凡是有錢的單身漢，總想娶位太太，這已經成了一條舉世公認的真理。
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
"My dear Mr. Bennet, " said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
"But it is, " returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it. "
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
