家庭乱伦
NOT all that Mrs. Bennet, however, with the assistance of her five daughters, could ask on the subject was sufficient to draw from her husband any satisfactory description of Mr. Bingley. They attacked him in various ways; with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions, and distant surmises; but he eluded the skill of them all; and they were at last obliged to accept the second-hand intelligence of their neighbour Lady Lucas. Her report was highly favourable. Sir William had been delighted with him. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained.
"If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield," said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for."
In a few days Mr. Bingley returned Mr. Bennet's visit, and sat about ten minutes with him in his library. He had entertained hopes of being admitted to a sight of the young ladies, of whose beauty he had heard much; but he saw only the father. The ladies were somewhat more fortunate, for they had the advantage of ascertaining, from an upper window, that he wore a blue coat and rode a black horse.
An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched; and already had Mrs. Bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her housekeeping, when an answer arrived which deferred it all. Mr. Bingley was obliged to be in town the following day, and consequently unable to accept the honour of their invitation, . Mrs. Bennet was quite disconcerted. She could not imagine what business he could have in town so soon after his arrival in Hertfordshire; and she began to fear that he might be always flying about from one place to another, and never settled at Netherfield as he ought to be. Lady Lucas quieted her fears a little by starting the idea of his being gone to London only to get a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed that Mr. Bingley was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly. The girls grieved over such a large number of ladies; but were comforted the day before the ball by hearing that, instead of twelve, he had brought only six with him from London, his five sisters and a cousin. And when the party entered the assembly room, it consisted of only five altogether; Mr. Bingley, his two sisters, the husband of the oldest, and another young man.
尽管班纳特夫人有了五个男儿帮腔,向她丈夫问起彬格莱先生如此这般,但是丈夫的复兴总不成叫她酣畅。母女们想尽目标拼集他赤裸裸的问句,好意思妙的设想,离题很远的估计,什么目标皆用到了;但是他并莫得上她们的圈套。终末她们逼上梁山,只得听取邻居卢卡斯夫人的转折信信。她的报说念全是好话。据说威廉爵士很喜欢他。他荒谬年青,长得终点漂亮,为东说念主又极其谦恭,最过失的小数是,他缠绵请一大群来宾来进入下次的舞会。这确切再好也莫得的事;喜欢舞蹈是调风弄月的一个法子;人人皆猛烈地希望去获取彬格莱先生的那颗心。
“我只消能看到一个男儿在尼日斐花圃幸福地安了家,”班纳特夫人对她的丈夫说,“看到其他几个也匹配得这样望衡对宇,此生就莫得别的奢求了。”
不到几天功夫,彬格莱先生上门回访班纳特先生,在他的书斋里跟他耽搁了十分钟足下。他久仰班纳特先生几位密斯的年青好意思貌,很希望或者见见她们;但是他只见到了她们的父亲。倒是密斯们比他运道,他们应用楼上的窗口,看清了他穿的是蓝外衣,骑的是一匹黑马。
班良友不久就发请贴请他吃饭;班纳特夫人依然琢磨了好几说念菜,每说念菜皆足以加多她的体面,施展她是个会住持的贤主妇,但是事不凑巧,彬格莱先生第二天非进城不可,他们这一番盛情叫他无法承情,因此回信给他们,说是要迟一迟再说。班纳特夫人大为不安。她想,此东说念主刚来到哈福德郡,如何就要进城有事,于是她启动挂牵念念了;照理他应该在尼日斐花圃安安谧定住下来,看目前的情形,莫不是他平淡皆得这样东漂西泊,萍踪不定?幸好卢卡斯夫人对她说,可能他是到伦敦去邀请那一大群来宾来进入舞会,这才使她稍稍减除了一些操心。外面立时就纷纷据说彬格莱先生并莫得带来十二个女宾,只是只带来六个,其中五个是他我方的姐妹,一个是表姐妹,这个音信才使密斯们放了心。其后比及这群稀客走进舞场的本领,却一共只消五个东说念主--彬格莱先生,他的两个姐妹,姐夫,还有另外一个后生。
Mr. Bingley was good looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant countenance, and easy, unaffected manners. His brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, merely looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien; and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud, to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend.
Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and every body hoped that he would never come there again. Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his having slighted one of her daughters.
Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit down for two dances; and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been standing near enough for her to overhear a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes to press his friend to join it.
