傲慢与偏见
2 第一章
- It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession[pəˈzeʃn] of a good fortune must be in want of a wife
- this truth is so well fixed[] in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered as the rightful property[ˈprɒpəti] of some one or other of their daughters
- “Do not you want to know who has taken it?”cried[kraɪd] his wife impatiently[ɪm'peɪʃəntli]
- You want to tell me,and I have no objection[əbˈdʒekʃn] to hearing it
- how can you so tiresome[ˈtaɪəsəm]
- Is that his design[dɪˈzaɪn] in settling here
- My dear,you flatter[ˈflætə(r)] me
- When a woman has five grown up daughters ,she ought to give over thinking of[] her own beauty
- It is more than I engage[ɪnˈɡeɪdʒ] for,I assure[əˈʃʊə(r); əˈʃɔː(r)] you
- But consider your daughters.Only think what an establishment[ɪˈstæblɪʃmənt] it would be for one of them.Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go ,merely[ˈmɪəli] on that account.
- I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent[kənˈsent] to his marrying whichever he chooses of the grils.
- You take delight in vexing[ˈveksɪŋ] me.You have no compassion[kəmˈpæʃn] on my poor nerves[nə:vs]
- Mr. Bennet was so odd[ɒd] a mixture of quick parts,sarcastic[sɑːˈkæstɪk] humour[ˈhjuːmə(r)],reserve[rɪˈzɜːv],and caprice[kəˈpriːs]
- When she was discontented[ˌdɪskənˈtentɪd] she fancied['fænsɪd] herself nervous.
- its solace[ˈsɒləs] was visiting and news.
3 第二章
- He had always[] intended to visit him,though to the last always[] assuring his wife that he should not go
- It is then disclosed[dɪsˈkləʊz] in the following manner.
- Observing his second daughter employed[im'plɔid] in trimming[ˈtrɪmɪŋ] a hat,he suddenly addressed her with[]
- “We are not in a way to know what Mr.Bingley likes” said her mother resentfully[].
- We shall meet him at the assemblies[].
- She is a selfish,hypocritical[ˌhɪpəˈkrɪtɪkl] woman.
- Mrs.Bennet designed not to make any reply;but unable to contain[kənˈteɪn] herself,began scolding[] one of her daughters.
- Don’t keep coughing so,Kitty,for heaven’s sake[seɪk; ˈsɑːki]
- Kitty has no discretion[dɪˈskreʃn] in her coughs
- I do not cough for my own amusement[əˈmjuːzmənt],replied Kitty fretfully[]
- I am not acquainted[əˈkweɪntɪd] with him myself,how can you be so teasing['ti:ziŋ].
- I honour your circumspection[]
- if we do not venture[ˈventʃə(r)],somebody will
- The girls stared[stɛərd] at their father
- What can be the meaning of tha emphatic[ɪmˈfætɪk] exclamation[ˌekskləˈmeɪʃn]
- You are a young lady of deep reflection[] and great books and make extracts[]
- I am sick of[] Mr.Bingley
- The astonishment[əˈstɒnɪʃmənt] of the ladies was just what he wished.
- Mrs. Bennet perhaps surpassing[sə'pɑːsɪŋ] the rest.Though when the first tumult[ˈtjuːmʌlt] of joy was over,she began to declare that is was what she had expected all the while
- I was sure you loved your girls too well to neglect[nɪˈɡlekt] such a acquaintance
- he left the room,fatigued[fəˈtiːɡd] with the raptures[ˈræptʃə(r)] of his wife
- “Oh”,said Lydia stoutly[],“I am not afraid,for though I am the youngest,I’m the tallest”
- The rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing[kənˈdʒektʃə(r)] how soon he would return Mr.Bennet’s visit,and determining[dɪ'tɜːmɪnɪŋ] when they sould ask him to dinner
4 第三章
- Not all that Mrs. Bennet, however, with the assistance[əˈsɪstəns] of her five daughters, could ask on the subject was sufficient[səˈfɪʃnt] to draw from her husband any satisfactory[ˌsætɪsˈfæktəri] description of Mr.Bingley
- They attacked him in various ways——with barefaced[ˈbeəfeɪst] question, ingenious[ɪnˈdʒiːniəs] suppositions[ˌsʌpəˈzɪʃn] and distant[ˈdɪstənt] surmises[sə'maɪz]——but he eluded[ɪˈluːd] the skill of them all.
