问 them frequently 频繁地，经常地, and always, as she said, with the design 设计，计划 of cheering 欢呼 and heartening them up—though, as she never came without reporting some fresh 新鲜的 instance 例 of Wickham’s extravagance or irregularity 不规则, she seldom 很少 went away without leaving them more many dispirited than she found find them.
All Meryton seemed striving 努力 to blacken 黩 the man who, but three months 9 before, had been almost an angel 天使 of light. He was declared 宣布 to be in debt 债务 to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues 诡计, all honoured with the title 标题 of seduction, had been extended 延伸 into every tradesman’s family. Everybody 每人 declared that he was the wickedest 邪恶的 young man in the world; and everybody began begin to find out that they had always distrusted 怀疑 the appearance of his goodness 善良. Elizabeth, though she did not credit 信用 above half of what was said, believed enough to make her former assurance 保证 of her sister’s ruin 破坏 more many certain; and even Jane, who believed still less little of it, became become almost hope‧less 绝望, more many especially 尤其地 as the time was now come when, if they had gone to Scotland, which she had never before entirely 7 despaired 绝望 of, they must in all probability 可能性 have gained 获得 some news 10 of them.
Mr. Gardiner left Longbourn on Sunday; on Tuesday his wife 8 received a letter from him; it told tell them that, on his arrival 到达, he had immediately found find out his brother, and persuaded 6 him to come to Gracechurch Street 街; that Mr. Bennet had been to Epsom and Clapham, before his arrival 到达, but without gaining 获得 any satisfactory 满意 information; and that he was now determined 决心 to inquire 打听 at all the principal 主要 hotels 旅馆 in town, as Mr. Bennet thought think it possible they might have gone to one of them, on their first coming to London, before they pro‧cure 促成 lodgings 存放. Mr. Gardiner himself did not expect any success 8 from this measure 测量, but as his brother was eager 渴望的 in it, he meant mean to assist 帮助；协助；援助 him in pursuing 追求 it. He added that Mr. Bennet seemed wholly 全 disinclined at present to leave London and promised 允诺 to write again very soon. There was also a post‧script 邮件‧脚本 to this effect 影响:
“I have written write to Colonel Forster to desire 希望 him to find out, if possible, from some of the young man’s intimates 亲密 in the regiment 团, whether Wickham has any relations 9 or connections 连接 who would be likely 8 to know in what part of town he has now concealed 隐藏 himself. If there were anyone 7 that one could apply 用于 to with a probability 可能性 of gaining 获得 such a clue 线索 as that, it might be of essential 基本的 consequence 后果. At present we have nothing to guide 引路 us. Colonel Forster will, I dare 9 say, do everything in his power to satisfy 使满意 us on this head. But, on second thoughts, perhaps, Lizzy could tell us what relations he has now living, better well than any other person.”
Elizabeth was at no loss 损失 to understand 6 from whence this deference 尊重 to her authority 权威 proceeded 继续; but it was not in her power to give any information of so satisfactory 满意 a nature as the compliment 赞扬 deserved 应受. She had never heard hear of his having had any relations, except 7 a father and mother, both of whom had been dead 死去的 many years. It was possible, however, that some of his companions 同伴 in the ——shire might be able to give more many information; and though she was not very sanguine in expecting it, the application 应用 was a something to look forward to.
Every day at Longbourn was now a day of anxiety 焦虑; but the most many anxious 焦急的 part of each was when the post 邮件 was expected. The arrival 到达 of letters 7 was the grand 宏大的 object of every morning’s impatience 不耐烦. Through letters 8, whatever 7 of good or bad 坏的 was to be told tell would be communicated 通信, and every succeeding 成功 day was expected to bring some news 11 of importance 7.
But before they heard hear again from Mr. Gardiner, a letter arrived 到达 for their father, from a different quarter 四分之一, from Mr. Collins; which, as Jane had received directions 方向 to open all that came for him in his absence 9, she accordingly 于是 read; and Elizabeth, who knew know what curiosities 好奇心 his letters 9 always were, looked over her, and read it like‧wise 同样. It was as follows:
“MY DEAR SIR 先生,
“I feel myself 我 called upon, by our relation‧ship 关系, and my situation 8 in life, to condole with you on the grievous affliction you are now suffering 受痛苦 under, of which we were yesterday 昨天 informed 通知 by a letter from Hertfordshire. Be assured, my dear sir, that Mrs. Collins and myself 我 sincerely 真诚的 sympathise with you and all your respect‧able 可敬 family, in your present distress 苦难, which must be of the bitterest 苦的 kind, because proceeding 继续 from a cause 原因；引起 which no time can remove 去掉. No arguments 论据 shall be wanting on my part that can alleviate 缓和 so severe 严峻的 a misfortune 不幸—or that may comfort 10 you, under a circumstance 环境 that must be of all others the most many afflicting 折磨 to a parent 父母’s mind. The death 死亡 of your daughter 8 would have been a blessing 祝福 in comparison 比较 of this. And it is the more many to be lamented 哀叹, because there is reason to suppose 10 as my dear Charlotte informs 通知 me, that this licentiousness of behaviour in your daughter 9 has proceeded 继续 from a faulty 不完善的 degree 度 of indulgence 放纵; though, at the same time, for the consolation 安慰 of your‧self 你自己 and Mrs. Bennet, I am inclined 倾斜 to think that her own disposition 性格 must be naturally 自然地 bad 坏的, or she could not be guilty 有罪的；内疚的 of such an enormity, at so early an age 年龄. Howsoever that may be, you are grievously to be pitied 怜悯; in which opinion I am not only joined 连接 by Mrs. Collins, but like‧wise 同样 by Lady Catherine and her daughter 10, to whom I have related 8 the affair 9. They agree 同意 with me in apprehending 拘押 that this false 虚伪的 step 9 in one daughter 11 will be injurious to the for‧tune 命运 of all the others; for who, as Lady Catherine her‧self 她自己 condescendingly says, will connect 连接 themselves 9 with such a family? And this consideration 考虑 leads me more‧over 再者 to reflect 反射, with augmented 增加 satisfaction 9, on a certain event 7 of last November; for had it been other‧wise 否则, I must have been involved 参与，包括 in all your sorrow 悲痛 and disgrace 耻辱. Let me then advise 劝告 you, dear sir 先生, to console 安慰 your‧self 你自己 as much as possible, to throw 投掷 off your unworthy child from your affect‧ion 感情 for ever, and leave her to reap 收割 the fruits 成果 of her own heinous offense 进攻.
“I am, dear sir, etc., etc.”
Mr. Gardiner did not write again till he had received an answer from Colonel Forster; and then he had nothing of a pleasant 可爱的 nature to send 7. It was not known know that Wickham had a single 单一的 relation‧ship 关系 with whom he kept keep up any connection 8, and it was certain that he had no near one living. His former acquaintances 熟人 had been numerous 很多的; but since he had been in the militia 民兵, it did not appear that he was on terms 7 of particular friend‧ship 友情 with any of them. There was no one, therefore, who could be pointed out as likely 9 to give any news of him. And in the wretched 不幸的人 state of his own finances 金融, there was a very powerful 强大 motive 动机 for secrecy 保密, in addition 加成 to his fear of discovery 发现 by Lydia’s relations, for it had just transpired that he had left gaming 游戏 debts 债务 behind 7 him to a very consider‧able 大量 amount 量. Colonel Forster believed that more many than a thou‧sand 千 pounds 敲打；英镑 would be necessary 必要的 to clear his expenses 费用 at Brighton. He owed 欠…债 a good deal 6 in town, but his debts 债务 of honour were still more many formidable 强大. Mr. Gardiner did not attempt 7 to conceal 隐藏 these particulars 特别的 from the Longbourn family. Jane heard hear them with horror 恐怖. “A gamester!” she cried. “This is wholly 全 unexpected 意外. I had not an idea of it.”
Mr. Gardiner added in his letter, that they might expect to see their father at home on the following day, which was Saturday. Rendered spirit‧less 精神‧少 by the ill-success 9 of all their endeavours, he had yielded 屈服 to his brother-in-law’s entreaty that he would return to his family, and leave it to him to do whatever 8 occasion 8 might suggest 建议 to be advisable 可取 for continuing their pursuit 追求. When Mrs. Bennet was told tell of this, she did not express 表达 so much satisfaction 10 as her children expected, considering what her anxiety 焦虑 for his life had been before.
“What, is he coming home, and without poor Lydia?” she cried. “Sure he will not leave London before he has found find them. Who is to fight 战斗 Wickham, and make him marry 11 her, if he comes away?”
As Mrs. Gardiner began begin to wish to be at home, it was settled that she and the children should go to London, at the same time that Mr. Bennet came from it. The coach 教练, therefore, took them the first stage 阶段 of their journey 10, and brought bring its master back to Longbourn.
Mrs. Gardiner went away in all the perplexity about Elizabeth and her Derbyshire friend that had attended 9 her from that part of the world. His name had never been voluntarily 自行 mentioned 6 before them by her niece 13; and the kind of half-expectation 期望 which Mrs. Gardiner had formed, of their being followed by a letter from him, had ended in nothing. Elizabeth had received none 没有人 since her return that could come from Pemberley.
The present unhappy 不快乐 state of the family rendered 给予 any other excuse 原谅 for the lowness of her spirits unnecessary 不必要; nothing, therefore, could be fairly 公正地，一定地 conjectured 推测 from that, though Elizabeth, who was by this time tolerably well acquainted 认识 with her own feelings, was perfectly 9 aware 知道的 that, had she known know nothing of Darcy, she could have borne 生；熊:bear the dread 恐惧 of Lydia’s infamy some‧what 有些 better well. It would have spared 节省；多余的；备用件 her, she thought think, one sleep‧less 睡‧少 night out of two.
When Mr. Bennet arrived 到达, he had all the appearance of his usual philosophic composure. He said as little as he had ever been in the habit 习惯 of saying; made no mention 11 of the business that had taken him away, and it was some time before his daughters 女儿 had courage 勇气 to speak of it.
It was not till the after‧noon 下午, when he had joined 连接 them at tea 茶水, that Elizabeth ventured 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 to introduce 提出 the subject; and then, on her briefly 短时间地 expressing 表达 her sorrow 悲痛 for what he must have endured 忍受, he replied, “Say nothing of that. Who should suffer 受痛苦 but myself 我? It has been my own doing, and I ought 8 to feel it.”
“You must not be too severe 严峻的 upon your‧self 你自己,” replied Elizabeth.
“You may well warn 警告 me against such an evil 邪恶的. Human 人 nature is so prone 易于 to fall 落下 into it! No, Lizzy, let me once in my life feel how much I have been to blame 8. I am not afraid 8 of being over‧power 压倒 by the impression 印象. It will pass 走过 away soon enough.”
“Do you suppose 11 them to be in London?”
“Yes; where else 其他 can they be so well concealed 隐藏?”
“And Lydia used to want to go to London,” added Kitty.
“She is happy 幸福的 then,” said her father drily 干燥; “and her residence 住宅 there will probably 很可能；大概 be of some duration 持续时间.”
Then after a short 8 silence 沉默 he continued:
“Lizzy, I bear 生；熊 you no ill-will for being justified 为…辩护；证明…正当；是…的正当理由 in your advice 劝告 to me last May, which, considering the event 8, shows some greatness 伟大 of mind.”
They were interrupted 打断 by Miss Bennet, who came to fetch 取 her mother’s tea 茶水.
“This is a parade 游行,” he cried, “which does one good; it gives such an elegance 优雅 to misfortune 不幸! Another day I will do the same; I will sit 坐 in my library 图书馆, in my night‧cap 夜‧盖 and powdering 粉 gown 袍, and give as much trouble 麻烦 as I can; or, perhaps, I may defer 延缓 it till Kitty runs away.”
“I am not going to run away, papa,” said Kitty fret‧fully 烦恼‧完全地. “If I should ever go to Brighton, I would behave 表现 better well than Lydia.”
“You go to Brighton. I would not trust 信任 you so near it as Eastbourne for fifty 五十 pounds 6! No, Kitty, I have at last learnt 学习:learn to be cautious 小心的, and you will feel the effects 影响 of it. No officer 军官；指挥官 is ever to enter 进入 into my house again, nor even to pass 走过 through the village 村庄. Balls will be absolutely 6 prohibited 禁止, unless 除非 you stand up with one of your sisters 9. And you are never to stir 搅动 out of doors 门 till you can prove 证明 that you have spent 用过的 ten 十 minutes of every day in a rational 合理的 manner.”
Kitty, who took all these threats 威胁 in a serious 8 light, began begin to cry 哭，叫喊.
“Well, well,” said he, “do not make your‧self 你自己 unhappy 不快乐. If you are a good girl for the next ten 十 years, I will take you to a review 复习 at the end of them.”

Chapter 49
Two days after Mr. Bennet’s return, as Jane and Elizabeth were walking 7 together in the shrubbery behind 8 the house, they saw see the house‧keep 管家 coming towards them, and, concluding 得出结论 that she came to call them to their mother, went forward to meet her; but, instead 代替 of the expected summons 召唤, when they approached 靠近 her, she said to Miss Bennet, “I beg 乞讨 your pardon 宽恕；说啥？, madam 夫人, for interrupting 打断 you, but I was in hopes 9 you might have got get some good news from town, so I took the liberty 自由 of coming to ask.”
“What do you mean, Hill 小山? We have heard hear nothing from town.”
“Dear madam 夫人,” cried Mrs. Hill, in great astonishment 惊愕, “don’t you know there is an express 表达 come for master from Mr. Gardiner? He has been here this half-hour, and master has had a letter.”
Away ran run the girls, too eager 渴望的 to get in to have time for speech 演说. They ran run through the vestibule into the break‧fast 早餐-room; from thence to the library 图书馆; their father was in neither 11; and they were on the point of seeking 寻求 him up stairs 楼梯 with their mother, when they were met meet by the butler 男管家, who said:
“If you are looking for my master, ma 嘛’am, he is walking 8 towards the little copse.”
Upon this information, they instantly passed through the hall 过道 once more many, and ran run across 穿过 the lawn 草坪 after their father, who was deliberately 故意 pursuing 追求 his way towards a small wood 木材；树林 on one side of the pad‧dock 垫‧码头.
Jane, who was not so light nor so much in the habit 习惯 of running as Elizabeth, soon lagged 落后 behind 9, while her sister, panting 喘气 for breath 呼吸, came up with him, and eagerly 渴望的 cried out:
“Oh, papa, what news—what news? Have you heard hear from my uncle?”
“Yes I have had a letter from him by express 7.”
“Well, and what news does it bring—good or bad 坏的?”
“What is there of good to be expected?” said he, taking the letter from his pocket 口袋. “But perhaps you would like to read it.”
Elizabeth impatiently 不耐烦 caught 抓；赶上:catch it from his hand. Jane now came up.
“Read it aloud 高声,” said their father, “for I hardly know myself 我 what it is about.”
“Gracechurch Street 街, Monday, August 2.
“MY DEAR BROTHER,
“At last I am able to send 8 you some tidings 潮汐 of my niece 14, and such as, upon the whole, I hope it will give you satisfaction 11. Soon after you left me on Saturday, I was fortunate 侥幸的 enough to find out in what part of London they were. The particulars 6 I reserve 预订；保留 till we meet; it is enough to know they are discovered 发现. I have seen see them both—”
“Then it is as I always hoped 希望,” cried Jane; “they are married!”
Elizabeth read on:
“I have seen see them both. They are not married, nor can I find there was any intention 意图 of being so; but if you are willing to per‧form 执行 the engagements 订婚 which I have ventured 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 to make on your side, I hope it will not be long before they are. All that is required 需要；有赖于；要求 of you is, to assure 向…保证；肯定地说 to your daughter, by settlement 沉降, her equal 9 share 股 of the five thou‧sand 千 pounds 7 secured 安全 among 6 your children after the decease 死亡 of your‧self 你自己 and my sister; and, more‧over 再者, to enter 进入 into an engagement 订婚 of allowing 允许 her, during your life, one hundred 百 pounds 8 per annum 每年. These are conditions 状态 which, considering everything, I had no hesitation 犹豫 in complying 执行 with, as far as I thought think myself 我 privileged 特权, for you. I shall send 9 this by express 8, that no time may be lost in bringing me your answer. You will easily 9 comprehend 理解, from these particulars 7, that Mr. Wickham’s circumstances 环境 are not so hope‧less 绝望 as they are generally believed to be. The world has been deceived 欺诈 in that respect 10; and I am happy 7 to say there will be some little money 7, even when all his debts 债务 are discharged 卸货, to settle 解决；定居 on my niece 15, in addition 加成 to her own for‧tune 命运. If, as I conclude 得出结论 will be the case, you send me full 9 powers to act in your name through‧out 始终 the whole of this business, I will immediately give directions 方向 to Haggerston for preparing 准备 a proper 适当的 settlement 沉降. There will not be the smallest occasion 9 for your coming to town again; therefore stay 10 quiet 清静的 at Longbourn, and depend 依靠 on my diligence 勤勉 and care 6. Send back your answer as fast 快的 as you can, and be careful 小心 to write explicitly 明确地. We havejudged 审判 it best that my niece 16 should be married from this house, of which I hope you will approve 赞成. She comes to us to-day. I shall write again as soon as anything more many is determined 决心 on. Yours, etc.,
“EDW. GARDINER.”
“Is it possible?” cried Elizabeth, when she had finished 完成. “Can it be possible that he will marry her?”
“Wickham is not so undeserving, then, as we thought think him,” said her sister. “My dear father, I congratulate 祝贺 you.”
“And have you answered 7 the letter?” cried Elizabeth.
“No; but it must be done soon.”
Most many ear‧nest 热心的 did she then entreat him to lose 失去 no more many time before he wrote write.
“Oh! my dear father,” she cried, “come back and write immediately. Consider how important every moment is in such a case.”
“Let me write for you,” said Jane, “if you dislike 反感 the trouble 麻烦 your‧self 你自己.”
“I dislike 反感 it very much,” he replied; “but it must be done.”
And so saying, he turned back with them, and walked towards the house.
“And may I ask—” said Elizabeth; “but the terms 8, I suppose, must be complied 执行 with.”
“Complied with! I am only ashamed 惭愧的 of his asking so little.”
“And they must marry! Yet he is such a man!”
“Yes, yes, they must marry. There is nothing else 其他 to be done. But there are two things that I want very much to know; one is, how much money 8 your uncle has laid 放置:lay down to bring it about; and the other, how am I ever to pay him.”
“Money 9! My uncle!” cried Jane, “what do you mean, sir 先生?”
“I mean, that no man in his senses would marry Lydia on so slight 微小的 a temptation 诱惑 as one hundred 百 a year during my life, and fifty 五十 after I am gone.”
“That is very true 真正的,” said Elizabeth; “though it had not occurred 发生 to me before. His debts 债务 to be discharged 卸货, and something still to remain 留；剩余! Oh! it must be my uncle’s doings! Generous 慷慨的, good man, I am afraid 9 he has distressed 苦难 himself. A small sum 和 could not do all this.”
“No,” said her father; “Wickham’s a fool 愚人 if he takes her with a far‧thing 远‧东西；事件 less little than ten 十 thou‧sand 千 pounds 9. I should be sorry 12 to think so ill of him, in the very beginning of our relation‧ship 关系.”
“Ten 十 thou‧sand 千 pounds! Heaven 天 forbid 禁止! How is half such a sum 和 to be repaid?”
Mr. Bennet made no answer, and each of them, deep 深的 in thought think, continued silent 沉默的 till they reached 8 the house. Their father then went on to the library 图书馆 to write, and the girls walked into the break‧fast 早餐-room.
“And they are really to be married!” cried Elizabeth, as soon as they were by themselves. “How strange 奇怪；陌生 this is! And for this we are to be thankful 感谢. That they should marry, small as is their chance 机会 of happiness 幸福, and wretched 不幸的人 as is his character, we are forced to rejoice 欢庆. Oh, Lydia!”
“I comfort 11 myself 我 with thinking,” replied Jane, “that he certainly would not marry Lydia if he had not a real regard for her. Though our kind uncle has done something towards clearing him, I cannot believe that ten 十 thou‧sand 千 pounds, or anything like it, has been advanced 往前推. He has children of his own, and may have more many. How could he spare 节省；多余的；备用件 half ten 十 thou‧sand 千 pounds?”
“If he were ever able to learn 学习 what Wickham’s debts 债务 have been,” said Elizabeth, “and how much is settled on his side on our sister, we shall exactly 6 know what Mr. Gardiner has done for them, because Wickham has not six‧pence 6‧便士 of his own. The kindness 善良 of my uncle and aunt can never be requited. Their taking her home, and affording 买得起 her their personal 个人 protection 保护 and countenance 面容, is such a sacrifice 牺牲 to her advantage 有利条件 as years of gratitude 感谢 cannot enough acknowledge 确认. By this time she is actually 实际上 with them! If such goodness 善良 does not make her miserable 悲惨的 now, she will never deserve 应受 to be happy 8! What a meeting for her, when she first sees my aunt!”
“We must endeavour to forget 忘记 all that has passed on either side,” said Jane: “I hope and trust 信任 they will yet be happy 9. His consenting 同意 to marry her is a proof 证明, I will believe, that he is come to a right way of thinking. Their mutual 相互 affect‧ion 感情 will steady 稳定的 them; and I flatter 平的；公寓 myself 我 they will settle 解决；定居 so quietly 清静的, and live in so rational 合理的 a manner, as may in time make their past 过去的 imprudence forgotten 忘记:forget.”
“Their conduct 进行 has been such,” replied Elizabeth, “as neither you, nor I, nor any‧body 任何人 can ever forget 忘记. It is use‧less 无用 to talk 9 of it.”
It now occurred 发生 to the girls that their mother was in all likelihood 可能性 perfectly ignorant 愚昧 of what had happened 9. They went to the library 图书馆, therefore, and asked their father whether he would not wish them to make it known know to her. He was writing and, without raising 提升；种 his head, coolly 冷静的；酷 replied:
“Just as you please 请;讨人喜欢.”
“May we take my uncle’s letter to read to her?”
“Take whatever 9 you like, and get away.”
Elizabeth took the letter from his writing-table 7, and they went up stairs 楼梯 together. Mary and Kitty were both with Mrs. Bennet: one communication 通讯 would, therefore, do for all. After a slight 7 preparation 制备 for good news, the letter was read aloud 高声. Mrs. Bennet could hardly contain 包含 her‧self 她自己. As soon as Jane had read Mr. Gardiner’s hope of Lydia’s being soon married, her joy 喜悦 burst 爆裂 forth 向前, and every following sentence 句子 added to its exuberance. She was now in an irritation 刺激 as violent 猛烈 from delight 快乐, as she had ever been fidgety from alarm 警告 and vexation. To know that her daughter would be married was enough. She was disturbed 打扰 by no fear for her felicity, nor humbled 谦逊的 by any remembrance 纪念 of her misconduct 处理不当.
