"Oh! certainly," cried his faithful assistant, "no one can be really esteemed accomplished, who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with. A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved."

“噢，当然罗，他的忠实助手叫起来了，“要是一个妇女不能超越常人，就不能算是多才多艺。一个女人必须精通音乐、歌唱、图画、舞蹈以及现代语文，那才当得起这个称号;除此以外，她的仪表和步态，她的声调，她的谈吐和表情，都得有相当风趣，否则她就不够资格。

"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."

达西接着说：“她除了具备这些条件以外，还应该多读书，长见识，有点真才实学。

"I am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any."

“怪不得你只认识六个才女啦。我现在简直疑心你连一个也不认识呢。

"Are you so severeupon your own sex, as to doubt the possibility of all this?"

“你怎么对你们女人这般苛求，竟以为她们不可能具备这些条件?
