伊丽莎白觉得她家里人好象是约定今天晚上到这儿来尽量出丑,而且可以说是从来没有那样起劲,从来没有那样成功。她觉得姐姐和彬格莱先生真幸运,有些出丑的场面没有看到,好丰彬格莱先生即使看到了一些可笑的情节,也不会轻易感到难受。不过他的两个姐妹和达西先生竟抓住这个机会来嘲笑她家里人,这已经是够难堪的了,那位先生的无声的蔑视和两个娘儿们的无礼的嘲笑,究竟哪一样更叫人难堪,她可不能断定。
The rest of the evening brought her little amusement. She was teazed by Mr. Collins, who continued most perseveringly by her side, and though he could not prevailwith her to dance with him again, put it out of her power to dance with others. In vain did she entreat him to stand up with somebody else, and offer to introduce him to any young lady in the room. He assured her that as to dancing, he was perfectly indifferent to it; that his chief object was by delicate attentions to recommend himself to her, and that he should therefore make a point of remaining close to her the whole evening. There was no arguing upon such a project. She owed her greatest relief to her friend Miss Lucas, who often joined them, and good-naturedly engaged Mr. Collins's conversation to herself.
晚会的后半段时间也没有给她带来什么乐趣。柯林斯先生还是一直不肯离开她身边,和她打趣。虽然他无法请她再跟他跳一次舞,可是却弄得她也无法跟别人跳。她要求他跟别人去跳,并且答应给他介绍一位小姐,可是他不肯。他告诉她说,讲到跳舞,他完全不发生兴趣,他的主要用意就是要小心等候她,她博得她的欢心,因此他打定主意整个晚上待在她身边。无论怎样跟解释也没用。多亏她的朋友卢卡斯小姐常常来到他们身边,好心好意地和柯林斯先生攀谈攀谈,她才算觉得好受一些。
