How can you talk so? said Jane faintly smiling, You must know that though I should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation, I could not hesitate.
“你怎么说得出这种话?”吉英微微一笑。“你要知道,即使她们的反对使我万分难受,我还是不会犹豫的。”
I did not think you would; and that being the case, I cannot consider your situation with much compassion.
“我并没有说你会犹豫;既然如此,我就可以不必再为你担心了。”
But if he returns no more this winter, my choice will never be required. A thousand things may arise in six months!
“倘若他今年冬天不回来,我就用不着左思右想了。六个月里会有多少变动啊。”

The idea of his returning no more Elizabeth treated with the utmost contempt. It appeared to her merely the suggestion of Caroline's interested wishes, and she could not for a moment suppose that those wishes, however openly or artfully spoken, could influence a young man so totally independent of every one.
所谓他不会回来,这种想法伊丽莎白大不以为然。她觉得那不过是咖罗琳一厢情愿。她认为珈罗琳这种愿望无论是露骨地说出来也罢,委婉地说出来也罢,对于一个完全无求于人的青年来说,决不会发生丝毫影响。
She represented to her sister as forcibly as possible what she felt on the subject, and had soon the pleasure of seeing its happy effect. Jane's temper was not desponding, and she was gradually led to hope, though the diffidence of affection sometimes overcame the hope, that Bingley would return to Netherfield and answer every wish of her heart.
她把自己对这个问题的感想,解释给她姐姐听,果然一下子就收到了很好的效果,她觉得非常高兴。吉英这样的性子,本来不会轻易意志消沉,从此便渐渐产生了希望认为彬格莱先生准定会回到尼日斐花园一,使她万事如意,尽管有时候她还是怀疑多于希望。
They agreed that Mrs. Bennet should only hear of the departure of the family, without being alarmed on the score of the gentleman's conduct; but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of concern, and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the ladies should happen to go away, just as they were all getting so intimate together. After lamenting it however at some length, she had the consolation of thinking that Mr. Bingley would be soon down again and soon dining at Longbourn, and the conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration that, though he had been invited only to a family dinner, she would take care to have two full courses.
最后姐妹俩一致主张,这事在班纳特太太面前不宜多说,只要告诉她一声,这一家人家已经离开此地,不必向她说明他走原因;可是班纳特太太光是听到这片段的消息,已经大感不安,甚至还哭了起来,埋怨自己运气太坏,两位贵妇人刚刚跟她处熟就走了。不过伤心了一阵以后,她又用这样的想法来安慰自己;彬格莱先生不久就会回来,到浪博恩来吃饭;最后她心安理得地说,虽然只不过邀他来便饭,她一定要费些心思,请他吃两道大菜。
