浪搏恩这家人家除了这些事以外,再没有别的大事;除了到麦里屯去散散步以外,再没有别的消遣。
With no greater events than these in the Longbourn family, and otherwise diversified by little beyond the walks to Meryton, sometimes dirty and sometimes cold, did January and February pass away. March was to take Elizabeth to Hunsford. She had not at first thought very seriously of going thither; but Charlotte, she soon found, was depending on the plan and she gradually learned to consider it herself with greater pleasure as well as greater certainty. Absence had increased her desire of seeing Charlotte again, and weakened her disgust of Mr. Collins. There was novelty in the scheme, and as, with such a mother and such uncompanionable sisters, home could not be faultless, a little change was not unwelcome for its own sake. The journey would moreover give her a peep at Jane; and, in short, as the time drew near, she would have been very sorry for any delay. Everything, however, went on smoothly, and was finally settled according to Charlotte's first sketch. She was to accompany Sir William and his second daughter. The improvement of spending a night in London was added in time, and the plan became perfect as plan could be.
The only pain was in leaving her father, who would certainly miss her, and who, when it came to the point, so little liked her going, that he told her to write to him, and almost promised to answer her letter.
The farewell between herself and Mr. Wickham was perfectly friendly; on his side even more. His present pursuit could not make him forget that Elizabeth had been the first to excite and to deserve his attention, the first to listen and to pity, the first to be admired; and in his manner of bidding her adieu, wishing her every enjoyment, reminding her of what she was to expect in Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and trusting their opinion of her--their opinion of everybody--would always coincide, there was a solicitude, an interest which she felt must ever attach her to him with a most sincere regard; and she parted from him convinced that, whether married or single, he must always be her model of the amiable and pleasing.
Her fellow-travellers the next day were not of a kind to make her think him less agreeable. Sir William Lucas, and his daughter Maria, a good-humoured girl, but as empty-headed as himself, had nothing to say that could be worth hearing, and were listened to with about as much delight as the rattle of the chaise. Elizabeth loved absurdities, but she had known Sir William's too long. He could tell her nothing new of the wonders of his presentation and knighthood; and his civilities were worn out, like his information.
参考译文
浪搏恩这家人家除了这些事以外,再没有别的大事;除了到麦里屯去散散步以外,再没有别的消遣。时而雨水泞途、时而风寒刺骨的正月和二月,就这样过去了。三月里伊丽莎白要上汉斯福去。开头她并不是真想去;可是她立刻想到夏绿蒂对于原来的约定寄予了很大的期望,于是她也就带着比较乐意和比较肯定的心情来考虑这个问题了。离别促进了她想夏绿蒂重逢的愿望,也消除了她对柯林斯先生的厌恶。这个计划多少总有它新奇的地方;再说,家里有了这样的母亲和这样几位不能融洽的妹妹,自难完美无缺,换换环境也好。趁着旅行的机会也可去看看吉英;总之,时日迫近了,她反而有些等不及了。她在一切都进行得很顺利,最后依旧照了夏绿蒂原先的意思,跟威廉爵士和他的第二个女儿一块儿去作一次客。以后这计划又补充了一下,决定在伦敦住一夜,这一来可真是个十全十美的计划了。
只有和父亲离别使她感到痛苦,父亲一定会记挂她。说起来,他根本就不愿意让她去,既是事情已经决定,只得叫她常常写信给他,而且几乎答应亲自给她回信。
她跟韦翰先生告别时,双方都十分客气,韦翰比她还要客气。他目前虽然在追求别人,却并没有因此就忘了伊丽莎白是第一个引起他注目的人,第一个值得他注目的人,第一个听他倾诉衷情,第一个可怜他,第一个搏得了他爱慕的人;他向她告别,祝她万事如意,又对她说了一遍德·包尔夫人是很好的一个人,他相信他们俩对那位老夫人的评价,对每一个人的评价,一定完全吻合。他说这话的时候,显得很是热诚,很是关切,这种盛情一定会使她对他永远怀着极其深挚的好感。他们分手以后,她更相信不管他结婚也罢,单身也罢,他在她的心目中将会始终是一个极其和蔼可亲而又讨人喜欢的人。
第二天和她同路的那些人,也并没有使韦翰在她心目中相形见绌。威廉爵士简直说不出一句中听的话,他那位女儿玛丽亚虽然脾气很好,脑子却象她父亲一样空洞,也说不出一句中听的话。听他们父女俩说话,就好象听到车辆的辘辘声一样无聊。伊丽莎白本来爱听无稽之谈,不过威廉爵士那一套她实在听得腻了。他谈来谈去总不外乎觐见皇上以及荣膺爵士头衔之类的奇闻,翻不出什么新花样来;他那一套礼貌举止,也象他的出言吐语一样,已经陈腐不堪。
