"Are you, indeed? And pray what sort of guardians do you make? Does your charge give you much trouble? Young ladies of her age are sometimes a little difficult to manage, and if she has the true Darcy spirit, she may like to have her own way."
“你真的是吗?请问,你这位保护人当得怎么样?你们这位小姐相当难待候吧?象她那样年纪的小姐,有时候真不大容易对付;假若她的脾气也和达西一模一样,她自然也会样样事都凭她自己高兴。”
As she spoke, she observed him looking at her earnestly, and the manner in which he immediately asked her why she supposed Miss Darcy likely to give them any uneasiness, convinced her that she had somehow or other got pretty near the truth. She directly replied, "You need not be frightened. I never heard any harm of her; and I dare say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world. She is a very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance, Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley. I think I have heard you say that you know them."
她说这话的时候,只见他在情恳意切望着她。他马上就问她说,为什么她会想到达西小姐可能使他们感到棘手。她看他问这句话的神态,就愈发断定自己果真猜得很接近事实。她立刻回答道:“你不必慌张。我从来没有听到过她有什么坏处;而且我敢说,她是世界上最听话的一位姑娘。我的女朋友们中有几个人,譬如赫斯脱太太和彬格莱小姐,都喜欢得她了不得。我好象听你说过,你也认识她们的。”
