1.She is a most charming young lady indeed. Lady Catherine herself says that in point of true beauty, Miss De Bourgh is far superior to the handsomest of her sex; because there is that in her features which marks the young woman of distinguished birth. She is unfortunately of a sickly constitution, which has prevented her making that progress in many accomplishments which she could not otherwise have failed of; as I am informed by the lady who superintended her education, and who still resides with them. But she is perfectly amiable, and often condescends to drive by my humble abode in her little phaeton and ponies.

【句子翻譯】她真是個極可愛的姑娘。咖苔琳夫人自己也說過，講到真正的漂亮，德·包爾小姐要勝過天下最漂亮的女性；因為她眉清目秀，與眾不同，一看上去就知道她出身高貴。她本來可以多才多藝，只可惜她體質欠佳，沒有進修，否則她一定琴棋書畫樣樣通曉，這話是她女教師說給我聽的，那教師現在還跟她們母女住在一起。她的確是可愛透頂，常常不拘名份，乘著她那輛小馬車光臨寒舍。
