It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。
“You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner.”
「达西先生，如果你以为你表白的方式对我起了什么别的作用，那你就错了。你那样做，只是免得我在拒绝你的时候感到不安，倘若你举止更像个绅士的话。」
“Mr. Darcy is not to be laughed at!” cried Elizabeth. “That is an uncommon advantage, and uncommon I hope it will continue, for it would be a great loss to me to have many such acquaintance. I dearly love a laugh.”
「达西先生是不能让人笑话的！」伊丽莎白嚷道。「这种优越的条件倒真少见，我希望它永远少见，因为要是让我结识了许多这样的人，那对我可是个大损失。我非常喜欢笑。」
“Certainly, Sir; —and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst the less polished societies of the world. Every savage can dance.”
「当然，先生，而且它还有一个好处，就是在世界上那些不大开化的社会里也流行。每个野蛮人都会跳舞。」
“His pride,” said Miss Lucas, “does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud.”
「他的骄傲，」卢卡斯小姐说，「并不像骄傲通常那样叫我生气，因为他有理由骄傲。这样一位出色的青年，家世、财产，样样都占优势，难怪他把自己看得很高。如果我可以这样说的话，他有权利骄傲。」
“All this she must possess,” added Darcy, “and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading.”
「这一切她都必须具备，」达西补充说，「而且除此之外，她还必须加上更实在的东西，那就是通过广泛阅读来充实自己的头脑。」
“Certainly,” replied Elizabeth —“there are such people, but I hope I am not one of them. I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can. But these, I suppose, are precisely what you are without.”
「当然，」伊丽莎白答道，「这样的人是有的，但我希望我不是其中之一。我希望我从不嘲笑明智或善良的事物。愚蠢和无聊，任性和反复无常，确实叫我开心，我承认，我一有机会就笑它们。不过我想，这些恰恰是你所没有的。」
“There certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those two young men. One has got all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it.”
「这两个年轻人的教育肯定出了大问题。一个得到了所有的美德，另一个得到了所有的美德的外表。」
“What did you say of me, that I did not deserve? For though your accusations were ill-founded, formed on mistaken premises, my behaviour to you at the time had merited the severest reproof. It was unpardonable. I cannot think of it without abhorrence.”
「你说我什么了，是我活该的？因为尽管你的指责毫无根据，是建立在错误的前提上，可我当时对你的行为该受到最严厉的责备。那是不可原谅的。我一想到它就厌恶。」
“It taught me to hope,” said he, “as I had scarcely ever allowed myself to hope before. I knew enough of your disposition to be certain that, had you been absolutely, irrevocably decided against me, you would have acknowledged it to Lady Catherine, frankly and openly.”
「它教会了我抱有希望，」他说，「以前我几乎从不允许自己抱有希望。我对你的性情了解得够多，确信倘若你绝对地、不可挽回地拒绝了我，你也会向凯瑟琳夫人坦率而公开地承认的。」
“My dearest child,” she cried, “I can think of nothing else! Ten thousand a year, and very likely more! ’Tis as good as a Lord! And a special licence. You must and shall be married by a special licence. But my dearest love, tell me what dish Mr. Darcy is particularly fond of, that I may have it tomorrow.”
「我的宝贝孩子，」她嚷道，「我别的什么也想不到了！一万镑一年，很可能还不止！简直跟爵爷一样好！还有特别许可证。你必须而且一定要凭特别许可证结婚。可是我最亲爱的，告诉我达西先生特别爱吃哪道菜，我明天好准备。」
“Well, my dear,” said he, when she ceased speaking, “I have no more to say. If this be the case, he deserves you. I could not have parted with you, my Lizzy, to anyone less worthy.”
「好了，亲爱的，」等她说完，他说，「我再没什么可说的了。既然是这样，他配得上你。我的丽萃，我本来不会把你嫁给任何不如他的人。」
“Pray, my dear aunt, what is the difference in matrimonial affairs, between the mercenary and the prudent motive? Where does discretion end, and avarice begin? Last Christmas you were afraid of his marrying me, because it would be imprudent; and now, because he is trying to get a girl with only ten thousand pounds, you want to find out that he is mercenary.”
「请问，好舅妈，在婚姻大事上，贪财的动机和谨慎的动机有什么区别？谨慎到哪里为止，贪婪又从哪里开始？去年圣诞节你怕他娶我，因为那不明智；现在因为他想娶一个只有一万镑的姑娘，你就想找出他贪财。」
“No, indeed. I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing, when one has a motive; only three miles. I shall be back by dinner.”
「不，真的。我并不想避开这次散步。一个人有了目的，这点路算不了什么，只有三英里。我会在晚饭前回来。」
“And yet I meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike to him, without any reason. It is such a spur to one’s genius, such an opening for wit to have a dislike of that kind. One may be continually abusive without saying anything just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.”
「可是我本来还自以为特别聪明，无缘无故就对他下了那么坚决的厌恶。这种厌恶真是对天才的激励，对机智的启发。一个人可以不断地谩骂而不说一句公道话；可是一个人不可能老是嘲笑一个人，而偶尔不碰到一点俏皮话。」