- They were at last obliged[əˈblaɪdʒd] to accept the secondhand['sekənd'hænd] intelligence of their neighbour Lady Lucas.Her report was highly favourable[ˈfeɪvərəbl]
- He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable[əˈɡriːəbl], and to crown[kraʊn] the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party[ˈpɑːti]
- The ladies were somewhat more fortunate[ˈfɔːtʃənət], for they had the advantage of ascertaining[ˌæsəˈteɪn] from an upper window that he wore a blue coat and rode a black horse.
- and already had Mrs. Bennet planned the courses['kɔːsɪz] that where to do credit to[] her housekeeping[ˈhaʊskiːpɪŋ], when a answer arrived which deferred it all.
- The grils grieved[gri:vd] over such a number of ladies; but were comforted[ˈkʌmfət] the day before the ball by hearing that.
- He had a pleasant[ˈpleznt] countenance[ˈkaʊntənəns], and easy, unaffected manners[].
- But his friend Mr. Darcey soon drew the attenion of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble[ˈnəʊbl] mien[miːn] ——and the report which was in general circulation[ˌsɜːkjəˈleɪʃn] within five minutes after his entrance of his having ten thousand a year.
- His manners gave a disgust which turned the tide[taɪd] of his popularity.
- Not all his large estate[ɪˈsteɪt] in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding[fəˈbɪdɪŋ], disagreeable[ˌdɪsəˈɡriːəbl] countenance, and begin unworthy to be compared with his friend.
- Mr.Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal['prɪnsəp(ə)l] people in the room;
- Such amiable[ˈeɪmiəbl] qualities must speak for themselves.
- Mr. Darcey spent the rest of evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally[əˈkeɪʒnəli] to one of his own party.His character was decided[dɪˈsaɪdɪd]
- Amongest the mose violent[ˈvaɪələnt] against him was Mrs. Bennet. whose dislike of his general behaviour was sharped[ʃɑːp] into particular[pəˈtɪkjʊlə(r)] resentment[rɪˈzentmənt] by his having slighted[slaɪt] one of her daughters.
- Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged by the scarcity[ˈskeəsəti] 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[ˌəʊvəˈhɪə(r)] a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley.
- You know how I detest[dɪˈtest] it
- At such an assembly as this, it would be insupportable[ˌɪnsəˈpɔːtəbl]
- Your sister are engaged[ɪnˈɡeɪdʒd], 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[fæˈstɪdiəs] as you are.
- she is the most beautiful creature[ˈkriːtʃə(r)] I ever beheld[bɪˈheld]
- She is tolerable[ˈtɒlərəbl], but not handsome enough to tempt[tempt] me, and I am in no humour at[] present to[] give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other man.
- Elizabeth remained with[] no very cordial[ˈkɔːdiəl] feelings towards him.She told the story how ever with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively,playful disposition[ˌdɪspəˈzɪʃn], which delighted in anything rediculous[]
- The evening altogether passed off[] pleasantly to the whole family.Mrs.Bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired[əd'maɪəd] by the Netherfield party.Mr. Bingley had danced with her twice, and she had been distinguished[dɪˈstɪŋɡwɪʃt] by her sisters.
- Jane was as much gratified[] by this as her mother could be, though in a quieter way.
- Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most accomplished[əˈkʌmplɪʃt] girl in the neighbourhood.
- 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 regrardless of time, and on the present occasion[] he had a good deal of curiosity[ˌkjʊəriˈɒsəti] as to the event of an evening which had raised[reɪzd] such splendid[ˈsplendɪd] expectations.
