She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. -- Of neither Darcy nor Wickham could she think, without feeling that she had been blind, partial, prejudiced, absurd.
她越想越慚愧得無地自容。不論想到達西也好，想到韋翰也好，她總是覺得自己以往未免太盲目，太偏心，對人存了偏見，而且不近情理。
"How despicably have I acted!" she cried. -- "I, who have prided myself on my discernment! -- I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified my vanity, in useless or blameable distrust. -- How humiliating is this discovery! -- Yet, how just a humiliation! -- Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly. -- Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment, I never knew myself."
她不禁大聲叫道：“我做得多么卑鄙！我一向自負有知人之明！我一向自以為有本領！一向看不起姐姐那種寬大的胸襟！為了滿足我自己的虛榮心，我待人老是不著邊際地猜忌多端，而且還要做得使我自己無懈可擊。這是我多么可恥的地方！可是，這種恥辱又是多么活該！即使我真的愛上了人家，也不會盲目到這樣該死的地步。然而我的愚蠢，并不是在戀愛方面，而是有虛榮心方面。開頭剛剛認識他們兩位的時候，一個喜歡我，我很高興，一個怠慢我，我就生氣，因此造成了我的偏見和無知，遇到與他們有關的事情，我就不能明辨是非。我到現在才算不了自知之明。”
From herself to Jane -- from Jane to Bingley, her thoughts were in a line which soon brought to her recollection that Mr. Darcy's explanation there had appeared very insufficient; and she read it again. Widely different was the effect of a second perusal. -- How could she deny that credit to his assertions, in one instance, which she had been obliged to give in the other? -- He declared himself to have been totally unsuspicious of her sister's attachment; -- and she could not help remembering what Charlotte's opinion had always been. -- Neither could she deny the justice of his description of Jane. -- She felt that Jane's feelings, though fervent, were little displayed, and that there was a constant complacency in her air and manner not often united with great sensibility.
她從自己身上想到吉英身上，又從吉英身上想到彬格萊身上，她的思想聯成了一條直線，使她立刻想起了達西先生對這件事的解釋非常不夠；于是她又把他的信讀了一遍。第二遍讀起來效果就大不相同了。她既然在一件事情上不得不信任他，在另一件事上又怎能不信任呢？他說他完全沒想到她姐姐對彬格萊先生有意思，于是她不禁想起了從前夏綠蒂一貫的看法。她也不能否認他把吉英形容得很恰當。她覺得吉英雖然愛心熾烈，可是表面上卻不露形跡，她平常那種安然自得的神氣，實在叫人看不出她的多愁善感。
