“在我看来,一个伯爵的小儿子,对这两件事简直就一点儿不懂。再说,我倒要问你一句正经话,你又懂得什么叫做克制自己和仰仗别人呢?我有没有哪一次因为没有钱,想去什么地方去不成,爱买一样东西买不成?”
"These are home questions -- and perhaps I cannot say that I have experienced many hardships of that nature. But in matters of greater weight, I may suffer from the want of money. Younger sons cannot marry where they like."
“你问得好,或许我在这方面也是不知艰苦。可是遇到重大问题,我可能就会因为没有钱而吃苦了。小儿子往往有了意中人而不能结婚。”
"Unless where they like women of fortune, which I think they very often do."
“除非是爱上了有钱的女人,我认为这种情形他们倒往往会碰到。”
"Our habits of expence make us too dependant, and there are not many in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to money."
“我们花钱花惯了,因此不得不依赖别人,象我这样身份的人,结起婚来能够不讲钱,那可数不出几个了。”
"Is this," thought Elizabeth, "meant for me?" and she coloured at the idea; but, recovering herself, said in a lively tone, "And pray, what is the usual price of an Earl's younger son? Unless the elder brother is very sickly, I suppose you would not ask above fifty thousand pounds."
