"Do you prefer reading to cards?" said he; "that is rather singular."
“你寧可看書，不要玩牌嗎？”他說。“這真是少有。”
"Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great reader and has no pleasure in anything else."
彬格萊小姐說：“伊麗莎·班納特小姐瞧不起玩牌，她是個(gè)了不起的讀書人，對(duì)別的事都不感到樂趣。”
"I deserve neither such praise nor such censure," cried Elizabeth; "I am not a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things."
伊麗莎白嚷道：“這樣的夸獎(jiǎng)我不敢當(dāng)，這樣的責(zé)備我也不敢當(dāng)，我并不是什么了不起的讀書人，很多東西我都感到樂趣。”
"In nursing your sister I am sure you have pleasure," said Bingley; "and I hope it will soon be increased by seeing her quite well."
彬格萊先生說：“我斷定樂意照料你自己的姐姐，但愿她快些復(fù)元，那你就會(huì)更加快活了。”
Elizabeth thanked him from her heart, and then walked towards a table where a few books were lying. He immediately offered to fetch her others; all that his library afforded.
伊麗莎白從心底里感激他，然后走到一張放了幾本書的桌子跟前。他立刻要另外拿些書來給她──把他書房里所有的書都拿來。
"And I wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own credit; but I am an idle fellow, and though I have not many, I have more than I ever look into." Elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those in the room.
“要是我的藏書多一些就好啦，無論是為你的益處著想，為我自己的面子著想；可是我是個(gè)懶鬼，藏書不多，讀過的就更少了。”伊麗莎白跟他說，房間里那幾本書盡夠她看了。
"I am astonished," said Miss Bingley, "that my father should have left so small a collection of books. -- What a delightful library you have at Pemberley, Mr. Darcy!"
彬格萊小姐說：“我很奇怪，爸爸怎么只遣留下來了這么幾本書。──達(dá)西先生，你在彭伯里的那個(gè)藏書室真是好極了！”
"It ought to be good," he replied, "it has been the work of many generations."
達(dá)西說：“那有什么稀奇。那是好幾代的成績(jī)啊。”
"And then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying books."
“你自己又添置了不少書，只看見你老是在買書。”
"I cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as these,"
“我有現(xiàn)在這樣的日子過，自然不好意思疏忽家里的藏書室。”
"Neglect! I am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of that noble place. Charles, when you build your house, I wish it may be half as delightful as Pemberley."
“疏忽！我相信凡是能為你那個(gè)高貴的地方嗇主觀的東西，你一件也沒疏忽過。──查爾斯，以后你自己建筑住宅的時(shí)候，我只希望有彭伯里一半那么美麗就好了。”
"I wish it may."
“但愿如此。”
