“吉蒂真不知趣，”她的父亲说；“咳嗽也不知道拣个时候。”

“我又不是故意咳着玩儿。”吉蒂气恼地回答道。

"No more have I, " said Mr. Bennet; "and I am glad to find that you do not depend on her serving you. "

Mrs. Bennet deigned not to make any reply, but, unable to contain herself, began scolding one of her daughters.

"Don't keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven's sake! Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces. "

"Kitty has no discretion in her coughs, " said her father; "she times them ill. "

"I do not cough for my own amusement, " replied Kitty fretfully. "When is your next ball to be, Lizzy?"

"To-morrow fortnight. "

"Aye, so it is, " cried her mother, "and Mrs. Long does not come back till the day before; so it will be impossible for her to introduce him, for she will not know him herself. "

"Then, my dear, you may have the advantage of your friend, and introduce Mr. Bingley to HER. "

"Impossible, Mr. Bennet, impossible, when I am not acquainted with him myself; how can you be so teasing?"

“我也瞧不起她，”班纳特先生说；“你倒不指望她来替你效劳，这叫我听到高兴。”

班纳特太太没有理睬他，可是忍不住气，便骂起女儿来。

“别那么咳个不停，吉蒂，看老天爷份上吧！稍许体谅一下我的神经吧。你简直叫我的神经要胀裂啦。”

“吉蒂真不知趣，”她的父亲说；“咳嗽也不知道拣个时候。”

“我又不是故意咳着玩儿。”吉蒂气恼地回答道。

“你们的跳舞会定在那一天开，丽萃？”

“从明天算起，还得再过两个星期。”

“唔，原来如此，”她的母亲嚷道，“郎格太太可要挨到开跳舞会的前一天才能赶回来；那么，她可来不及把他介绍给你们啦，她自己也还不认识他呢。”

“那么，好太太，你正可以占你朋友的上风，反过来替她介绍这位贵人啦。”

“办不到，我的好老爷，办不到，我自己还不认识他呢；你怎么可以这样嘲笑人？”
