英文名著精选阅读：《傲慢与偏见》第五章

“彬格莱小姐告诉我，吉英说，“他从来不爱多说话，除非跟知已的朋友们谈谈。他对待知已朋友非常和蔼可亲。

"I do not believe a word of it, my dear. If he had been so very agreeable, he would have talked to Mrs. Long. But I can guess how it was; every body says that he is ate up with pride, and I dare say he had heard somehow that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage, and had come to the ball in a hackchaise."

“我跟本不相信这种话，要是他果真和蔼可亲，就该跟郎格太太说话啦。可是这里面的奥妙是可想而知的，大家都说他非常骄傲，他所以没跟郎格太太说话，或许是因为听到朗格太太连马车也没有一部，临时雇了车子来参加跳舞会吧。

"I do not mind his not talking to Mrs. Long," said Miss Lucas, "but I wish he had danced with Eliza."

“他没跟郎格太太说话，我倒不计较，卢卡斯小姐说，“我只怪他当时没跟伊丽莎跳舞。

"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."
