"And this," said she, "is the end of all his friend's anxious circumspection! of all his sister's falsehood and contrivance! the happiest, wisest, most reasonable end!"

她说:“这就是他那位朋友处心积虑的结局!是他自己的姐妹自欺欺人的下场!这个结果真是太幸福、太圆满、太有意思了!”

In a few minutes she was joined by Bingley, whose conference with her father had been short and to the purpose.

没过几分钟,彬格莱就到她这儿来了,因为他跟她父亲谈得很简捷扼要。

"Where is your sister?" said he hastily, as he opened the door.

他一打开门,便连忙问道:“你姐姐在哪儿?”

"With my mother up stairs. She will be down in a moment, I dare say."

“在楼上我妈那儿,马上就会下来。”

He then shut the door, and, coming up to her, claimed the good wishes and affection of a sister. Elizabeth honestly and heartily expressed her delight in the prospect of their relationship. They shook hands with great cordiality; and then, till her sister came down, she had to listen to all he had to say of his own happiness, and of Jane's perfections; and in spite of his being a lover, Elizabeth really believed all his expectations of felicity to be rationally founded, because they had for basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and himself.

他于是关上了门,走到她跟前,让她亲切地祝贺姐夫。伊丽莎白真心诚意地说,她为他们俩未来的美满姻缘感到欣喜。两人亲切地握了握手。她只听得他讲他自己的幸福,讲吉英的十全十美,一直讲到吉英下楼为止。虽然这些话是出于一个情人之口,可是她深信他那幸福的愿望一定可以实现,因为吉英绝顶聪明,脾气更是好得不能再好,这便是幸福的基础,而且他们彼此的性格和趣味也十分相近。

It was an evening of no common delight to them all; the satisfaction of Miss Bennet's mind gave a glow of such sweet animation to her face, as made her look handsomer than ever. Kitty simpered and smiled, and hoped her turn was coming soon. Mrs. Bennet could not give her consent or speak her approbation in terms warm enough to satisfy her feelings, though she talked to Bingley of nothing else for half an hour; and when Mr. Bennet joined them at supper, his voice and manner plainly shewed how really happy he was.

这一晚大家都非常高兴,班纳特小姐因为心里得意,脸上也显得鲜艳娇美,光彩焕发,比平常更加漂亮。吉蒂笑笑忍忍,忍忍笑笑,一心只希望这样的幸运赶快轮到自己头上。班纳特太太同彬格莱足足谈了半个钟头之久,她满口嘉许,极端赞美,可总觉得不能够把满腔的热情充分表达出来;班纳特先生跟大家一块儿吃晚饭的时候,但看他的谈吐举止,便可以看出他也快活到极点。
