你觉得这一句怎么样,亲爱的丽萃?”吉英读完了以后说。“说得还不够清楚吗?这不是明明白白地表明她们不希望、也不愿意我做她们的嫂嫂吗?不是说明了她完全相信他的哥哥对我无所谓吗?而且不也是说明了:假如她怀疑到我对他有感情,她就要劝我(多亏她这样好心肠!)当心些吗?这些话还能有别的解释吗?”
"Yes, there can; for mine is totally different. -- Will you hear it?"
“当然可以有别的解释;我的解释就和你的解释完全两样。你愿意听一听吗?”
"Most willingly."
“非常愿意。”
"You shall have it in few words. Miss Bingley sees that her brother is in love with you, and wants him to marry Miss Darcy. She follows him to town in the hope of keeping him there, and tries to persuade you that he does not care about you."
“这只消三言两语就可以说明白。彬格莱小姐看出他哥哥爱上了你,可是她却希望他和达西小姐结婚。她跟着他到城里去,就为的是要把他绊住在那儿,而且竭力想来说服你,叫你相信他对你没有好感。”
Jane shook her head.
吉英摇摇头。
"Indeed, Jane, you ought to believe me. -- No one who has ever seen you together, can doubt his affection. Miss Bingley I am sure cannot. She is not such a simpleton. Could she have seen half as much love in Mr. Darcy for herself, she would have ordered her wedding clothes. But the case is this. We are not rich enough, or grand enough for them; and she is the more anxious to get Miss Darcy for her brother, from the notion that when there has been one intermarriage, she may have less trouble in achieving a second; in which there is certainly some ingenuity, and I dare say it would succeed, if Miss de Bourgh were out of the way. But, my dearest Jane, you cannot seriously imagine that because Miss Bingley tells you her brother greatly admires Miss Darcy, he is in the smallest degree less sensible of your merit than when he took leave of you on Tuesday, or that it will be in her power to persuade him that instead of being in love with you, he is very much in love with her friend."