- Mr. Bingley thought her quite[kwaɪt] beautiful.
- he seemed quite struck[strʌk] with Jane as she was going down the dance.So he inquired[ɪn'kwaɪə] who she was, and got introduced, and asked her for the two next.
- For God’s sake, say no more of[] his parterners.Oh! that he had sprained[] his ankle[ˈæŋkl] in the first dance.
- I never in my life saw anything more elegant[ˈelɪɡənt] than their dresses. I dare say the lace[leɪs] upon Mrs.Hurst’s gown[ɡaʊn]…
- Mr.Bennet protested[] against any description of finery[ˈfaɪnəri].
- With much bitterness[ˈbɪtənəs] of spirit and some exaggeration[ɪɡˌzædʒəˈreɪʃn], the shocking[ˈʃɒkɪŋ] rudeness[] of Mr. Darcy.
- That Lizzy does not lose much by not suiting[ˈsuːtɪŋ; ˈsjuːtɪŋ] his fancy[ˈfænsi];for he is a most disagreeable, horrid[ˈhɒrɪd] man, not at all worth pleasing[ˈpliːzɪŋ].So high and so conceited[kənˈsiːtɪd] that there was no enduring[ɪnˈdjʊərɪŋ] him!
4 第四章
- When Jane and Elizabeth were alone,the former[ˈfɔːmə(r)],who had been cautious in her praise[preɪz] of Mr.Bingley before, expressed to her sister how very much she admired him.
- “He is just what a young man ought to be,” said she, “sensible[ˈsensəbl], good-hourmored,lively;and I never saw such happy manners!–so much ease[iːz],with such perfect good breeding[ˈbriːdɪŋ]!”
- I was very much flattered['flætəd] by his asking me to dance a second time. I did not expect such a compliment[ˈkɒmplɪmənt].
- No thanks to his gallantry[ˈɡæləntri] for that. Well, he certainly is very agreeable, and I give you leave[liːv] to like to him. You have liked many a stupider[] person.
- Oh! you are a great deal too apt[æpt],you know, to like people in general.
- I would wish not to be hasty[ˈheɪsti] in censuring[] any one.
- I know you do; and it is that which makes the wonder[ˈwʌndə(r)].With your good sense[],to be so honestly blind to the follies['fɒliːz] and nonsense of others! Affectation[ˌæfekˈteɪʃn] of candour[] is common enough; one meets it everywhere.But to be candid[ˈkændɪd] without ostentation[ˌɒstenˈteɪʃn] or design[dɪˈzaɪn] –to take the good of everybody’s character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad– belongs to you alone.
- Elizabeth listened in silence,but was not convinced[kənˈvɪnst]; their behaviour at the assembly had not been calculated to please in general;and with more quickness[] of observation and less pliancy[] of temper than her sister,and with a judgment too unassailed[,ʌnə'seild] by any attention to[] herself,she was very little disposed[dɪˈspəʊzd] to approve them.
- They were in fact very fine ladies,not deficient[dɪˈfɪʃnt] in good humour when they were pleased,nor in the power of beging agreeable where they choose it.
- They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the first private seminaries[ˈsemɪnəri] in town.
- They were therefore in every respect[rɪˈspekt] entitled[ɪnˈtaɪtld] to think well of themselves, and meanly[] of others.
- They were of a respectable[rɪˈspektəbl] family in the north of England, a circumstance more deeply impressed[ɪm'prest] on their memories than that their brother’s fortune and their own had been acquired[ə'kwaɪəd] by trade.
- Mr.Bingley intended it likewise, and sometimes made choice of his couty[];but as he was now provided with a good house and the liberty[ˈlɪbəti] of a manor[ˈmænə(r)], it was doubtful[ˈdaʊtfl] to many of those who best knew the easiness[ˈiːzinəs] of his temper whether he might not spend the remainder of his days at Netherfield, and leave the next generation to purchase.
