"Do you certainly leave Kent on Saturday?" said she.
“你真的星期六就要離開肯特嗎？”她問。
"Yes -- if Darcy does not put it off again. But I am at his disposal. He arranges the business just as he pleases."
“是的，只要達西不再拖延。不過我得聽他調遣。他辦起事來只是憑他自己高興。”
"And if not able to please himself in the arrangement, he has at least great pleasure in the power of choice. I do not know any body who seems more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy."
“即使不能順著他自己的意思去擺布，至少也要順著他自己意思去選擇一下。我從來沒有看見過哪一個人，象達西先生這樣喜歡當權作主，為所欲為?！?/p>
"He likes to have his own way very well," replied Colonel Fitzwilliam. "But so we all do. It is only that he has better means of having it than many others, because he is rich, and many others are poor. I speak feelingly. A younger son, you know, must be inured to self-denial and dependence."
“他太任性了，”費茨威廉上校回答道?！翱墒俏覀內既绱恕Ｖ徊贿^他比一般人有條件，可以那么做，因為他有錢，一般人窮。我是說的真心話。你知道，一個小兒子可就不得不克制自己，仰仗別人?！?/div>
"In my opinion, the younger son of an Earl can know very little of either. Now, seriously, what have you ever known of self-denial and dependence? When have you been prevented by want of money from going wherever you chose, or procuring any thing you had a fancy for?"
“在我看來，一個伯爵的小兒子，對這兩件事簡直就一點兒不懂。再說，我倒要問你一句正經話，你又懂得什么叫做克制自己和仰仗別人呢？我有沒有哪一次因為沒有錢，想去什么地方去不成，愛買一樣東西買不成？”
"These are home questions -- and perhaps I cannot say that I have experienced many hardships of that nature. But in matters of greater weight, I may suffer from the want of money. Younger sons cannot marry where they like."
“你問得好，或許我在這方面也是不知艱苦?？墒怯龅街卮髥栴}，我可能就會因為沒有錢而吃苦了。小兒子往往有了意中人而不能結婚?！?/div>
"Unless where they like women of fortune, which I think they very often do."
“除非是愛上了有錢的女人，我認為這種情形他們倒往往會碰到?！?/div>
"Our habits of expence make us too dependant, and there are not many in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to money."
“我們花錢花慣了，因此不得不依賴別人，象我這樣身份的人，結起婚來能夠不講錢，那可數不出幾個了?！?/p>
