英文名著精选阅读：《傲慢与偏见》第五章 第2节
"Perhaps you mean what Ioverheardbetween him and Mr. Robinson; did not I mention it to you? Mr. Robinson's asking him how he liked our Meryton assemblies, and whether he did not think there were a great many pretty women in the room, and which he thought the prettiest? and his answeringimmediatelyto the last question -- "Oh! the eldest Miss Bennet beyond a doubt, there cannot be two opinions on that point.""
“说不定你指的是我旁听到他和鲁宾逊先生的谈话吧;我不是跟你说过了吗?鲁宾逊先生问他喜欢不喜欢我们麦里屯的跳舞会，问他是否觉得到场的女宾们中间有许多人很美，问他认为哪一个最美?他立刻回答了最后一个问题：“毫无问题是班纳特家的大小姐最美。关于这一点，人们决不会有别的看法。
"Upon my word! -- Well, that was very decided indeed -- that does seem as if -- but, however, it may all come to nothing, you know."
“一定的!说起来，那的确成了定论啦──看上去的确象是──不过，也许会全部落空呢，你知道。
"My overhearings were more to the purpose than yours, Eliza," said Charlotte. "Mr. Darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend, is he? -- Poor Eliza! -- to be only just tolerable."
“我偷听到的话比你听到的要更有意思了，伊丽莎，夏绿蒂说。“达西先生的话没有他朋友的话中听，可不是吗?可怜的伊丽莎!他不过认为她还可以!
"I beg you would not put it into Lizzy's head to be vexed by hisill-treatment; for he is such a disagreeable man that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him. Mrs. Long told me last night that he sat close to her for half an hour without once opening his lips."
“我请求你别叫丽萃想起了他这种无礼的举动又生起气来;他是那么讨厌的一个人，被他看上了才叫倒霉呢。郎格太太告诉我说，昨儿晚上他坐在她身边有半个钟头，可是始终不开口。
"Are you quite sure, Ma'am? -- is not there a little mistake?" said Jane. -- "I certainly saw Mr. Darcy speaking to her."
“你的话靠得住吗，妈妈?──一点儿没说错吗?吉英说。“我清清楚楚看到达西先生跟她说话的。
"Aye -- because she asked him at last how he liked Netherfield, and he could not help answering her; -- but she said he seemed very angry at being spoke to."
“嘿──那是后来她问起他喜欢不喜欢尼日斐花园，他才不得不已敷衍了她一下;可是据她说，他似乎非常生气，好象怪她不该跟她说话似的。
"Miss Bingley told me," said Jane, "that he never speaks much unless among his intimate acquaintance. With them he isremarkablyagreeable."
“彬格莱小姐告诉我，吉英说，“他从来不爱多说话，除非跟知已的朋友们谈谈。他对待知已朋友非常和蔼可亲。
"I do not believe a word of it, my dear. If he had been so very agreeable, he would have talked to Mrs. Long. But I can guess how it was; every body says that he is ate up with pride, and I dare say he had heard somehow that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage, and had come to the ball in a hack chaise."
“我跟本不相信这种话，要是他果真和蔼可亲，就该跟郎格太太说话啦。可是这里面的奥妙是可想而知的，大家都说他非常骄傲，他所以没跟郎格太太说话，或许是因为听到朗格太太连马车也没有一部，临时雇了车子来参加跳舞会吧。
"I do not mind his not talking to Mrs. Long," said Miss Lucas, "but I wish he had danced with Eliza."
“他没跟郎格太太说话，我倒不计较，卢卡斯小姐说，“我只怪他当时没跟伊丽莎跳舞。
