評(píng)論

To Mr. Darcy it was welcome intelligence -- Elizabeth had been at Netherfield long enough. She attracted him more than he liked -- and Miss Bingley was uncivil to her, and more teazing than usual to himself. He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration should now escape him, nothing that could elevate her with the hope of influencing his felicity; sensible that if such an idea had been suggested, his behaviour during the last day must have material weight in confirming or crushing it.
不過達(dá)西卻覺得這是個(gè)好消息，他認(rèn)為伊麗莎白在尼日斐花園待得夠久了。他沒想到這次會(huì)給她弄得這般地心醉，加上彬格萊小姐一方面對(duì)她沒禮貌，另方面又越發(fā)拿他自己開玩笑。他靈機(jī)一動(dòng)，決定叫自己特別當(dāng)心些，目前決不要流露出對(duì)她有什么愛慕的意思───一點(diǎn)兒形跡也不要流露出來，免得她存非份之想，就此要操縱我達(dá)西的終身幸福。他感覺到，假如她存了那種心，那么一定是他昨天對(duì)待她的態(tài)度起了舉足輕重的作用──叫她不是對(duì)他更有好感，便是把他完全厭棄。
Steady to his purpose, he scarcely spoke ten words to her through the whole of Saturday, and though they were at one time left by themselves for half an hour, he adhered most conscientiously to his book, and would not even look at her.
他這樣拿定了主意，于是星期六一整天簡(jiǎn)直沒有跟她說上十句話。雖然他那天曾經(jīng)有一次跟她單獨(dú)在一起待了半小時(shí)之久，他卻正大光明地用心看書，看也沒看她一眼。
On Sunday, after morning service, the separation, so agreeable to almost all, took place. Miss Bingley's civility to Elizabeth increased at last very rapidly, as well as her affection for Jane; and when they parted, after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her to see her either at Longbourn or Netherfield, and embracing her most tenderly, she even shook hands with the former. -- Elizabeth took leave of the whole party in the liveliest spirits.
星期日做過晨禱以后，班家兩姐妹立即告辭，主人家?guī)缀跞巳藰芬狻１蚋袢R小姐對(duì)伊麗莎白一下子變得有禮貌起來了，對(duì)吉英也一下子變得親熱了。分手的時(shí)候，她先跟吉英說，非常盼望以后有機(jī)會(huì)在浪博恩或者在尼日斐花園跟她重逢，接著又十分親切地?fù)肀Я怂环踔吝€跟伊麗莎白握了握手。伊麗莎白高高興興地告別了大家。
They were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother. Mrs. Bennet wondered at their coming, and thought them very wrong to give so much trouble, and was sure Jane would have caught cold again. -- But their father, though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure, was really glad to see them; he had felt their importance in the family circle. The evening conversation, when they were all assembled, had lost much of its animation, and almost all its sense, by the absence of Jane and Elizabeth.
到家以后，母親并不怎么熱誠(chéng)地歡迎她們。班納特太太奇怪她們倆怎么竟會(huì)提前回來，非常埋怨她們給家里招來那么多麻煩，說是吉英十拿九穩(wěn)地又要傷風(fēng)了。倒是她們的父親，看到兩個(gè)女兒回家來了，嘴上雖然沒有說什么歡天喜地的話，心里確實(shí)非常高興。他早就體會(huì)到，這兩個(gè)女兒在家里的地位多么重要。晚上一家人聚在一起聊天的時(shí)候，要是吉英和伊麗莎白不在場(chǎng)，就沒有勁，甚至毫無意義。
They found Mary, as usual, deep in the study of thorough bass and human nature; and had some new extracts to admire, and some new observations of thread-bare morality to listen to. Catherine and Lydia had information for them of a different sort. Much had been done and much had been said in the regiment since the preceding Wednesday; several of the officers had dined lately with their uncle, a private had been flogged, and it had actually been hinted that Colonel Forster was going to be married.
她們發(fā)覺曼麗還象以往一樣，在埋頭研究和聲學(xué)以及人性的問題，她拿出了一些新的札記給她們欣賞，又發(fā)表一些對(duì)舊道德的新見解給她們聽。咖苔琳和麗迪雅也告訴了她們一些新聞，可是性質(zhì)完全不同。據(jù)她們說，民兵團(tuán)自從上星期三以來又出了好多事，添了好多傳說；有幾個(gè)軍官新近跟她們的姨爹吃過飯；一個(gè)士兵挨了鞭打，又聽說弗斯脫上校的確快結(jié)婚了。