“My dear, dear Lydia!” she cried. “This is delightful 愉快 indeed! She will be married! I shall see her again! She will be married at six‧teen 十六! My good, kind brother! I knew know how it would be. I knew know he would manage 使用 everything! How I long to see her! and to see dear Wickham too! But the clothes 衣服，衣物, the wedding 结婚 clothes! I will write to my sister Gardiner about them directly. Lizzy, my dear, run down to your father, and ask him how much he will give her. Stay 11, stay, I will go myself 我. Ring 戒指；打电话 thebell 钟, Kitty, for Hill 小山. I will put on my things in a moment. My dear, dear Lydia! How merry 愉快的 we shall be together when we meet!”
Her eldest 最年长 daughter endeavoured to give some relief 宽慰 to the violence 暴力 of these transports 运输, by leading her thoughts to the obligations 义务；责任；职责 which Mr. Gardiner’s behaviour laid 放置:lay them all under.
“For we must attribute 特性；特质；属性 this happy 10 conclusion 结论,” she added, “in a great measure 测量 to his kindness 善良. We are persuaded 7 that he has pledged 保证 himself to assist 帮助；协助；援助 Mr. Wickham with money.”
“Well,” cried her mother, “it is all very right; who should do it but her own uncle? If he had not had a family of his own, I and my children must have had all his money, you know; and it is the first time we have ever had anything from him, except 8 a few presents. Well! I am so happy 11! In a short 9 time I shall have a daughter married. Mrs. Wickham! How well it sounds 声音! And she was only six‧teen 十六 last June. My dear Jane, I am in such a flutter 扑, that I am sure I can’t write; so I will dictate 听写, and you write for me. We will settle 解决；定居 with your father about the money after‧ward 之后; but the things should be ordered immediately.”
She was then proceeding 继续 to all the particulars 8 of calico, muslin, and cambric, and would shortly 短的 have dictated 听写 some very plentiful 丰富 orders, had not Jane, though with some difficulty 困难, persuaded 8 her to wait 等候 till her father was at leisure 闲暇 to be consulted 咨询；请教；查阅. One day’s delay 延迟, she observed 6, would be of small importance 8; and her mother was too happy to be quite so obstinate as usual. Other schemes 方案, too, came into her head.
“I will go to Meryton,” said she, “as soon as I am dressed 衣服, and tell the good, good news to my sister Philips. And as I come back, I can call on Lady Lucas and Mrs. Long. Kitty, run down and order the carriage 14. An airing 天空 would do me a great deal 7 of good, I am sure. Girls, can I do anything for you in Meryton? Oh! Here comes Hill 小山! My dear Hill, have you heard hear the good news? Miss Lydia is going to be married; and you shall all have a bowl 碗 of punch 冲床 to make merry 愉快的 at her wedding 结婚.”
Mrs. Hill 7 began begin instantly to express 9 her joy 喜悦. Elizabeth received her congratulations 祝贺 amongst 之中 the rest, and then, sick 病；恶心 of this folly 蠢事, took refuge 避难所 in her own room, that she might think with freedom 自由.
Poor Lydia’s situation 9 must, at best, be bad 7 enough; but that it was no worse 更坏的, she had need to be thankful 感谢. She felt feel it so; and though, in looking forward, neither rational 合理的 happiness 幸福 nor worldly prosperity 繁荣 could be justly expected for her sister, in looking back to what they had feared 7, only two hours ago, she felt feel all the advantages 有利条件 of what they had gained 获得.

Chapter 50
Mr. Bennet had very often wished before this period 时期，时间 of his life that, instead 代替 of spending 用钱；消磨时间 his whole income 收入, he had laid 放置:lay by an annual 全年 sum 和 for the better well provision 规定 of his children, and of his wife 9, if she survived 生存 him. He now wished it more many than ever. Had he done his duty 职责 in that respect 11, Lydia need not have been indebted 感激的 to her uncle for whatever 10 of honour or credit 信用 could now be purchased 采购 for her. The satisfaction 12 of prevailing 战胜 on one of the most many worth‧less 无用 young men in Great Britain to be her husband 7 might then have rested 休息，其余 in its proper 适当的 place.
He was seriously 严肃地 concerned 9 that a cause 6 of so little advantage 有利条件 to anyone 8 should be forwarded 前进地 at the sole 唯一 expense 费用 of his brother-in-law, and he was determined 6, if possible, to find out the extent 程度 of his assistance 帮助, and to discharge 卸货 the obligation 义务；责任；职责 as soon as he could.
When first Mr. Bennet had married, economy 经济 was held hold to be perfectly use‧less 无用, for, of course, they were to have a son 儿子. The son was to join 连接 in cutting 砍 off the entail 意味着, as soon as he should be of age 年龄, and the widow 寡妇 and younger children would by that means be provided for. Five daughters 女儿 successively 连续 entered the world, but yet the son 7 was to come; and Mrs. Bennet, for many years after Lydia’s birth 出生, had been certain that he would. This event 9 had at last been despaired 绝望 of, but it was then too late to be saving 节省. Mrs. Bennet had no turn for economy 经济, and her husband 8’s love of independence 独立 had alone 单独的 prevented 8 their exceeding 超过 their income 收入.
Five thou‧sand 千 pounds was settled by marriage articles 文章 on Mrs. Bennet and the children. But in what proportions 比例 it should be divided 分 amongst 之中 the latter 7 depended 依靠 on the will of the parents 父母. This was one point, with regard to Lydia, at least, which was now to be settled, and Mr. Bennet could have no hesitation 犹豫 in acceding to the proposal 提议 before him. In terms 9 of grateful 感激的 acknowledgment 承认 for the kindness 善良 of his brother, though expressed most many concisely 简洁, he then delivered 发表 onpaper 纸；报纸 his perfect 使完善；完美的 approbation of all that was done, and his willingness 愿意 to fulfil the engagements 订婚 that had been made for him. He had never before supposed 假定 that, could Wickham be prevailed 战胜 on to marry his daughter, it would be done with so little inconvenience 不方便 to himself as by the present arrangement 安排. He would scarcely be ten 十 pounds a year the loser 失去 by the hundred 百 that was to be paid pay them; for, what with her board 板，上船 and pocket 口袋 allowance 津贴；补贴, and the continual 持续 presents in money which passed to her through her mother’s hands, Lydia’s expenses 费用 had been very little within that sum 和.
That it would be done with such trifling 琐事 exertion on his side, too, was another very welcome 欢迎 surprise; for his wish at present was to have as little trouble 麻烦 in the business as possible. When the first transports 运输 of rage 愤怒 which had produced 生产 his activity 活动 in seeking 寻求 her were over, he naturally 自然地 returned to all his former indolence. His letter was soon dispatched 调度; for, though dilatory in under‧take 承担 business, he was quick 快的 in its execution 执行. He begged 乞讨 to know further 更远的 particulars 9 of what he was indebted 感激的 to his brother, but was too angry 生气的 with Lydia to send any mess‧age 信息 to her.
The good news spread 伸开 quickly 迅速地 through the house, and with proportionate speed 速度 through the neighbourhood. It was borne 生；熊:bear in the latter 8 with decent 正经 philosophy 哲学. To be sure, it would have been more many for the advantage 7 of conversation 11 had Miss Lydia Bennet come upon the town; or, as the happiest alter‧native 替代, been secluded 隔离 from the world, in some distant 遥远的 farm‧house 农家. But there was much to be talked 6 of in marrying 结婚 her; and the good-natured wishes for her well-doing which had proceeded 继续 before from all the spiteful old ladies 8 in Meryton lost but a little of their spirit 精神 in this change of circumstances 环境, because with such an husband 9 her misery 痛苦 was considered certain.
It was a fort‧night 两星期 since Mrs. Bennet had been downstairs 楼下; but on this happy day she again took her seat 席位 at the head of her table 8, and in spirits oppressively 压抑 high. No sentiment 情绪 of shame 羞愧 gave give a damp 微湿的 to her triumph 胜利. The marriage of a daughter, which had been the first object of her wishes since Jane was six‧teen 十六, was now on the point of accomplishment 成就, and her thoughts and her words ran run wholly 全 on those attend‧ant 服务员 of elegant 优雅 nuptials, fine 8 muslins, new carriages 运输, andservants 仆人. She was busily 忙碌的 searching 搜寻 through the neighbourhood for a proper 适当的 situation for her daughter, and, without knowing or considering what their income 收入 might be, rejected 拒绝 many as deficient 匮乏 in size 大小 and importance 9.
“Haye Park 7 might do,” said she, “if the Gouldings could quit 放弃 it—or the great house at Stoke, if the drawing 绘画-room were larger; but Ashworth is too far off! I could not bear 生；熊 to have her ten 十 miles 英里 from me; and as for Pulvis Lodge 存放, the attics 阁楼 are dreadful 可怕.”
Her husband 10 allowed 6 her to talk on without interruption 中断 while theservants 仆人 remained 8. But when they had withdrawn, he said to her: “Mrs. Bennet, before you take any or all of these houses for your son 8 and daughter, let us come to a right under‧stand 懂. Into one house in this neighbourhood they shall never have admittance. I will not encourage 鼓励 the impudence of either, by receiving 6 them at Longbourn.”
A long dispute 争议 followed this declaration 宣言; but Mr. Bennet was firm 坚固的. It soon led lead to another; and Mrs. Bennet found find, with amazement 惊愕 and horror 恐怖, that her husband 11 would not advance 往前推 a guinea 几内亚 to buy 购买 clothes 6 for his daughter. He protested 抗议 that she should receive 收到 from him no mark 斑点；标注 of affect‧ion 感情 whatever 11 on the occasion 10. Mrs. Bennet could hardly comprehend 理解 it. That his anger 生气 could be carried 运送；支撑 to such a point of inconceivable resentment 怨恨 as to refuse 拒绝 his daughter a privilege 特权 without which her marriage would scarcely seem valid 有效, exceeded 超过 all she could believe possible. She was more many alive 活的；有生命的 to the disgrace 耻辱 which her want of new clothes 7 must reflect 反射 on her daughter’s nuptials, than to any sense of shame 羞愧 at her eloping and living with Wickham a fort‧night 两星期 before they took place.
Elizabeth was now most many heartily 爽朗 sorry 13 that she had, from the distress 苦难 of the moment, been led lead to make Mr. Darcy acquainted 认识 with their fears 害怕 for her sister; for since her marriage would so shortly 短的 give the proper 适当的 termination 终止 to the elopement, they might hope to conceal 隐藏 its unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the spot 地点.
She had no fear of its spreading 伸开 farther far through his means. There were few people on whose secrecy 保密 she would have more many confidently 确信的 depended 依靠; but, at the same time, there was no one whose knowledge 知识；了解 of a sister’s frailty would have mortified her so much—not, however, from any fear of disadvantage 坏处 from it individually 单个 to her‧self 她自己, for, at any rate 速度, there seemed a gulf 海湾 impassable between them. Had Lydia’s marriage been concluded 得出结论 on the most many honourable terms, it was not to be supposed 假定 that Mr. Darcy would connect 连接 himself with a family where, to every other objection 反对, would now be added an alliance 联盟 and relation‧ship 关系 of the nearest kind with a man whom he so justly scorned 鄙视.
From such a connection 9 she could not wonder 7 that he would shrink. The wish of pro‧cure 促成 her regard, which she had assured her‧self 她自己 of his feeling in Derbyshire, could not in rational 合理的 expectation 期望 survive 生存 such a blow 吹；殴打 as this. She was humbled 谦逊的, she was grieved 悼; she repented, though she hardly knew know of what. She became become jealous 妒忌的 of his esteem 尊重, when she could no longer hope to be benefited 效益 by it. She wanted to hear of him, when there seemed the least chance 机会 of gaining 获得 intelligence 情报. She was convinced 说服 that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely 10 they should meet.
What a triumph 胜利 for him, as she often thought think, could he know that the proposals 提议 which she had proudly 自豪的 spurned only four months ago, would now have been most many gladly 高兴的 and gratefully 感激的 received! He was as generous 慷慨的, she doubted 怀疑 not, as the most many generous of his sex 性别; but while he was mortal 凡人, there must be a triumph 胜利.
She began begin now to comprehend 理解 that he was exactly 7 the man who, in disposition 性格 and talents 天赋, would most many suit 一套外衣 her. His under‧stand 懂 and temper 性情, though unlike 不像 her own, would have answered 8 all her wishes. It was an union 同盟 that must have been to the advantage 8 of both; by her ease 轻松 and liveliness, his mind might have been softened 软的:soft, his manners improved 改进; and from his judgement, information, and knowledge 7 of the world, she must have received benefit 效益 of greater importance 10.
But no such happy marriage could now teach 教 the admiring 赞赏 multitude 苠 what connubial felicity really was. An union 同盟 of a different tendency 趋势, and precluding 排除 the possibility 可能性 of the other, was soon to be formed in their family.
How Wickham and Lydia were to be supported 支持 in tolerable independence 独立, she could not imagine 想象. But how little of permanent 永久 happiness 幸福 could belong 属于 to a couple 两；双 who were only brought bring together because their passions 激情，热情；强烈情感 were stronger 强的 than their virtue 美德, she could easily conjecture 推测.
Mr. Gardiner soon wrote write again to his brother. To Mr. Bennet’s acknowledgments 承认 he briefly 短时间地 replied, with assurance 保证 of his eagerness to promote 促进 the welfare 津贴，福利 of any of his family; and concluded 得出结论 with entreaties that the subject might never be mentioned 7 to him again. The principal 主要 purport 旨趣 of his letter was to inform 通知 them that Mr. Wickham had resolved 解决 on quitting 放弃 the militia 民兵.
“It was greatly my wish that he should do so,” he added, “as soon as his marriage was fixed on. And I think you will agree 同意 with me, in considering the removal 切除 from that corps 兵团 as highly advisable 可取, both on his account and my niece 17’s. It is Mr. Wickham’s intention 意图 to go into the regulars 有规律的; and among 7 his former friends, there are still some who are able and willing to assist 帮助；协助；援助 him in the army 军队. He has the promise 允诺 of an ensigncy in General ——‘s regiment 团, now quartered 四分之一 in the North 北方. It is an advantage 9 to have it so far from this part of the kingdom 王国. He promises 允诺 fairly 公正地，一定地; and I hope among 8 different people, where they may each have a character to preserve 保护；保持原状, they will both be more many prudent 谨慎. I have written write to Colonel Forster, to inform 通知 him of our present arrangements 安排, and to request 要求 that he will satisfy 使满意 the various 各种 creditors 债权人 of Mr. Wickham in and near Brighton, with assurances 保证 of speedy 迅速 payment 付款, for which I have pledged 保证 myself 我. And will you give your‧self 你自己 the trouble 麻烦 of carrying 运送；支撑 similar 类似 assurances 保证 to his creditors 债权人 in Meryton, of whom I shall sub‧join 子‧连接 a list 清单 according 协议 to his information? He has given give in all his debts 6; I hope at least he has not deceived 6 us. Haggerston has our directions 方向, and all will be completed in a week. They will then join 连接 his regiment 团, unless 除非 they are first invited 邀请 to Longbourn; and I understand 7 from Mrs. Gardiner, that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all before she leaves the South 南方. She is well, and begs 乞讨 to be dutifully remembered 7 to you and her mother.—Yours, etc.,
“E. GARDINER.”
Mr. Bennet and his daughters 6 saw see all the advantages 有利条件 of Wickham’s removal 切除 from the ——shire as clearly as Mr. Gardiner could do. But Mrs. Bennet was not so well pleased 7 with it. Lydia’s being settled in the North 北方, just when she had expected most many pleasure and pride 11 in her company, for she had by no means given give up her plan of their residing 居住 in Hertfordshire, was a severe 严峻的 disappointment 失望; and, besides 而且, it was such a pity 怜悯 that Lydia should be taken from a regiment 团 where she was acquainted 认识 with every‧body 每人, and had so many favourites.
“She is so fond 喜欢的 of Mrs. Forster,” said she, “it will be quite shocking 震惊；震动 to send her away! And there are several of the young men, too, that she likes very much. The officers 8 may not be so pleasant 可爱的 in General ——‘s regiment 团.”
His daughter’s request 要求, for such it might be considered, of being admitted 许可进入 into her family again before she set off for the North 北方, received at first an absolute 绝对的 negative 负. But Jane and Elizabeth, who agreed 同意 in wishing 希望, for the sake 缘故 of their sister’s feelings and consequence 后果, that she should be noticed 注意 on her marriage by her parents 父母, urged 催促 him so ear‧nest 热心的 yet so rationally 合理的 and so mildly 温柔的, to receive 收到 her and her husband at Longbourn, as soon as they were married, that he was prevailed 战胜 on to think as they thought think, and act as they wished. And their mother had the satisfaction 13 of knowing that she would be able to show her married daughter in the neighbourhood before she was banished 放逐 to the North 北方. When Mr. Bennet wrote write again to his brother, therefore, he sent 派遣；送:send his per‧mission 允许 for them to come; and it was settled, that as soon as the ceremony 典礼 was over, they should proceed 继续 to Longbourn. Elizabeth was surprised 8, however, that Wickham should consent 同意 to such a scheme 方案, and had she consulted 咨询；请教；查阅 only her own inclination 倾角, any meeting with him would have been the last object of her wishes.

Chapter 51
Their sister’s wedding 结婚 day arrived 6; and Jane and Elizabeth felt feel for her probably 6 more many than she felt feel for her‧self 她自己. The carriage 15 was sent 派遣；送:send to meet them at ——, and they were to return in it by dinner 正餐-time. Their arrival 到达 was dreaded 恐惧 by the elder 年长的 Miss Bennets, and Jane more many especially 尤其地, who gave give Lydia the feelings which would have attended her‧self 她自己, had she been the culprit 罪魁祸首, and was wretched 不幸的人 in the thought think of what her sister must endure 忍受.
They came. The family were assembled 集合 in the break‧fast 早餐 room to receive 6 them. Smiles decked 甲板 the face of Mrs. Bennet as the carriage drove 7 up to the door 8; her husband looked impenetrably grave 坟墓；严重的; her daughters 7, alarmed 警告, anxious 焦急的, uneasy 不安.
Lydia’s voice 8 was heard hear in the vestibule; the door 9 was thrown 投掷:throw open, and she ran run into the room. Her mother stepped 步；走 forwards 前进地, embraced 拥抱 her, and welcomed 欢迎 her with rapture; gave give her hand, with an affectionate 亲热 smile 10, to Wickham, who followed his lady; and wished them both joy 喜悦 with an alacrity which shewed no doubt 8 of their happiness 幸福.
Their reception 招待会 from Mr. Bennet, to whom they then turned, was not quite so cordial. His countenance 面容 rather gained 获得 in austerity; and he scarcely opened his lips 嘴唇. The easy 容易的 assurance 保证 of the young couple 两；双, indeed, was enough to provoke 惹 him. Elizabeth was disgusted 反感, and even Miss Bennet was shocked 震惊；震动. Lydia was Lydia still; untamed, unabashed, wild 野生的, noisy 嘈杂, and fear‧less 害怕‧少. She turned from sister to sister, demanding 要求 their congratulations 祝贺; and when at length they all sat 坐:sit down, looked eagerly 渴望的 round 圆形的；围绕 the room, took notice 注意 of some little alteration 改造 in it, and observed 7, with a laugh 笑, that it was a great while since she had been there.
Wickham was not at all more many distressed 苦难 than her‧self 她自己, but his manners were always so pleasing 6, that had his character and his marriage been exactly 8 what they ought 9, his smiles 微笑 and his easy 6 address 地址, while he claimed 声称 their relationship 6, would have delighted 快乐 them all. Elizabeth had not before believed him quite equal 10 to such assurance 保证; but she sat 6 down, resolving 解决 within her‧self 她自己 to draw 绘画 no limits 限制 in future 将来的 to the impudence of an impudent man. She blushed 脸红, and Jane blushed 脸红; but the cheeks 脸颊 of the two who caused 原因；引起 their confusion 混乱 suffered 受痛苦 no variation 变异 of colour.
There was no want of discourse 演讲. The bride 新娘 and her mother could neither of them talk fast 快的 enough; and Wickham, who happened to sit 坐 near Elizabeth, began begin inquiring 打听 after his acquaintance 熟人 in that neighbourhood, with a good humoured ease 轻松 which she felt feel very unable 无法 to equal 11 in her replies 回答. They seemed each of them to have the happiest memories 记忆 in the world. Nothing of the past 过去的 was recollected with pain 9; and Lydia led lead voluntarily 自行 to subjects 主题 which her sisters would not have alluded 暗示 to for the world.
“Only think of its being three months,” she cried, “since I went away; it seems but a fort‧night 两星期 I declare 宣布; and yet there have been things enough happened in the time. Good gracious 亲切! when I went away, I am sure I had no more many idea of being married till I came back again! though I thought think it would be very good fun 乐趣 if I was.”
Her father lifted 举起 up his eyes. Jane was distressed 苦难. Elizabeth looked expressively 表现的 at Lydia; but she, who never heard hear nor saw see anything of which she chose 挑选:choose to be insensible, gaily 快乐的 continued, “Oh! mamma, do the people hereabouts know I am married to-day? I was afraid 10 they might not; and we overtook William Goulding in his curricle, so I was determined 7 he should know it, and so I let down the side- glass 玻璃 next to him, and took off my glove 手套, and let my hand just rest upon the window 窗 frame 框架, so that he might see the ring 戒指；打电话, and then I bowed 弓 and smiled 微笑 like anything.”
Elizabeth could bear 6 it no longer. She got get up, and ran run out of the room; and returned no more many, till she heard hear them passing 走过 through the hall 过道 to the dining 6 parlour. She then joined 6 them soon enough to see Lydia, with anxious 9 parade 游行, walk up to her mother’s right hand, and hear her say to her eldest 最年长 sister, “Ah! Jane, I take your place now, and you must go lower 低的, because I am a married woman.”
It was not to be supposed 假定 that time would give Lydia that embarrassment 困窘 from which she had been so wholly 全 free 自由的 at first. Her ease 8 and good spirits increased. She longed to see Mrs. Phillips, the Lucases, and all their other neighbours, and to hear her‧self 她自己 called “Mrs. Wickham” by each of them; and in the mean time, she went after dinner 正餐 to show her ring 戒指；打电话, and boast 自夸 of being married, to Mrs. Hill 8 and the two housemaids.
“Well, mamma,” said she, when they were all returned to the break‧fast 早餐 room, “and what do you think of my husband? Is not he a charming 魔力；使陶醉 man? I am sure my sisters must all envy 嫉妒 me. I only hope they may have half my good luck 运气. They must all go to Brighton. That is the place to get husbands 丈夫. What a pity 怜悯 it is, mamma, we did not all go.”
“Very true 真正的; 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?”
“Oh, lord 主! 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 冬, and I dare 10 say there will be some balls 球, and I will take care 7 to get good partners 伙伴 for them all.”
“I should like it beyond anything!” said her mother.
“And then when you go away, you may leave one or two of my sisters behind you; and I dare 11 say I shall get husbands 丈夫 for them before the winter is over.”
“I thank 谢谢 you for my share 股 of the favour,” said Elizabeth; “but I do not particularly like your way of getting husbands.”
