The prospect of the Netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every female of the family. Mrs. Bennet chose to consider it as given in compliment to her eldest daughter, and was particularly flattered by receiving the invitation from Mr. Bingley himself, instead of a ceremonious card; Jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the society of her two friends, and the attention of their brother; and Elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with Mr. Wickham, and of seeing a confirmation of every thing in Mr. Darcy's looks and behaviour. The happiness anticipated by Catherine and Lydia, depended less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they each, like Elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with Mr. Wickham, he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball was at any rate, a ball. And even Mary could assure her family that she had no disinclination for it.
尼日斐花园要举行舞会,这一件事使这一家的太太小姐都高兴到极点。班纳特太太认为这次舞会是为了恭维她的大女儿才开的,而且这次舞会由彬格莱先生亲自登门邀请,而不是发请贴来请,这叫她更加高兴。吉英心里只是想象着,到了那天晚上,便可以和两个好朋友促膝谈心,又可以受到他们兄弟的殷勤待候;伊丽莎白得意地想到可以跟韦翰先生痛痛快快地狂跳一下,又可以从达西先生的神情举止中把事情的底细看个水落石出。至于咖苔琳和丽迪雅,她们可不把开心作乐寄托于某一件事或某一个人身上,虽然她们俩跟伊丽莎白一样,想要和韦翰先生跳上大半夜,可是舞会上能够使她们跳个痛快的舞伴决不止他一个人,何况舞会究竟是舞会。甚至连曼丽也告诉家里人说,她对这次舞会也不是完全没兴趣。
