“Are you quite sure, ma’am? Is not there a little mistake?” said Jane. “I certainly saw Mr. Darcy speaking to her.”
“Ay, because she asked him at last how he liked Netherfield, and he could not help answering her; but she said he seemed very angry at being spoke to.”
“你就那样肯定，妈妈？——是不是有点小误会？”简说，“我的确看见达西先生在跟她说话。”
“是的——因为她最后问起他是不是喜欢内瑟菲尔德庄园，他才不得不回答她；——不过，她说他好像对有人跟他说话十分生气。”
could not help doing sth
忍不住做某事
“Miss Bingley told me,” said Jane, “that he never speaks much unless among his intimate acquaintance. With them he is remarkably agreeable.”
“I do not believe a word of it, my dear. If he had been so very agreeable, he would have talked to Mrs. Long. But I can guess how it was; everybody says that he is eat up with pride, and I dare say he had heard somehow that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage, and had to come to the ball in a **hack chaise.**”
“宾利小姐告诉我说，”简说，“他从来不多说话，除非是跟他亲密的熟人在一起。他跟熟人非常容易相处。”
“这种话我一个字都不相信。他要是那样和蔼可亲，就会跟朗太太说话的。不过，我可以猜出这是怎么回事；大家都说他极其傲慢；我敢说，他不知怎么听说了朗太太没有马车，是坐出租马车来参加舞会的。”

“I do not mind his not talking to Mrs. Long,” said Miss Lucas, “but I wish he had danced with Eliza.”
“我不介意他是不是跟朗太太说话，”卢卡斯小姐说，“不过，我真希望他当时跟伊莱扎跳舞。”
“Another time, Lizzy,” said her mother, “I would not dance with him, if I were you.”
她的妈妈说：“丽齐，我要是你的话，下次就不会跟他跳舞。”
“I believe, ma’am, I may safely promise you never to dance with him.”
“His pride,” said Miss Lucas, “does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud.”
“妈妈，我相信，我可以有把握地向你保证绝不跟他跳舞。”
“他的傲慢，”卢卡斯小姐说，“并不像通常的骄傲那样使我非常生气，因为他的傲慢情有可原。这么出色的一个小伙子，出身好，又有钱，什么都得天独厚，难怪他会自命清高。我要是可以这样说的话，那就是他有权傲慢。”

“That is very true,” replied Elizabeth, “and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.”

“Pride,” observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections, “is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed; that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often{26} used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
“傲慢，”玛丽评论道，自以为思维缜密，无懈可击。“我相信，是非常普遍的缺点。从读过的所有书来看，我深信那的确非常普遍，人性特别容易趋向这一点，因为自己具有这样或那样的品质而怀有沾沾自喜感情的人，无论是真实的还是想象的，我们没有几个人不是这样。虚荣和傲慢是截然不同的两件事，尽管用词上常常当作同义词。一个人可以傲慢，不要虚荣。傲慢更多是指我们对自己的看法，虚荣则是指我们想要别人对我们的看法。”