Their visitors 6 were not to remain 留；剩余 above ten 十 days with them. Mr. Wickham had received his commission 佣金 before he left London, and he was to join 连接 his regiment 团 at the end of a fort‧night 两星期.
No one but Mrs. Bennet regretted 后悔 that their stay would be so short; and she made the most many of the time by visiting 访问 about with her daughter, and having very frequent 频繁的 parties 社交聚会 at home. These parties 6 were accept‧able 接受 to all; to avoid 避开 a family circle 圆 was even more many desirable 合意 to such as did think, than such as did not.
Wickham’s affect‧ion 感情 for Lydia was just what Elizabeth had expected to find it; not equal to Lydia’s for him. She had scarcely needed her present observation 意见 to be satisfied 使满意, from the reason of things, that their elopement had been brought bring on by the strength 力量 of her love, rather than by his; and she would have wondered 琢磨；奇妙 why, without violently 猛烈 caring 关心 for her, he chose 挑选:choose to elope with her at all, had she not felt feel certain that his flight 飞行 was rendered 给予 necessary 6 by distress 苦难 of circumstances 环境; and if that were the case, he was not the young man to resist 抵抗 an opportunity 7 of having a companion 同伴.
Lydia was exceedingly 非常 fond 喜欢的 of him. He was her dear Wickham on every occasion 11; no one was to be put in competition 竞争 with him. He did every thing best in the world; and she was sure he would kill 杀死… more many birds 鸟 on the first of September, than any body 身体 else 7 in the country.
One morning, soon after their arrival 到达, as she was sitting 坐 with her two elder 年长的 sisters, she said to Elizabeth:
“Lizzy, I never gave give you an account of my wedding 结婚, I believe. You were not by, when I told tell mamma and the others all about it. Are not you curious 好奇的 to hear how it was managed 使用?”
“No really,” replied Elizabeth; “I think there cannot be too little said on the subject.”
“La! You are so strange 奇怪；陌生! But I must tell you how it went off. We were married, you know, at St. Clement’s, because Wickham’s lodgings 存放 were in that parish 教区. And it was settled that we should all be there by eleven 十一 o’ clock 钟. My uncle and aunt and I were to go together; and the others were to meet us at the church. Well, Monday morning came, and I was in such a fuss 小题大作! I was so afraid 11, you know, that something would happen 发生 to put it off, and then I should have gone quite distracted 转移. And there was my aunt, all the time I was dressing 衣服, preaching 说教 and talking 8 away just as if she was reading a sermon 讲道. However, I did not hear above one word in ten 十, for I was thinking, you may suppose, of my dear Wickham. I longed to know whether he would be married in his blue 蓝色 coat 上衣.”
“Well, and so we break‧fast 早餐 at ten 十 as usual; I thought think it would never be over; for, by the bye 再见, you are to understand 8, that my uncle and aunt were horrid unpleasant 不愉快 all the time I was with them. If you’ll believe me, I did not once put my foot 脚；英尺 out of doors 门, though I was there a fort‧night 两星期. Not one party, or scheme 方案, or anything. To be sure London was rather thin 薄的, but, however, the Little Theatre was open. Well, and so just as the carriage came to the door, my uncle was called away upon business to that horrid man Mr. Stone 石头. And then, you know, when once they get together, there is no end of it. Well, I was so frightened 使惊恐 I did not know what to do, for my uncle was to give me away; and if we were beyond the hour, we could not be married all day. But, luckily 幸, he came back again in ten 十 minutes’ time, and then we all set out. However, I recollected after‧ward 之后 that if he had been prevented 9 going, the wedding 结婚 need not be put off, for Mr. Darcy might have done as well.”
“Mr. Darcy!” repeated 9 Elizabeth, in utter 说出 amazement 惊愕.
“Oh, yes!—he was to come there with Wickham, you know. But gracious 亲切 me! I quite forgot 忘记:forget! I ought 10 not to have said a word about it. I promised 6 them so faithfully 忠实! What will Wickham say? It was to be such a secret 秘密!”
“If it was to be secret,” said Jane, “say not another word on the subject. You may depend 依靠 upon my seeking 寻求 no further 6.”
“Oh! certainly,” said Elizabeth, though burning 烧 with curiosity 好奇心; “we will ask you no questions.”
“ Thank 谢谢 you,” said Lydia, “for if you did, I should certainly tell you all, and then Wickham would be angry 生气的.”
On such encouragement 鼓励 to ask, Elizabeth was forced to put it out of her power, by running away.
But to live in ignorance 无知 on such a point was impossible; or at least it was impossible not to try for information. Mr. Darcy had been at her sister’s wedding 结婚. It was exactly 9 a scene 9, and exactly among 9 people, where he had apparently 据…所知；看来；据说；听说 least to do, and least temptation 诱惑 to go. Conjectures as to the meaning of it, rapid 快速的 and wild 8, hurried 8 into her brain 脑; but she was satisfied 6 with none 没有人. Those that best pleased 8 her, as placing his conduct 进行 in the noblest 高尚的 light, seemed most many improbable 难以置信. She could not bear 7 such suspense 悬念; and hastily 草草 seizing 抓住 a sheet 纸 ofpaper 纸；报纸, wrote write a short letter to her aunt, to request 要求 an explanation 说明 of what Lydia had dropt, if it were compatible 兼容 with the secrecy 保密 which had been intended 7.
“You may readily 准备好的 comprehend 理解,” she added, “what my curiosity 好奇心 must be to know how a person unconnected with any of us, and (comparatively 比较 speaking 讲) a stranger 奇怪；陌生 to our family, should have been amongst 之中 you at such a time. Pray 祈祷 write instantly, and let me understand 9 it— unless 除非 it is, for very cogent reasons 理由, to remain 留；剩余 in the secrecy 保密 which Lydia seems to think necessary 7; and then I must endeavour to be satisfied 7 with ignorance 无知.”
“Not that I shall, though,” she added to her‧self 她自己, as she finished 完成 the letter; “and my dear aunt, if you do not tell me in an honourable manner, I shall certainly be reduced 减少 to tricks 哄骗；诀窍 and stratagems to find it out.”
Jane’s delicate 微妙的；纤弱的 sense of honour would not allow 允许 her to speak to Elizabeth privately 私有的 of what Lydia had let fall 落下; Elizabeth was glad 8 of it;—till it appeared 9 whether her inquiries 9 would receive 7 any satisfaction 14, she had rather be without a confidante.

Elizabeth had the satisfaction 15 of receiving 7 an answer to her letter as soon as she possibly could. She was no sooner 立刻 in possession 所有物 of it than, hurrying 赶紧 into the little copse, where she was least likely 11 to be interrupted 打断, she sat 7 down on one of the benches 长凳 and prepared 准备 to be happy; for the length of the letter convinced 说服 her that it did not contain 包含 a denial 否认.
“Gracechurch street 街, Sept. 6.
“MY DEAR NIECE,
“I have just received your letter, and shall devote 奉献 this whole morning to answering 答复 it, as I fore‧see 预料 that a little writing will not comprise 包括 what I have to tell you. I must confess 供认 myself 我 surprised 9 by your application 应用; I did not expect it from you. Don’t think me angry 生气的, however, for I only mean to let you know that I had not imagined 想象 such inquiries to be necessary 8 on your side. If you do not choose 挑选 to understand me, for‧give 原谅 my impertinence. Your uncle is as much surprised as I am—and nothing but the belief 信 of your being a party concerned would have allowed 7 him to act as he has done. But if you are really innocent 无辜 and ignorant 愚昧, I must be more many explicit 明确的.
“On the very day of my coming home from Longbourn, your uncle had a most many unexpected 意外 visitor 访问者. Mr. Darcy called, and was shut 关闭 up with him several hours. It was all over before I arrived 7; so my curiosity 好奇心 was not so dreadfully 可怕 racked 架 as yours seems to have been. He came to tell Mr. Gardiner that he had found find out where your sister and Mr. Wickham were, and that he had seen see and talked 7 with them both; Wickham repeatedly 反复, Lydia once. From what I can collect 收集, he left Derbyshire only one day after ourselves 我们自己, and came to town with the resolution 解析度 of hunting 打猎 for them. The motive 动机 professed 宣称 was his conviction 定罪 of its being owing 欠…债 to himself that Wickham’s worthlessness had not been so well known know as to make it impossible for any young woman of character to love or confide 信任 in him. He generously 慷慨的 imputed the whole to his mistaken 错误 pride 12, and confessed 供认 that he had before thought think it beneath 之下 him to lay 放置 his private 私有的 actions 行动 open to the world. His character was to speak for itself 本身. He called it, therefore, his duty 职责 to step forward, and endeavour to remedy 治疗法 an evil 邪恶的 which had been brought bring on by himself. If he had another motive 动机, I am sure it would never disgrace 耻辱 him. He had been some days in town, before he was able to discover 发现 them; but he had something to direct his search 搜寻, which was more many than we had; and the consciousness 意识 of this was another reason for his resolving 解决 to follow us.
“There is a lady, it seems, a Mrs. Younge, who was some time ago governess to Miss Darcy, and was dismissed 解雇 from her charge 装载 on some cause 7 of disapprobation, though he did not say what. She then took a large house in Edward-street 6, and has since maintained 保持 her‧self 她自己 by letting lodgings 存放. This Mrs. Younge was, he knew know, intimately 密切 acquainted 认识 with Wickham; and he went to her for intelligence 情报 of him as soon as he got get to town. But it was two or three days before he could get from her what he wanted. She would not betray 背叛 her trust 信任, I suppose, without bribery 行贿 and corruption 腐败, for she really did know where her friend was to be found find. Wickham indeed had gone to her on their first arrival 到达 in London, and had she been able to receive 8 them into her house, they would have taken up their abode with her. At length, however, our kind friend pro‧cure 促成 the wished-for direction 方向. They were in —— street 7. He saw see Wickham, and after‧ward 之后 insisted 咬定 on seeing Lydia. His first object with her, he acknowledged 确认, had been to persuade 说服 her to quit 放弃 her present disgraceful situation, and return to her friends as soon as they could be prevailed 战胜 on to receive 9 her, offering 提供 his assistance 帮助, as far as it would go. But he found find Lydia absolutely 7 resolved 解决 on remaining 留；剩余 where she was. She cared 关心 for none 没有人 of her friends; she wanted no help of his; she would not hear of leaving Wickham. She was sure they should be married some time or other, and it did not much signify 表示 when. Since such were her feelings, it only remained 9, he thought think, to secure 安全 and expedite a marriage, which, in his very first conversation 12 with Wickham, he easily learnt 学习:learn had never been his design 7. He confessed 供认 himself obliged 责成 to leave the regiment 团, on account of some debts 7 of honour, which were very pressing 压; and scrupled not to lay 放置 all the ill-consequences 后果 of Lydia’s flight 飞行 on her own folly 蠢事 alone 7. He meant mean to resign 辞职 his commission 佣金 immediately; and as to his future 将来的 situation, he could conjecture 推测 very little about it. He must go some‧where 某处, but he did not know where, and he knew know he should have nothing to live on.
“Mr. Darcy asked him why he had not married your sister at once. Though Mr. Bennet was not imagined 想象 to be very rich 富有的, he would have been able to do something for him, and his situation must have been benefited 效益 by marriage. But he found find, in reply 回答 to this question, that Wickham still cherished 珍视 the hope of more many effectually making his for‧tune 命运 by marriage in some other country. Under such circumstances 环境, however, he was not likely to be proof 证明 against the temptation 诱惑 of immediate 立即的 relief 宽慰.
“They met meet several times, for there was much to be discussed 讨论. Wickham of course wanted more many than he could get; but at length was reduced 减少 to be reason‧able 合理的.
“Every thing being settled between them, Mr. Darcy’s next step was to make your uncle acquainted 认识 with it, and he first called in Gracechurch street 8 the evening before I came home. But Mr. Gardiner could not be seen see, and Mr. Darcy found find, on further 7 inquiry 调查, that your father was still with him, but would quit 放弃 town the next morning. He did not judge 审判 your father to be a person whom he could so properly 正确地 consult 咨询；请教；查阅 as your uncle, and therefore readily 6 postponed 使延期 seeing him till after the departure 离开 of the former. He did not leave his name, and till the next day it was only known know that a gentleman 8 had called on business.
“On Saturday he came again. Your father was gone, your uncle at home, and, as I said before, they had a great deal 8 of talk together.
“They met meet again on Sunday, and then I saw see him too. It was not all settled before Monday: as soon as it was, the express 10 was sent 派遣；送:send off to Longbourn. But our visitor 访问者 was very obstinate. I fancy 想像, Lizzy, that obstinacy is the real defect 缺陷 of his character, after all. He has been accused 指责 of many faults 缺点 at different times, but this is the true 真正的 one. Nothing was to be done that he did not do himself; though I am sure (and I do not speak it to be thanked 谢谢, therefore say nothing about it), your uncle would most many readily 7 have settled the whole.
“They battled 与…作战 it together for a long time, which was more many than either the gentleman 9 or lady concerned in it deserved 应受. But at last your uncle was forced to yield 屈服, and instead 代替 of being allowed 8 to be of use to his niece, was forced to put up with only having the probable 可能的 credit 信用 of it, which went sorely 疼痛的 against the grain 谷物; and I really believe your letter this morning gave give him great pleasure, because it required 需要；有赖于；要求 an explanation 说明 that would rob 抢劫 him of his borrowed 借 feathers 羽毛, and give the praise 赞扬 where it was due 由于. But, Lizzy, this must go no farther far than your‧self 你自己, or Jane at most many.
“You know pretty 漂亮的 well, I suppose, what has been done for the young people. His debts 8 are to be paid pay, amounting 量, I believe, to consider‧able 相当 more many than a thou‧sand 千 pounds, another thou‧sand 千 in addition 加成 to her own settled upon her, and his commission 佣金 purchased 采购. The reason why all this was to be done by him alone 8, was such as I have given give above. It was owing 欠…债 to him, to his reserve 预订；保留 and want of proper 适当的 consideration 考虑, that Wickham’s character had been so misunderstood, and consequently 所以 that he had been received and noticed 注意 as he was. Perhaps there was some truth 11 in this; though I doubt 9 whether his reserve, or anybody 8’s reserve, can be answer‧able 答复‧能够的 for the event 10. But in spite 恶意 of all this fine 9 talking 9, my dear Lizzy, you may rest perfectly assured that your uncle would never have yielded 屈服, if we had not given give him credit 信用 for another interest in the affair 10.
“When all this was resolved 解决 on, he returned again to his friends, who were still staying 停留 at Pemberley; but it was agreed 同意 that he should be in London once more many when the wedding 结婚 took place, and all money matters were then to receive the last finish 完成.
“I believe I have now told tell you every thing. It is a relation 关系 which you tell me is to give you great surprise; I hope at least it will not afford 买得起 you any displeasure. Lydia came to us; and Wickham had constant 不变 admission 准许进入 to the house. He was exactly what he had been, when I knew know him in Hertfordshire; but I would not tell you how little I was satisfied 8 with her behaviour while she staid with us, if I had not perceived 认为, by Jane’s letter last Wednesday, that her conduct 进行 on coming home was exactly of a piece 块 with it, and therefore what I now tell you can give you no fresh 新鲜的 pain 10. I talked 8 to her repeatedly 反复 in the most many serious 9 manner, representing 代表 to her all the wickedness of what she had done, and all the unhappiness 不幸 she had brought bring on her family. If she heard hear me, it was by good luck 运气, for I am sure she did not listen 倾听. I was sometimes 9 quite provoked 惹, but then I recollected my dear Elizabeth and Jane, and for their sakes 缘故 had patience 耐心 with her.
“Mr. Darcy was punctual 准时 in his return, and as Lydia informed 通知 you, attended the wedding 结婚. He dined 吃饭 with us the next day, and was to leave town again on Wednesday or Thursday. Will you be very angry 生气的 with me, my dear Lizzy, if I take this opportunity 8 of saying (what I was never bold 胆大的；醒目的 enough to say before) how much I like him. His behaviour to us has, in every respect, been as pleasing 7 as when we were in Derbyshire. His under‧stand 懂 and opinions 意见 all please 请;讨人喜欢 me; he wants nothing but a little more many liveliness, and that, if he marry prudently 谨慎, his wife may teach 教 him. I thought think him very sly;—he hardly ever mentioned 8 your name. But slyness seems the fashion 时尚.
“ Pray 祈祷 for‧give 原谅 me if I have been very presuming 假设, or at least do not punish 处罚 me so far as to exclude 阻止…进入；把…排斥在外 me from P. I shall never be quite happy till I have been all round 圆形的；围绕 the park 8. A low 低的 phaeton, with a nice 美好的 little pair 一副 of ponies 小马, would be the very thing.
“But I must write no more many. The children have been wanting me this half hour.
“Yours, very sincerely 真诚的,
“M. GARDINER.”
The contents 内容 of this letter threw 投掷:throw Elizabeth into a flutter 扑 of spirits, in which it was difficult 困难的 to determine 决心 whether pleasure or pain 11 bore 厌倦；厌烦；生 the greatest share 股. The vague 模糊 and unsettled 搞糟 suspicions 怀疑 which uncertainty 不确定 had produced 生产 of what Mr. Darcy might have been doing to forward her sister’s match 比赛；火柴, which she had feared 8 to encourage 鼓励 as an exertion of goodness 善良 too great to be probable 可能的, and at the same time dreaded 恐惧 to be just, from the pain of obligation 义务；责任；职责, were proved 8 beyond their greatest extent 程度 to be true 真正的! He had followed them purposely 目的 to town, he had taken on himself all the trouble 麻烦 and mortification attend‧ant 服务员 on such a research 研究；调查；探索; in which supplication had been necessary 9 to a woman whom he must abominate and despise 讨厌, and where he was reduced 减少 to meet, frequently 6 meet, reason with, persuade 说服, and finally 最后 bribe 贿赂, the man whom he always most many wished to avoid 避开, and whose very name it was punishment 惩罚 to him to pronounce 发音. He had done all this for a girl whom he could neither regard nor esteem 尊重. Her heart did whisper 低声说 that he had done it for her. But it was a hope shortly 6 checked 检查 by other considerations 考虑, and she soon felt feel that even her vanity 虚荣 was insufficient 不足, when required 需要；有赖于；要求 to depend 依靠 on his affect‧ion 感情 for her—for a woman who had already 7 refused 拒绝 him—as able to over‧come 战胜 a sentiment 情绪 so natural 自然 as abhorrence against relationship 7 with Wickham. Brother-in-law of Wickham! Every kind of pride 13 must revolt 反叛 from the connection 10. He had, to be sure, done much. She was ashamed 惭愧的 to think how much. But he had given give a reason for his interference 干涉, which asked no extra‧ordinary 非凡的 stretch 伸展 of belief 8. It was reason‧able 合理的 that he should feel he had been wrong 有毛病的; he had liberality, and he had the means of exercising 练习 it; and though she would not place her‧self 她自己 as his principal 主要 inducement, she could, perhaps, believe that remaining 留；剩余 partiality for her might assist 帮助；协助；援助 his endeavours in a cause 8 where her peace 和平 of mind must be materially 材料 concerned. It was painful 痛苦, exceedingly 非常 painful 痛苦, to know that they were under obligations 义务；责任；职责 to a person who could never receive a return. They owed 欠…债 the restoration 恢复 of Lydia, her character, every thing, to him. Oh! how heartily 爽朗 did she grieve 悼 over every ungracious sensation 感觉 she had ever encouraged 鼓励, every saucy speech 演说 she had ever directed towards him. For her‧self 她自己 she was humbled 谦逊的; but she was proud 自豪的 of him. Proud that in a cause 9 of compassion 同情 and honour, he had been able to get the better well of himself. She read over her aunt’s commendation of him again and again. It was hardly enough; but it pleased 9 her. She was even sensible 明智 of some pleasure, though mixed 混合 with regret 10, on finding how steadfastly both she and her uncle had been persuaded 9 that affect‧ion 感情 and confidence 信心 subsisted between Mr. Darcy and her‧self 她自己.
She was roused 唤醒 from her seat 席位, and her reflections 反映, by some one’s approach 靠近; and before she could strike 敲击 into another path 小路, she was overtaken by Wickham.
“I am afraid 12 I interrupt 打断 your solitary 孤 ramble 漫谈, my dear sister?” said he, as he joined 7 her.
“You certainly do,” she replied with a smile 11; “but it does not follow that the interruption 中断 must be unwelcome 不受欢迎.”
“I should be sorry indeed, if it were. We were always good friends; and now we are better well.”
“True 6. Are the others coming out?”
“I do not know. Mrs. Bennet and Lydia are going in the carriage to Meryton. And so, my dear sister, I find, from our uncle and aunt, that you have actually 实际上 seen see Pemberley.”
She replied in the affirmative 肯定.
“I almost envy 嫉妒 you the pleasure, and yet I believe it would be too much for me, or else 8 I could take it in my way to Newcastle. And you saw see the old house‧keep 管家, I suppose? Poor Reynolds, she was always very fond 喜欢的 of me. But of course she did not mention my name to you.”
“Yes, she did.”
“And what did she say?”
“That you were gone into the army 军队, and she was afraid 13 had—not turned out well. At such a distance 距离 as that, you know, things are strangely 奇怪；陌生 misrepresented.”
“Certainly,” he replied, biting 咬 his lips 嘴唇. Elizabeth hoped 希望 she had silenced 沉默 him; but he soon after‧ward 之后 said:
“I was surprised to see Darcy in town last month 月. We passed each other several times. I wonder 8 what he can be doing there.”
“Perhaps preparing 准备 for his marriage with Miss de Bourgh,” said Elizabeth. “It must be something particular, to take him there at this time of year.”
“Undoubtedly. Did you see him while you were at Lambton? I thought think I understood 懂:understand from the Gardiners that you had.”
“Yes; he introduced 提出 us to his sister.”
“And do you like her?”
“Very much.”
“I have heard hear, indeed, that she is uncommonly 罕见 improved 改进 within this year or two. When I last saw see her, she was not very promising 允诺. I am very glad 9 you liked her. I hope she will turn out well.”
“I dare 12 say she will; she has got get over the most many trying age 年龄.”
“Did you go by the village 村庄 of Kympton?”
“I do not recollect that we did.”
“I mention it, because it is the living which I ought 11 to have had. A most many delightful 愉快 place!— Excellent 卓越的 Parsonage House! It would have suited 套房 me in every respect.”
“How should you have liked making sermons 讲道?”
“Exceedingly well. I should have considered it as part of my duty 职责, and the exertion would soon have been nothing. One ought 12 not to repine;—but, to be sure, it would have been such a thing for me! The quiet 清静的, the retirement 退休 of such a life would have answered 9 all my ideas 主意 of happiness 幸福! But it was not to be. Did you ever hear Darcy mention the circumstance 环境, when you were in Kent?”
“I have heard hear from authority 权威, which I thought think as good, that it was left you conditionally 有条件的 only, and at the will of the present patron 顾客.”
“You have. Yes, there was something in that; I told tell you so from the first, you may remember 记得.”
