She paused, and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse. He even looked at her with a smile of affected incredulity.
她說到這里，只見他完全沒有一點兒悔恨的意思，真使她氣得非同小可。他甚至還假裝出一副不相信的神氣在微笑。
"Can you deny that you have done it?" she repeated.
“你能否認你這樣做過嗎？”她又問了一遍。
With assumed tranquillity he then replied, "I have no wish of denying that I did every thing in my power to separate my friend from your sister, or that I rejoice in my success. Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself."
他故作鎮靜地回答道：“我不想否認。我的確用心了一切辦法，拆散了我朋友和你姐姐的一段姻緣；我也不否認，我對自己那一次的成績覺得很得意。我對他總算比對我自己多盡了一份力。”
Elizabethdisdained the appearance of noticing this civil reflection, but its meaning did not escape, nor was it likely to conciliate, her.
伊麗莎白聽了他這篇文雅的調整詞令，表面上并不愿意顯出很注意的樣子。這番話的用意她當然明白，可是再也平息不了她的氣憤。
"But it is not merely this affair," she continued, "on which my dislike is founded. Long before it had taken place, my opinion of you was decided. Your character was unfolded in the recital which I received many months ago from Mr. Wickham. On this subject, what can you have to say? In what imaginary act of friendship can you here defend yourself? or under what misrepresentation, can you here impose upon others?"
“不過，我還不止在這一件事情上面厭惡你，”她繼續說道，“我很早就厭惡你，對你有了成見。幾個月以前聽了韋翰先生說的那些話，我就明白了你的品格。這件事你還有什么可說的？看你再怎樣來替你自己辯護，把這件事也異想天開地說是為了維護朋友？你又將怎么樣來顛倒是非，欺世盜名？”
