经典名著:《傲慢与偏见(连载68)》
导读
《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice)是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀的创作的长篇小说。这部作品以日常生活为素材,以反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。并多次被改编成电影和电视剧。
This was exactly as it should be; for the young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming. His appearance was greatly in his favour; he had all the best part of beauty - a fine countenance, a good figure, and very pleasing address.
这真是再好也没有了,因为韦翰这位青年,只要穿上一身军装,便会十全十美。他的容貌举止确实讨人喜欢。他没有一处长得不漂亮,眉目清秀,身材魁梧,谈吐又十分动人。
The introduction was followed up on his side by a happy readiness of conversation - a readiness at the same time perfectly correct and unassuming; and the whole party were still standing and talking together very agreeably, when the sound pf horses drew their notice, and Darcy and Bingley were seen riding down the street. On distinguishing the ladies of the group, the two gentlemen came directly towards them, and began the usual civilities.
一经介绍之后,他就高高兴兴,恳恳切切地谈起话来──既恳切,又显得非常正派,而且又有分寸。他们正站在那儿谈得很投机的时候,忽然听到一阵得得的马蹄声,只见达西和彬格莱骑着马从街上过来。这新来的两位绅士看见人堆里有这几位小姐,便连忙来到她们跟前,照常寒喧了一番。
Bingley was the principal spokesman, and Miss Bennet the principal object. He was then, he said, on his way to Longbourn on purpose to inquire after her.
带头说话的是彬格莱,他大部分的话都是对班纳特小姐说的。他说他正要赶到浪博恩去拜访她。
