“现在该轮到你谈谈啦,达西先生。我既然谈了跳舞,你就得谈谈舞池的大小以及有多少对舞伴之类的问题。”
He smiled, and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be said.
"Very well. -- That reply will do for the present. -- perhaps by and by I may observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones. -- But now we may be silent."
"Do you talk by rule then, while you are dancing?"
"Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together, and yet for the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as as possible."
"Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying mine?"
他笑了笑,告诉她说,她要他说什么他就说什么。
“好极了;这种回答眼前也说得过去了。待一忽儿我或许会谈到私人舞会比公共场所的跳舞会来得好;不过,我们现在可以不必作声了。”
“那么说,你跳起舞来照例总得要谈上几句吗?”
“有时候要的。你知道,一个人总得要说些话。接连半个钟头待在一块儿一声不响,那是够别扭的。不过有些人就偏偏巴不得说话愈少愈好,为这些人着想,谈话也不妨安排得少一点。”
