"Beyond a doubt, they do wish him to chuse Miss Darcy," replied Jane; "but this may be from better feelings than you are supposing. They have known her much longer than they have known me; no wonder if they love her better. But, whatever may be their own wishes, it is very unlikely they should have opposed their brother's. What sister would think herself at liberty to do it, unless there were something very objectionable? If they believed him attached to me, they would not try to part us; if he were so, they could not succeed. By supposing such an affection, you make every body acting unnaturally and wrong, and me most unhappy. Do not distress me by the idea. I am not ashamed of having been mistaken or, at least, it is slight, it is nothing in comparison of what I should feel in thinking ill of him or his sisters. Let me take it in the best light, in the light in which it may be understood."

“毫无问题,她们希望他选中达西小姐,”吉英说:“不过,说到这一点,她们也许是出于一片好心,并不如你所想象的那么恶劣。她们认识她比认识我早得多,难怪她们更喜欢她。可是不管她们自己愿望如何,她们总不至于违背她们兄弟的愿望吧。除非有了什么太看不顺眼的地方,哪个做姐妹的会这样冒味?要是她们相信他爱上了我,她们决不会想要拆散我们;要是他果真爱我,她们要拆散也拆散不成。如果你一定要以为他对我真有感情,那么,她们这样做法,便是既不近人情,又荒谬绝伦,我也就更伤心了。不要用这种想法来使我痛苦吧。我决不会因为一念之差而感到羞耻──即使感到羞耻也极其轻微,倒是一想起他或他的姐妹们无情无义,我真不知道要难受多少倍呢。让我从最好的方面去想吧,从合乎人情事理的方面去想吧。”

Elizabeth could not oppose such a wish; and from this time Mr. Bingley's name was scarcely ever mentioned between them.

伊丽莎白无法反对她这种愿望,从此以后,她们就不大提起彬格莱先生的名字。
Mrs. Bennet still continued to wonder and repine at his returning no more, and though a day seldom passed in which Elizabeth did not account for it clearly, there seemed little chance of her ever considering it with less perplexity. Her daughter endeavoured to convince her of what she did not believe herself, that his attentions to Jane had been merely the effect of a common and transient liking, which ceased when he saw her no more; but though the probability of the statement was admitted at the time, she had the same story to repeat every day. Mrs. Bennet's best comfort was that Mr. Bingley must be down again in the summer.
班纳特太太见他一去不回,仍然不断地纳闷,不断地抱怨,尽管伊丽莎白几乎没有哪一天不给她解释个清楚明白,然而始终无法使她减少些忧烦。女儿尽力说她,尽说一些连她自己也不相信的话给母亲听,说是彬格莱先生对于吉英的钟情,只不过是出于一时高兴,根本算不上什么,一旦她不在他眼前,也就置诸度外了。虽然班纳特太太当时也相信这些话不假,可是事后她又每天旧事重提,最后只有想出了一个聊以自慰的办法,指望彬格莱先生来年夏天一定会回到这儿来。
Mr. Bennet treated the matter differently. "So, Lizzy," said he one day, "your sister is crossed in love I find. I congratulate her. Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed in love a little now and then. It is something to think of, and gives her a sort of distinction among her companions. When is your turn to come? You will hardly bear to be long outdone by Jane. Now is your time. Here are officers enough at Meryton to disappoint all the young ladies in the country. Let Wickham be your man. He is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably."
班纳特先生对这件事可就抱着两样的态度。有一天他对伊丽莎白说:“嘿,丽萃,我发觉你的姐姐失恋了。我倒要祝贺她。一个姑娘除了结婚以外,总喜欢不时地尝点儿失恋的滋味。那可以使她们有点儿东西去想想,又可以在朋友们面前露露头角。几时轮到你头上来呢?你也不愿意让吉英超前太久吧。现在你的机会来啦。麦里屯的军官们很多,足够使这个村子里的每一个年轻的姑娘失意。让韦翰做你的对象吧。他是个有趣的家伙,他会用很体面的办法把你遗弃。”
