"That you were gone into the army, and she was afraid had -- not turned out well. At such a distance as that, you know, things are strangely misrepresented."
“她說(shuō)你進(jìn)了軍隊(duì)，就怕──－就怕你情形不大好。路隔得那么遠(yuǎn)，傳來(lái)的話十分靠不住?！?/div>

"Certainly," he replied, biting his lips.
“當(dāng)然羅，”他咬著嘴唇回答道。

Elizabeth hoped she had silenced him; but he soon afterwards said, "I was surprised to see Darcy in town last month. We passed each other several times. I wonder what he can be doing there."
伊麗莎白滿以為這一下可以叫他住嘴了；但是過(guò)不了一會(huì)兒，他又說(shuō)道：“上個(gè)月真出乎意料，在城里碰到了達(dá)西。我們見(jiàn)了好幾次面。我不知道他到城里有什么事?！?/div>

"Perhaps preparing for his marriage with Miss de Bourgh," said Elizabeth. "It must be something particular, to take him there at this time of year."
“或許是準(zhǔn)備跟德·包爾結(jié)婚吧，”伊麗莎白說(shuō)。“他在這樣的季節(jié)到城里去，一定是為了什么特別的事?！?/div>

"Undoubtedly. Did you see him while you were at Lambton? I thought I understood from the Gardiners that you had."
“毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)。你在藍(lán)白屯見(jiàn)到過(guò)他嗎？聽(tīng)嘉丁納夫婦說(shuō)，你見(jiàn)到過(guò)他的?！?/div>

"Yes; he introduced us to his sister."
“見(jiàn)過(guò)，他還把我們介紹給他的妹妹?！?/div>

"And do you like her?"
“你喜歡她嗎？”

"Very much."
“非常喜歡?！?/div>

"I have heard, indeed, that she is uncommonly improved within this year or two. When I last saw her, she was not very promising. I am very glad you liked her. I hope she will turn out well."
“真的，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)她這一兩年來(lái)有了很大的長(zhǎng)進(jìn)。以前看到他的時(shí)候，我真覺(jué)得她沒(méi)有什么出息。你喜歡她，我很高興。但愿她能夠改好得象個(gè)人樣?！?/div>

"I dare say she will; she has got over the most trying age."
“她一定會(huì)那樣；她那最容易惹禍的年齡已經(jīng)過(guò)去了?！?/div>

"Did you go by the village of Kympton?"
“你們經(jīng)過(guò)金泊屯村的嗎？”

"I do not recollect that we did."
“我記不得是否到過(guò)那個(gè)地方。”

"I mention it, because it is the living which I ought to have had. A most delightful place! -- Excellent Parsonage House! It would have suited me in every respect."
“我所以要提到那個(gè)地方，就因?yàn)槲耶?dāng)初應(yīng)該得到的一份牧師俸祿就在那兒。那是個(gè)非常好玩的地方！那所牧師住宅也好極了！各方面都適合我。”

"How should you have liked making sermons?"
“你竟喜歡講道嗎？”

"Exceedingly well. I should have considered it as part of my duty, and the exertion would soon have been nothing. One ought not to repine; -- but, to be sure, it would have been such a thing for me! The quiet, the retirement of such a life would have answered all my ideas of happiness! But it was not to be. Did you ever hear Darcy mention the circumstance, when you were in Kent?"
“喜歡極了。我本當(dāng)把它看作我自己本份的職務(wù)，即使開(kāi)頭要費(fèi)點(diǎn)力氣，過(guò)不了多久也就無(wú)所謂了。一個(gè)人不應(yīng)該后悔；可是，這的確是我的一份好差事！這樣安閑清靜的生活，完全合乎我幸福的理想！只可惜已經(jīng)事過(guò)境遷。你在肯特郡的時(shí)候，有沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到達(dá)西談起過(guò)這件事？”

"I have heard from authority, which I thought as good, that it was left you conditionally only, and at the will of the present patron."
“聽(tīng)到過(guò)的，而且我認(rèn)為他的話很靠得住，聽(tīng)說(shuō)那個(gè)位置給你是有條件的，而且目前這位施主可以自由處理?！?/div>

"You have. Yes, there was something in that; I told you so from the first, you may remember."
“你聽(tīng)到過(guò)！不錯(cuò)，這話也有道理；我開(kāi)頭就告訴過(guò)你，你可能還記得?！?/div>

"I did hear, too, that there was a time, when sermon-making was not so palatable to you as it seems to be at present; that you actually declared your resolution of never taking orders, and that the business had been compromised accordingly."
“我還聽(tīng)說(shuō)，你過(guò)去有一個(gè)時(shí)期，并不象現(xiàn)在這樣喜歡講道，你曾經(jīng)慎重其事地宣布過(guò)，決計(jì)不要當(dāng)牧師，于是這件事就此解決了?！?/div>

"You did! and it was not wholly without foundation. You may remember what I told you on that point, when first we talked of it."
“你真聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)！這話倒不是完全沒(méi)有根據(jù)。你也許還記得，我們第一次談起這件事的時(shí)候，我也提起過(guò)的?！?/div>

They were now almost at the door of the house, for she had walked fast to get rid of him; and unwilling, for her sister's sake, to provoke him, she only said in reply, with a good-humoured smile, "Come, Mr. Wickham, we are brother and sister, you know. Do not let us quarrel about the past. In future, I hope we shall be always of one mind."
他們兩人現(xiàn)在快要走到家門(mén)口了，因?yàn)樗幸庾叩煤芸?，要摔脫他；不過(guò)看在妹妹份上，她又不愿意使他生氣，因此她只是和顏悅色地笑了笑，回答道：“算了吧，韋翰先生；你要知道，我們現(xiàn)在已是兄弟姐妹。不要再為了過(guò)去的事去爭(zhēng)論吧。但愿將來(lái)一直不會(huì)有什么沖突?！?/div>

She held out her hand; he kissed it with affectionate gallantry, though he hardly knew how to look, and they entered the house.
她伸出手來(lái)，他親切而殷勤地吻了一下。他這時(shí)候簡(jiǎn)直有些啼笑皆非。他們就這樣走進(jìn)了屋子。
