“伊麗莎，你得記住，他可不象你那么懂得吉英的性格。”
“假如一個女人愛上了一個男人，只要女方不故意瞞住男方，男方一定會看得出的。”
"Remember, Eliza, that he does not know Jane's disposition as you do. "
"But if a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal it, he must find it out. "
"Perhaps he must, if he sees enough of her. But, though Bingley and Jane meet tolerably often, it is never for many hours together; and, as they always see each other in large mixed parties, it is impossible that every moment should be employed in conversing together. Jane should therefore make the most of every half-hour in which she can command his attention. When she is secure of him, there will be more leisure for falling in love as much as she chooses. "
"Your plan is a good one, " replied Elizabeth, "where nothing is in question but the desire of being well married, and if I were determined to get a rich husband, or any husband, I dare say I should adopt it. But these are not Jane's feelings; she is not acting by design. As yet, she cannot even be certain of the degree of her own regard nor of its reasonableness. She has known him only a fortnight. She danced four dances with him at Meryton; she saw him one morning at his own house, and has since dined with him in company four times. This is not quite enough to make her understand his character. "
