Whilst wandering on in this slow manner, they were again surprised, and Elizabeth's astonishment was quite equal to what it had been at first, by the sight of Mr. Darcy approaching them, and at no great distance.
他们就这样慢慢溜达,不料又吃了一惊,尤其是伊丽莎白,她几乎诧异得跟刚才完全没有两样。原来他们又看见达西先生向他们这边走来,而且快要来到跟前了。

The walk being here less sheltered than on the other side, allowed them to see him before they met. Elizabeth, however astonished, was at least more prepared for an interview than before, and resolved to appear and to speak with calmness, if he really intended to meet them. For a few moments, indeed, she felt that he would probably strike into some other path. This idea lasted while a turning in the walk concealed him from their view; the turning past, he was immediately before them. With a glance she saw that he had lost none of his recent civility; and, to imitate his politeness, she began, as they met, to admire the beauty of the place; but she had not got beyond the words "delightful," and "charming," when some unlucky recollections obtruded, and she fancied that praise of Pemberley from her might be mischievously construed. Her colour changed, and she said no more.
这一带的小路不象对岸那样隐蔽,因此他们隔得很远便可以看见他。不过伊丽莎白不管怎么诧异,至少比刚刚那次见面有准备得多,因此她便下定决心;如果他当真要来跟他们碰头,她便索性放得镇定些跟他攀谈一番。她开头倒以为他也许会转到别的一条小道上去。她所以会有这种想法,只因为道儿拐弯的时候,他的身影被遮住了,他们看不见他。可是刚一拐弯,他马上便出现在他们面前。她偷偷一看,只见他正象刚才一样,没有一点儿失礼的地方,于是她也仿效着他那彬彬有礼的样子,开始赞赏这地方的美丽风光,可是她刚刚开口说了几声“动人”、“妩媚”,心里又起了一个不愉快的念头。她想,她这样赞美彭伯里,不是会叫人家曲解吗?想到这里,她不禁又红了脸,一声不响。
Mrs. Gardiner was standing a little behind; and on her pausing, he asked her if she would do him the honour of introducing him to her friends. This was a stroke of civility for which she was quite unprepared; and she could hardly suppress a smile at his being now seeking the acquaintance of some of those very people against whom his pride had revolted, in his offer to herself.
嘉丁纳太太站在稍微后面一点;正当伊丽莎白默不作声的时候,达西却要求她赏个脸,把她这两位亲友给他介绍一下。他这样的礼貌周到,真是完全出乎她的意料;想当初他向她求婚的时候,他竟那样傲慢,看不起她的某些亲友,而他现在所要求介绍的却正是这些亲友,相形之下,她简直忍不住要笑出来。
