"Have you any idea, Lizzy, who this gentleman is? But now it comes out."
“麗萃，你想得到這位貴人是誰嗎？下面就要提到了。
"My motive for cautioning you is as follows. We have reason to imagine that his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, does not look on the match with a friendly eye."
‘不佞之所以不揣冒昧，戇直陳詞，實因慮及貴人之姨母咖苔琳·德包爾夫人對此次聯姻之事，萬難贊同故耳。’
"Mr. Darcy, you see, is the man! Now, Lizzy, I think I have surprised you. Could he, or the Lucases, have pitched on any man within the circle of our acquaintance, whose name would have given the lie more effectually to what they related? Mr. Darcy, who never looks at any woman but to see a blemish, and who probably never looked at you in his life! It is admirable!"
“你明白了吧，這個人就是達西先生！喂麗萃，我已經叫你感到詫異了吧。無論是柯林斯也好，是盧卡斯一家人也好，他們偏偏在我們的熟人中挑出這么一個人來撒謊，這不是太容易給人家揭穿了嗎？達西先生見到女人就覺得晦氣，也許他看都沒有看過你一眼呢！我真佩服他們！
Elizabeth tried to join in her father's pleasantry, but could only force one most reluctant smile. Never had his wit been directed in a manner so little agreeable to her.
伊麗莎白盡量湊著父親打趣，可是她的笑容顯得極其勉強。父親的俏皮幽默，從來沒有象今天這樣不討她喜歡。
"Are you not diverted?"
“你不覺得滑稽嗎？”
"Oh! yes. Pray read on."
“啊，當然請你再讀下去。”
"After mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she felt on the occasion; when it become apparent, that on the score of some family objections on the part of my cousin, she would never give her consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match. I thought it my duty to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin, that she and her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about, and not run hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned." "Mr. Collins moreover adds," "I am truly rejoiced that my cousin Lydia's sad business has been so well hushed up, and am only concerned that their living together before the marriage took place should be so generally known.
“‘昨夜不佞曾與夫人提及此次聯姻可能成為事實，深蒙夫人本其平日推愛之忱，以其隱衷見告。彼謂此事千萬不能贊同，蓋以令嬡門戶低微，缺陷太多，若竟而與之聯姻實在有失體統。故不佞自覺責無旁貸，應將此事及早奉告表妹，冀表妹及其所愛幕之貴人皆能深明大體，以免肆無忌憚，私訂終身！’────柯林斯先生還說：‘麗迪雅表妹之不貞事件得心圓滿解決，殊為欣慰。唯不佞每念及其婚前即與人同居，穢聞遠揚，仍不免有所痛心。
