In pompous nothings on his side, and civil assents on that of his cousins, their time passed till they entered Meryton. The attention of the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him. Their eyes were immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officers, and nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed, or a really new muslin in a shop window, could recall them.
他一路廢話連篇，表妹們只得客客氣氣地隨聲附和，就這樣打發著時間，來到了麥里屯。幾位年紀小的表妹一到那里，就再也不去理會他了。她們的眼睛立刻對著街頭看來看去，看看有沒有軍官們走過，此外就只有商店櫥窗里的極漂亮的女帽，或者是最新式的花洋布，才能吸引她們。
But the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man, whom they had never seen before, of most gentlemanlike appearance, walking with an officer on the other side of the way. The officer was the very Mr. Denny, concerning whose return from London Lydia came to inquire, and he bowed as they passed.
不到一會兒工夫，這許多小姐都注意到一位年輕人身上去了。那人她們從來沒見過，一副道地的紳士氣派，正跟一個軍官在街道那邊散步。這位軍官就是丹尼先生，麗迪雅正要打聽他從倫敦回來了沒有。當她們打那兒走過的時候，他鞠了一個躬。
All were struck with the stranger's air, all wondered who he could be, and Kitty and Lydia, determined if possible to find out, led the way across the street, under pretence of wanting something in an opposite shop, and fortunately had just gained the pavement when the two gentlemen, turning back, had reached the same spot.
大家看到那個陌生人風度翩翩，都楞了一下，只是不知道這人是誰。吉蒂和麗迪雅決定想法子去打聽，便借口要到對面鋪子里去買點東西，帶頭走到街那邊去了。也正是事有湊巧，她們剛剛走到人行道上，那兩個男人也正轉過身來，走到那地方。
Mr. Denny addressed them directly, and entreated permission to introduce his friend, Mr. Wickham, who had returned with him the day before from town, and he was happy to say, had accepted a commission in their corps.
丹尼馬上招呼她們，并請求她們讓他把他的朋友韋翰先生介紹給她們。他說韋翰是前一天跟他一塊兒從城里回來的，而且說來很高興，韋翰已經被任命為他們團里軍官。
