英文名著精选阅读：《傲慢与偏见》第15章 第3节

Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth -- and it was soon done -- done while Mrs. Bennet was stirring the fire. Elizabeth,equallynext to Jane in birth and beauty, succeeded her of course.

柯林斯先生只得撇开吉英不谈，改选伊丽莎白，一下子就选定了──就在班纳特太太拨火的那一刹那之间选定的。伊丽莎白无论是年龄，美貌，比吉英都只差一步，当然第二个就要轮到她。

Mrs. Bennettreasured upthehint, and trusted that she might soon have two daughters married; and the man whom she could not bear to speak of the day before was now highin her good graces.

班纳特太太得到这个暗示，如获至宝，她相信很快就可以嫁出两个女儿了;昨天她提都不愿意提到的这个人，现在却叫她极为重视了。

Lydia'sintention ofwalking to Meryton was not forgotten; every sister except Mary agreed to go with her; and Mr. Collins was to attend them,at the request ofMr. Bennet, whowas most anxious toget rid ofhim, and have his library to himself; for thither Mr. Collins had followed him after breakfast, and there he would continue, nominally engaged with one of the largestfoliosin the collection, but really talking to Mr. Bennet, with littlecessation, of his house and garden at Hunsford. Such doingsdiscomposedMr. Bennet exceedingly. In his library he had been always sure ofleisureand tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told Elizabeth, to meet with folly andconceitin every other room in the house, he was used to be free from them there; hiscivility, therefore,was most prompt ininviting Mr. Collins to join his daughters in their walk; and Mr. Collins, being in fact much better fitted for a walker than a reader,was extremely well pleased toclose his large book, and go.

丽迪雅原说要到麦里屯支走走，她这个念头到现在还没有打消。除了曼丽之外，姐姐们都愿意跟她同去;班纳特先生为了要把柯林斯先生撵走，好让自己在书房里清净一阵，便请他也跟着她们一起去。原来柯林斯先生吃过早饭以后，就跟着他到书房来了，一直待到那时候还不想走，名义上在看他所收藏的那本大型的对开本，事实上却在滔滔不绝地跟班纳特先生大谈他自己在汉斯福的房产和花园，弄得班纳特先生心烦意乱。他平常待在书房里就是为了要图个悠闲清净。他曾经跟伊丽莎白说过，他愿意在任何一间房间里，接见愚蠢和自高自大的家伙，书房里可就不能让那些人插足了。因此他立刻恭恭敬敬地请柯林斯先生伴着他女儿们一块儿去走走，而柯林斯先生本来也只配做一个步行家，不配做一个读书人，于是非常高兴地合上书本走了。
