"These are heavy misfortunes," replied Elizabeth. "But the wife of Mr. Darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily attached to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause to repine."
“這倒真是大大的不幸，”伊麗莎白說。“可是做了達西先生的太太必然會享受到莫大的幸福，因此，歸根結底，完全用不到懊喪。”
"Obstinate, headstrong girl! I am ashamed of you! Is this your gratitude for my attentions to you last spring? Is nothing due to me on that score? Let us sit down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used to submit to any person's whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment."
“好一個不識好歹的小丫頭！我都會你害臊！今年春天我待你那么殷勤，你就這樣報答我嗎？難道你也沒有一點兒感恩之心？讓我們坐下來詳談。你應該明白，班納特小姐，我既然上這兒來了，就非達到目的不可；誰也阻不住我。任何人玩什么花巧，我都不會屈服。我從來不肯讓我自己失望。”
"That will make your ladyship's situation at present more pitiable; but it will have no effect on me."
“那只有更加使你自己難堪，可是對我毫無影響。”
"I will not be interrupted. Hear me in silence. My daughter and my nephew are formed for each other. They are descended, on the maternal side, from the same noble line; and, on the father's, from respectable, honourable, and ancient -- though untitled -- families. Their fortune on both sides is splendid. They are destined for each other by the voice of every member of their respective houses; and what is to divide them? The upstart pretensions of a young woman without family, connections, or fortune. Is this to be endured! But it must not, shall not be. If you were sensible of your own good, you would not wish to quit the sphere in which you have been brought up."
“我說話不許人家插嘴！好好兒聽我說。我的女兒和我的姨侄是天造天設的一對。他們的母系都是高貴的出身，父系雖然沒有爵位，可也都是極有地位的名門世家。兩家都是豪富。兩家親戚都一致認為，他們倆系前生注定的姻緣；有誰能把他們拆散？你這樣一個小妮子，無論家世、親戚、財產，都談不上，難道光憑著你的癡心妄想，就可以把他們拆散嗎？這象什么話！這真是太豈有此理！假如你腦子明白點，為你自己的利益想一想，你就不會忘你自己的出身啦。”
"In marrying your nephew, I should not consider myself as quitting that sphere. He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman's daughter; so far we are equal."
“我決不會為了要跟你姨侄結婚，就忘了我自己的出身。你姨侄是個紳士，我是紳士的女兒，我們正是旗鼓相當。”
