"It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley."
“這是慢慢兒發展起來的，我也說不出從什么時候開始，不過我覺得，應該從看到彭伯里他那美麗的花園算起。”
Another intreaty that she would be serious, however, produced the desired effect; and she soon satisfied Jane by her solemn assurances of attachment. When convinced on that article, Miss Bennet had nothing farther to wish.
姐姐又叫她嚴肅些，這一次總算產生了效果；她立刻依了吉英的意見，鄭重其事地把自己愛他的經過講給吉英聽。班納特小姐弄明白了這一點以后，便萬事放心了。
"Now I am quite happy," said she, "for you will be as happy as myself. I always had a value for him. Were it for nothing but his love of you, I must always have esteemed him; but now, as Bingley's friend and your husband, there can be only Bingley and yourself more dear to me. But Lizzy, you have been very sly, very reserved with me. How little did you tell me of what passed at Pemberley and Lambton! I owe all that I know of it to another, not to you."
她說：“我現在真是太幸福了，因為你也會同我一樣幸福。我一向很器重他。不說別的，光是為了他愛你，我也就要永遠敬重他了；他既是彬格萊的朋友，現在又成了你的丈夫，那么除了彬格萊和你以外，我最喜歡的當然就是他啦。可是麗萃，你太狡猾了，平常連一點口風也不向我吐露。彭伯里的事和藍白屯的事從來沒有說給我聽過！我所知道的一些情形，都是別人說給我聽的，不是你自己說的。”
Elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy. She had been unwilling to mention Bingley; and the unsettled state of her own feelings had made her equally avoid the name of his friend. But now she would no longer conceal from her his share in Lydia's marriage. All was acknowledged, and half the night spent in conversation.
伊麗莎白只得把保守秘密的原因告訴了她。原來她以前不愿意提起彬格萊，加上她又心緒不寧，所以也不講起達西，可是現在，她大可不必再把達西為麗迪雅婚姻奔忙的那段情節，瞞住吉英了。她把一切事都和盤托出，姐妹倆一直談到半夜。
"Good gracious!" cried Mrs. Bennet, as she stood at a window the next morning, "if that disagreeable Mr. Darcy is not coming here again with our dear Bingley! What can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always coming here? I had no notion but he would go a-shooting, or something or other, and not disturb us with his company. What shall we do with him? Lizzy, you must walk out with him again, that he may not be in Bingley's way."
第二天早上，班納特太太站在窗口叫道：“天哪！那位討厭的達西先生又跟著我們的彬格萊一塊兒上這兒來了！他為什么那樣不知趣，老是要上這兒來？我但愿他去打鳥，或者隨便去干點什么，可別來吵我們。叫我們拿他怎么辦？麗萃，你又得同他出去散散步才好，不要讓他在這里麻煩彬格萊。”
Elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal; yet was really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an epithet.
母親想出這個辦法來，正是伊麗莎白求之不得的，她禁不住要笑出來，可是聽到母親老是說他討厭，她亦不免有些氣惱。
