Elizabeth lifted up her eyes in amazement, but was too much oppressed to make any reply. Mary, however, continued to console herself with such kind of moral extractions from the evil before them.
伊麗莎白抬起眼睛來，神情很是詫異；她心里實在太郁悶，所以一句話也答不上來?？墒锹愡€在往下說，她要從這件不幸的事例中闡明道德的精義，以便聊以自慰。
In the afternoon, the two elder Miss Bennets were able to be for half-an-hour by themselves; and Elizabeth instantly availed herself of the opportunity of making any inquiries, which Jane was equally eager to satisfy. After joining in general lamentations over the dreadful sequel of this event, which Elizabeth considered as all but certain, and Miss Bennet could not assert to be wholly impossible, the former continued the subject, by saying, "But tell me all and everything about it which I have not already heard. Give me further particulars. What did Colonel Forster say? Had they no apprehension of anything before the elopement took place? They must have seen them together for ever. "
到了下午，兩位年紀最大的小姐有了半個鐘頭的時間可以在一起談談心。伊麗莎白不肯錯過機會，連忙向吉英問東問西，吉英也連忙一一加以回答，好讓妹妹放心。兩姐妹先把這件事的不幸的后果共同嘆息了一番。伊麗莎白認為一定會發生不幸的后果，吉英也認為難免。于是伊麗莎白繼續說道：“凡是我不知道的情節，請你全部說給我聽。請你談得再詳細一些。弗斯脫上校怎么說的？他們倆私奔之前，難道看不出一點形跡可疑的地方嗎？照理應該常常看到他們兩人在一起呀。”
"Colonel Forster did own that he had often suspected some partiality, especially on Lydia's side, but nothing to give him any alarm. I am so grieved for him! His behaviour was attentive and kind to the utmost. He WAS coming to us, in order to assure us of his concern, before he had any idea of their not being gone to Scotland: when that apprehension first got abroad, it hastened his journey. "
“弗斯脫上校說，他也曾懷疑過他們倆有情感，特別是懷疑麗迪雅，可是他并沒有看出什么形跡，因此沒有及時留意。我真為他難受。他為人極其殷勤善良。遠在他想到他們兩人并沒有到蘇格蘭去的時候，他就打算上我們這兒來慰問我們。等到人心惶惶的時候，他連忙便趕來了?！?/p>
"And was Denny convinced that Wickham would not marry? Did he know of their intending to go off? Had Colonel Forster seen Denny himself?"
“丹尼認為韋翰不會跟她結婚嗎？他是否知道他們存心私奔？弗斯脫上校有沒有見到丹尼本人？”
"Yes; but, when questioned by HIM, Denny denied knowing anything of their plans, and would not give his real opinion about it. He did not repeat his persuasion of their not marrying--and from THAT, I am inclined to hope, he might have been misunderstood before. "
“見到的，不過他回到丹尼的時候，丹尼絕口否認，說是根本不知道他們私奔的打算，也不肯說出他自己對這件事究竟怎樣看法。丹尼以后便沒有再提起他們倆不會結婚之類的話。照這樣看來，但愿上一次是我聽錯了他的話?！?/div>
"And till Colonel Forster came himself, not one of you entertained a doubt, I suppose, of their being really married?"
“我想弗斯脫上校沒有到這兒以前，你們誰都沒有懷疑到他們不會正式結婚吧？”
