Elizabeth could safely say that it was a great happiness where that was the case, and with equal sincerity could add that she firmly believed and rejoiced in his domestic comforts. She was not sorry, however, to have the recitalof them interrupted by the entrance of the lady from whom they sprung. Poor Charlotte! -- it was melancholyto leave her to such society! -- But she had chosen it with her eyes open; and though evidently regretting that her visitors were to go, she did not seem to ask for compassion. Her home and her housekeeping, her parishand her poultry, and all their dependent concerns, had not yet lost their charms.
伊丽莎白本来可以放心大胆地说,他们夫妇这样相处,的确是很大的幸福,而且她还可以用同样诚恳的语气接下去说,她完全认为他们家里过得很舒适,她亦叨了一份光。不过话才说到一半,被说到的那位太太走了进来,打断了她的话。她倒并不觉得遗憾。夏绿蒂好不可怜!叫她跟这样的男人朝夕相处,实在是一种痛苦。可是这毕竟是她自己睁大了眼睛挑选的。她眼看着客人们就要走了,不免觉得难过,可是她好象并不要求别人怜悯。操作家务,饲养家禽,教区里的形形色色,以及许许多多附带的事,都还没有使她感到完全乏味。
At length the chaise arrived, the trunks were fastened on, the parcels placed within, and it was pronounced to be ready. After an affectionate parting between the friends, Elizabeth was attended to the carriage by Mr. Collins, and as they walked down the garden, he was commissioning her with his best respects to all her family, not forgetting his thanks for the kindness he had received at Longbourn in the winter, and his compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, though unknown. He then handed her in, Maria followed, and the door was on the point of being closed, when he suddenly reminded them, with some consternation, that they had hithertoforgotten to leave any message for the ladies at Rosings.
