Her sister, however, assured her of her being perfectly well; and their conversation, which had been passing while Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were engaged with their children, was now put an end to by the approach of the whole party. Jane ran to her uncle and aunt, and welcomed and thanked them both, with alternate smiles ad tears.
姐姐告诉她完好无恙。姐妹俩趁着嘉丁纳夫妇忙于应付孩子们的时候,刚刚谈了这几句话,只见他们一大群男女老幼都走过来了,于是谈话只得终止。吉英走到舅父母跟前去表示欢迎和感谢,笑一阵又哭一阵。
When they were all in the drawing-room, the questions which Elizabeth had already asked were of course repeated by the others, and they soon found that Jane had no intelligence to give. The sanguine hope of good,
however, which the benevolence of her heart suggested had not yet deserted her; she still expected that it would all end well, and that every morning would bring some letter, either from Lydia or her father, to explain their proceedings, and, perhaps, announce their marriage.
大家都走进会客室以后,舅父母又把伊丽莎白刚才问过的那些话重新问了一遍,立刻就发觉吉英没有什么消息可以奉告。吉英因为心肠慈善,总是从乐观的方面去着想,即使事到如今,她还没有心灰意冷,她还在指望着一切都会有圆满的结局;总有哪一天早上她会收到一封信,或者是父亲写来的,或者是丽迪雅写来的,信上会把事情进行的经过详细报道一番,或许还会宣布那一对男女的结婚消息。

Mrs. Bennet, to whose apartment they all repaired, after a few minutes' conversation together, received them exactly as might be expected; with tears and lamentations of regret, invectives against the villainous conduct of Wickham, and complaints of her own sufferings and ill-usage; blaming everybody but the person to whose ill-judging indulgence the errors of her daughter must principally be owing.
大家谈了一会儿以后,都到班纳特太太房里去了。果然不出所料,班纳特太太见到他们便眼泪汪汪,长吁短叹。她先把韦翰的卑劣行为痛骂了一顿,又为自己的病痛和委屈抱怨了一番,她几乎把每个人都骂到了,只有一个人没骂到,而那个人却正是盲目溺爱女儿,使女儿铸成大错的主要原因。
"If I had been able, " said she, "to carry my point in going to Brighton, with all my family, THIS would not have happened; but poor dear Lydia had nobody to take care of her. Why did the Forsters ever let her go out of their sight? I am sure there was some great neglect or other on their side, for she is not the kind of girl to do such a thing if she had been well looked after. I always thought they were very unfit to have the charge of her; but I was overruled, as I always am. Poor dear child! And now here's Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham, wherever he meets him and then he will be killed, and what is to become of us all? The Collinses will turn us out before he is cold in his grave, and if you are not kind to us, brother, I do not know what we shall do. "
她说:“要是当初能够依了我的打算,让全家人都跟着到白利屯去,那就不会发生这种事了。丽迪雅真是又可怜又可爱。毛病就出在没有人照应。弗斯脱太太怎么竟放心让她离开他们跟前呢?我看,一定是他们太怠慢了她。象她那样一个姑娘,要是有人好好地照料她,她是决不会做出那种事来的。我一直觉得他们不配照管她;可是我一直要受人家摆布。可怜的好孩子呀!班纳特先生已经走了,他一碰到韦翰,一定会跟他拚个死活,他一定会给韦翰活活打死,那叫我们大家可怎么办?他尸骨未寒,柯林斯一家人就要把我们撵出去;兄弟呀,要是你不帮帮我们的忙,我就真不知道怎么是好啦。”
