班纳特太太直到第二天还是同样不高兴,身体也没有复元。柯林斯先生也还是那样又气愤又傲慢的样子。伊丽莎白原以为他这样一气,就会早日离开此地,谁知道他决不因此而改变原来的计划,他讲她要到星期六才走,便决定要待到星期六。
After breakfast, the girls walked to Meryton, to inquire if Mr. Wickham were returned, and to lament over his absence from the Netherfield ball. He joined them on their entering the town and attended them to their aunt's, where his regret and vexation, and the concern of every body was well talked over. -- To Elizabeth, however, he voluntarily acknowledged that the necessity of his absence had been self imposed.
吃过早饭,小姐们上麦里屯去打听韦翰先生回来了没有,同时为了他没有参加尼日斐花园的舞会而去向他表示惋惜。她们一走到镇上就遇见了他,于是他陪着小姐们上她们姨妈家里去,他在那儿把他的歉意,他的烦恼,以及他对于每个人的关注,谈了个畅快。不过他却在伊丽莎白面前自动说明,那次舞会是他自己不愿意去参加。
"I found," said he, "as the time drew near, that I had better not meet Mr. Darcy; -- that to be in the same room, the same party with him for so many hours together, might be more than I could bear, and that scenes might arise unpleasant to more than myself."
他说:“当时日期一天天迫近,我心里想,还是不要碰见达西先生的好;我觉得要同他在同一间屋子里,在同一个舞会上,待上好几个钟头,那会叫我受不了,而且可能会闹出些笑话来,弄得彼此都不开心。”
