[00:00.26]MR. COLLINS was not left long to the silent contemplation of his successful love; for Mrs. Bennet, having dawdled about in the vestibule to watch for the end of the conference, 
柯林斯先生独自一个人默默地幻想着美满的姻缘，可是并没有想上多久，因为班纳特太太一直待在走廊里混时间，
[00:09.31]no sooner saw Elizabeth open the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase, than she entered the breakfast room, 
等着听他们俩商谈的结果，现在看见伊丽莎白开了门，匆匆忙忙走上楼去，
[00:15.54]and congratulated both him and herself in warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection. Mr. Collins received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure,
她便马上走进饭厅，热烈地祝贺柯林斯先生，祝贺她自己，说是他们今后大有亲上加亲的希望了。柯林斯先生同样快乐地接受了她的祝贺，
[00:25.44]and then proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview, with the result of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied, 
同时又祝贺了她一番，接着就把他跟伊丽莎白刚才的那场谈话，一五一十地讲了出来，说他有充分的理由相信，
[00:32.10]since the refusal which his cousin had stedfastly given him would naturally flow from her bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of her character.
谈话的结果很令人满意，因为他的表妹虽然再三拒绝，可是那种拒绝，自然是她那羞怯淑静和娇柔细致的天性的流露。
[00:40.30]This information, however, startled Mrs. Bennet;  
这一消息可叫班纳特太太吓了一跳。
[00:43.24]she would have been glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage him by protesting against his proposals, 
当然，要是她的女儿果真是口头上拒绝他的求婚，骨子里却在鼓励他，那她也会同样觉得高兴的，
[00:49.23]but she dared not to believe it, and could not help saying so.
可是她不敢这么想，而且不得不照直说了出来。 
[00:53.37]But depend upon it, Mr. Collins, she added, that Lizzy shall be brought to reason. I will speak to her about it myself directly. 
她说：“柯林斯先生，你放心吧，我会叫丽萃懂事一些的。我马上就要亲自跟她谈谈。
[01:01.30]She is a very headstrong foolish girl, and does not know her own interest; but I will make her know it.
她是个固执的傻姑娘，不明白好歹；可是我会叫她明白的。”
[01:08.32]Pardon me for interrupting you, Madam, cried Mr. Collins; but if she is really headstrong and foolish, 
“对不起，让我插句嘴，太太，”柯林斯先生叫道：“要是她果真又固执又傻，
[01:16.03]I know not whether she would altogether be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation, who naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state. 
那我就不知道她是否配做我理想的妻子了，因为象我这样地位的人，结婚自然是为了要幸福。
[01:23.58]If therefore she actually persists in rejecting my suit, perhaps it were better not to force her into accepting me, because if liable to such defects of temper, 
这么说，如果她真拒绝我的求婚，那倒是不要勉强她好，否则，她脾气方面有了这些缺点，
[01:34.29]she could not contribute much to my felicity.
她对于我的幸福决不会不什么好处。”
[01:37.38]Sir, you quite misunderstand me, said Mrs. Bennet, alarmed. Lizzy is only headstrong in such matters as these. In every thing else she is as good natured a girl as ever lived. 
班纳特太太吃惊地说：“先生，你完全误会了我的意思，丽萃不过在这类事情上固执些，可是遇到别的事情，她的性子再好也没有了。
[01:48.15]I will go directly to Mr. Bennet, and we shall very soon settle it with her, I am sure.
我马上去找班纳特先生，我们一下子就会把她这个问题谈妥的，我有把握。”
[01:53.16]She would not give him time to reply, but hurrying instantly to her husband, called out as she entered the library, Oh! Mr. Bennet, you are wanted immediately; 
她不等他回答，便急忙跑到丈夫那儿去，一走进他的书房就嚷道：“噢，我的好老爷，你得马上出来一下；
[02:02.12]we are all in an uproar. You must come and make Lizzy marry Mr. Collins, for she vows she will not have him, 
我们闹得天翻地覆了呢。你得来劝劝丽萃跟柯林斯先生结婚，因为她赌咒发誓不要他；
[02:08.17]and if you do not make haste he will change his mind and not have her.
假如你不赶快来打个圆场，他就要改变主意，反过来不要她了。”
