名著选读：傲慢与偏见31

“我们谈谈音乐，姨母，”费茨廉上校迫不得已地回答了一下。

"Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I must have my share in the conversation, if you are speaking of music. There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully. How does Georgiana get on, Darcy?"

“谈音乐！那么请你们说得响一些吧。我最喜爱音乐。要是你们谈音乐，就得有我的份儿。我想，目前在英国，没有几个人能象我一样真正欣赏音乐，也没有人比我趣味更高。我要是学了音乐，一定会成为一个名家。安妮要是身体好，也一定会成为一个名家的。我相信也演奏起来，一定动人。乔治安娜，现在学得怎么样啦，达西？”

Mr. Darcy spoke with affectionate praise of his sister's proficiency.

|达西先生极其恳切地把自己妹妹的成就赞扬了一番。

"I am very glad to hear such a good account of her," said Lady Catherine; "and pray tell her from me, that she cannot expect to excel, if she does not practise a great deal."