“I did hear, too, that there was a time, when sermon 讲道-making was not so palatable to you as it seems to be at present; that you actually 实际上 declared 宣布 your resolution 解析度 of never taking orders, and that the business had been compromised 妥协 accordingly 于是.”
“You did! and it was not wholly 全 without foundation 基础. You may remember what I told tell you on that point, when first we talked 9 of it.”
They were now almost at the door of the house, for she had walked fast 快的 to get rid 使摆脱 of him; and unwilling 不甘, for her sister’s sake 缘故, to provoke 惹 him, she only said in reply 回答, with a good-humoured smile:
“Come, Mr. Wickham, we are brother and sister, you know. Do not let us quarrel 争吵 about the past 6. In future 将来的, I hope we shall be always of one mind.”
She held hold out her hand; he kissed 接吻 it with affectionate 亲热 gallantry, though he hardly knew know how to look, and they entered the house.

Mr. Wickham was so perfectly satisfied 9 with this conversation 13 that he never again distressed 苦难 himself, or provoked 惹 his dear sister Elizabeth, by introducing 提出 the subject of it; and she was pleased to find that she had said enough to keep him quiet 清静的.
The day of his and Lydia’s departure 离开 soon came, and Mrs. Bennet was forced to submit 给 to a separation 分离, which, as her husband by no means entered into her scheme 方案 of their all going to Newcastle, was likely to continue at least a twelve‧month 十二‧月.
“Oh! my dear Lydia,” she cried, “when shall we meet again?”
“Oh, lord 主! I don’t know. Not these two or three years, perhaps.”
“Write to me very often, my dear.”
“As often as I can. But you know married women have never much time for writing. My sisters may write to me. They will have nothing else 9 to do.”
Mr. Wickham’s adieus were much more many affectionate 亲热 than his wife’s. He smiled 微笑, looked hand‧some 英俊, and said many pretty 7 things.
“He is as fine 10 a fellow 同伴,” said Mr. Bennet, as soon as they were out of the house, “as ever I saw see. He simpers, and smirks, and makes love to us all. I am prodigiously proud 8 of him. I defy 违抗 even Sir 9 William Lucas himself to produce 生产 a more many valuable 贵重的 son 9-in-law.”
The loss 损失 of her daughter made Mrs. Bennet very dull 钝的；没兴趣 for several days.
“I often think,” said she, “that there is nothing so bad 8 as parting with one’s friends. One seems so forlorn without them.”
“This is the consequence 后果, you see, Madam, of marrying 6 a daughter,” said Elizabeth. “It must make you better well satisfied that your other four are single 单一的.”
“It is no such thing. Lydia does not leave me because she is married, but only because her husband’s regiment 团 happens 发生 to be so far off. If that had been nearer, she would not have gone so soon.”
But the spirit‧less 精神‧少 condition 状态 which this event 11 threw 投掷:throw her into was shortly 7 relieved 解除, and her mind opened again to the agitation 搅动 of hope, by an article 文章 of news which then began begin to be in circulation 循环. The house‧keep 管家 at Netherfield had received orders to prepare 准备 for the arrival 到达 of her master, who was coming down in a day or two, to shoot 射击；拍摄 there for several weeks. Mrs. Bennet was quite in the fidgets. She looked at Jane, and smiled 微笑 and shook 摇晃:shake her head by turns.
“Well, well, and so Mr. Bingley is coming down, sister,” (for Mrs. Phillips first brought bring her the news). “Well, so much the better well. Not that I care 8 about it, though. He is nothing to us, you know, and I am sure I never want to see him again. But, however, he is very welcome 欢迎 to come to Netherfield, if he likes it. And who knows what may happen 发生? But that is nothing to us. You know, sister, we agreed 同意 long ago never to mention a word about it. And so, is it quite certain he is coming?”
“You may depend 依靠 on it,” replied the other, “for Mrs. Nicholls was in Meryton last night; I saw see her passing 走过 by, and went out myself 我 on purpose 目的 to know the truth of it; and she told tell me that it was certain true 7. He comes down on Thursday at the latest, very likely on Wednesday. She was going to the butcher 屠夫’s, she told tell me, on purpose to order in some meat 肉 on Wednesday, and she has got get three couple 两；双 of ducks 鸭子 just fit 合适 to be killed 杀死….”
Miss Bennet had not been able to hear of his coming without changing colour. It was many months since she had mentioned 9 his name to Elizabeth; but now, as soon as they were alone 9 together, she said:
“I saw see you look at me to-day, Lizzy, when my aunt told tell us of the present report; and I know I appeared distressed 苦难. But don’t imagine 想象 it was from any silly 愚蠢 cause. I was only confused 使困窘 for the moment, because I felt feel that I should be looked at. I do assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you that the news does not affect 影响 me either with pleasure or pain. I am glad 10 of one thing, that he comes alone 10; because we shall see the less little of him. Not that I am afraid of myself 我, but I dread 恐惧 other people’s remarks 注意；评论.”
Elizabeth did not know what to make of it. Had she not seen see him in Derbyshire, she might have supposed 假定 him cap‧able 能 of coming there with no other view 看法 than what was acknowledged 确认; but she still thought think him partial 局部 to Jane, and she wavered 动摇 as to the greater probability 可能性 of his coming there with his friend’s per‧mission 允许, or being bold 胆大的；醒目的 enough to come without it.
“Yet it is hard 硬；困难的,” she sometimes thought think, “that this poor man cannot come to a house which he has legally 法律上 hired 聘用, without raising 提升；种 all this speculation 推测! I will leave him to himself.”
In spite 恶意 of what her sister declared 6, and really believed to be her feelings in the expectation 期望 of his arrival 到达, Elizabeth could easily perceive 认为 that her spirits were affected 影响 by it. They were more many disturbed 打扰, more many unequal 不等, than she had often seen see them.
The subject which had been so warmly 暖和的 canvassed 帆布 between their parents 父母, about a twelve‧month 十二‧月 ago, was now brought bring forward again.
“As soon as ever Mr. Bingley comes, my dear,” said Mrs. Bennet, “you will wait 等候 on him of course.”
“No, no. You forced me into visiting 访问 him last year, and promised 7, if I went to see him, he should marry one of my daughters 8. But it ended in nothing, and I will not be sent 派遣；送:send on a fool 愚人’s errand 使命 again.”
His wife represented 代表 to him how absolutely 8 necessary such an attention would be from all the neighbouring gentlemen, on his returning 回转 to Netherfield.
“‘Tis an etiquette I despise 讨厌,” said he. “If he wants our society 社会, let him seek 寻求 it. He knows where we live. I will not spend 用钱；消磨时间 my hours in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back again.”
“Well, all I know is, that it will be abominably rude 粗鲁的 if you do not wait 6 on him. But, however, that shan’t prevent 预防 my asking him to dine 吃饭 here, I am determined 8. We must have Mrs. Long and the Gouldings soon. That will make thirteen 十三 with ourselves 我们自己, so there will be just room at table 9 for him.”
Consoled by this resolution 解析度, she was the better well able to bear 8 her husband’s incivility; though it was very mortifying to know that her neighbours might all see Mr. Bingley, in consequence 后果 of it, before they did. As the day of his arrival 到达 drew 绘画:draw near,—
“I begin to be sorry that he comes at all,” said Jane to her sister. “It would be nothing; I could see him with perfect 7 indifference 漠不关心, but I can hardly bear 9 to hear it thus perpetually 永动的 talked of. My mother means well; but she does not know, no one can know, how much I suffer 受痛苦 from what she says. Happy shall I be, when his stay at Netherfield is over!”
“I wish I could say anything to comfort you,” replied Elizabeth; “but it is wholly 全 out of my power. You must feel it; and the usual satisfaction of preaching 说教 patience 耐心 to a sufferer 受痛苦 is denied 拒绝 me, because you have always so much.”
Mr. Bingley arrived 8. Mrs. Bennet, through the assistance 帮助 of servants 6, contrived 图谋 to have the earliest tidings 潮汐 of it, that the period 时期，时间 of anxiety 焦虑 and fretfulness on her side might be as long as it could. She counted 数；总数 the days that must intervene 干预 before their invitation 邀请 could be sent 6; hope‧less 绝望 of seeing him before. But on the third morning after his arrival 到达 in Hertfordshire, she saw see him, from her dressing 衣服-room window 窗, enter 7 the pad‧dock 垫‧码头 and ride 乘 towards the house.
Her daughters 9 were eagerly 渴望的 called to par‧take 平价‧拿 of her joy 喜悦. Jane resolutely kept keep her place at the table; but Elizabeth, to satisfy 使满意 her mother, went to the window—she looked,—she saw see Mr. Darcy with him, and sat 8 down again by her sister.
“There is a gentleman 10 with him, mamma,” said Kitty; “who can it be?”
“Some acquaintance 熟人 or other, my dear, I suppose; I am sure I do not know.”
“La!” replied Kitty, “it looks just like that man that used to be with him before. Mr. what’s-his-name. That tall 身高；高的, proud 9 man.”
“Good gracious 亲切! Mr. Darcy!—and so it does, I vow 发誓. Well, any friend of Mr. Bingley’s will always be welcome 欢迎 here, to be sure; but else 10 I must say that I hate 仇恨 the very sight 视力 of him.”
Jane looked at Elizabeth with surprise and concern. She knew know but little of their meeting in Derbyshire, and therefore felt feel for the awkwardness which must attend 出席 her sister, in seeing him almost for the first time after receiving 8 his explanatory 解释性 letter. Both sisters were uncomfortable 不舒服 enough. Each felt feel for the other, and of course for themselves; and their mother talked on, of her dislike 反感 of Mr. Darcy, and her resolution 解析度 to be civil 国内 to him only as Mr. Bingley’s friend, without being heard hear by either of them. But Elizabeth had sources 资源 of uneasiness which could not be suspected 怀疑；嫌疑犯 by Jane, to whom she had never yet had courage 勇气 to shew Mrs. Gardiner’s letter, or to relate 相关 her own change of sentiment 情绪 towards him. To Jane, he could be only a man whose proposals 提议 she had refused 拒绝, and whose merit 值得 she had undervalued; but to her own more many extensive 广阔的 information, he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted 感激的 for the first of benefits 效益, and whom she regarded 认为 her‧self 她自己 with an interest, if not quite so tender 纤弱的, at least as reason‧able 合理的 and just as what Jane felt feel for Bingley. Her astonishment 惊愕 at his coming—at his coming to Netherfield, to Longbourn, and voluntarily 自行 seeking 寻求 her again, was almost equal to what she had known know on first witnessing 目击；目击者 his altered 改变 behaviour in Derbyshire.
The colour which had been driven 驾驶:drive from her face, returned for half a minute 分 with an additional 额外 glow 辉光, and a smile of delight 快乐 added lustre to her eyes, as she thought think for that space 空间 of time that his affect‧ion 感情 and wishes must still be unshaken. But she would not be secure 安全.
“Let me first see how he behaves 表现,” said she; “it will then be early enough for expectation 期望.”
She sat 9 intently 意图 at work, striving 努力 to be composed 组成, and without daring 敢 to lift 举起 up her eyes, till anxious 10 curiosity 好奇心 carried 运送；支撑 them to the face of her sister as the servant 12 was approaching 靠近 the door. Jane looked a little paler 苍白的 than usual, but more many sedate than Elizabeth had expected. On the gentlemen’s appearing 出现, her colour increased; yet she received them with tolerable ease 9, and with a propriety of behaviour equally 平等地…；相同地… free 自由的 from any symptom 症状 of resentment 怨恨 or any unnecessary 不必要 complaisance.
Elizabeth said as little to either as civility would allow 允许, and sat down again to her work, with an eagerness which it did not often command 命令. She had ventured 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 only one glance 一瞥 at Darcy. He looked serious 10, as usual; and, she thought think, more many as he had been used to look in Hertfordshire, than as she had seen see him at Pemberley. But, perhaps he could not in her mother’s presence 出席 be what he was before her uncle and aunt. It was a painful 痛苦, but not an improbable 难以置信, conjecture 推测.
Bingley, she had like‧wise 同样 seen see for an instant 瞬间, and in that short period 7 saw see him looking both pleased and embarrassed 阻碍. He was received by Mrs. Bennet with a degree 度 of civility which made her two daughters ashamed 惭愧的, especially 尤其地 when contrasted 对比 with the cold 寒冷的 and ceremonious politeness 礼貌 of her curtsey and address 7 to his friend.
Elizabeth, particularly, who knew know that her mother owed 欠…债 to the latter 9 the preservation 保存 of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy, was hurt 损害 and distressed 苦难 to a most many painful 痛苦 degree 7 by a distinction 区别 so ill applied 用于.
Darcy, after inquiring 打听 of her how Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner did, a question which she could not answer without confusion 混乱, said scarcely anything. He was not seated 6 by her; perhaps that was the reason of his silence 8; but it had not been so in Derbyshire. There he had talked to her friends, when he could not to her‧self 她自己. But now several minutes elapsed 过去 without bringing the sound 声音 of his voice 9; and when occasionally 偶尔，间或；有时, unable 无法 to resist 抵抗 the impulse 冲动 of curiosity 好奇心, she raised 提升；种 her eyes to his face, she as often found find him looking at Jane as at her‧self 她自己, and frequently 7 on no object but the ground 8. More many thoughtfulness and less little anxiety 8 to please 请;讨人喜欢, than when they last met meet, were plainly 平原；明显 expressed. She was disappointed 6, and angry 生气的 with her‧self 她自己 for being so.
“Could I expect it to be other‧wise 否则!” said she. “Yet why did he come?”
She was in no humour for conversation with anyone 9 but himself; and to him she had hardly courage 勇气 to speak.
She inquired 打听 after his sister, but could do no more many.
“It is a long time, Mr. Bingley, since you went away,” said Mrs. Bennet.
He readily 8 agreed 同意 to it.
“I began begin to be afraid you would never come back again. People did say you meant mean to quit 放弃 the place entirely 8 at Michaelmas; but, however, I hope it is not true 8. A great many changes have happened in the neighbourhood, since you went away. Miss Lucas is married and settled. And one of my own daughters. I suppose you have heard hear of it; indeed, you must have seen see it in the papers 纸；报纸. It was in The Times and The Courier, I know; though it was not put in as it ought 13 to be. It was only said, ‘ Lately 近来, George Wickham, Esq. to Miss Lydia Bennet,’ without there being a syllable 音节 said of her father, or the place where she lived, or anything. It was my brother Gardiner’s drawing 绘画 up too, and I wonder 9 how he came to make such an awkward 难堪 business of it. Did you see it?”
Bingley replied that he did, and made his congratulations 祝贺. Elizabeth dared 6 not lift 举起 up her eyes. How Mr. Darcy looked, therefore, she could not tell.
“It is a delightful 愉快 thing, to be sure, to have a daughter well married,” continued her mother, “but at the same time, Mr. Bingley, it is very hard 硬；困难的 to have her taken such a way from me. They are gone down to Newcastle, a place quite north‧ward 北方, it seems, and there they are to stay I do not know how long. His regiment 团 is there; for I suppose you have heard hear of his leaving the ——shire, and of his being gone into the regulars 有规律的. Thank 谢谢 Heaven 天! he has some friends, though perhaps not so many as he deserves 应受.”
Elizabeth, who knew know this to be levelled 水平 at Mr. Darcy, was in such misery 痛苦 of shame 羞愧, that she could hardly keep her seat 席位. It drew 绘画:draw from her, however, the exertion of speaking 讲, which nothing else 11 had so effectually done before; and she asked Bingley whether he meant mean to make any stay in the country at present. A few weeks, he believed.
“When you have killed 杀死… all your own birds 鸟, Mr. Bingley,” said her mother, “I beg 乞讨 you will come here, and shoot 射击；拍摄 as many as you please 请;讨人喜欢 on Mr. Bennet’s manor 庄园. I am sure he will be vastly 大大 happy to oblige 责成 you, and will save 节省 all the best of the covies for you.”
Elizabeth’s misery 痛苦 increased, at such unnecessary 不必要, such officious attention! Were the same fair 公平；美丽 prospect 展望 to arise 产生 at present as had flattered 奉承 them a year ago, every thing, she was persuaded, would be hastening 加速 to the same vexatious conclusion 结论. At that instant 瞬间, she felt feel that years of happiness 幸福 could not make Jane or her‧self 她自己 amends 修改 for moments 6 of such painful 痛苦 confusion 混乱.
“The first wish of my heart,” said she to her‧self 她自己, “is never more many to be in company with either of them. Their society 6 can afford 买得起 no pleasure that will atone for such wretchedness as this! Let me never see either one or the other again!”
Yet the misery 痛苦, for which years of happiness 幸福 were to offer 6 no compensation 赔偿金, received soon after‧ward 之后 material 材料 relief 宽慰, from observing 观察 how much the beauty 8 of her sister re-kindled the admiration 钦佩 of her former lover 爱. When first he came in, he had spoken 口头讲的 to her but little; but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more many of his attention. He found find her as hand‧some 英俊 as she had been last year; as good natured, and as unaffected 未受影响, though not quite so chatty. Jane was anxious 11 that no difference 差别 should be perceived 6 in her at all, and was really persuaded that she talked as much as ever. But her mind was so busily 忙碌的 engaged 从事, that she did not always know when she was silent 沉默的.
When the gentlemen rose 上升:rise to go away, Mrs. Bennet was mindful 铭记 of her intended 8 civility, and they were invited 邀请 and engaged 从事 to dine 吃饭 at Longbourn in a few days time.
“You are quite a visit 10 in my debt 债务, Mr. Bingley,” she added, “for when you went to town last winter 冬, you promised 8 to take a family dinner 7 with us, as soon as you returned. I have not forgot 忘记:forget, you see; and I assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you, I was very much disappointed 7 that you did not come back and keep your engagement 订婚.”
Bingley looked a little silly 愚蠢 at this reflection 反映, and said something of his concern at having been prevented by business. They then went away.
Mrs. Bennet had been strongly 强烈 inclined 倾斜 to ask them to stay and dine 吃饭 there that day; but, though she always kept keep a very good table, she did not think anything less little than two courses could be good enough for a man on whom she had such anxious 12 designs 设计，计划, or satisfy 使满意 the appetite 食欲 and pride of one who had ten 十 thou‧sand 千 a year.

As soon as they were gone, Elizabeth walked out to recover 恢复 her spirits; or in other words, to dwell 住 without interruption 中断 on those subjects 主题 that must deaden them more many. Mr. Darcy’s behaviour astonished 使惊讶 and vexed her.
“Why, if he came only to be silent 沉默的, grave 坟墓；严重的, and indifferent 冷漠,” said she, “did he come at all?”
She could settle 解决；定居 it in no way that gave give her pleasure.
“He could be still amiable 可亲, still pleasing 8, to my uncle and aunt, when he was in town; and why not to me? If he fears 害怕 me, why come hither? If he no longer cares 关心 for me, why silent 8? Teasing, teasing 逗, man! I will think no more many about him.”
Her resolution 解析度 was for a short time involuntarily 非自愿 kept keep by the approach 靠近 of her sister, who joined 8 her with a cheerful 快乐 look, which showed show her better well satisfied with their visitors 7, than Elizabeth.
“Now,” said she, “that this first meeting is over, I feel perfectly easy 7. I know my own strength 力量, and I shall never be embarrassed 阻碍 again by his coming. I am glad 11 he dines 吃饭 here on Tuesday. It will then be publicly seen see that, on both sides, we meet only as common 普通的 and indifferent 冷漠 acquaintance 熟人.”
“Yes, very indifferent 冷漠 indeed,” said Elizabeth, laughingly. “Oh, Jane, take care 9.”
“My dear Lizzy, you cannot think me so weak 柔弱的, as to be in danger 危险 now?”
“I think you are in very great danger 7 of making him as much in love with you as ever.”
They did not see the gentlemen again till Tuesday; and Mrs. Bennet, in the mean‧while 同时, was giving way to all the happy schemes 方案, which the good humour and common 6 politeness 礼貌 of Bingley, in half an hour’s visit 11, had revived 复活.
On Tuesday there was a large party assembled 集合 at Longbourn; and the two who were most many anxiously 焦急的 expected, to the credit 信用 of their punctuality as sportsmen, were in very good time. When they repaired 修理 to the dining 7-room, Elizabeth eagerly 渴望的 watched 钟表；注视 to see whether Bingley would take the place, which, in all their former parties 7, had belonged 属于 to him, by her sister. Her prudent 谨慎 mother, occupied 占据 by the same ideas 6, for‧bore 为‧厌倦；厌烦；生 to invite 邀请 him to sit 坐 by her‧self 她自己. On entering 进入 the room, he seemed to hesitate 犹豫; but Jane happened to look round 圆形的；围绕, and happened to smile: it was decided 决定. He placed himself by her.
Elizabeth, with a triumphant 凯 sensation 感觉, looked towards his friend. He bore 厌倦；厌烦；生 it with noble 高尚的 indifference 漠不关心, and she would have imagined 想象 that Bingley had received his sanction 制裁 to be happy, had she not seen see his eyes like‧wise 同样 turned towards Mr. Darcy, with an expression 10 of half-laughing 6 alarm 警告.
His behaviour to her sister was such, during dinner 8 time, as showed show an admiration 钦佩 of her, which, though more many guarded 警卫 than formerly 以前的, persuaded Elizabeth, that if left wholly 全 to himself, Jane’s happiness 幸福, and his own, would be speedily 迅速 secured 安全. Though she dared 7 not depend 7 upon the consequence 后果, she yet received pleasure from observing 观察 his behaviour. It gave give her all the animation 动画 that her spirits could boast 自夸; for she was in no cheerful 快乐 humour. Mr. Darcy was almost as far from her as the table could divide 分 them. He was on one side of her mother. She knew know how little such a situation would give pleasure to either, or make either appear to advantage 10. She was not near enough to hear any of their discourse 演讲, but she could see how seldom 很少 they spoke to each other, and how formal 正式 and cold 7 was their manner when‧ever 随时 they did. Her mother’s ungraciousness, made the sense of what they owed 欠…债 him more many painful 痛苦 to Elizabeth’s mind; and she would, at times, have given give anything to be privileged 特权 to tell him that his kindness 善良 was neither unknown 未知 nor unfelt by the whole of the family.
She was in hopes that the evening would afford 买得起 some opportunity 9 of bringing them together; that the whole of the visit would not pass 6 away without enabling 启用 them to enter 8 into something more many of conversation than the mere 仅仅 ceremonious salutation attending 出席 his entrance 入口. Anxious 13 and uneasy 不安, the period 8 which passed in the drawing 绘画-room, before the gentlemen came, was wearisome and dull 钝的；没兴趣 to a degree 8 that almost made her uncivil. She looked forward to their entrance as the point on which all her chance 机会 of pleasure for the evening must depend 8.
“If he does not come to me, then,” said she, “I shall give him up for ever.”
The gentlemen came; and she thought think he looked as if he would have answered her hopes; but, alas 唉! the ladies 9 had crowded 人群；拥挤 round 圆形的；围绕 the table, where Miss Bennet was making tea 茶水, and Elizabeth pouring 淋；倒 out the coffee 咖啡, in so close a confederacy that there was not a single 单一的 vacancy 空缺 near her which would admit 许可进入 of a chair 椅子. And on the gentlemen’s approaching 6, one of the girls moved closer to her than ever, and said, in a whisper 低声说:
“The men shan’t come and part us, I am determined 9. We want none 没有人 of them; do we?”
