In thisperturbedstate of mind, with thoughts that could rest on nothing, she walked on; but it would not do; in half a minute the letter was unfolded again, and collecting herself as well as she could, she again began the mortifying perusal of all that related to Wickham, and commanded herself so far as to examine the meaning of every sentence. The account of his connection with the Pemberley family was exactly what he had related himself; and the kindness of the late Mr. Darcy, though she had not before known its extent, agreed equally well with his own words. So far each recital confirmed the other; but when she came to the will, the difference was great. What Wickham had said of the living was freshin her memory, and as she recalled his very words, it was impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the other; and, for a few moments, she flattered herself that her wishes did not err.
她就這樣心煩意亂地往前走，真是千頭萬緒，不知從哪里想起才好。可是不到半分鐘工夫，她又按捺不住，從信封里抽出信來聚精會神地忍痛讀著寫述韋翰的那幾段，逼著自己去玩味每一句話的意思。其中講到韋翰跟彭伯里的關系的那一段，簡直和韋翰自己所說的毫無出入；再說到老達西先生生前對他的好處，信上的話也和韋翰自己所說的話完全符合，雖說她并不知道老達西先生究竟對他好到什么地步。到這里為止，雙方所述的情況都可以互相印證，但是當她讀到遺囑問題的時候，兩個人的話就大不相同了。韋翰說到牧師俸祿的那些話，她還記得清清楚楚；她一想起他那些話，就不免感覺到，他們兩個人之間總有一個人說的是假話，于是她一時之間，倒高興起來了，以為自己這種想法不會有錯。
But when she read and re-read with the closest attention, the particulars immediately following of Wickham's resigning all pretensions to the living, of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three thousand pounds, again was she forced to hesitate. She put down the letter, weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be impartiality--deliberated on the probability of each statement--but with little success. On both sides it was only assertion. Again she read on; but every line proved more clearly that the affair, which she had believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to render Mr. Darcy's conduct in it less than infamous,was capable ofa turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole.
接著她又極其仔細地一讀再讀，讀到韋翰借口放棄牧師俸祿從而獲得了三千磅一筆款項等等情節的時候，她又不由得猶豫起來。她放下那封信，把每一個情節不偏不倚地推敲了一下，把信中每一句話都仔仔細細考慮了一下，看看是否真有其事，可是這樣做也毫無用處。雙方都是各執一辭。她只得再往下讀。可是愈讀愈糊涂；她本以為這件事任憑達西先生怎樣花言巧語，顛倒是非，也絲毫不能減輕他自己的卑鄙無恥，哪里想得到這里面大有文章可做，只要把事情改變一下說法，達西先生就可以把責任推卸得一干二凈。
The extravagance and generalprofligacy which he scrupled not to lay at Mr. Wickham's charge, exceedingly shocked her; the more so, as she could bring no proof of its injustice. She had neverheard ofhim before his entrance into the ----shire Militia, in which he had engaged at the persuasion of the young man who, on meeting him accidentally in town, had there renewed a slight acquaintance. Of his former way of life nothing had been known in Hertfordshire but what he told himself. As to his real character, had information been in her power, she had never felt a wish of inquiring. His countenance, voice, and manner had established him at once in the possession of every virtue. She tried to recollect some instance of goodness, some distinguished trait of integrity or benevolence, that might rescue him from the attacks of Mr. Darcy; or at least, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what Mr. Darcy had described as the idleness and vice of many years' continuance. But no such recollection befriended her.
驕奢淫逸的罪名加在韋翰先生身上，這使她極其驚駭……何況她又提不出反證，于是就越發驚駭。在韋翰先生參加某某郡的民兵團之前，伊麗莎白根本沒有聽到過 他這個人。至于他所以要參加民兵團，也只是因為偶然在鎮上遇見了以前一個泛泛之交的朋友，勸他加入的。講到他以前的為人處世，除了他自己所說的以外，她完全一無所知。至于他的真正的人品，她即使可以打聽得到，也并沒有想要去追根究底。他的儀態音容，叫人一眼看去就覺得他身上具備了一切美德。她竭力要想起一兩件足以說明他品行優良的事實，想起他一些為人誠實仁愛的特性，使達西先生所指責的誹謗可以不攻自破，至少也可以使他的優點遮蓋得住他偶然的過失。她所謂他的偶然過失，都是針對達西先生所指責的連年來的懶 惰和惡習而說的，可惜她就想不出他這樣的一些好處來。
She could see him instantly before her, in every charm of air and address; but she could remember no more substantial good than the general approbation of the neighbourhood, and the regard which his social powers had gained him in the mess. After pausing on this point a considerable while, she once more continued to read. But, alas! the story which followed, of his designs on Miss Darcy, received some confirmation from what had passed between Colonel Fitzwilliam and herself only the morning before; and at last she was referred for the truth of every particular to Colonel Fitzwilliam himself--from whom she had previously received the information of his near concern in all his cousin's affairs, and whose character she had no reason to question. At one time she had almost resolved on applying to him, but the idea was checked by the awkwardness of the application, andat lengthwholly banished by the conviction that Mr. Darcy would never have hazarded such a proposal, if he had not been well assured of his cousin's corroboration.
達西竟毫不遲疑地把她眨下眼睛就可以看到他出現在她面前，風采翩翩，辭令優雅，但是，除了鄰里的贊賞之外，除了他用交際手腕在伙伴之間贏得的敬慕之外，她可想不起他有什么更具體的優點。她思考了好一會兒以后，又繼續讀信。 可是天哪！接下去就讀到他對達西小姐的企圖，這只要想一想昨天上午她跟費茨威廉上校的談話，不就是可以證實了嗎？信上最后要她把每一個細節都問問費茨威廉上校本人，問問他是否真有其事。以前她就曾經聽費茨威廉上校親自說起過，他對他表兄達西的一切事情都極其熟悉，同時她也沒有理由去懷疑費茨威廉的人格。她一度幾乎下定了決心要去問他，但是問起這件事不免又要有多少別扭，想到這里，她便把這個主意暫時擱了下來。后來她又想到，如果達西拿不準他表弟的話會和他自己完全一致，那他決不會冒冒失失提出這樣一個建議，于是她就干脆打消了這個主意。
