"Another time, Lizzy," said her mother, "I would not dance with him, if I were you."
“丽萃,假如我是你,她母亲说,“我下次偏不跟他跳舞。
"I believe, Ma'am, I may safely promise you never to dance with him."
“妈妈,我相信我可以万无一失地向你保证,我怎么也不跟他跳舞呢。
"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, every thing in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud."
“他虽然骄傲,卢卡斯小姐说,“可不象一般人的骄傲那样使我生气,因为他的骄傲还勉强说得过去。这么优秀的一个青年,门第好,又有钱,样样都比人家强,也难怪他要自以为了不起,照我的说法,他有权利骄傲。
"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had notmortifiedmine."
“这倒是真话,伊丽莎白回答道,“要是他没有触犯我的骄傲,我也很容易原谅他的骄傲。
"Pride," observed Mary, whopiquedherself upon the solidity of her reflections, "is a very common failing I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacencyon the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often usedsynonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