Darcy had walked away to another part of the room. She followed him with her eyes, envied 嫉妒 every‧one 每人 to whom he spoke, had scarcely patience 耐心 enough to help anybody 9 to coffee 咖啡; and then was enraged against her‧self 她自己 for being so silly 愚蠢!
“A man who has once been refused 拒绝! How could I ever be foolish 傻 enough to expect a renewal 复兴 of his love? Is there one among the sex 性别, who would not protest 抗议 against such a weakness 弱点 as a second proposal 提议 to the same woman? There is no indignity so abhorrent to their feelings!”
She was a little revived 复活, however, by his bringing back his coffee 咖啡 cup 杯子 himself; and she seized 抓住 the opportunity 10 of saying:
“Is your sister at Pemberley still?”
“Yes, she will remain 留；剩余 there till Christmas 圣诞节.”
“And quite alone 11? Have all her friends left her?”
“Mrs. Annesley is with her. The others have been gone on to Scarborough, these three weeks.”
She could think of nothing more many to say; but if he wished to con‧verse 交谈 with her, he might have better well success. He stood stand by her, however, for some minutes, in silence 9; and, at last, on the young lady’s whispering 低声说 to Elizabeth again, he walked away.
When the tea 茶水-things were removed 去掉, and the card 卡片-tables 桌；表 placed, the ladies all rose 上升:rise, and Elizabeth was then hoping 希望 to be soon joined 9 by him, when all her views 看法 were overthrown by seeing him fall 落下 a victim 受害者 to her mother’s rapacity for whist players 播放机, and in a few moments 7 after seated 7 with the rest of the party. She now lost every expectation 期望 of pleasure. They were con‧fine 局限 for the evening at different tables, and she had nothing to hope, but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side of the room, as to make him play as unsuccessfully 不成功 as her‧self 她自己.
Mrs. Bennet had designed 设计，计划 to keep the two Netherfield gentlemen to supper 晚饭; but their carriage was unluckily 不幸的 ordered before any of the others, and she had no opportunity 11 of detaining 扣留 them.
“Well girls,” said she, as soon as they were left to themselves, “What say you to the day? I think every thing has passed off uncommonly 罕见 well, I assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you. The dinner 9 was as well dressed 衣服 as any I ever saw see. The venison was roasted 烤 to a turn—and everybody 8 said they never saw see so fat 肥的 a haunch. The soup 汤 was fifty 五十 times better well than what we had at the Lucases’ last week; and even Mr. Darcy acknowledged 确认, that the partridges were remark‧able 非凡的；奇异的；引人注目的 well done; and I suppose he has two or three French cooks 烹调 at least. And, my dear Jane, I never saw see you look in greater beauty 9. Mrs. Long said so too, for I asked her whether you did not. And what do you think she said besides 而且? ‘Ah! Mrs. Bennet, we shall have her at Netherfield at last.’ She did indeed. I do think Mrs. Long is as good a creature 动物；生物 as ever lived—and her nieces 外甥女 are very pretty 8 behaved 6 girls, and not at all hand‧some 英俊: I like them prodigiously.”
Mrs. Bennet, in short, was in very great spirits; she had seen see enough of Bingley’s behaviour to Jane, to be convinced 说服 that she would get him at last; and her expectations 期望 of advantage 11 to her family, when in a happy humour, were so far beyond reason, that she was quite disappointed 8 at not seeing him there again the next day, to make his proposals 提议.
“It has been a very agree‧able 合适的 day,” said Miss Bennet to Elizabeth. “The party seemed so well selected 选择, so suit‧able 适当 one with the other. I hope we may often meet again.”
Elizabeth smiled 微笑.
“Lizzy, you must not do so. You must not suspect 怀疑；嫌疑犯 me. It mortifies me. I assure 向…保证；肯定地说 you that I have now learnt 6 to enjoy 享有 his conversation as an agree‧able 合适的 and sensible 明智 young man, without having a wish beyond it. I am perfectly satisfied, from what his manners now are, that he never had any design 8 of engaging 从事 my affect‧ion 感情. It is only that he is blessed 祝福 with greater sweetness 甜美 of address 8, and a stronger 强的 desire 希望 of generally pleasing 9, than any other man.”
“You are very cruel 残酷的,” said her sister, “you will not let me smile, and are provoking 惹 me to it every moment.”
“How hard 硬；困难的 it is in some cases to be believed!”
“And how impossible in others!”
“But why should you wish to persuade 说服 me that I feel more many than I acknowledge 确认?”
“That is a question which I hardly know how to answer. We all love to instruct 指导, though we can teach 教 only what is not worth 值得的 knowing. Forgive 原谅 me; and if you persist 坚持 in indifference 漠不关心, do not make me your confidante.”

Chapter 55
A few days after this visit, Mr. Bingley called again, and alone. His friend had left him that morning for London, but was to return home in ten 十 days time. He sat with them above an hour, and was in remark‧able 非凡的；奇异的；引人注目的 good spirits. Mrs. Bennet invited 邀请 him to dine 吃饭 with them; but, with many expressions 表现 of concern, he confessed 供认 himself engaged 从事 else‧where 在别处.
“Next time you call,” said she, “I hope we shall be more many lucky 幸运.”
He should be particularly happy at any time, etc. etc.; and if she would give him leave, would take an early opportunity of waiting 等候 on them.
“Can you come to-morrow?”
Yes, he had no engagement 订婚 at all for to-morrow; and her invitation 邀请 was accepted 承认 with alacrity.
He came, and in such very good time that the ladies were none 7 of them dressed 衣服. In ran run Mrs. Bennet to her daughter’s room, in her dressing 衣服 gown 袍, and with her hair 头发 half finished 完成, crying 哭，叫喊 out:
“My dear Jane, make haste 匆忙 and hurry 赶紧 down. He is come—Mr. Bingley is come. He is, indeed. Make haste, make haste. Here, Sarah, come to Miss Bennet this moment, and help her on with her gown 袍. Never mind Miss Lizzy’s hair 头发.”
“We will be down as soon as we can,” said Jane; “but I dare 13 say Kitty is forwarder 前进地 than either of us, for she went up stairs 6 half an hour ago.”
“Oh! hang 悬挂 Kitty! what has she to do with it? Come be quick 快的, be quick! Where is your sash, my dear?”
But when her mother was gone, Jane would not be prevailed 战胜 on to go down without one of her sisters.
The same anxiety 9 to get them by themselves was visible 可以看见的；可视的 again in the evening. After tea 茶水, Mr. Bennet retired 退休 to the library 图书馆, as was his custom 习惯, and Mary went up stairs 7 to her instrument 仪器. Two obstacles 障碍 of the five being thus removed 去掉, Mrs. Bennet sat looking and winking 眨眼 at Elizabeth and Catherine for a consider‧able 大量 time, without making any impression 印象 on them. Elizabeth would not observe 观察 her; and when at last Kitty did, she very innocently 无辜 said, “What is the matter mamma? What do you keep winking 眨眼 at me for? What am I to do?”
“Nothing child, nothing. I did not wink 眨眼 at you.” She then sat still five minutes longer; but unable 无法 to waste 浪费 such a precious 宝贵的 occasion, she suddenly 突然；猛地，骤然 got get up, and saying to Kitty, “Come here, my love, I want to speak to you,” took her out of the room. Jane instantly gave give a look at Elizabeth which spoke her distress 苦难 at such premeditation, and her entreaty that she would not give in to it. In a few minutes, Mrs. Bennet half-opened the door and called out:
“Lizzy, my dear, I want to speak with you.”
Elizabeth was forced to go.
“We may as well leave them by themselves you know;” said her mother, as soon as she was in the hall 过道. “Kitty and I are going up stairs 8 to sit 坐 in my dressing 衣服-room.”
Elizabeth made no attempt 8 to reason with her mother, but remained quietly 清静的 in the hall 7, till she and Kitty were out of sight 7, then returned into the drawing 绘画-room.
Mrs. Bennet’s schemes 方案 for this day were ineffectual. Bingley was every thing that was charming 魔力；使陶醉, except 9 the professed 宣称 lover 爱 of her daughter. His ease 10 and cheerfulness rendered 给予 him a most many agree‧able 合适的 addition 加成 to their evening party; and he bore 厌倦；厌烦；生 with the ill-judged 审判 officiousness of the mother, and heard hear all her silly 愚蠢 remarks 注意；评论 with a forbearance and command 命令 of countenance 面容 particularly grateful 感激的 to the daughter.
He scarcely needed an invitation 邀请 to stay supper 晚饭; and before he went away, an engagement 订婚 was formed, chiefly 主要；首领 through his own and Mrs. Bennet’s means, for his coming next morning to shoot 射击；拍摄 with her husband.
After this day, Jane said no more many of her indifference 漠不关心. Not a word passed between the sisters concerning 关心；涉及 Bingley; but Elizabeth went to bed 床 in the happy belief 9 that all must speedily 迅速 be concluded 得出结论, unless 除非 Mr. Darcy returned within the stated time. Seriously 严肃地, however, she felt feel tolerably persuaded that all this must have taken place with that gentleman 11’s concurrence.
Bingley was punctual 准时 to his appointment 约定; and he and Mr. Bennet spent 7 the morning together, as had been agreed 同意 on. The latter 10 was much more many agree‧able 合适的 than his companion 同伴 expected. There was nothing of presumption 假定 or folly 蠢事 in Bingley that could provoke 惹 his ridicule 嘲笑, or disgust 反感 him into silence 10; and he was more many communicative 交际, and less little eccentric 偏心, than the other had ever seen see him. Bingley of course returned with him to dinner 10; and in the evening Mrs. Bennet’s invention 发明 was again at work to get every body 身体 away from him and her daughter. Elizabeth, who had a letter to write, went into the breakfast 8 room for that purpose 目的 soon after tea 6; for as the others were all going to sit 坐 down to cards 卡片, she could not be wanted to counter‧act 抵消 her mother’s schemes 方案.
But on returning 6 to the drawing 绘画-room, when her letter was finished 完成, she saw see, to her infinite 无穷 surprise, there was reason to fear that her mother had been too ingenious 巧妙 for her. On opening the door, she perceived 7 her sister and Bingley standing together over the hearth 炉, as if engaged 从事 in earnest 热心的 conversation; and had this led lead to no suspicion 怀疑, the faces of both, as they hastily 草草 turned round 7 and moved away from each other, would have told tell it all. Their situation was awkward 难堪 enough; but hers she thought think was still worse 更坏的. Not a syllable 音节 was uttered 说出 by either; and Elizabeth was on the point of going away again, when Bingley, who as well as the other had sat down, suddenly 6 rose 上升:rise, and whispering 低声说 a few words to her sister, ran run out of the room.
Jane could have no reserves 预订；保留 from Elizabeth, where confidence 信心 would give pleasure; and instantly embracing 拥抱 her, acknowledged 确认, with the liveliest emotion 情感, that she was the happiest creature 动物；生物 in the world.
“‘Tis too much!” she added, “by far too much. I do not deserve 应受 it. Oh! why is not everybody 9 as happy?”
Elizabeth’s congratulations 祝贺 were given give with a sincerity 诚意, a warmth 温暖, a delight 快乐, which words could but poorly 贫穷的 express 11. Every sentence 8 of kindness 善良 was a fresh 新鲜的 source 资源 of happiness 幸福 to Jane. But she would not allow 7 her‧self 她自己 to stay with her sister, or say half that remained to be said for the present.
“I must go instantly to my mother;” she cried. “I would not on any account trifle 琐事 with her affectionate 亲热 solicitude; or allow 8 her to hear it from anyone 10 but myself 我. He is gone to my father already 8. Oh! Lizzy, to know that what I have to relate 相关 will give such pleasure to all my dear family! how shall I bear so much happiness 幸福!”
She then hastened 加速 away to her mother, who had purposely 目的 broken 破碎的 up the card 卡片 party, and was sitting 坐 up stairs 9 with Kitty.
Elizabeth, who was left by her‧self 她自己, now smiled 6 at the rapidity and ease 11 with which an affair 11 was finally 最后 settled, that had given give them so many previous 以前 months of suspense 悬念 and vexation.
“And this,” said she, “is the end of all his friend’s anxious 14 circumspection! of all his sister’s false‧hood 虚伪的‧引擎罩 and contrivance! the happiest, wisest 明智的；聪明的, most many reason‧able 合理的 end!”
In a few minutes she was joined by Bingley, whose conference 会议 with her father had been short and to the purpose 6.
“Where is your sister?” said he hastily 草草, as he opened the door.
“With my mother up stairs. She will be down in a moment, I dare say.”
He then shut 关闭 the door, and, coming up to her, claimed 声称 the good wishes and affect‧ion 感情 of a sister. Elizabeth honestly 诚实的 and heartily 爽朗 expressed her delight 8 in the prospect 展望 of their relationship 8. They shook 摇晃:shake hands with great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen 倾听 to all he had to say of his own happiness 幸福, and of Jane’s perfections 完美; and in spite 恶意 of his being a lover 爱, Elizabeth really believed all his expectations 期望 of felicity to be rationally 合理的 founded, because they had for basis 基础 the excellent 卓越的 understanding 6, and super 超- excellent disposition 性格 of Jane, and a general similarity 相似 of feeling and taste 品尝 between her and himself.
It was an evening of no common 7 delight 9 to them all; the satisfaction of Miss Bennet’s mind gave give a glow 辉光 of such sweet 甜的 animation 动画 to her face, as made her look hand‧some 英俊 than ever. Kitty simpered and smiled 7, and hoped 6 her turn was coming soon. Mrs. Bennet could not give her consent 同意 or speak her approbation in terms warm 暖和的 enough to satisfy 使满意 her feelings, though she talked to Bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when Mr. Bennet joined them at supper 晚饭, his voice and manner plainly 平原；明显 showed show how really happy he was.
Not a word, however, passed his lips 嘴唇 in allusion 典故 to it, till their visitor 访问者 took his leave for the night; but as soon as he was gone, he turned to his daughter, and said:
“Jane, I congratulate 祝贺 you. You will be a very happy woman.”
Jane went to him instantly, kissed 接吻 him, and thanked 谢谢 him for his goodness 善良.
“You are a good girl;” he replied, “and I have great pleasure in thinking you will be so happily 幸福的 settled. I have not a doubt 10 of your doing very well together. Your tempers 性情 are by no means unlike 不像. You are each of you so complying 执行, that nothing will ever be resolved 解决 on; so easy 8, that every servant 13 will cheat 欺骗 you; and so generous 慷慨的, that you will always exceed 超过 your income 收入.”
“I hope not so. Imprudence or thoughtlessness in money matters would be unpardonable in me.”
“Exceed 超过 their income 收入! My dear Mr. Bennet,” cried his wife, “what are you talking of? Why, he has four or five thou‧sand 千 a year, and very likely more many.” Then addressing 地址 her daughter, “Oh! my dear, dear Jane, I am so happy! I am sure I shan’t get a wink 眨眼 of sleep 睡 all night. I knew know how it would be. I always said it must be so, at last. I was sure you could not be so beautiful 美丽 for nothing! I remember 6, as soon as ever I saw see him, when he first came into Hertfordshire last year, I thought think how likely it was that you should come together. Oh! he is the hand‧some 英俊 young man that ever was seen see!”
Wickham, Lydia, were all forgotten 忘记:forget. Jane was beyond competition 竞争 her favourite child. At that moment, she cared 关心 for no other. Her younger sisters soon began begin to make interest with her for objects 物体；反对 of happiness 幸福 which she might in future 将来的 be able to dispense 发放.
Mary petitioned 请愿 for the use of the library 图书馆 at Netherfield; and Kitty begged 乞讨 very hard 硬；困难的 for a few balls 球 there every winter 冬.
Bingley, from this time, was of course a daily 每日的 visitor 访问者 at Longbourn; coming frequently 8 before breakfast 9, and always remaining 留；剩余 till after supper 晚饭; unless 除非 when some barbarous neighbour, who could not be enough detested, had given give him an invitation 邀请 to dinner 11 which he thought think himself obliged 责成 to accept 承认.
Elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister; for while he was present, Jane had no attention to bestow 赐给 on anyone 11 else; but she found find her‧self 她自己 consider‧able 相当 useful 有用 to both of them in those hours of separation 分离 that must sometimes occur 发生. In the absence 10 of Jane, he always attached 连接 himself to Elizabeth, for the pleasure of talking of her; and when Bingley was gone, Jane constantly 总是；经常地，不断地 sought the same means of relief 宽慰.
“He has made me so happy,” said she, one evening, “by telling me that he was totally 彻底 ignorant 愚昧 of my being in town last spring 春季! I had not believed it possible.”
“I suspected 怀疑；嫌疑犯 as much,” replied Elizabeth. “But how did he account for it?”
“It must have been his sister’s doing. They were certainly no friends to his acquaintance 熟人 with me, which I cannot wonder 10 at, since he might have chosen 挑选:choose so much more many advantageously 有利 in many respects 尊重. But when they see, as I trust 信任 they will, that their brother is happy with me, they will learn 学习 to be contented 内容, and we shall be on good terms again; though we can never be what we once were to each other.”
“That is the most many unforgiving speech 演说,” said Elizabeth, “that I ever heard hear you utter 说出. Good girl! It would vex me, indeed, to see you again the dupe of Miss Bingley’s pretended 假装 regard.”
“Would you believe it, Lizzy, that when he went to town last November, he really loved 爱 me, and nothing but a persuasion 劝说 of my being indifferent 冷漠 would have prevented his coming down again!”
“He made a little mistake 错误 to be sure; but it is to the credit 信用 of his modesty 谦虚.”
This naturally 自然地 introduced 提出 a panegyric from Jane on his diffidence, and the little value he put on his own good qualities 质量. Elizabeth was pleased to find that he had not betrayed 背叛 the interference 干涉 of his friend; for, though Jane had the most many generous 慷慨的 and for‧give 原谅 heart in the world, she knew know it was a circumstance 环境 which must prejudice 成见 her against him.
“I am certainly the most many fortunate 侥幸的 creature 动物；生物 that ever existed 存在!” cried Jane. “Oh! Lizzy, why am I thus singled 单一的 from my family, and blessed 祝福 above them all! If I could but see you as happy! If there were but such another man for you!”
“If you were to give me forty 四十 such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition 性格, your goodness 善良, I never can have your happiness 幸福. No, no, let me shift 转移 for myself 我; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck 运气, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time.”
The situation of affairs 事情 in the Longbourn family could not be long a secret 秘密. Mrs. Bennet was privileged 特权 to whisper 低声说 it to Mrs. Phillips, and she ventured 企业；投机活动；商业冒险, without any per‧mission 允许, to do the same by all her neighbours in Meryton.
The Bennets were speedily 迅速 pronounced 发音 to be the luckiest family in the world, though only a few weeks before, when Lydia had first run away, they had been generally proved 9 to be marked 7 out for misfortune 不幸.

Chapter 56
One morning, about a week after Bingley’s engagement 订婚 with Jane had been formed, as he and the females 女性的 of the family were sitting 6 together in the dining 8-room, their attention was suddenly 7 drawn 绘画:draw to the window 7, by the sound 声音 of a carriage; and they perceived 8 a chaise and four driving 驾驶 up the lawn 草坪. It was too early in the morning for visitors 8, and besides 而且, the equip‧age 装备‧年龄 did not answer to that of any of their neighbours. The horses 马 were post 邮件; and neither the carriage, nor the livery of the servant 14 who preceded 优于 it, were familiar 熟悉的 to them. As it was certain, however, that some‧body 某人 was coming, Bingley instantly prevailed 战胜 on Miss Bennet to avoid 7 the confinement 坐月子 of such an intrusion 侵扰, and walk away with him into the shrubbery. They both set off, and the conjectures 推测 of the remaining 留；剩余 three continued, though with little satisfaction, till the door was thrown 投掷:throw open and their visitor 访问者 entered. It was Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
They were of course all intending 意欲 to be surprised; but their astonishment 惊愕 was beyond their expectation 期望; and on the part of Mrs. Bennet and Kitty, though she was perfectly unknown 未知 to them, even inferior 下 to what Elizabeth felt feel.
She entered the room with an air more many than usually ungracious, made no other reply 7 to Elizabeth’s salutation than a slight 8 inclination 倾角 of the head, and sat down without saying a word. Elizabeth had mentioned her name to her mother on her lady‧ship 女士‧船’s entrance 入口, though no request 要求 of introduction 介绍 had been made.
Mrs. Bennet, all amazement 惊愕, though flattered 奉承 by having a guest 客人 of such high importance 11, received her with the utmost 极 politeness 礼貌. After sitting 7 for a moment in silence 11, she said very stiffly 严厉的 to Elizabeth,
“I hope you are well, Miss Bennet. That lady, I suppose, is your mother.”
Elizabeth replied very concisely 简洁 that she was.
“And that I suppose is one of your sisters.”
“Yes, madam 夫人,” said Mrs. Bennet, delighted 快乐 to speak to Lady Catherine. “She is my youngest girl but one. My youngest of all is lately 近来 married, and my eldest 最年长 is some‧where 某处 about the grounds 地面, walking 9 with a young man who, I believe, will soon become a part of the family.”
“You have a very small park 9 here,” returned Lady Catherine after a short silence 12.
“It is nothing in comparison 比较 of Rosings, my lady, I dare say; but I assure 10 you it is much larger than Sir 10 William Lucas’s.”
“This must be a most many inconvenient 不方便 sitting 8 room for the evening, in summer; the windows 窗 are full west 西.”
Mrs. Bennet assured her that they never sat there after dinner, and then added:
“May I take the liberty 自由 of asking your lady‧ship 女士‧船 whether you left Mr. and Mrs. Collins well.”
“Yes, very well. I saw see them the night before last.”
Elizabeth now expected that she would produce 生产 a letter for her from Charlotte, as it seemed the only probable 可能的 motive 动机 for her calling. But no letter appeared, and she was completely puzzled 使迷惑.
Mrs. Bennet, with great civility, begged 乞讨 her lady‧ship 女士‧船 to take some refreshment 爽快; but Lady Catherine very resolutely, and not very politely 有礼貌的, declined 下降 eating 吃 anything; and then, rising 上升 up, said to Elizabeth,
“Miss Bennet, there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness 荒野 on one side of your lawn 草坪. I should be glad 12 to take a turn in it, if you will favour me with your company.”
“Go, my dear,” cried her mother, “and show her lady‧ship 女士‧船 about the different walks 走；步行同道. I think she will be pleased with the hermitage.”
Elizabeth obeyed 服从, and running into her own room for her parasol, attended her noble 高尚的 guest 客人 downstairs 楼下. As they passed through the hall 8, Lady Catherine opened the doors 门 into the dining 9-parlour and drawing 6-room, and pronouncing 发音 them, after a short survey 调查, to be decent 正经 looking rooms, walked on.
