It was not till the afternoon, when he had joined them at tea, that Elizabeth ventured to introduce the subject; and then, on her briefly expressing her sorrow for what he must have endured, he replied, "Say nothing of that. Who should suffer but myself? It has been my own doing, and I ought to feel it. "
一直到下午，他跟她们一块儿喝茶的时候，伊丽莎白才大胆地谈到这件事。她先简单地说到他这次一定吃了不少的苦，这使她很难过，他却回答道：“别说这种话吧。除了我自己之外，还有谁该受罪呢？我自己做的事应该自己承担。”
"You must not be too severe upon yourself, " replied Elizabeth.
伊丽莎白劝慰他说：“你千万不要过分埋怨自己。”
"You may well warn me against such an evil. Human nature is so prone to fall into it! No, Lizzy, let me once in my life feel how much I have been to blame. I am not afraid of being overpowered by the impression. It will pass away soon enough. "
“你劝我也是白劝。人的本性就是会自怨自艾！不丽萃，我一辈子也不曾自怨自艾过，这次也让我尝尝这种滋味吧。我不怕忧郁成病。这种事一下子就会过去的。”
"Do you suppose them to be in London?"
“你以为他们会在伦敦吗？”
"Yes; where else can they be so well concealed?"
“是的，还有什么别的地方能让他们藏得这样好呢？”
"And Lydia used to want to go to London, " added Kitty.
吉蒂又在一旁补说了一句：“而且丽迪雅老是想要到伦敦去。”
"She is happy then, " said her father drily; "and her residence there will probably be of some duration. "
父亲冷冷地说：“那么，她可得意啦，她也许要在那儿住一阵子呢。”
Then after a short silence he continued:
沉默了片刻以后，他又接下去说：
"Lizzy, I bear you no ill-will for being justified in your advice to me last May, which, considering the event, shows some greatness of mind. "
“丽萃，五月间你劝我的那些话的确没有劝错，我决不怪你，从目前这件事看来，你的确有见识。”

They were interrupted by Miss Bennet, who came to fetch her mother's tea.
班纳特小姐送茶进来给她母亲，打断了他们的谈话。
"This is a parade, " he cried, "which does one good; it gives such an elegance to misfortune! Another day I will do the same; I will sit in my library, in my nightcap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as I can; or, perhaps, I may defer it till Kitty runs away. "
班纳特先生大声叫道：“这真所谓享福，舒服极了；居然倒霉也不忘风雅！哪一天我也要来学你的样子，坐在书房里，头戴睡帽，身穿寝衣，尽量找人麻烦；要不就等到吉蒂私奔了以后再说。”
"I am not going to run away, papa, " said Kitty fretfully. "If I should ever go to Brighton, I would behave better than Lydia. "
吉蒂气恼地说：“我不会私奔的，爸爸，要是我上白利屯去，我一定比丽迪雅规矩。”
"YOU go to Brighton. I would not trust you so near it as Eastbourne for fifty pounds! No, Kitty, I have at last learnt to be cautious, and you will feel the effects of it. No officer is ever to enter into my house again, nor even to pass through the village. Balls will be absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters. And you are never to stir out of doors till you can prove that you have spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner. "
“你上白利屯去！你即使要到东浪搏恩那么近的地方去，叫我跟人家打五十镑的赌，我也不敢！不吉蒂，我至少已经学会了小心，我一定要让你看看我的厉害。今后随便哪个军官都不许上我的门，甚至不许从我们村里经过。绝对不许你们去参加跳舞会，除非你们姐妹之间自己跳跳；也不许你走出家门一步，除非你在家里每天至少有十分钟规规矩矩，象个人样。”
Kitty, who took all these threats in a serious light, began to cry.
吉蒂把这些威吓的话看得很认真，不由得哭了起来。
"Well, well, " said he, "do not make yourself unhappy. If you are a good girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review at the end of them. "
班纳特先生连忙说道：“得啦，得啦，别伤心吧。假使你从今天起，能做上十年好姑娘，那么等到十年满期的时候，我一定带你去看阅兵典礼。”
