英文

“你连在宫里都不肯赏脸吗？”

“无论在什么地方，我也不愿意赏这种脸，能避免总是避免。”

"Certainly, sir; and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst the less polished societies of the world. Every savage can dance. "

Sir William only smiled. "Your friend performs delightfully, " he continued after a pause, on seeing Bingley join the group; "and I doubt not that you are an adept in the science yourself, Mr. Darcy. "

"You saw me dance at Meryton, I believe, sir. "

"Yes, indeed, and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight. Do you often dance at St. James's?"

"Never, sir. "

"Do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place?"

"It is a compliment which I never pay to any place if I can avoid it. "

"You have a house in town, I conclude?"

Mr. Darcy bowed.

"I had once had some thought of fixing in town myself--for I am fond of superior society; but I did not feel quite certain that the air of London would agree with Lady Lucas. "

译文

“当然罗，先生；……而且好就好在跳舞在低等社会里也很风行。哪个野蛮人不会跳舞。”

威廉先生笑了笑没作声。接下来他看见彬格莱也来参加跳舞，便对达西这么说：“你的朋友跳得很不错，我相信你对此道也是驾轻就熟吧，达西先生。”

“你大概在麦里屯看见过我跳舞的吧，先生。”

“见过，不错，而且看得非常高兴。你常到宫里去跳舞吗？”

“从来没去过，先生。”

“你连在宫里都不肯赏脸吗？”

“无论在什么地方，我也不愿意赏这种脸，能避免总是避免。”

“你在城里一定有住宅吧？”

达西先生耸了耸身子。

“我一度想在城里住家，因为我喜欢上流社会；不过我可不敢说伦敦的空气是否适合于卢卡斯太太。”