Her carriage remained at the door, and Elizabeth saw see that her waiting 等候-woman was in it. They proceeded 继续 in silence 13 along 一起 the gravel 碎石 walk that led lead to the copse; Elizabeth was determined to make no effort 努力 for conversation with a woman who was now more many than usually insolent and disagree‧able 不同意‧能够的.
“How could I ever think her like her nephew 侄子?” said she, as she looked in her face.
As soon as they entered the copse, Lady Catherine began begin in the following manner:—
“You can be at no loss 7, Miss Bennet, to understand the reason of my journey 11 hither. Your own heart, your own conscience 良心, must tell you why I come.”
Elizabeth looked with unaffected 未受影响 astonishment 惊愕.
“Indeed, you are mistaken 错误, Madam. I have not been at all able to account for the honour of seeing you here.”
“Miss Bennet,” replied her lady‧ship 女士‧船, in an angry 8 tone 音, “you ought to know, that I am not to be trifled 琐事 with. But however insincere you may choose 挑选 to be, you shall not find me so. My character has ever been celebrated 庆祝 for its sincerity 诚意 and frankness, and in a cause of such moment as this, I shall certainly not depart 离开 from it. A report of a most many alarming 警告 nature reached 9 me two days ago. I was told tell that not only your sister was on the point of being most many advantageously 有利 married, but that you, that Miss Elizabeth Bennet, would, in all likelihood 可能性, be soon after‧ward 之后 united to my nephew 侄子, my own nephew, Mr. Darcy. Though I know it must be a scandalous false‧hood 虚伪的‧引擎罩, though I would not injure 损伤 him so much as to suppose the truth of it possible, I instantly resolved 解决 on setting off for this place, that I might make my sentiments 情绪 known know to you.”
“If you believed it impossible to be true 9,” said Elizabeth, colouring with astonishment 惊愕 and disdain 蔑视, “I wonder 11 you took the trouble 麻烦 of coming so far. What could your lady‧ship 女士‧船 propose 提议 by it?”
“At once to insist 咬定 upon having such a report universally 普遍的 contradicted 顶撞.”
“Your coming to Longbourn, to see me and my family,” said Elizabeth coolly 冷静的；酷, “will be rather a confirmation 确认 of it; if, indeed, such a report is in existence 存在.”
“If! Do you then pretend 假装 to be ignorant 愚昧 of it? Has it not been industriously circulated 流通 by yourselves? Do you not know that such a report is spread 伸开 abroad 到国外?”
“I never heard hear that it was.”
“And can you like‧wise 同样 declare 宣布, that there is no foundation 基础 for it?”
“I do not pretend to possess 拥有 equal frankness with your lady‧ship 女士‧船. You may ask questions which I shall not choose 挑选 to answer.”
“This is not to be borne 生；熊:bear. Miss Bennet, I insist 咬定 on being satisfied. Has he, has my nephew 侄子, made you an offer 7 of marriage?”
“Your lady‧ship 女士‧船 has declared 7 it to be impossible.”
“It ought to be so; it must be so, while he retains 保留 the use of his reason. But your arts and allurements may, in a moment of infatuation, have made him forget 忘记 what he owes 欠…债 to himself and to all his family. You may have drawn 6 him in.”
“If I have, I shall be the last person to confess 供认 it.”
“Miss Bennet, do you know who I am? I have not been accustomed 使习惯 to such language 语言 as this. I am almost the nearest relation 关系 he has in the world, and am entitled 使有资格，允许 to know all his dearest 亲爱的 concerns 关心；涉及.”
“But you are not entitled to know mine 我的; nor will such behaviour as this, ever induce 促使 me to be explicit 明确的.”
“Let me be rightly understood 6. This match 比赛；火柴, to which you have the presumption 假定 to aspire 立志, can never take place. No, never. Mr. Darcy is engaged 从事 to my daughter. Now what have you to say?”
“Only this; that if he is so, you can have no reason to suppose he will make an offer 8 to me.”
Lady Catherine hesitated 犹豫 for a moment, and then replied:
“The engagement 订婚 between them is of a peculiar 奇怪的 kind. From their infancy 婴儿期, they have been intended 9 for each other. It was the favourite wish of his mother, as well as of hers. While in their cradles 摇篮, we planned the union 同盟: and now, at the moment when the wishes of both sisters would be accomplished 完成；实现；达到；做到 in their marriage, to be prevented by a young woman of inferior 下 birth 出生, of no importance in the world, and wholly 全 unallied to the family! Do you pay no regard to the wishes of his friends? To his tacit 默 engagement 订婚 with Miss de Bourgh? Are you lost to every feeling of propriety and delicacy 美味? Have you not heard hear me say that from his earliest hours he was destined 注定 for his cousin 堂兄妹?”
“Yes, and I had heard hear it before. But what is that to me? If there is no other objection 反对 to my marrying 7 your nephew 侄子, I shall certainly not be kept keep from it by knowing that his mother and aunt wished him to marry Miss de Bourgh. You both did as much as you could in planning the marriage. Its completion 完成 depended 依靠 on others. If Mr. Darcy is neither by honour nor inclination 倾角 con‧fine 局限 to his cousin 8, why is not he to make another choice 选择? And if I am that choice, why may not I accept 承认 him?”
“Because honour, decorum, prudence, nay, interest, forbid 禁止 it. Yes, Miss Bennet, interest; for do not expect to be noticed 注意 by his family or friends, if you wilfully act against the inclinations 倾角 of all. You will be censured 谴责, slighted 微小的, and despised 讨厌, by every‧one 每人 connected 6 with him. Your alliance 联盟 will be a disgrace 耻辱; your name will never even be mentioned by any of us.”
“These are heavy 厚实；重的 misfortunes 不幸,” replied Elizabeth. “But the wife of Mr. Darcy must have such extra‧ordinary 非凡的 sources 资源 of happiness 幸福 necessarily 不可避免地，必然地 attached 连接 to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause to repine.”
“Obstinate, head‧strong 头；上端‧强的 girl! I am ashamed 9 of you! Is this your gratitude 感谢 for my attentions to you last spring 春季? Is nothing due 由于 to me on that score 得分了? Let us sit 坐 down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came here with the determined resolution 解析度 of carrying 运送；支撑 my purpose 7; nor will I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used to submit 给 to any person’s whims 怪念头. I have not been in the habit 习惯 of brooking 溪 disappointment 失望.”
“That will make your lady‧ship 女士‧船’s situation at present more many pitiable; but it will have no effect 影响 on me.”
“I will not be interrupted 打断. Hear me in silence. My daughter and my nephew 侄子 are formed for each other. They are descended 下来, on the maternal 母系 side, from the same noble 高尚的 line; and, on the father’s, from respect‧able 可敬, honourable, and ancient 古代的—though untitled—families. Their for‧tune 命运 on both sides is splendid 壮观的. They are destined 注定 for each other by the voice of every member of their respective 各自 houses; and what is to divide 分 them? The upstart pretensions of a young woman without family, connections 6, or fortune. Is this to be endured 忍受! But it must not, shall not be. If you were sensible 明智 of your own good, you would not wish to quit 放弃 the sphere 领域 in which you have been brought bring up.”
“In marrying 8 your nephew 侄子, I should not consider myself 我 as quitting 放弃 that sphere 领域. He is a gentleman 12; I am a gentleman 13’s daughter; so far we are equal.”
“True. You are a gentleman’s daughter. But who was your mother? Who are your uncles 叔叔 and aunts 阿姨? Do not imagine 7 me ignorant 愚昧 of their condition 状态.”
“Whatever my connections 7 may be,” said Elizabeth, “if your nephew does not object to them, they can be nothing to you.”
“Tell me once for all, are you engaged 从事 to him?”
Though Elizabeth would not, for the mere 仅仅 purpose 8 of obliging 责成 Lady Catherine, have answered this question, she could not but say, after a moment’s deliberation 审议:
“I am not.”
Lady Catherine seemed pleased.
“And will you promise 允诺 me, never to enter 9 into such an engagement 订婚?”
“I will make no promise of the kind.”
“Miss Bennet I am shocked 6 and astonished 使惊讶. I expected to find a more many reason‧able 合理的 young woman. But do not deceive 欺诈 your‧self 你自己 into a belief 10 that I will ever recede 退. I shall not go away till you have given give me the assurance 保证 I require 需要；有赖于；要求.”
“And I certainly never shall give it. I am not to be intimidated 威吓 into anything so wholly 全 unreasonable 不合理. Your lady‧ship 女士‧船 wants Mr. Darcy to marry your daughter; but would my giving you the wished-for promise 允诺 make their marriage at all more many probable 6? Supposing him to be attached 连接 to me, would my refusing 拒绝 to accept 7 his hand make him wish to bestow 赐给 it on his cousin 9? Allow 9 me to say, Lady Catherine, that the arguments 论据 with which you have supported 支持 this extra‧ordinary 非凡的 application 应用 have been as frivolous as the application was ill-judged 审判. You have widely 范围广地；广泛地 mistaken 错误 my character, if you think I can be worked on by such persuasions 劝说 as these. How far your nephew 侄子 might approve 赞成 of your interference 干涉 in his affairs 事情, I cannot tell; but you have certainly no right to concern your‧self 你自己 in mine 我的. I must beg 乞讨, therefore, to be importuned no farther far on the subject.”
“Not so hasty 匆, if you please 请;讨人喜欢. I have by no means done. To all the objections 反对 I have already 9 urged 催促, I have still another to add 增加. I am no stranger 奇怪；陌生 to the particulars of your youngest sister’s infamous 臭名昭著 elopement. I know it all; that the young man’s marrying 9 her was a patched 补丁-up business, at the expence of your father and uncles 叔叔. And is such a girl to be my nephew 10’s sister? Is her husband, is the son 10 of his late father’s steward 管家, to be his brother? Heaven 天 and earth 地球!—of what are you thinking? Are the shades 遮阳；阴 of Pemberley to be thus polluted 污染?”
“You can now have nothing further 8 to say,” she resent‧fully 愤恨‧完全地 answered. “You have insulted 侮辱 me in every possible method 方法. I must beg 6 to return to the house.”
And she rose 上升:rise as she spoke. Lady Catherine rose also, and they turned back. Her lady‧ship 女士‧船 was highly incensed 香.
“You have no regard, then, for the honour and credit 信用 of my nephew 11! Unfeeling, selfish 自私的 girl! Do you not consider that a connection 11 with you must disgrace 耻辱 him in the eyes of everybody 10?”
“Lady Catherine, I have nothing further 9 to say. You know my sentiments 情绪.”
“You are then resolved 解决 to have him?”
“I have said no such thing. I am only resolved 解决 to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute 构成，组成，被视作 my happiness 幸福, without reference 参考 to you, or to any person so wholly 全 unconnected with me.”
“It is well. You refuse 拒绝, then, to oblige 责成 me. You refuse to obey 服从 the claims 声称 of duty 职责, honour, and gratitude 感谢. You are determined to ruin 破坏 him in the opinion of all his friends, and make him the con‧tempt 鄙视 of the world.”
“Neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude 感谢,” replied Elizabeth, “have any possible claim 声称 on me, in the present instance 例. No principle 原理 of either would be violated 违反 by my marriage with Mr. Darcy. And with regard to the resentment 怨恨 of his family, or the indignation 愤慨 of the world, if the former were excited 使兴奋 by his marrying me, it would not give me one moment’s concern—and the world in general would have too much sense to join 7 in the scorn 鄙视.”
“And this is your real opinion! This is your final 最后 resolve 解决! Very well. I shall now know how to act. Do not imagine 8, Miss Bennet, that your ambition 抱负 will ever be gratified 取悦. I came to try you. I hoped 7 to find you reasonable 7; but, depend 9 upon it, I will carry 运送；支撑 my point.”
In this manner Lady Catherine talked on, till they were at the door of the carriage, when, turning hastily 草草 round 8, she added, “I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet. I send no compliments 赞扬 to your mother. You deserve 应受 no such attention. I am most many seriously 严肃地 displeased.”
Elizabeth made no answer; and without attempting 试图 to persuade 说服 her lady‧ship 女士‧船 to return into the house, walked quietly 清静的 into it her‧self 她自己. She heard hear the carriage drive 驾驶 away as she proceeded 继续 up stairs. Her mother impatiently 不耐烦 met meet her at the door of the dressing 6-room, to ask why Lady Catherine would not come in again and rest her‧self 她自己.
“She did not choose 挑选 it,” said her daughter, “she would go.”
“She is a very fine 11-looking woman! and her calling here was prodigiously civil 国内! for she only came, I suppose, to tell us the Collinses were well. She is on her road 8 some‧where 某处, I dare say, and so, passing 6 through Meryton, thought think she might as well call on you. I suppose she had nothing particular to say to you, Lizzy?”
Elizabeth was forced to give into a little false‧hood 虚伪的‧引擎罩 here; for to acknowledge 确认 the substance 物质 of their conversation was impossible.

Chapter 57
The discomposure of spirits which this extra‧ordinary 非凡的 visit threw 投掷:throw Elizabeth into, could not be easily over‧come 战胜; nor could she, for many hours, learn 学习 to think of it less little than incessantly. Lady Catherine, it appeared, had actually 实际上 taken the trouble 7 of this journey 12 from Rosings, for the sole 唯一 purpose 9 of breaking 破；断 off her supposed 6 engagement 订婚 with Mr. Darcy. It was a rational 合理的 scheme 方案, to be sure! but from what the report of their engagement 订婚 could originate 起源, Elizabeth was at a loss 8 to imagine 9; till she recollected that his being the intimate 亲密 friend of Bingley, and her being the sister of Jane, was enough, at a time when the expectation 期望 of one wedding 结婚 made everybody 11 eager 8 for another, to supply 供给 the idea. She had not her‧self 她自己 forgotten 忘记:forget to feel that the marriage of her sister must bring them more many frequently 9 together. And her neighbours at Lucas Lodge 存放, therefore (for through their communication 通讯 with the Collinses, the report, she concluded 得出结论, had reached Lady Catherine), had only set that down as almost certain and immediate 立即的, which she had looked forward to as possible at some future 6 time.
In revolving 围绕 Lady Catherine’s expressions 表现, however, she could not help feeling some uneasiness as to the possible consequence 后果 of her persisting 坚持 in this interference 干涉. From what she had said of her resolution 解析度 to prevent 预防 their marriage, it occurred 发生 to Elizabeth that she must meditate an application 应用 to her nephew 12; and how he might take a similar 类似 representation 表示 of the evils 邪恶的 attached 连接 to a connection 12 with her, she dared 8 not pronounce 发音. She knew know not the exact 准确的 degree 9 of his affect‧ion 感情 for his aunt, or his dependence 依赖 on her judgment 判断, but it was natural 自然 to suppose that he thought think much higher of her lady‧ship 女士‧船 than she could do; and it was certain that, in enumerating the miseries 痛苦 of a marriage with one, whose immediate 立即的 connections 8 were so unequal 不等 to his own, his aunt would address 9 him on his weakest 柔弱的 side. With his notions 概念 of dignity 尊严, he would probably 7 feel that the arguments 论据, which to Elizabeth had appeared weak 柔弱的 and ridiculous 荒谬, contained 包含 much good sense and solid 固体的 reasoning 理由.
If he had been wavering 动摇 before as to what he should do, which had often seemed likely, the advice 劝告 and entreaty of so near a relation 关系 might settle 解决；定居 every doubt 11, and determine 决心 him at once to be as happy as dignity 尊严 unblemished could make him. In that case he would return no more many. Lady Catherine might see him in her way through town; and his engagement 订婚 to Bingley of coming again to Netherfield must give way.
“If, therefore, an excuse 原谅 for not keeping his promise 允诺 should come to his friend within a few days,” she added, “I shall know how to understand it. I shall then give over every expectation 期望, every wish of his constancy. If he is satisfied with only regretting 后悔 me, when he might have obtained 获得 my affect‧ion 感情 and hand, I shall soon cease 停止 to regret 11 him at all.”
The surprise of the rest of the family, on hearing who their visitor 访问者 had been, was very great; but they obligingly satisfied it, with the same kind of sup‧position SUP‧位置 which had appeased Mrs. Bennet’s curiosity 好奇心; and Elizabeth was spared 节省；多余的；备用件 from much teasing 逗 on the subject.
The next morning, as she was going downstairs 楼下, she was met meet by her father, who came out of his library 图书馆 with a letter in his hand.
“Lizzy,” said he, “I was going to look for you; come into my room.”
She followed him thither; and her curiosity 好奇心 to know what he had to tell her was heightened 6 by the sup‧position SUP‧位置 of its being in some manner connected 7 with the letter he held hold. It suddenly 8 struck 敲击:strike her that it might be from Lady Catherine; and she anticipated 预期 with dismay 沮丧 all the consequent 结果 explanations 说明.
She followed her father to the fire 火 place, and they both sat down. He then said,
“I have received a letter this morning that has astonished 使惊讶 me exceedingly 非常. As it principally 原则上 concerns 关心；涉及 your‧self 你自己, you ought to know its contents 内容. I did not know before, that I had two daughters on the brink 边缘 of matrimony. Let me congratulate 祝贺 you on a very importantconquest 征服.”
The colour now rushed 仓促 into Elizabeth’s cheeks 脸颊 in the instantaneous 瞬间 conviction 定罪 of its being a letter from the nephew 13, instead 代替 of the aunt; and she was undetermined whether most many to be pleased that he explained 讲解 himself at all, or offended 触怒 that his letter was not rather addressed 地址 to her‧self 她自己; when her father continued:
“You look conscious 有意识的. Young ladies have great penetration 渗透 in such matters as these; but I think I may defy 违抗 even your saga‧city 冒险故事‧城市, to discover 发现 the name of your admirer 赞赏. This letter is from Mr. Collins.”
“From Mr. Collins! and what can he have to say?”
“Something very much to the purpose of course. He begins with congratulations 祝贺 on the approaching 7 nuptials of my eldest 最年长 daughter, of which, it seems, he has been told tell by some of the good-natured, gossiping 八卦 Lucases. I shall not sport 运动 with your impatience 不耐烦, by reading what he says on that point. What relates 相关 to your‧self 你自己, is as follows: ‘Having thus offered 提供 you the sincere 真诚的 congratulations 6 of Mrs. Collins and myself 我 on this happy event, let me now add 6 a short hint 暗示 on the subject of another; of which we have been advertised 做广告 by the same authority 权威. Your daughter Elizabeth, it is presumed 假设, will not long bear the name of Bennet, after her elder 年长的 sister has resigned 辞职 it, and the chosen 挑选:choose partner 伙伴 of her fate 命运 may be reason‧able 合理的 looked up to as one of the most many illustrious personages in this land 陆地；着陆.’
“Can you possibly guess 推测, Lizzy, who is meant mean by this? ‘This young gentleman is blessed 祝福, in a peculiar 奇怪的 way, with every thing the heart of mortal 凡人 can most many desire 希望,— splendid 壮观的 property 特性, noble 高尚的 kind‧red 种类‧红色的, and extensive 广阔的 patron‧age 赞助. Yet in spite 恶意 of all these temptations 诱惑, let me warn 警告 my cousin 10 Elizabeth, and your‧self 你自己, of what evils 邪恶的 you may incur 招致 by a precipitate 沉淀 closure 关闭 with this gentleman’s proposals 提议, which, of course, you will be inclined 倾斜 to take immediate 立即的 advantage of.’
“Have you any idea, Lizzy, who this gentleman is? But now it comes out:
“‘My motive 动机 for cautioning 小心 you is as follows. We have reason to imagine 10 that his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, does not look on the match 比赛；火柴 with a friendly 友好的 eye.’
“Mr. Darcy, you see, is the man! Now, Lizzy, I think I have surprised you. Could he, or the Lucases, have pitched 沥青 on any man within the circle 圆 of our acquaintance 熟人, whose name would have given give the lie 躺；说谎 more many effectually to what they related 9? Mr. Darcy, who never looks at any woman but to see a blemish, and who probably 8 never looked at you in his life! It is admirable 令人钦佩!”
Elizabeth tried to join 8 in her father’s pleasantry, but could only force one most many reluctant 不情愿 smile. Never had his wit 风趣 been directed in a manner so little agree‧able 合适的 to her.
“Are you not diverted 转移?”
“Oh! yes. Pray 祈祷 read on.”
“‘After mentioning 提到 the likelihood 可能性 of this marriage to her lady‧ship 女士‧船 last night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she felt feel on the occasion; when it became become apparent 清晰可见的；显而易见的；明白易懂的, that on the score 得分了 of some family objections 6 on the part of my cousin 11, she would never give her consent 同意 to what she termed 学期 so disgraceful a match 7. I thought think it my duty 职责 to give the speediest intelligence 情报 of this to my cousin 12, that she and her noble 高尚的 admirer 赞赏 may be aware 知道的 of what they are about, and not run hastily 草草 into a marriage which has not been properly 正确地 sanctioned 制裁.’ Mr. Collins more‧over 再者 adds 增加, ‘I am truly 真 rejoiced 7 that my cousin 13 Lydia’s sad 悲哀的 business has been so well hushed 嘘 up, and am only concerned that their living together before the marriage took place should be so generally known know. I must not, however, neglect 疏忽 the duties 职责 of my station 站, or ref‧rain 副歌 from declaring 宣布 my amazement 惊愕 at hearing that you received the young couple 两；双 into your house as soon as they were married. It was an encouragement 鼓励 of vice 副职的；副的; and had I been the rector of Longbourn, I should very strenuously 费劲 have opposed 反对 it. You ought certainly to for‧give 原谅 them, as a Christian, but never to admit 许可进入 them in your sight 8, or allow 10 their names to be mentioned in your hearing.’ That is his notion 概念 of Christian forgiveness 饶恕! The rest of his letter is only about his dear Charlotte’s situation, and his expectation 期望 of a young olive 橄榄-branch 树枝. But, Lizzy, you look as if you did not enjoy 享有 it. You are not going to be missish, I hope, and pretend 假装 to be affronted at an idle 无意义的 report. For what do we live, but to make sport 运动 for our neighbours, and laugh 笑 at them in our turn?”
“Oh!” cried Elizabeth, “I am excessively 过度的 diverted 转移. But it is so strange 奇怪；陌生!”
“Yes—that is what makes it amusing 使人发笑. Had they fixed on any other man it would have been nothing; but his perfect 8 indifference 漠不关心, and your pointed dislike 反感, make it so delightfully 愉快 absurd 荒诞! Much as I abominate writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins’s correspondence 对应 for any consideration 考虑. Nay, when I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving him the preference 偏爱 even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and hypocrisy 假意 of my son 11-in-law. And pray 祈祷, Lizzy, what said Lady Catherine about this report? Did she call to refuse 拒绝 her consent 同意?”
To this question his daughter replied only with a laugh 笑; and as it had been asked without the least suspicion 怀疑, she was not distressed 苦难 by his repeating 重复 it. Elizabeth had never been more many at a loss 9 to make her feelings appear what they were not. It was necessary to laugh, when she would rather have cried. Her father had most many cruelly 残酷的 mortified her, by what he said of Mr. Darcy’s indifference 漠不关心, and she could do nothing but wonder at such a want of penetration 渗透, or fear that perhaps, instead 代替 of his seeing too little, she might have fancied 想像 too much.

