“这话说得对。我的想法既然不能安慰你,你自己居然转得出这样的好念头来,那是再好也没有了,你就相信是她自己想错了吧。现在你算是对她尽了责任,再也用不着烦恼。”
"But, my dear sister, can I be happy, even supposing the best, in accepting a man whose sisters and friends are all wishing him to marry elsewhere?"
“可是,亲爱的妹妹,即使从最好的方面去着想,我能够给这个人的,而他的姐妹和朋友们都希望他跟别人结婚,这样我会幸福吗?”
"You must decide for yourself," said Elizabeth, "and if, upon mature deliberation, you find that the misery of disobliging his two sisters is more than equivalent to the happiness of being his wife, I advise you by all means to refuse him."
“那就得看你自己的主张如何,”伊丽莎白说。“如果你考虑成熟以后,认为得罪了他的姐妹们所招来的痛苦,比起做他的太太所得来的幸福还要大,那么,我劝你决计拒绝了他算数。”
"How can you talk so?" -- said Jane faintly smiling, -- "You must know that though I should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation, I could not hesitate."
