"Perhaps you mean what I overheard between him and Mr. Robinson; did not I mention it to you? Mr. Robinson's asking him how he liked our Meryton assemblies, and whether he did not think there were a great many pretty women in the room, and which he thought the prettiest? and his answering immediately to the last question -- "Oh! the eldest Miss Bennet beyond a doubt, there cannot be two opinions on that point.""
“說不定你指的是我旁聽到他和魯賓遜先生的談話吧；我不是跟你說過了嗎？魯賓遜先生問他喜歡不喜歡我們麥里屯的跳舞會，問他是否覺得到場的女賓們中間有許多人很美，問他認為哪一個最美？他立刻回答了最后一個問題：“毫無問題是班納特家的大小姐最美。關于這一點，人們決不會有別的看法?！?/P>
"Upon my word! -- Well, that was very decided indeed -- that does seem as if -- but, however, it may all come to nothing, you know."
“一定的！說起來，那的確成了定論啦──看上去的確象是──不過，也許會全部落空呢，你知道。”
"My overhearings were more to the purpose than yours, Eliza," said Charlotte. "Mr. Darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend, is he? -- Poor Eliza! -- to be only just tolerable."
“我偷聽到的話比你聽到的要更有意思了，伊麗莎，”夏綠蒂說?！斑_西先生的話沒有他朋友的話中聽，可不是嗎？可憐的伊麗莎！他不過認為她還可以！”
"I beg you would not put it into Lizzy's head to be vexed by his ill-treatment; for he is such a disagreeable man that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him. Mrs. Long told me last night that he sat close to her for half an hour without once opening his lips."
“我請求你別叫麗萃想起了他這種無禮的舉動又生起氣來；他是那么討厭的一個人，被他看上了才叫倒霉呢。郎格太太告訴我說，昨兒晚上他坐在她身邊有半個鐘頭，可是始終不開口。”
"Are you quite sure, Ma'am? -- is not there a little mistake?" said Jane. -- "I certainly saw Mr. Darcy speaking to her."
“你的話靠得住嗎，媽媽？──一點兒沒說錯嗎？”吉英說?！拔仪迩宄吹竭_西先生跟她說話的?！?/P>
"Aye -- because she asked him at last how he liked Netherfield, and he could not help answering her; -- but she said he seemed very angry at being spoke to."
“嘿──那是后來她問起他喜歡不喜歡尼日斐花園，他才不得不已敷衍了她一下；可是據她說，他似乎非常生氣，好象怪她不該跟她說話似的?！?/P>
"Miss Bingley told me," said Jane, "that he never speaks much unless among his intimate acquaintance. With them he is remarkably agreeable."
“彬格萊小姐告訴我，”吉英說，“他從來不愛多說話，除非跟知已的朋友們談談。他對待知已朋友非常和藹可親?！?/P>
"I do not believe a word of it, my dear. If he had been so very agreeable, he would have talked to Mrs. Long. But I can guess how it was; every body says that he is ate up with pride, and I dare say he had heard somehow that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage, and had come to the ball in a hack chaise."
“我跟本不相信這種話，要是他果真和藹可親，就該跟郎格太太說話啦?？墒沁@里面的奧妙是可想而知的，大家都說他非常驕傲，他所以沒跟郎格太太說話，或許是因為聽到朗格太太連馬車也沒有一部，臨時雇了車子來參加跳舞會吧?！?/P>
"I do not mind his not talking to Mrs. Long," said Miss Lucas, "but I wish he had danced with Eliza."
“他沒跟郎格太太說話，我倒不計較，”盧卡斯小姐說，“我只怪他當時沒跟伊麗莎跳舞?！?/P>