Instead 7 of receiving 9 any such letter of excuse 原谅 from his friend, as Elizabeth half expected Mr. Bingley to do, he was able to bring Darcy with him to Longbourn before many days had passed after Lady Catherine’s visit. The gentlemen arrived 9 early; and, before Mrs. Bennet had time to tell him of their having seen see his aunt, of which her daughter sat in momentary 短暂的 dread 恐惧, Bingley, who wanted to be alone with Jane, proposed 提议 their all walking out. It was agreed 6 to. Mrs. Bennet was not in the habit 习惯 of walking; Mary could never spare 节省；多余的；备用件 time; but the remaining 留；剩余 five set off together. Bingley and Jane, however, soon allowed 9 the others to out‧strip 出‧剥光 them. They lagged 落后 behind, while Elizabeth, Kitty, and Darcy were to entertain 热情款待 each other. Very little was said by either; Kitty was too much afraid of him to talk; Elizabeth was secretly 秘密 forming a desperate 殊死 resolution 解析度; and perhaps he might be doing the same.
They walked towards the Lucases, because Kitty wished to call upon Maria; and as Elizabeth saw see no occasion for making it a general concern, when Kitty left them she went boldly 胆大的；醒目的 on with him alone. Now was the moment for her resolution 解析度 to be executed 执行, and, while her courage 勇气 was high, she immediately said:
“Mr. Darcy, I am a very selfish 自私的 creature 动物；生物; and, for the sake 缘故 of giving relief 宽慰 to my own feelings, care not how much I may be wounding 创伤 yours. I can no longer help thanking 谢谢 you for your unexampled kindness 善良 to my poor sister. Ever since I have known know it, I have been most many anxious 15 to acknowledge 确认 to you how gratefully 感激的 I feel it. Were it known know to the rest of my family, I should not have merely 8 my own gratitude 感谢 to express.”
“I am sorry, exceedingly 非常 sorry,” replied Darcy, in a tone 音 of surprise and emotion 情感, “that you have ever been informed 6 of what may, in a mistaken 错误 light, have given give you uneasiness. I did not think Mrs. Gardiner was so little to be trusted 信任.”
“You must not blame 9 my aunt. Lydia’s thoughtlessness first betrayed 背叛 to me that you had been concerned in the matter; and, of course, I could not rest till I knew know the particulars. Let me thank 谢谢 you again and again, in the name of all my family, for that generous 慷慨的 compassion 同情 which induced 促使 you to take so much trouble 8, and bear so many mortifications, for the sake 缘故 of discovering 发现 them.”
“If you will thank 8 me,” he replied, “let it be for your‧self 你自己 alone. That the wish of giving happiness 幸福 to you might add 7 force to the other inducements which led lead me on, I shall not attempt 9 to deny 拒绝. But your family owe 欠…债 me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought think only of you.”
Elizabeth was too much embarrassed 阻碍 to say a word. After a short pause 暂停, her companion 同伴 added, “You are too generous 慷慨的 to trifle 琐事 with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affect‧ion 感情 and wishes are unchanged 不变, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”
Elizabeth, feeling all the more many than common 8 awkwardness and anxiety 10 of his situation, now forced her‧self 她自己 to speak; and immediately, though not very fluently 流利地, gave give him to understand that her sentiments 情绪 had undergone so material 材料 a change, since the period 9 to which he alluded 暗示, as to make her receive with gratitude 感谢 and pleasure his present assurances 保证. The happiness 幸福 which this reply 8 produced 生产, was such as he had probably 9 never felt feel before; and he expressed himself on the occasion as sensibly 理智 and as warmly 暖和的 as a man violently 猛烈 in love can be supposed 7 to do. Had Elizabeth been able to encounter 遭遇 his eye, she might have seen see how well the expression 11 of heartfelt delight 10, diffused 扩散 over his face, became become him; but, though she could not look, she could listen 倾听, and he told tell her of feelings, which, in proving 证明 of what importance she was to him, made his affect‧ion 感情 every moment more many valuable 贵重的.
They walked on, without knowing in what direction 方向. There was too much to be thought think, and felt feel, and said, for attention to any other objects 物体；反对. She soon learnt 7 that they were indebted 感激的 for their present good understanding 7 to the efforts 努力 of his aunt, who did call on him in her return through London, and there relate 相关 her journey 13 to Longbourn, its motive 动机, and the substance 物质 of her conversation with Elizabeth; dwelling 住 emphatically 重点 on every expression of the latter 11 which, in her lady‧ship 女士‧船’s apprehension 顾虑, peculiarly 奇怪的 denoted 表示 her perverseness and assurance 保证; in the belief 11 that such a relation 关系 must assist 帮助；协助；援助 her endeavours to obtain 获得 that promise 允诺 from her nephew 14 which she had refused 拒绝 to give. But, unluckily 不幸的 for her lady‧ship 女士‧船, its effect 影响 had been exactly contrariwise.
“It taught 教:teach me to hope,” said he, “as I had scarcely ever allowed myself 我 to hope before. I knew know enough of your disposition 性格 to be certain that, had you been absolutely 9, irrevocably decided 决定 against me, you would have acknowledged 确认 it to Lady Catherine, frankly 坦率地说 and openly.”
Elizabeth coloured and laughed 笑 as she replied, “Yes, you know enough of my frankness to believe me cap‧able 能 of that. After abusing 滥用 you so abominably to your face, I could have no scruple in abusing 滥用 you to all your relations.”
“What did you say of me, that I did not deserve 应受? For, though your accusations 指控 were ill-founded, formed on mistaken 错误 premises 前提, my behaviour to you at the time had merited 值得 the severest 严峻的 rep‧roof 代表‧屋顶. It was unpardonable. I cannot think of it without abhorrence.”
“We will not quarrel 争吵 for the greater share 股 of blame 10 annexed 附件 to that evening,” said Elizabeth. “The conduct 进行 of neither, if strictly 严格的 examined 检查, will be irreproachable; but since then, we have both, I hope, improved 改进 in civility.”
“I cannot be so easily reconciled 调和 to myself 我. The recollection 回忆 of what I then said, of my conduct 进行, my manners, my expressions 表现 during the whole of it, is now, and has been many months, inexpressibly painful 痛苦 to me. Your rep‧roof 代表‧屋顶, so well applied 用于, I shall never forget 7: ‘had you behaved 7 in a more many gentleman‧like 先生‧喜欢；象 manner.’ Those were your words. You know not, you can scarcely conceive 构想, how they have tortured 拷打 me;—though it was some time, I confess 供认, before I was reasonable 8 enough to allow 11 their justice 8.”
“I was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong 8 an impression 印象. I had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt feel in such a way.”
“I can easily believe it. You thought think me then devoid 没有 of every proper 6 feeling, I am sure you did. The turn of your countenance 面容 I shall never forget 8, as you said that I could not have addressed 地址 you in any possible way that would induce 促使 you to accept 8 me.”
“Oh! do not repeat 重复 what I then said. These recollections 回忆 will not do at all. I assure 11 you that I have long been most many heartily 爽朗 ashamed 10 of it.”
Darcy mentioned his letter. “Did it,” said he, “did it soon make you think better well of me? Did you, on reading it, give any credit 信用 to its contents 6?”
She explained 讲解 what its effect 影响 on her had been, and how gradually 逐步地 all her former prejudices 成见 had been removed 去掉.
“I knew know,” said he, “that what I wrote write must give you pain, but it was necessary. I hope you have destroyed 破坏 the letter. There was one part especially 尤其地, the opening of it, which I should dread 恐惧 your having the power of reading again. I can remember 7 some expressions 表现 which might justly make you hate 仇恨 me.”
“The letter shall certainly be burnt 烧:burn, if you believe it essential 基本的 to the preservation 保存 of my regard; but, though we have both reason to think my opinions 意见 not entirely 9 unalterable, they are not, I hope, quite so easily changed as that implies 意味着.”
“When I wrote write that letter,” replied Darcy, “I believed myself 我 perfectly calm 镇定的 and cool 冷静的；酷, but I am since convinced 说服 that it was written write in a dreadful 可怕 bitterness 苦味 of spirit 精神.”
“The letter, perhaps, began begin in bitterness 苦味, but it did not end so. The adieu is charity 慈善 itself 本身. But think no more many of the letter. The feelings of the person who wrote write, and the person who received it, are now so widely 范围广地；广泛地 different from what they were then, that every unpleasant 不愉快 circumstance 环境 attending 出席 it ought to be forgotten 7. You must learn 学习 some of my philosophy 哲学. Think only of the past 7 as its remembrance 纪念 gives you pleasure.”
“I cannot give you credit 信用 for any philosophy of the kind. Your retrospections must be so totally 彻底 void 空虚 of reproach 责备, that the contentment arising 产生 from them is not of philosophy, but, what is much better well, of innocence 无辜. But with me, it is not so. Painful recollections 回忆 will intrude 侵入 which cannot, which ought not, to be repelled 击退. I have been a selfish 自私的 being all my life, in practice 练习, though not in principle 原理. As a child I was taught 教:teach what was right, but I was not taught to correct 正确的 my temper 性情. I was given give good principles 原理, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately 不幸 an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents 父母, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all that was benevolent and amiable 可亲), allowed, encouraged 鼓励, almost taught me to be selfish 自私的 and overbearing; to care for none 8 beyond my own family circle 圆; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth 值得的 compared 比较 with my own. Such I was, from eight 八 to eight 八 and twenty 二十; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest 亲爱的, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe 欠…债 you! You taught 教:teach me a lesson 教训, hard 硬；困难的 indeed at first, but most many advantageous 有利. By you, I was properly 正确地 humbled 谦逊的. I came to you without a doubt of my reception 招待会. You showed show me how insufficient 不足 were all my pretensions to please 7 a woman worthy 值得 of being pleased.”
“Had you then persuaded your‧self 你自己 that I should?”
“Indeed I had. What will you think of my vanity 虚荣? I believed you to be wishing 希望, expecting my addresses 地址.”
“My manners must have been in fault 缺点, but not intentionally 故意地, I assure 12 you. I never meant mean to deceive 欺诈 you, but my spirits might often lead me wrong 有毛病的. How you must have hated 仇恨 me after that evening?”
“ Hate 仇恨 you! I was angry 9 perhaps at first, but my anger 8 soon began begin to take a proper 7 direction 方向.”
“I am almost afraid of asking what you thought think of me, when we met meet at Pemberley. You blamed 指责 me for coming?”
“No indeed; I felt feel nothing but surprise.”
“Your surprise could not be greater than mine 我的 in being noticed 6 by you. My conscience 良心 told tell me that I deserved 应受 no extra‧ordinary 非凡的 politeness 礼貌, and I confess 供认 that I did not expect to receive more many than my due 由于.”
“My object then,” replied Darcy, “was to show you, by every civility in my power, that I was not so mean as to resent 愤恨 the past 8; and I hoped 8 to obtain 获得 your forgiveness 饶恕, to lessen 变少；减轻 your ill opinion, by letting you see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes introduced 提出 themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an hour after I had seen see you.”
He then told tell her of Georgiana’s delight 11 in her acquaintance 熟人, and of her disappointment 失望 at its sudden 突然的 interruption 中断; which naturally 自然地 leading to the cause of that interruption, she soon learnt 8 that his resolution 解析度 of following her from Derbyshire in quest 寻求 of her sister had been formed before he quitted 放弃 the inn 小旅馆, and that his gravity 重力 and thoughtfulness there had arisen 产生:arise from no other struggles 挣扎；搏斗 than what such a purpose must comprehend 理解.
She expressed her gratitude 感谢 again, but it was too painful 痛苦 a subject to each, to be dwelt on farther far.
After walking several miles 英里 in a leisurely 悠闲 manner, and too busy 忙碌的 to know anything about it, they found find at last, on examining 检查 their watches 钟表；注视, that it was time to be at home.
“What could become of Mr. Bingley and Jane!” was a wonder which introduced 提出 the discussion 讨论 of their affairs 事情. Darcy was delighted 快乐 with their engagement 订婚; his friend had given give him the earliest information of it.
“I must ask whether you were surprised?” said Elizabeth.
“Not at all. When I went away, I felt feel that it would soon happen 发生.”
“That is to say, you had given give your per‧mission 允许. I guessed 推测 as much.” And though he exclaimed 喊叫 at the term 学期, she found find that it had been pretty 9 much the case.
“On the evening before my going to London,” said he, “I made a confession 承认 to him, which I believe I ought to have made long ago. I told tell him of all that had occurred 发生 to make my former interference 干涉 in his affairs 事情 absurd 荒诞 and impertinent. His surprise was great. He had never had the slightest 微小的 suspicion 怀疑. I told tell him, more‧over 再者, that I believed myself 我 mistaken 错误 in supposing 假定, as I had done, that your sister was indifferent 冷漠 to him; and as I could easily perceive 认为 that his attachment 附件 to her was unabated, I felt feel no doubt of their happiness 幸福 together.”
Elizabeth could not help smiling 微笑 at his easy 9 manner of directing his friend.
“Did you speak from your own observation 意见,” said she, “when you told tell him that my sister loved 爱 him, or merely 9 from my information last spring 春季?”
“From the former. I had narrowly 狭窄的 observed 8 her during the two visits 访问 which I had lately 近来 made here; and I was convinced 说服 of her affect‧ion 感情.”
“And your assurance 保证 of it, I suppose, carried 运送；支撑 immediate 7 conviction 定罪 to him.”
“It did. Bingley is most many unaffectedly 未受影响 modest 谦虚的. His diffidence had prevented his depending 依靠 on his own judgment 判断 in so anxious a case, but his reliance 依赖 on mine 我的 made every thing easy. I was obliged 责成 to confess 供认 one thing, which for a time, and not unjustly 不公, offended 触怒 him. I could not allow myself 我 to conceal 隐藏 that your sister had been in town three months last winter 冬, that I had known know it, and purposely 目的 kept keep it from him. He was angry 10. But his anger 9, I am persuaded, lasted no longer than he remained in any doubt of your sister’s sentiments 情绪. He has heartily 爽朗 forgiven 原谅:forgive me now.”
Elizabeth longed to observe 观察 that Mr. Bingley had been a most many delightful 愉快 friend; so easily guided 引路 that his worth 值得的 was invaluable 无价; but she checked 检查 her‧self 她自己. She remembered 8 that he had yet to learn 学习 to be laughed 笑 at, and it was rather too early to begin. In anticipating 预期 the happiness 幸福 of Bingley, which of course was to be inferior 下 only to his own, he continued the conversation till they reached the house. In the hall 9 they parted.

“My dear Lizzy, where can you have been walking to?” was a question which Elizabeth received from Jane as soon as she entered their room, and from all the others when they sat down to table. She had only to say in reply 9, that they had wandered 漫步 about, till she was beyond her own knowledge 8. She coloured as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything else, awakened 憬 a suspicion 怀疑 of the truth.
The evening passed quietly 清静的, unmarked 无人盯防 by anything extra‧ordinary 非凡的. The acknowledged 确认 lovers 情人 talked and laughed 笑, the unacknowledged were silent 9. Darcy was not of a disposition 性格 in which happiness 幸福 over‧flow 溢出 in mirth; and Elizabeth, agitated 激荡 and confused 使困窘, rather knew know that she was happy than felt feel her‧self 她自己 to be so; for, besides 而且 the immediate 8 embarrassment 困窘, there were other evils 6 before her. She anticipated 预期 what would be felt feel in the family when her situation became become known know; she was aware 知道的 that no one liked him but Jane; and even feared 9 that with the others it was a dislike 反感 which not all his fortune 9 and consequence 后果 might do away.
At night she opened her heart to Jane. Though suspicion 怀疑 was very far from Miss Bennet’s general habits 习惯, she was absolutely incredulous here.
“You are joking 笑话, Lizzy. This cannot be!—engaged 从事 to Mr. Darcy! No, no, you shall not deceive 欺诈 me. I know it to be impossible.”
“This is a wretched 不幸的人 beginning indeed! My sole 唯一 dependence 依赖 was on you; and I am sure nobody 没有人 else will believe me, if you do not. Yet, indeed, I am in earnest 热心的. I speak nothing but the truth. He still loves 爱 me, and we are engaged 从事.”
Jane looked at her doubtingly. “Oh, Lizzy! it cannot be. I know how much you dislike 反感 him.”
“You know nothing of the matter. That is all to be forgot 忘记:forget. Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now. But in such cases as these, a good memory 记忆 is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever remember 8 it myself 我.”
Miss Bennet still looked all amazement 惊愕. Elizabeth again, and more many seriously 严肃地 assured her of its truth.
“Good Heaven 天! can it be really so! Yet now I must believe you,” cried Jane. “My dear, dear Lizzy, I would—I do congratulate 祝贺 you—but are you certain? for‧give 原谅 the question—are you quite certain that you can be happy with him?”
“There can be no doubt of that. It is settled between us already, that we are to be the happiest couple 两；双 in the world. But are you pleased, Jane? Shall you like to have such a brother?”
“Very, very much. Nothing could give either Bingley or myself 我 more many delight 12. But we considered it, we talked of it as impossible. And do you really love him quite well enough? Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affect‧ion 感情. Are you quite sure that you feel what you ought to do?”
“Oh, yes! You will only think I feel more many than I ought to do, when I tell you all.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why, I must confess 供认 that I love him better well than I do Bingley. I am afraid you will be angry 11.”
“My dearest 6 sister, now be serious 11. I want to talk very seriously 严肃地. Let me know every thing that I am to know, without delay 延迟. Will you tell me how long you have loved 爱 him?”
“It has been coming on so gradually 逐步地, that I hardly know when it began begin. But I believe I must date 日期 it from my first seeing his beautiful 美丽 grounds 地面 at Pemberley.”
Another entreaty that she would be serious, however, produced 生产 the desired 希望 effect 6; and she soon satisfied Jane by her solemn 庄严的 assurances 保证 of attachment 附件. When convinced 说服 on that article 文章, Miss Bennet had nothing further to wish.
“Now I am quite happy,” said she, “for you will be as happy as myself 我. I always had a value for him. Were it for nothing but his love of you, I must always have esteemed 尊重 him; but now, as Bingley’s friend and your husband, there can be only Bingley and your‧self 你自己 more many dear to me. But Lizzy, you have been very sly, very reserved 预订；保留 with me. How little did you tell me of what passed at Pemberley and Lambton! I owe 欠…债 all that I know of it to another, not to you.”
Elizabeth told tell her the motives 动机 of her secrecy 保密. She had been unwilling 不甘 to mention Bingley; and the unsettled 搞糟 state of her own feelings had made her equally 平等地…；相同地… avoid 8 the name of his friend. But now she would no longer conceal 隐藏 from her his share 7 in Lydia’s marriage. All was acknowledged 确认, and half the night spent 8 in conversation.
“Good gracious 亲切!” cried Mrs. Bennet, as she stood stand at a window 8 the next morning, “if that disagree‧able 不同意‧能够的 Mr. Darcy is not coming here again with our dear Bingley! What can he mean by being so tire‧some 使…疲惫‧一些 as to be always coming here? I had no notion 概念 but he would go a-shooting 射击；拍摄, or something or other, and not disturb 打扰 us with his company. What shall we do with him? Lizzy, you must walk out with him again, that he may not be in Bingley’s way.”
Elizabeth could hardly help laughing 7 at so convenient 方便的 a proposal 提议; yet was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an epithet.
As soon as they entered, Bingley looked at her so expressively 表现的, and shook 摇晃:shake hands with such warmth 温暖, as left no doubt of his good information; and he soon after‧ward 之后 said aloud 高声, “Mrs. Bennet, have you no more many lanes 车道 hereabouts in which Lizzy may lose 失去 her way again to-day?”
“I advise 劝告 Mr. Darcy, and Lizzy, and Kitty,” said Mrs. Bennet, “to walk to Oakham Mount 增加 this morning. It is a nice 美好的 long walk, and Mr. Darcy has never seen see the view 看法.”
“It may do very well for the others,” replied Mr. Bingley; “but I am sure it will be too much for Kitty. Won’t it, Kitty?” Kitty owned that she had rather stay at home. Darcy professed 宣称 a great curiosity 好奇心 to see the view 6 from the Mount, and Elizabeth silently 沉默的 consented 同意. As she went up stairs to get ready 准备好的, Mrs. Bennet followed her, saying:
“I am quite sorry, Lizzy, that you should be forced to have that disagree‧able 不同意‧能够的 man all to your‧self 你自己. But I hope you will not mind it: it is all for Jane’s sake 缘故, you know; and there is no occasion for talking to him, except 10 just now and then. So, do not put your‧self 你自己 to inconvenience 不方便.”
During their walk, it was resolved 解决 that Mr. Bennet’s consent 同意 should be asked in the course of the evening. Elizabeth reserved 预订；保留 to her‧self 她自己 the application 7 for her mother’s. She could not determine 决心 how her mother would take it; sometimes doubting 怀疑 whether all his wealth 财产 and grandeur 富丽堂皇 would be enough to over‧come 战胜 her abhorrence of the man. But whether she were violently 猛烈 set against the match 8, or violently delighted 快乐 with it, it was certain that her manner would be equally 平等地…；相同地… ill adapted 改变；适应于 to do credit 信用 to her sense; and she could no more many bear that Mr. Darcy should hear the first raptures of her joy 喜悦, than the first vehemence of her disapprobation.
In the evening, soon after Mr. Bennet withdrew to the library 8, she saw see Mr. Darcy rise 上升 also and follow him, and her agitation 搅动 on seeing it was extreme 极端的. She did not fear her father’s opposition 反对, but he was going to be made unhappy 不快乐; and that it should be through her means—that she, his favourite child, should be distressing 苦难 him by her choice 选择, should be filling 装满 him with fears 害怕 and regrets 后悔 in disposing 部署 of her—was a wretched 不幸的人 reflection 反映, and she sat in misery 9 till Mr. Darcy appeared again, when, looking at him, she was a little relieved 解除 by his smile. In a few minutes he approached 靠近 the table where she was sitting 9 with Kitty; and, while pretending 假装 to admire 赞赏 her work said in a whisper 低声说, “Go to your father, he wants you in the library 9.” She was gone directly.
Her father was walking about the room, looking grave 坟墓；严重的 and anxious. “Lizzy,” said he, “what are you doing? Are you out of your senses, to be accepting 承认 this man? Have not you always hated 仇恨 him?”
How earnestly 6 did she then wish that her former opinions 意见 had been more many reasonable 9, her expressions 6 more many mode‧rate 有节制的! It would have spared 6 her from explanations 说明 and professions 职业 which it was exceedingly 非常 awkward 难堪 to give; but they were now necessary, and she assured him, with some confusion 混乱, of her attachment 附件 to Mr. Darcy.
“Or, in other words, you are determined to have him. He is rich 富有的, to be sure, and you may have more many fine clothes 8 and fine carriages 运输 than Jane. But will they make you happy?”
“Have you any other objection 反对,” said Elizabeth, “than your belief 12 of my indifference 漠不关心?”
