I can much more easily believe Mr. Bingley's being imposed on, than that Mr. Wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me last night; names, facts, every thing mentioned without ceremony. If it be not so, let Mr. Darcy contradict it. Besides, there was truth in his looks.
“我還是認為彬格萊先生受了他的蒙蔽，并不認為韋翰先生昨兒晚上跟我說和話是捏造的。他把一個個的人名，一樁樁的事實，都說得很有根有據，毫無虛偽做作。倘若事實并非如此，那么讓達西先生自己來辨白吧。你只要看看韋翰那副神氣，就知道他沒有說假話。”
It is difficult indeed it is distressing. One does not know what to think.
“這的確叫人很難說───也叫人難受。叫人不知道怎么想法才好。”
I beg your pardon; one knows exactly what to think.
“說句你不見怪的話，人家完全知道該怎么樣想法。”
But Jane could think with certainty on only one point, that Mr. Bingley, if he had been imposed on, would have much to suffer when the affair became public.
吉英只有一樁事情是猜得準的，那就是說，要是彬格萊先生果真受了蒙蔽，那么，一旦真想大白，他一定會萬分痛心。
The two young ladies were summoned from the shrubbery where this conversation passed, by the arrival of some of the very persons of whom they had been speaking; Mr. Bingley and his sisters came to give their personal invitation for the long expected ball at Netherfield, which was fixed for the following Tuesday. The two ladies were delighted to see their dear friend again, called it an age since they had met, and repeatedly asked what she had been doing with herself since their separation. To the rest of the family they paid little attention; avoiding Mrs. Bennet as much as possible, saying not much to Elizabeth, and nothing at all to the others. They were soon gone again, rising from their seats with an activity which took their brother by surprise, and hurrying off as if eager to escape from Mrs. Bennet's civilities.
兩位年輕的小姐正在矮樹林里談得起勁，忽然家里派人來叫她們回去，因為有客人上門來──事情真湊巧，來的正是她們所談到的那幾位。原來尼日斐花園下星期二要舉行一次盼望了好久的舞會，彬格萊先生跟他的姐妹們特地親自前來邀請她們參加。兩位娘兒們和自己要好的朋友重逢，真是非常高興。她們說，自從分別以來，恍若隔世，又一再地問起吉英別來做些什么。她們對班納特府上其余的人簡直不理不睬。她們盡量避免班納特太太的糾纏，又很少跟伊麗莎白談，至于對別的人，那就根本一句話也不說了。她們一會兒告辭了，而且那兩個娘兒們出于她們的兄弟彬格萊先生的意料之外，一骨碌從座位上站了起來，拔腿就走，好象急于要避開班納特太太那些糾纏不清的繁文縟節似的。