彬格莱先生仪容堂堂,大有闻东说念主风度,何况慈悲可亲,莫得痴呆作念作的气习。他的姐妹也皆是些优好意思的女性,魄力算作时髦。他的姐夫赫斯脱只不外像个普通闻东说念主,不大引东说念主详实,但是他的一又友达西却坐窝引起全场的矜重,因为他躯壳魁岸,眉清目秀,算作不菲,于是他进场不到五分钟,人人皆纷纷据说他每年有一万磅的收入。男宾们皆传颂他的野蛮兴奋,女宾们皆说他比彬格莱先生漂亮得多。东说念主们差未几有半个晚上皆带着抠门的视力看着他。终末东说念主们才发现他为东说念主骄横,藐视东说念主,伙同不上他,因此对他起了厌恶的嗅觉,他那人心归向的极盛一时的场面才颓靡逊色。他既然摆起那么一副讨东说念主嫌惹东说念主厌的容颜,那么,无论他在德比郡有多大的财产,也转圜不了他,况且和他的一又友比起来,他更莫得什么大不了。
彬格莱先生很快就闇练了全款式有的主要东说念主物。他不满勃勃,为东说念主又不痴呆,每一场舞皆不错少不了要跳。使他气恼的是,舞会如何散场得这样早。他又谈起他我方要在尼日斐花圃开一次舞会。他这些可人的地点当然会引起东说念主家对他发生好感。他跟他的一又友是何等权臣的对照啊!达西先生只跟赫斯脱夫人跳了一次舞,跟彬格莱密斯跳了一次舞,此外就在室内踱来踱去,偶然找他我方东说念主谈谈,东说念主家要先容他跟别的密斯舞蹈,他如何也不肯。人人皆料定他是寰球上最骄横,最讨东说念主厌的东说念主,希望他不要再来。其中对他反感最横暴的是班纳特夫人,她对他的统共这个词算作皆感到腻烦,何况这种腻烦竟变本加厉,变成了一种非常的歧视,因为他得罪了他的一个男儿。
由于男宾少,伊丽莎白·班纳独到两场舞皆不得不空坐。达西先生那时曾一度站在她的身旁,彬格莱先生有益歇了几分钟莫得舞蹈,走到他这位一又友跟前,硬要他去跳,两个东说念主言语给她听到了。
"Come, Darcy," said he, "I must have you dance. I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance."
"I certainly shall not. You know how I detest it, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. At such an assembly as this, it would be insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with."
"I would not be so fastidious as you are," cried Bingley, "for a kingdom! Upon my honour I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life, as I have this evening; and there are several of them, you see, uncommonly pretty."
"You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room," said Mr. Darcy, looking at the eldest Miss Bennet.
"Oh! she is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld! But there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I dare say very agreeable. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you."
"Which do you mean?" and turning round, he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said, "She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me."
“来吧,达西,”彬格莱说,“我一定要你跳。我不肯看到你独个儿这样傻里傻气地站在这儿。照旧去舞蹈吧。”
“我统统不跳。你知说念我一向何等腻烦舞蹈,除非跟终点熟的东说念主跳。在这样的舞会上舞蹈,险些叫东说念主受不了。你的姐妹们皆在跟别东说念主跳,若是叫舞场里别的女东说念主跟我跳,莫得一个不叫我活吃苦的。”
“我可不肯意想你那样挑精选肥,”彬格莱嚷说念,“卤莽如何我也不肯意;不瞒你说,我生平莫得见过今天晚上这样好多可人的姑娘;你瞧,其中几位确切好意思貌绝伦。”
“你诚然罗,舞场上惟一的一位漂亮姑娘在跟你舞蹈!”达西先生说,一面望着班良友年事最大的一位密斯。
“噢!我从来莫得见过这样好意思艳的一个佳丽!但是她的一个妹妹就坐在你后头,她也很漂亮,何况我敢说,她也很讨东说念主爱。让我来请我的舞伴给你们先容一下吧。”
“你说的是哪一位?”他转过身来,朝着伊丽莎白望了一刹,等她也看见了他,他才收回我方的视力,冷冷的说:“她还不错,但还莫得漂亮到打动我的心,咫尺我可莫得好奇去抬举那些受到别东说念主白眼看待的密斯。你照旧回到你的舞伴身边去赏玩她的笑容吧,犯不着把时分铺张在我的身上。”
Mr. Bingley followed his advice. Mr. Darcy walked off; and Elizabeth remained with no very cordial feelings towards him. She told the story however with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in any thing ridiculous.
蝴蝶谷中文娱The evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family. Mrs. Bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the Netherfield party. Mr. Bingley had danced with her twice, and she had been distinguished by his sisters. Jane was as much gratified by this as her mother could be, though in a quieter way. Elizabeth felt Jane's pleasure. Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; and Catherine and Lydia had been fortunate enough to be never without partners, which was all that they had yet learnt to care for at a ball. They returned therefore, in good spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they were the principal inhabitants. They found Mr. Bennet still up. With a book, he was regardless of time; and on the present occasion he had a good deal of curiosity as to the event of an evening which had raised such splendid expectations. He had rather hoped that all his wife's views on the stranger would be disappointed; but he soon found that he had a very different story to hear.