“None 9 at all. We all know him to be a proud 10, unpleasant 不愉快 sort 10 of man; but this would be nothing if you really liked him.”
“I do, I do like him,” she replied, with tears 8 in her eyes, “I love him. Indeed he has no improper 不当 pride. He is perfectly amiable 可亲. You do not know what he really is; then pray 祈祷 do not pain me by speaking 讲 of him in such terms.”
“Lizzy,” said her father, “I have given give him my consent 同意. He is the kind of man, indeed, to whom I should never dare refuse 拒绝 anything, which he condescended to ask. I now give it to you, if you are resolved 解决 on having him. But let me advise 劝告 you to think better well of it. I know your disposition 性格, Lizzy. I know that you could be neither happy nor respect‧able 可敬, unless 7 you truly 真 esteemed 尊重 your husband; unless 8 you looked up to him as a superior 优越. Your lively talents 天赋 would place you in the greatest danger 8 in an unequal 不等 marriage. You could scarcely escape 逃脱 discredit 怀疑 and misery 10. My child, let me not have the grief 哀思 of seeing you unable 无法 to respect your partner 伙伴 in life. You know not what you are about.”
Elizabeth, still more many affected 影响, was earnest 热心的 and solemn 庄严的 in her reply 10; and at length, by repeated assurances 保证 that Mr. Darcy was really the object of her choice 选择, by explaining 讲解 the gradual 渐进的 change which her estimation 估计 of him had undergone, relating 相关 her absolute 绝对的 certainty 确定性 that his affect‧ion 感情 was not the work of a day, but had stood stand the test 试验 of many months’ suspense 悬念, and enumerating with energy 能源 all his good qualities 质量, she did conquer 征服 her father’s incredulity, and reconcile 调和 him to the match 9.
“Well, my dear,” said he, when she ceased 停止 speaking 讲, “I have no more many to say. If this be the case, he deserves 应受 you. I could not have parted with you, my Lizzy, to anyone less little worthy 值得.”
To complete the favourable impression 印象, she then told tell him what Mr. Darcy had voluntarily 自行 done for Lydia. He heard hear her with astonishment 惊愕.
“This is an evening of wonders 琢磨；奇妙, indeed! And so, Darcy did every thing; made up the match 10, gave give the money, paid pay the fellow 同伴’s debts 9, and got get him his commission 佣金! So much the better well. It will save 节省 me a world of trouble 9 and economy 经济. Had it been your uncle’s doing, I must and would have paid pay him; but these violent 猛烈 young lovers 情人 carry 运送；支撑 every thing their own way. I shall offer 9 to pay him to-morrow; he will rant 胡言乱语 and storm 暴风雨 about his love for you, and there will be an end of the matter.”
He then recollected her embarrassment 困窘 a few days before, on his reading Mr. Collins’s letter; and after laughing 8 at her some time, allowed her at last to go—saying, as she quitted 放弃 the room, “If any young men come for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite at leisure 闲暇.”
Elizabeth’s mind was now relieved 解除 from a very heavy 厚实；重的 weight 重量; and, after half an hour’s quiet 清静的 reflection 反映 in her own room, she was able to join 9 the others with tolerable composure. Every thing was too recent 最近的 for gaiety 快乐, but the evening passed tranquilly 宁静 away; there was no longer anything material 材料 to be dreaded 恐惧, and the comfort of ease 12 and familiarity 熟悉 would come in time.
When her mother went up to her dressing 7-room at night, she followed her, and made the important communication 通讯. Its effect 7 was most many extraordinary 9; for on first hearing it, Mrs. Bennet sat quite still, and unable 无法 to utter 说出 a syllable 音节. Nor was it under many, many minutes that she could comprehend 理解 what she heard hear; though not in general backward 向后的 to credit 信用 what was for the advantage of her family, or that came in the shape 形状 of a lover 爱 to any of them. She began begin at length to recover 恢复, to fidget about in her chair 椅子, get up, sit 6 down again, wonder, and bless 祝福 her‧self 她自己.
“Good gracious 亲切! Lord 主 bless me! only think! dear me! Mr. Darcy! Who would have thought think it! And is it really true? Oh! my sweetest 甜的 Lizzy! how rich 富有的 and how great you will be! What pin 钉-money, what jewels 宝石, what carriages 运输 you will have! Jane’s is nothing to it—nothing at all. I am so pleased—so happy. Such a charming 魔力；使陶醉 man!—so hand‧some 英俊! so tall 身高；高的!—Oh, my dear Lizzy! pray 8 apologise for my having disliked 反感 him so much before. I hope he will over‧look 俯瞰 it. Dear, dear Lizzy. A house in town! Every thing that is charming! Three daughters married! Ten 十 thou‧sand 千 a year! Oh, Lord 主! What will become of me. I shall go distracted 转移.”
This was enough to prove 证明 that her approbation need not be doubted 怀疑: and Elizabeth, rejoicing 欢庆 that such an effusion was heard hear only by her‧self 她自己, soon went away. But before she had been three minutes in her own room, her mother followed her.
“My dearest 7 child,” she cried, “I can think of nothing else! Ten 十 thou‧sand 千 a year, and very likely more many! ‘Tis as good as a Lord 主! And a special 特殊的 licence. You must and shall be married by a special licence. But my dearest 8 love, tell me what dish 盘 Mr. Darcy is particularly fond 9 of, that I may have it to-morrow.”
This was a sad 悲哀的 omen of what her mother’s behaviour to the gentleman himself might be; and Elizabeth found find that, though in the certain possession 所有物 of his warmest 暖和的 affect‧ion 感情, and secure 安全 of her relations’ consent 同意, there was still something to be wished for. But the morrow passed off much better well than she expected; for Mrs. Bennet luckily 幸 stood stand in such awe 威严 of her intended son-in-law that she ventured 企业；投机活动；商业冒险 not to speak to him, unless 9 it was in her power to offer him any attention, or mark 斑点；标注 her deference 尊重 for his opinion.
Elizabeth had the satisfaction of seeing her father taking pains 痛苦 to get acquainted 认识 with him; and Mr. Bennet soon assured her that he was rising 上升 every hour in his esteem 尊重.
“I admire 赞赏 all my three sons 儿子-in-law highly,” said he. “Wickham, perhaps, is my favourite; but I think I shall like your husband quite as well as Jane’s.”

Elizabeth’s spirits soon rising to playfulness again, she wanted Mr. Darcy to account for his having ever fallen 落下:fall in love with her. “How could you begin?” said she. “I can comprehend 理解 your going on charmingly, when you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in the first place?”
“I cannot fix 固定 on the hour, or the spot 地点, or the look, or the words, which laid 放置:lay the foundation 基础. It is too long ago. I was in the middle 中部 before I knew know that I had begun begin.”
“My beauty you had early withstood, and as for my manners—my behaviour to you was at least always bordering 边；界 on the uncivil, and I never spoke to you without rather wishing 希望 to give you pain than not. Now be sincere 真诚的; did you admire 赞赏 me for my impertinence?”
“For the liveliness of your mind, I did.”
“You may as well call it impertinence at once. It was very little less little. The fact is, that you were sick 病；恶心 of civility, of deference 尊重, of officious attention. You were disgusted 反感 with the women who were always speaking 6, and looking, and thinking for your approbation alone. I roused 唤醒, and interested you, because I was so unlike 不像 them. Had you not been really amiable 可亲, you would have hated 仇恨 me for it; but in spite 8 of the pains 痛苦 you took to disguise 伪装 your‧self 你自己, your feelings were always noble 高尚的 and just; and in your heart, you thoroughly 彻底 despised 讨厌 the persons who so assiduously courted 法院 you. There—I have saved 节省 you the trouble 10 of accounting 账；解释 for it; and really, all things considered, I begin to think it perfectly reasonable 10. To be sure, you knew know no actual 真实的 good of me—but nobody 没有人 thinks of that when they fall 落下 in love.”
“Was there no good in your affectionate 亲热 behaviour to Jane while she was ill at Netherfield?”
“Dearest 9 Jane! who could have done less little for her? But make a virtue 美德 of it by all means. My good qualities 质量 are under your protection 保护, and you are to exaggerate 夸大 them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs 属于 to me to find occasions 机会 for teasing 逗 and quarrelling 争吵 with you as often as may be; and I shall begin directly by asking you what made you so unwilling 不甘 to come to the point at last. What made you so shy 害羞 of me, when you first called, and after‧ward 之后 dined 吃饭 here? Why, especially 尤其地, when you called, did you look as if you did not care about me?”
“Because you were grave 坟墓；严重的 and silent 10, and gave give me no encouragement 鼓励.”
“But I was embarrassed 阻碍.”
“And so was I.”
“You might have talked to me more many when you came to dinner.”
“A man who had felt feel less little, might.”
“How unlucky 不幸的 that you should have a reasonable 11 answer to give, and that I should be so reasonable as to admit 许可进入 it! But I wonder how long you would have gone on, if you had been left to your‧self 你自己. I wonder when you would have spoken 口头讲的, if I had not asked you! My resolution 解析度 of thanking 谢谢 you for your kindness 善良 to Lydia had certainly great effect 8. Too much, I am afraid; for what becomes of the moral 道德的, if our comfort springs 春季 from a breach 突破口 of promise 7? for I ought not to have mentioned the subject. This will never do.”
“You need not distress 苦难 your‧self 你自己. The moral will be perfectly fair 公平；美丽. Lady Catherine’s unjustifiable endeavours to separate 分开 us were the means of removing 去掉 all my doubts 怀疑. I am not indebted 感激的 for my present happiness 幸福 to your eager 9 desire 7 of expressing 表达 your gratitude 感谢. I was not in a humour to wait 7 for any opening of yours. My aunt’s intelligence 情报 had given give me hope, and I was determined at once to know every thing.”
“Lady Catherine has been of infinite 无穷 use, which ought to make her happy, for she loves 爱 to be of use. But tell me, what did you come down to Netherfield for? Was it merely to ride 乘 to Longbourn and be embarrassed 阻碍? or had you intended any more many serious consequence 后果?”
“My real purpose was to see you, and to judge 审判, if I could, whether I might ever hope to make you love me. My avowed one, or what I avowed to myself 我, was to see whether your sister were still partial 局部 to Bingley, and if she were, to make the confession 承认 to him which I have since made.”
“Shall you ever have courage 勇气 to announce 宣布 to Lady Catherine what is to befall her?”
“I am more many likely to want more many time than courage, Elizabeth. But it ought to be done, and if you will give me a sheet 纸 ofpaper 纸；报纸, it shall be done directly.”
“And if I had not a letter to write myself 我, I might sit 7 by you and admire 赞赏 the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. But I have an aunt, too, who must not be longer neglected 疏忽.”
From an unwillingness 不愿意 to confess 9 how much her intimacy 亲密关系 with Mr. Darcy had been over-rated 速度, Elizabeth had never yet answered Mrs. Gardiner’s long letter; but now, having that to communicate 通信 which she knew know would be most many welcome 欢迎, she was almost ashamed 11 to find that her uncle and aunt had already lost three days of happiness 幸福, and immediately wrote write as follows:
“I would have thanked 谢谢 you before, my dear aunt, as I ought to have done, for your long, kind, satisfactory 满意, detail 详述 of particulars; but to say the truth, I was too cross 穿过；十字 to write. You supposed 8 more many than really existed 存在. But now suppose as much as you choose 挑选; give a loose 松的 rein 缰绳 to your fancy 想像, indulge 放纵 your imagination 想像力 in every possible flight 飞行 which the subject will afford 买得起, and unless 10 you believe me actually 6 married, you cannot greatly err 呃. You must write again very soon, and praise 赞扬 him a great deal 9 more many than you did in your last. I thank 9 you, again and again, for not going to the Lakes. How could I be so silly 愚蠢 as to wish it! Your idea of the ponies 小马 is delightful 愉快. We will go round 9 the Park 10 every day. I am the happiest creature 动物；生物 in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice 9. I am happier 幸福的 even than Jane; she only smiles 微笑, I laugh 7. Mr. Darcy sends 派遣；送 you all the love in the world that he can spare 节省；多余的；备用件 from me. You are all to come to Pemberley at Christmas 圣诞节. Yours, etc.”
Mr. Darcy’s letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style 样式; and still different from either was what Mr. Bennet sent 7 to Mr. Collins, in reply 11 to his last.
“DEAR SIR 11,
“I must trouble 11 you once more many for congratulations 7. Elizabeth will soon be the wife of Mr. Darcy. Console Lady Catherine as well as you can. But, if I were you, I would stand by the nephew 15. He has more many to give.
“Yours sincerely 真诚的, etc.”
Miss Bingley’s congratulations 8 to her brother, on his approaching 8 marriage, were all that was affectionate 亲热 and insincere. She wrote write even to Jane on the occasion, to express her delight 13, and repeat 重复 all her former professions 职业 of regard. Jane was not deceived 7, but she was affected 影响; and though feeling no reliance 依赖 on her, could not help writing her a much kinder answer than she knew know was deserved 应受.
The joy 喜悦 which Miss Darcy expressed on receiving similar 类似 information, was as sincere 真诚的 as her brother’s in sending 派遣；送 it. Four sides ofpaper 纸；报纸 were insufficient 不足 to contain 包含 all her delight, and all her earnest 热心的 desire 8 of being loved 爱 by her sister.
Before any answer could arrive 到达 from Mr. Collins, or any congratulations 9 to Elizabeth from his wife, the Longbourn family heard hear that the Collinses were come themselves to Lucas Lodge 存放. The reason of this sudden 突然的 removal 切除 was soon evident 明显. Lady Catherine had been rendered 给予 so exceedingly 非常 angry 12 by the contents 7 of her nephew 16’s letter, that Charlotte, really rejoicing 欢庆 in the match 11, was anxious to get away till the storm 暴风雨 was blown 吹；殴打:blow over. At such a moment, the arrival 到达 of her friend was a sincere 真诚的 pleasure to Elizabeth, though in the course of their meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly 亲爱的 bought 购买, when she saw see Mr. Darcy exposed 暴露 to all the parading 游行 and obsequious civility of her husband. He bore 厌倦；厌烦；生 it, however, with admirable 令人钦佩 calmness. He could even listen 倾听 to Sir 12 William Lucas, when he complimented 赞扬 him on carrying 运送；支撑 away the brightest 明亮的 jewel 宝石 of the country, and expressed his hopes of their all meeting frequently at St. James’s, with very decent 正经 composure. If he did shrug 耸 his shoulders 肩膀, it was not till Sir 13 William was out of sight 9.
Mrs. Phillips’s vulgarity was another, and perhaps a greater, tax 税；使负重担 on his forbearance; and though Mrs. Phillips, as well as her sister, stood stand in too much awe 威严 of him to speak with the familiarity 熟悉 which Bingley’s good humour encouraged 鼓励, yet, when‧ever 随时 she did speak, she must be vulgar 庸俗. Nor was her respect for him, though it made her more many quiet 清静的, at all likely to make her more many elegant 优雅. Elizabeth did all she could to shield 盾 him from the frequent 频繁的 notice 注意 of either, and was ever anxious to keep him to her‧self 她自己, and to those of her family with whom he might con‧verse 交谈 without mortification; and though the uncomfortable 不舒服 feelings arising 产生 from all this took from the season 季节 of court‧ship 法院‧船 much of its pleasure, it added to the hope of the future 7; and she looked forward with delight to the time when they should be removed 去掉 from society 7 so little pleasing to either, to all the comfort and elegance 优雅 of their family party at Pemberley.

Chapter 61
Happy for all her maternal 母系 feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got get rid 使摆脱 of her two most many deserving 应受 daughters. With what delighted 6 pride she after‧ward 之后 visited 访问 Mrs. Bingley, and talked of Mrs. Darcy, may be guessed 推测. I wish I could say, for the sake 缘故 of her family, that the accomplishment 成就 of her earnest 9 desire 9 in the establishment 机构 of so many of her children produced 6 so happy an effect 9 as to make her a sensible 明智, amiable 可亲, well-informed 7 woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it was lucky 幸运 for her husband, who might not have relished 滋味 domestic 国内 felicity in so unusual 异常 a form, that she still was occasionally 偶尔，间或；有时 nervous 担心的 and invariably 不变地 silly 愚蠢.
Mr. Bennet missed 错过；想念 his second daughter exceedingly 非常; his affect‧ion 感情 for her drew 6 him oftener from home than anything else could do. He delighted 7 in going to Pemberley, especially 7 when he was least expected.
Mr. Bingley and Jane remained at Netherfield only a twelve‧month 十二‧月. So near a vicinity 附近 to her mother and Meryton relations was not desirable 合意 even to his easy temper 性情, or her affectionate 亲热 heart. The darling 宠儿 wish of his sisters was then gratified 取悦; he bought 购买 an estate 房地产 in a neighbouring county 县 to Derbyshire, and Jane and Elizabeth, in addition 加成 to every other source 资源 of happiness 幸福, were within thirty 三十 miles 6 of each other.
Kitty, to her very material 材料 advantage, spent 9 the chief 主要；首领 of her time with her two elder 年长的 sisters. In society 8 so superior 优越 to what she had generally known know, her improvement 起色 was great. She was not of so ungovernable a temper 7 as Lydia; and, removed 去掉 from the influence 影响 of Lydia’s example 例子, she became become, by proper 8 attention and management 管理, less little irritable 急躁, less little ignorant 愚昧, and less little insipid. From the further disadvantage 坏处 of Lydia’s society 9 she was of course carefully 小心 kept keep, and though Mrs. Wickham frequently invited 邀请 her to come and stay with her, with the promise 8 of balls 球 and young men, her father would never consent 同意 to her going.
Mary was the only daughter who remained at home; and she was necessarily 不可避免地，必然地 drawn 7 from the pursuit 追求 of accomplishments 成就 by Mrs. Bennet’s being quite unable 无法 to sit 8 alone. Mary was obliged 责成 to mix 混合 more many with the world, but she could still moralize over every morning visit; and as she was no longer mortified by comparisons 比较 between her sisters’ beauty and her own, it was suspected 怀疑；嫌疑犯 by her father that she submitted 给 to the change without much reluctance 不情愿.
As for Wickham and Lydia, their characters 性格 suffered 受痛苦 no revolution 革命 from the marriage of her sisters. He bore 6 with philosophy 哲学 the conviction 定罪 that Elizabeth must now become acquainted 认识 with whatever of his ingratitude and false‧hood 虚伪的‧引擎罩 had before been unknown 未知 to her; and in spite 9 of every thing, was not wholly 全 without hope that Darcy might yet be prevailed 战胜 on to make his fortune 10. The congratulatory letter which Elizabeth received from Lydia on her marriage, explained 讲解 to her that, by his wife at least, if not by himself, such a hope was cherished 珍视. The letter was to this effect:
“MY DEAR LIZZY,
“I wish you joy 喜悦. If you love Mr. Darcy half as well as I do my dear Wickham, you must be very happy. It is a great comfort to have you so rich 富有的, and when you have nothing else to do, I hope you will think of us. I am sure Wickham would like a place at court 法院 very much, and I do not think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help. Any place would do, of about three or four hundred 百 a year; but however, do not speak to Mr. Darcy about it, if you had rather not.
“Yours, etc.”
As it happened that Elizabeth had much rather not, she endeavoured in her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation 期望 of the kind. Such relief 宽慰, however, as it was in her power to afford 买得起, by the practice 练习 of what might be called economy 经济 in her own private 私有的 expences, she frequently sent 8 them. It had always been evident 明显 to her that such an income 收入 as theirs, under the direction 7 of two persons so extravagant 靡 in their wants, and heed‧less 注意‧少 of the future 8, must be very insufficient 不足 to their support 支持; and when‧ever 随时 they changed their quarters 四分之一, either Jane or her‧self 她自己 were sure of being applied 用于 to for some little assistance 帮助 towards discharging 卸货 their bills 账单. Their manner of living, even when the restoration 恢复 of peace 和平 dismissed 解雇 them to a home, was unsettled 搞糟 in the extreme 极端的. They were always moving from place to place in quest 寻求 of a cheap 便宜的 situation, and always spending 用钱；消磨时间 more many than they ought. His affect‧ion 感情 for her soon sunk 淹没:sink into indifference 漠不关心; hers lasted a little longer; and in spite 10 of her youth 年轻 and her manners, she retained 保留 all the claims 声称 to reputation 名气 which her marriage had given give her.
Though Darcy could never receive him at Pemberley, yet, for Elizabeth’s sake 8, he assisted 帮助；协助；援助 him further in his profession 职业. Lydia was occasionally 偶尔，间或；有时 a visitor 访问者 there, when her husband was gone to enjoy 享有 himself in London or Bath 沐浴; and with the Bingleys they both of them frequently staid so long, that even Bingley’s good humour was over‧come 战胜, and he proceeded 继续 so far as to talk of giving them a hint 暗示 to be gone.
Miss Bingley was very deeply 深深地；极其，非常 mortified by Darcy’s marriage; but as she thought think it advisable 可取 to retain 保留 the right of visiting 访问 at Pemberley, she dropt all her resentment 怨恨; was fonder 喜欢的 than ever of Georgiana, almost as attentive 注意的 to Darcy as heretofore, and paid pay off every arrear of civility to Elizabeth.
Pemberley was now Georgiana’s home; and the attachment 附件 of the sisters was exactly what Darcy had hoped 9 to see. They were able to love each other even as well as they intended. Georgiana had the highest opinion in the world of Elizabeth; though at first she often listened 6 with an astonishment 惊愕 bordering 边；界 on alarm 10 at her lively, sportive, manner of talking to her brother. He, who had always inspired 激励，鼓舞 in her‧self 她自己 a respect which almost overcame her affect‧ion 感情, she now saw see the object of open pleasantry. Her mind received knowledge 9 which had never before fallen 落下:fall in her way. By Elizabeth’s instructions 指令, she began begin to comprehend 理解 that a woman may take liberties 自由 with her husband which a brother will not always allow in a sister more many than ten 十 years younger than himself.
Lady Catherine was extremely 非常；极端；极其 indignant on the marriage of her nephew 17; and as she gave give way to all the genuine 真正 frankness of her character in her reply to the letter which announced 宣布 its arrangement 安排, she sent 9 him language 语言 so very abusive 滥用的, especially 8 of Elizabeth, that for some time all inter‧course 交往 was at an end. But at length, by Elizabeth’s persuasion 劝说, he was prevailed 战胜 on to over‧look 俯瞰 the offence, and seek 寻求 a reconciliation 和解; and, after a little further resistance 抵抗 on the part of his aunt, her resentment 怨恨 gave give way, either to her affect‧ion 感情 for him, or her curiosity 好奇心 to see how his wife conducted 进行 her‧self 她自己; and she condescended to wait 8 on them at Pemberley, in spite 11 of that pollution 污染 which its woods 木材；树林 had received, not merely from the presence 出席 of such a mistress 情妇, but the visits 访问 of her uncle and aunt from the city.
With the Gardiners, they were always on the most many intimate 亲密 terms. Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved 6 them; and they were both ever sensible 明智 of the warmest 暖和的 gratitude 感谢 towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.
