费茨威廉上校立刻就跟大家攀谈起来,口齿伶俐,象个有教养的人,并且谈得颇有风趣;可是他那位表兄,却只跟柯林斯太太把房子和花园稍许评赏了几句,就坐那儿没有跟任何人说话。过了一会儿,他重新想到了礼貌问题,便向伊丽莎白问候她和她全家人的安好。伊丽莎白照例敷衍了他几句,停了片刻,她又说:
"My eldest sister has been in town these three months. Have you never happened to see her there?"
“我姐姐最近三个月来一直在城里。你从来没有碰到过她吗?”
She was perfectly sensible that he never had; but she wished to see whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between the Bingleys and Jane; and she thought he looked a little confused as he answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet Miss Bennet. The subject was pursued no farther, and the gentlemen soon afterwards went away.
其实她明明知道他从来没有碰到过吉英,只不过为了想要探探他的口气,看看他是否知道彬格莱一家人和吉英之间的关系。他回答说,不幸从来未曾碰到过班纳特小姐,她觉得他回答这话时神色有点慌张。这件事没有再谈下去,两位贵宾立刻就告辞了。
