Bingley replied that he did, and made his congratulations. Elizabeth dared not lift up her eyes. How Mr. Darcy looked, therefore, she could not tell.
彬格萊說(shuō)他看到了,又向她道賀。伊麗莎白連眼睛也不敢抬起來(lái),因此也不知道達(dá)西先生此刻的表情如何。
"It is a delightful thing, to be sure, to have a daughter well married," continued her mother, "but at the same time, Mr. Bingley, it is very hard to have her taken such a way from me. They are gone down to Newcastle, a place quite northward, it seems, and there they are to stay I do not know how long. His regiment is there; for I suppose you have heard of his leaving the ----shire, and of his being gone into the regulars. Thank Heaven! he has some friends, though perhaps not so many as he deserves."
班納特太太接下去說(shuō):“的確,順利地嫁出了一個(gè)女兒,真是樁開心的事,可是,彬格萊先生,她離開了我身邊,我又覺得難受。他們到紐卡斯?fàn)柸チ?,在很遠(yuǎn)的北方,他們?nèi)チ艘院笠膊恢蓝嗤聿拍芑貋?lái)。他的部隊(duì)在那兒。他已經(jīng)脫離了某某民兵團(tuán),加入了正規(guī)軍,你大概也知道吧。謝天謝地!他總算也有幾個(gè)朋友,不過(guò)他還得再多幾個(gè)才好呢?!?/div>
Elizabeth, who knew this to be levelled at Mr. Darcy, was in such misery of shame, that she could hardly keep her seat. It drew from her, however, the exertion of speaking, which nothing else had so effectually done before; and she asked Bingley whether he meant to make any stay in the country at present. A few weeks, he believed.
伊麗莎白知道她這話是有意說(shuō)給達(dá)西先生聽的,真是難為情要命,幾乎坐也坐不住了。不過(guò)這番話倒是比什么都有效用,使她能夠勉為其難地跟客人攀談起來(lái)。她開始向彬格萊是否打算暫時(shí)在鄉(xiāng)下小住,他說(shuō),要住幾個(gè)星期。
"When you have killed all your own birds, Mr. Bingley," said her mother, "I beg you will come here, and shoot as many as you please on Mr. Bennet's manor. I am sure he will be vastly happy to oblige you, and will save all the best of the covies for you."
她母親說(shuō):“彬格萊先生,等你把你自己莊園里的鳥兒打完以后,請(qǐng)到班納特先生的莊園里來(lái),你愛打多少就打多少。我相信他一定非常樂(lè)意讓你來(lái),而且會(huì)把最好的鷓鴣都留給你?!?/div>
Elizabeth's misery increased, at such unnecessary, such officious attention! Were the same fair prospect to arise at present as had flattered them a year ago, every thing, she was persuaded, would be hastening to the same vexatious conclusion. At that instant, she felt that years of happiness could not make Jane or herself amends for moments of such painful confusion.
伊麗莎白聽她母親這樣廢話連篇,討好賣乖,越發(fā)覺得難受。想起了一年以前,她們?cè)?jīng)滿懷希望,沾沾自喜,如今雖然眼見得又是好事在即,然而只消一轉(zhuǎn)眼的工夫,便會(huì)萬(wàn)事落空,徒感懊喪。她只覺得無(wú)論是吉英也好,她自己也好,即使今后能夠終身幸福,也補(bǔ)償不了這幾分鐘的苦痛難堪。
"The first wish of my heart," said she to herself, "is never more to be in company with either of them. Their society can afford no pleasure that will atone for such wretchedness as this! Let me never see either one or the other again!"
她心里想:“我只希望今后永遠(yuǎn)不要跟他們來(lái)往。跟他們做朋友雖然能夠獲得愉快,可是實(shí)在抵償不了這種難堪的局面。但愿再也不要見到他們!”
Yet the misery, for which years of happiness were to offer no compensation, received soon afterwards material relief, from observing how much the beauty of her sister re-kindled the admiration of her former lover. When first he came in, he had spoken to her but little; but every five minutes seemed to be giving her more of his attention. He found her as handsome as she had been last year; as good natured, and as unaffected, though not quite so chatty. Jane was anxious that no difference should be perceived in her at all, and was really persuaded that she talked as much as ever. But her mind was so busily engaged, that she did not always know when she was silent.
不過(guò)話說(shuō)回來(lái),雖然終身幸福也抵償不了眼前的痛苦,可是不到幾分鐘工夫,她看到姐姐的美貌又打動(dòng)了她先前那位情人的心,于是她的痛苦便大大減輕了。彬格萊剛進(jìn)來(lái)的時(shí)候,簡(jiǎn)直不大跟吉英說(shuō)話,可是不久便越來(lái)越殷勤。他發(fā)覺吉英還是象去年一樣漂亮,性格溫順,態(tài)度自然,只是不象去年那么愛說(shuō)話。吉英一心只希望人家看不出她跟從前有什么兩樣,她自以為她依舊象從前一樣健談。其實(shí)她是心事太重,因此有時(shí)候沉默起來(lái),連她自己也沒有覺察到。
When the gentlemen rose to go away, Mrs. Bennet was mindful of her intended civility, and they were invited and engaged to dine at Longbourn in a few days time.
班納特太太早就打算向貴客稍獻(xiàn)殷勤,當(dāng)他們告辭的時(shí)候,她記起了這件事,便立刻邀請(qǐng)他們過(guò)幾天到浪搏恩來(lái)吃飯。
"You are quite a visit in my debt, Mr. Bingley," she added, "for when you went to town last winter, you promised to take a family dinner with us, as soon as you returned. I have not forgot, you see; and I assure you, I was very much disappointed that you did not come back and keep your engagement."
于是她便說(shuō)道:“彬格萊先生,你還欠我一次回拜呢,你去年冬天上城里去的時(shí)候,答應(yīng)一回來(lái)就上我們這兒來(lái)吃頓便飯。你要知道,我一直把這事擺在心上,你卻一直沒有回來(lái)赴約,真使我大失所望。”
Bingley looked a little silly at this reflection, and said something of his concern at having been prevented by business. They then went away.
提起這件事來(lái),彬格萊不禁呆了半天,后來(lái)才說(shuō),因?yàn)橛惺虑榈R了,極為抱歉。然后兩人便告辭而去。
Mrs. Bennet had been strongly inclined to ask them to stay and dine there that day; but, though she always kept a very good table, she did not think any thing less than two courses could be good enough for a man on whom she had such anxious designs, or satisfy the appetite and pride of one who had ten thousand a year.
班納特太太本來(lái)一心一意打算當(dāng)天就請(qǐng)他們吃飯,然而她又想到,家里平常的飯菜雖然也很不錯(cuò),可是人家是個(gè)有身份的人,每年的收入在一萬(wàn)鎊之多,她既然對(duì)人家寄存著那么深切的希望,那么,不添兩道正菜,怎么好意思呢?
