"Have you any idea, Lizzy, who this gentleman is? But now it comes out."
“麗萃，你想得到這位貴人是誰嗎？下面就要提到了。

"My motive for cautioning you is as follows. We have reason to imagine that his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, does not look on the match with a friendly eye."
‘不佞之所以不揣冒昧，戇直陳詞，實因慮及貴人之姨母咖苔琳·德包爾夫人對此次聯(lián)姻之事，萬難贊同故耳?！?/div>

"Mr. Darcy, you see, is the man! Now, Lizzy, I think I have surprised you. Could he, or the Lucases, have pitched on any man within the circle of our acquaintance, whose name would have given the lie more effectually to what they related? Mr. Darcy, who never looks at any woman but to see a blemish, and who probably never looked at you in his life! It is admirable!"
“你明白了吧，這個人就是達西先生！喂麗萃，我已經(jīng)叫你感到詫異了吧。無論是柯林斯也好，是盧卡斯一家人也好，他們偏偏在我們的熟人中挑出這么一個人來撒謊，這不是太容易給人家揭穿了嗎？達西先生見到女人就覺得晦氣，也許他看都沒有看過你一眼呢！我真佩服他們！
?

Elizabeth tried to join in her father's pleasantry, but could only force one most reluctant smile. Never had his wit been directed in a manner so little agreeable to her.
伊麗莎白盡量湊著父親打趣，可是她的笑容顯得極其勉強。父親的俏皮幽默，從來沒有象今天這樣不討她喜歡。

"Are you not diverted?"
“你不覺得滑稽嗎？”

"Oh! yes. Pray read on."
“啊，當(dāng)然請你再讀下去?！?/div>

"After mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she felt on the occasion; when it become apparent, that on the score of some family objections on the part of my cousin, she would never give her consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match. I thought it my duty to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin, that she and her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about, and not run hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned." "Mr. Collins moreover adds," "I am truly rejoiced that my cousin Lydia's sad business has been so well hushed up, and am only concerned that their living together before the marriage took place should be so generally known. I must not, however, neglect the duties of my station, or refrain from declaring my amazement at hearing that you received the young couple into your house as soon as they were married. It was an encouragement of vice; and had I been the rector of Longbourn, I should very strenuously have opposed it. You ought certainly to forgive them as a Christian, but never to admit them in your sight, or allow their names to be mentioned in your hearing." "That is his notion of Christian forgiveness! The rest of his letter is only about his dear Charlotte's situation, and his expectation of a young olive-branch. But, Lizzy, you look as if you did not enjoy it. You are not going to be Missish, I hope, and pretend to be affronted at an idle report. For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?"
“‘昨夜不佞曾與夫人提及此次聯(lián)姻可能成為事實，深蒙夫人本其平日推愛之忱，以其隱衷見告。彼謂此事千萬不能贊同，蓋以令嬡門戶低微，缺陷太多，若竟而與之聯(lián)姻實在有失體統(tǒng)。故不佞自覺責(zé)無旁貸，應(yīng)將此事及早奉告表妹，冀表妹及其所愛幕之貴人皆能深明大體，以免肆無忌憚，私訂終身！’────柯林斯先生還說：‘麗迪雅表妹之不貞事件得心圓滿解決，殊為欣慰。唯不佞每念及其婚前即與人同居，穢聞遠揚，仍不免有所痛心。不佞尤不能已于言者，厥為彼等一經(jīng)確定夫婦名份，先生即迎之入尊府，誠令人不勝駭異，蓋先生此舉實系助長傷風(fēng)敗俗之惡習(xí)耳。設(shè)以不佞為浪搏恩牧師，必然堅決反對。先生身為基督教徒，固當(dāng)寬恕為懷，然則以先生之本份而言，唯有拒見其人，拒聞其名耳。’這就是他所謂的基督寬恕精神！下面寫的都是關(guān)于他親愛的夏綠蒂的一些情形，他們快要生小孩了。怎么，麗萃，你好象不樂意聽似的。我想，你不見得也有那種小姐腔，假裝正經(jīng)，聽到這種廢話就要生氣吧。人生在世，要不是讓人家開開玩笑，回頭來又取笑別人，那還有什么意思？”

"Oh!" cried Elizabeth, "I am excessively diverted. But it is so strange!"
伊麗莎白大聲叫道：“噢，我聽得非常有趣。不過這事情實在古怪！”

"Yes -- that is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man it would have been nothing; but his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd! Much as I abominate writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins's correspondence for any consideration. Nay, when I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and hypocrisy of my son-in-law. And pray, Lizzy, what said Lady Catherine about this report? Did she call to refuse her consent?"
“的確古怪──有趣的也正是這一點。如果他們講的是另外一個人，那倒還說得過去。最可笑的是，那位貴人完全沒有把你放在眼里，你對他又是厭惡透頂！我平常雖然最討厭寫信，可是我無論如何也不愿和柯林斯斷絕書信往來。唔，我每次讀到他的信，總覺得他比韋翰還要討我喜歡。我那位女婿雖然又冒失又虛偽，還是及不上他。請問你，麗萃，咖苔琳夫人對這事是怎么說的？她是不是特地趕來表示反對？”

To this question his daughter replied only with a laugh; and as it had been asked without the least suspicion, she was not distressed by his repeating it. Elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her feelings appear what they were not. It was necessary to laugh, when she would rather have cried. Her father had most cruelly mortified her, by what he said of Mr. Darcy's indifference, and she could do nothing but wonder at such a want of penetration, or fear that perhaps, instead of his seeing too little, she might have fancied too much.
女兒聽到父親問這句話，只是笑了一笑。其實父親這一問完全沒有一點猜疑的意思，因此他問了又問，也沒有使她感覺到痛苦。伊麗莎白從來沒有象今天這樣為難：心里想的是一套，表面上卻要裝出另一套。她真想哭，可是又不得不強顏為笑。父親說達西先生沒有把她放在眼里，這句話未免太使她傷心。她只有怪她父親為什么這樣糊涂，或者說，她現(xiàn)在心里又添了一重顧慮：這件事也許倒不能怪父親看見得太少，而應(yīng)該怪她自己幻想得太多呢。
