但点钱似乎仍不足以经营现代版德比郡彭伯利庄园,要是小说虚构的豪华古宅经营成本真能和现实生活中的德比郡查茨沃斯庄园(每年400万英镑)相提并论的话。
In terms of spending power, Darcy would have been able to buy more with what he had. So his income, and in particular his financial power and influence, might be more faithfullytranslated using a measure that takes into account changes in GDP per capita, as well as the far greater gap between rich and poor that existed in the early 19th century. That figure works out at around £12m per year - enough to run three whole Chatsworths.
就消费力而言,达西能比实际负担起更多。所以,如考虑人均国内生产总值的变化和19世纪初期巨大的贫富差距,对达西的收入,尤其对其经济实力和影响力的换算更为贴近事实。数据算出来约1200万英镑每年,足以经营三个查茨沃斯庄园。
It's hard to say exactly how much Mr Darcy would have been worth in total, but the Duke of Devonshire, who currently lives in Chatsworth House, is estimated to be worth around £500m.
很难说达西现今身价多少,但现今居住在茨沃斯庄园的德文郡公爵身价是5亿英镑。
With so many different factors affecting value comparisons across the centuries, it's difficult to arrive at a reliable modern equivalent for Mr Darcy's fortune. But Mrs Bennett's enthusiasm on learning that Darcy is to be married to her daughter, Elizabeth, probably wouldn't be much changed if she found out her daughter was to share in a £12m per year 21st-century income.
