They were interrupted by Miss Bennet, who came to fetch her mother's tea.
班納特小姐送茶進來給她母親，打斷了他們的談話。
"This is a parade," cried he, "which does one good; it gives such an elegance to misfortune! Another day I will do the same; I will sit in my library, in my night cap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as I can, -- or, perhaps, I may defer it till Kitty runs away."
班納特先生大聲叫道：“這真所謂享福，舒服極了；居然倒霉也不忘風雅！哪一天我也要來學你的樣子，坐在書房里，頭戴睡帽，身穿寢衣，盡量找人麻煩；要不就等到吉蒂私奔了以后再說。”
"I am not going to run away, Papa," said Kitty, fretfully; "if I should ever go to Brighton, I would behave better than Lydia."
吉蒂氣惱地說：“我不會私奔的，爸爸，要是我上白利屯去，我一定比麗迪雅規矩。”
"You go to Brighton! -- I would not trust you so near it as East-Bourne, for fifty pounds! No, Kitty, I have at last learnt to be cautious, and you will feel the effects of it. No officer is ever to enter my house again, nor even to pass through the village. Balls will be absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters. And you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner."
“你上白利屯去！你即使要到東浪搏恩那么近的地方去，叫我跟人家打五十鎊的賭，我也不敢！不吉蒂，我至少已經學會了小心，我一定要讓你看看我的厲害。今后隨便哪個軍官都不許上我的門，甚至不許從我們村里經過。絕對不許你們去參加跳舞會，除非你們姐妹之間自己跳跳；也不許你走出家門一步，除非你在家里每天至少有十分鐘規規矩矩，象個人樣。”
Kitty, who took all these threats in a serious light, began to cry.
吉蒂把這些威嚇的話看得很認真，不由得哭了起來。
"Well, well," said he, "do not make yourself unhappy. If you are a good girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review at the end of them."
班納特先生連忙說道：“得啦，得啦，別傷心吧。假使你從今天起，能做上十年好姑娘，那么等到十年滿期的時候，我一定帶你去看閱兵典禮。”