"Oh! my dear Mr. Bennet," as she entered the room, "we have had a most delightful evening, a most excellent ball. I wish you had been there. Jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. Every body said how well she looked; and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice. Only think of that my dear; he actually danced with her twice; and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second time. First of all, he asked Miss Lucas. I was so vexed to see him stand up with her; but, however, he did not admire her at all: indeed, nobody can, you know; and he seemed quite struck with Jane as she was going down the dance. So, he enquired who she was, and got introduced, and asked her for the two next. Then, the two third he danced with Miss King, and the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again, and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the Boulanger --"
"If he had had any compassion for me," cried her husband impatiently, "he would not have danced half so much! For God's sake, say no more of his partners. Oh! that he had sprained his ancle in the first dance!"
彬格莱先生依了达西先生的话走开以后,达西我方也走开了。伊丽莎白依旧坐在那处,对达西先生委实莫得甚好感。不外她却满有益思地把这段偷听到的话去讲给她的一又友听,因为她的个性弘大调皮,际遇任何好笑的事情皆会感到好奇。
班良友全家上这一个晚上梗概皆过得很欢腾。大密斯蒙彬格莱先生邀她跳了两次舞,何况这位贵东说念主的姐妹们皆对她另眼看待。班夫人看到尼日斐花圃的一家东说念主皆这样喜欢她的大男儿,合计荒谬喜悦。吉英跟她母亲同样喜悦,只不外莫得象她母亲那样声张。伊丽莎白也为吉英快活。曼丽曾听到东说念主们在彬格莱密斯眼前提到她我方,说她是相近一带最有才干的姑娘;咖苔琳和丽迪雅运说念最佳,莫得那一场舞枯竭舞伴,这是她们每逢开舞会时惟一海涵的一件事。母女们高欢腾兴地回到她们所住的浪搏恩村(她们算是这个村子里的旺族),看见班纳特先生还莫得就寝。且说这位先生粗造只消捧上一册书,就忘了时分,但是此次他莫得就寝,却是因为他极想知说念人人朝念念暮想的这一嘉会,历程情形究竟如何。他满以为他夫人对那位稀客一定很失望,但是,他坐窝就发觉事实并非如斯。
“噢!我的好老爷,”她一走进房间就这样说,“咱们这一个晚上过得太快活了,舞会太好了。你莫得去真可惜。吉英那么吃香,险些是无法形貌。什么东说念主皆说她长得好;彬格莱先生认为她很好意思,跟她跳了两场舞!你光想想这小数看吧,亲爱的;他如实跟她跳了两场!全场那么多女宾,就只消她一个东说念主蒙受了他两次邀请。他头一场舞是邀请卢卡斯密斯跳的。我看到他站到她身边去,不禁有些气恼!不外,他对她根底没风趣,其实,什么东说念主也不会对她有风趣;当吉英走下舞池的本领,他可就显得荒谬沉迷了。他坐窝探问她的姓名,请东说念主先容,然后邀她跳下一场舞。他第三场舞是跟金密斯跳的,第四场跟玛丽雅·卢卡斯跳,第五场又跟吉英跳,第六场是跟丽萃跳,还有‘布朗谢’。”
“若是他稍稍体谅我小数,”她的丈夫不耐心地叫起来了,“他就不会跳这样多,一半也不会!天哪,不要提他那些舞伴了吧。噢!希望他头一场舞就跳得脚踝扭了筋!”
"Oh! my dear," continued Mrs. Bennet, "I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively handsome! and his sisters are charming women. I never in my life saw any thing more elegant than their dresses. I dare say the lace upon Mrs. Hurst's gown --"
Here she was interrupted again. Mr. Bennet protested against any description of finery. She was therefore obliged to seek another branch of the subject, and related, with much bitterness of spirit and some exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of Mr. Darcy.
"But I can assure you," she added, "that Lizzy does not lose much by not suiting his fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited that there was no enduring him! He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very great! Not handsome enough to dance with! I wish you had been there, my dear, to have given him one of your set downs. I quite detest the man."
“噢!亲爱的,”班纳特夫人接下去说,“我荒谬喜欢他。他真太漂亮啦!他的姐妹们也皆很讨东说念主喜欢。我生平莫得看见过任何东西比她们的服饰更认真。我敢说,赫斯脱夫人一稔上的花边——”说到这里又给岔断了。
班纳特先生不肯意听东说念主谈到服饰。她因此不得不另找话题,于是就谈到达西先生那不可一生的倨傲失仪的魄力,她的措辞辛辣暴戾,而又带几分夸张。
“不外我不错告诉你,”她补充说念,“丽萃不中他的意,这对丽萃并莫得什么可惜,因为他是个最腻烦、最可恶的东说念主不值得去捧场他。那么倨傲,那么炫耀,叫东说念主不可容忍!他一刹走到这里,一刹走到那处,把我方看得那么了不得!还要嫌东说念主家不够漂亮,配不上跟他舞蹈呢!若是你在场的话,你就不错好好地劝诫他一顿。我厌恶透了阿谁东说念主。”
