伊丽莎白天生不大会发脾气,虽然她今天晚上大为扫兴,可是她情绪上并没有不愉快多少时候。她先把满腔的愁苦都告诉了那位一星期没有见面的夏绿蒂·卢卡斯小姐,过了一会儿又自告奋勇地把她表兄奇奇怪怪的情形讲给她听,一面又特别把他指出来给他看。头两场舞重新使他觉得烦恼,那是两场活受罪的跳舞。柯林斯先生又呆笨又刻板,只知道道歉,却不知道小心一些,往往脚步弄错了自己还不知道。他真是个十足叫人讨厌的舞伴,使她丢尽了脸,受尽了罪。因此,从他手里解脱出来,真叫她喜欢欲狂。
She danced next with an officer, and had the refreshment of talking of Wickham, and of hearing that he was universally liked. When those dances were over she returned to Charlotte Lucas, and was in conversation with her, when she found herself suddenly addressed by Mr. Darcy, who took her so much by surprise in his application for her hand, that, without knowing what she did, she accepted him. He walked away again immediately, and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of mind; Charlotte tried to console her.
"I dare say you will find him very agreeable."
"Heaven forbid! -- That would be the greatest misfortune of all! -- To find a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate! -- Do not wish me such an evil."
她接着跟一位军官跳舞,跟他谈起韦翰的事。听他说,韦翰是个到处讨人喜爱的人,于是她精神上舒服了许多。跳过这几场舞以后,她就回到夏绿蒂·卢卡斯身边,跟她谈话,这时候突然听到达西先生叫她,出其不意地请她跳舞,她吃了一惊,竟然不由自主地答应了他。达西跳过以后便立刻走开了,于是她口口声声怪自己为什么这样没主意。夏绿蒂尽力安慰她。
