Elizabeth was eager with her thanks and assurances of happiness. She had spent six weeks with great enjoyment; and the pleasure of being with Charlotte, and the kind attentions she had received, must make her feel the obliged. Mr. Collins was gratified; and with a more smiling solemnityreplied,
伊丽莎白连声道谢,说是这次作客,非常快活,这六个星期来真是过得高兴极了,跟夏绿蒂待在一起真有乐趣,加上主人家对待她又那么殷勤恳切,实在叫她感激。柯林斯先生一听此话,大为满意,立刻显出一副笑容可掬的样子,慎重其事地回答道:
"It gives me the greatest pleasure to hear that you have passed your time not disagreeably. We have certainly done our best; and most fortunately having it in our power to introduce you to very superior society, and, from our connection with Rosings, the frequent means of varying the humble home scene, I think we may flatter ourselves that your Hunsford visit cannot have been entirely irksome. Our situation with regard to Lady Catherine's family is indeed the sort of extraordinary advantage and blessing which few can boast. You see on what a footing we are. You see how continually we are engaged there. In truth I must acknowledge that, with all the disadvantages of this humble parsonage, I should not think any one abiding in it an object of compassion while they are sharers of our intimacy at Rosings."
“听到你并没有过得不称心,我真得意到极点。我们总算尽了心意,而且感到最幸运的是,能够介绍你跟上流人来往。寒舍虽然毫不足道,但幸亏高攀了罗新斯府上,使你住在我们这种苦地方,还可以经常跟他们来往来往,可以免得单调,这一点倒使我可以聊以自慰,觉得你这次到汉斯福来不能算完全失望。咖苔琳夫人府上对我们真是特别优待,特别爱护,这种机会是别人求之不得的。你也可以看出我们是处于何等的地位。你看我们简直无时无刻不在他们那边作客。老实说,我这所牧师住宅虽然异常简陋,诸多不便,可是,谁要是住到里边来,就可以和我们共享罗新斯的盛情厚谊,这可有能说是没有福份吧。