- he was now established only as a tenant[ˈtenənt],Miss Bingley was by no means[] unwilling to preside[prɪˈzaɪd] at his table.
- Mr.Bingley had not been of age[] two years.
- Between him and Darcy there was a very steady[ˈstedi] friendship, in spite of[] a great opposition[ˌɒpəˈzɪʃn] of character.Bingley was endeared[ɪnˈdɪə(r)] to Darcy by the easiness,openness,ductility[dʌk'tɪlətɪ] of his temper, though no disposition could offer a greater contrast[ˈkɒntrɑːst] to his own, and though with his own he never appeared dissatisfied.
- On the strength of Darcy’s regard Bingley had the firmest[] reliance[rɪˈlaɪəns], and of his judgment the highest opinion.In understanding, Darcy was the superior[suːˈpɪərɪə]. Bingley was by no means deficient, but Darcy was clever. He was at the same time haughty[ˈhɔːti], reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well bred, were not inviting.
- The maner is which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently[səˈfɪʃntli] characteristic[ˌkærəktəˈrɪstɪk]
- There had been no formality[fɔ'mæləti],no stiffness[ˈstɪfnəs],he had soon felt acquainted with all the room;and as to Miss Bennet,he could not conceive[kənˈsiːv] an angel more beautiful.
- Darcy, on the contrary['kɒntrərɪ], had seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion.
- Miss Bennet was therefore established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorized['ɔːθəraɪzd] by such commendation[ˌkɒmenˈdeɪʃn] to think of her as he chose.
5 第五章
- Within a short walk[wɔːk] of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets were particularly intimate[ˈɪntɪmət]
- Sir William Lucas had been formerly[ˈfɔːməli] in trade in Meryton,where he had made a tolerable fortune and risen to[] the honour of knighthood[ˈnaɪthʊd] by an address to[] the king, during his mayoralty[].The distinction[dɪˈstɪŋkʃn] had perhaps been felt too strongly.It had given him a disgust to his business and to his residence in a small market town.
- He had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated[dɪˈnɒmɪneɪt] from that period Lucas Lodge, where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and unshackled[] by business, occupy himself solely[ˈsəʊlli] in being civil[ˈsɪvl] to all the world.
- For though elated[ɪˈleɪtɪd] by his rank, it did not render him supercilious[ˌsuːpəˈsɪliəs; ˌsjuːpəˈsɪliəs]; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By nature inoffensive[ˌɪnəˈfensɪv], friendly and obliging[əˈblaɪdʒɪŋ], his presentation at St.James’s had made him courteous[ˈkɜːtiəs].
- To be sure that did seem as if[] he admired her – indeed I rather believe he did
- And which he thought the prettiest?and his answering immediately to the last question–Oh! the eldest Miss Bennet beyond a doubt[], there cannot be two opinions on that point.
- Mr Darcy is not so well worth[] listening to as his friend.
- I beg you would not put it into Lizzy’s head to be vexed by his ill-treatment.
- Everybody Says that he is ate up with[] pride[praɪd], and I dare say he had heard somehow[ˈsʌmhaʊ] that Mrs. Long does not keep a carriage[ˈkærɪdʒ], and had come to the ball in a hack[hæk] chaise[ʃeɪz].
- 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, beacuse there is an excuse[ɪkˈskju:s; ɪkˈskju:z] 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.”
- “That is very true,”replied Elizabeth, “and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified['mɔːtɪfaɪd] mine.”
- “Pride,” observed[əb'zɜːvd] Mary,who piqued[] herself upon the solidity[səˈlɪdəti] of her reflections.
- By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone[prəʊn] to it,and that there are very few of us who do not cherish[ˈtʃerɪʃ] a feeling of self-complacency[kəmˈpleɪsnsi] on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary[ɪˈmædʒɪnəri].
- Vanity[ˈvænəti] and pride are different things, though the the words are often used synonymously[].
- I would keep pack of foxhounds[ˈfɒkshaʊnd], and drink a bottle of wine everyday.
