"That is exactly what I should have supposed of you," said Elizabeth.
“我猜想得一點兒不錯，”伊麗莎白說。
"You begin to comprehend me, do you?" cried he, turning towards her.
彬格萊馬上轉過身去對她大聲說道：“你開始了解我啦，是嗎？”
"Oh! yes -- I understand you perfectly."
“噢，是呀──我完全了解你?！?/P>
"I wish I might take this for a compliment; but to be so easily seen through I am afraid is pitiful."
“但愿你這句話是恭維我，不過，這么容易被人看透，那恐怕也是件可憐的事吧?！?/P>
"That is as it happens. It does not necessarily follow that a deep, intricate character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours."
“那得看情況說話。一個深沉復雜的人，未必比你這樣的人更難叫人捉摸。”
"Lizzy," cried her mother, "remember where you are, and do not run on in the wild manner that you are suffered to do at home."
她有母親連忙嚷道：“麗萃，別忘了你在作客，家里讓你撒野慣了，你可不能到人家這里來胡鬧?！?/P>
"I did not know before," continued Bingley immediately, "that you were a studier of character. It must be an amusing study."
“我以前倒不知道你是個研究人的性格的專家?！北蚋袢R馬上接下去說，“那一定是一門很有趣的學問吧?！?/P>
"Yes; but intricate characters are the most amusing. They have at least that advantage."
“不錯；可是最有趣味的還是研究復雜的性格。至少這樣的性格有研究的價值?！?/P>
"The country," said Darcy, "can in general supply but few subjects for such a study. In a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and unvarying society."
達西說：“一般說來，鄉下人可以作為這種研究對象的就很少。因為在鄉下，你四周圍的人都是非常不開通、非常單調。”
"But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them for ever."
“可是人們本身的變動很多，他們身上永遠有新的東西值得你去注意。”
"Yes, indeed," cried Mrs. Bennet, offended by his manner of mentioning a country neighbourhood. "I assure you there is quite as much of that going on in the country as in town."
班納特太太聽到剛剛達西以那樣一種口氣提到鄉下，不禁頗為生氣，便連忙嚷道：“這才說得對呀，告訴你吧，鄉下可供研究的對象并不比城里少。”
