Lady Catherine seemed resigned. "Mrs. Collins, you must send a servant with them. You know I always speak my mind, and I cannot bear the idea of two young women travelling post by themselves. It is highly improper. You must contrive to send somebody. I have the greatest dislike in the world to that sort of thing. Young women should always be properly guarded and attended, according to their situation in life.
咖苔琳夫人不便強留，便說道：“柯林斯太太，你得打發一個傭人送她們。我說話一向心直口快，我不放心讓兩位年輕的小姐趕遠路。這太不象話了，我最看不慣的就是這種事，你千萬得派一個人送送她們。對于年輕的小姐們，我們總得照著她們的身份好好是照顧她們，待候她們。
When my niece Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer, I made a point of her having two men servants go with her. Miss Darcy, the daughter of Mr. Darcy of Pemberley, and Lady Anne, could not have appeared with propriety in a different manner. I am excessively attentive to all those things.
我的姨侄女兒喬治安娜去年夏天上拉姆斯蓋特去的時候，我非得要她有兩個男傭人伴送不可。要知道，她身為彭伯里的達西先生和安妮夫人的千金小姐，不那樣便難免有失體統。我對于這一類的事特別留意。
You must send John with the young ladies, Mrs. Collins. I am glad it occurred to me to mention it; for it would really be discreditable to you to let them go alone."
你得打發約翰送送這兩位小姐才好，柯林斯太太。幸虧我發覺了這件事，及時指出，否則讓她們孤零零地自個兒走，把你的面子也丟光了。”
"My uncle is to send a servant for us."
“我舅舅會打發人來接我們的。”
