经典小说:《傲慢与偏见》第31章(1)
COLONEL Fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the parsonage, and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasure of their engagements at Rosings. It was some days, however, before they received any invitation thither, for while there were visitors in the house they could not be necessary; and it was not till Easter-day, almost a week after the gentlemen's arrival, that they were honoured by such an attention, and then they were merely asked on leaving church to come there in the evening. For the last week they had seen very little of either Lady Catherine or her daughter. Colonel Fitzwilliam had called at the parsonage more than once during the time, but Mr. Darcy they had only seen at church.
费茨廉的风度大受牧师家里人的称道,女眷们都觉得他会使罗新斯宴会平添不少情趣。不过,他们已经有好几天没有受到罗新斯那边的邀请,因为主人家有了客人,用不着他们了;一直到复活节那一天,也就是差不多在这两位贵宾到达一星期以后,他们才蒙受到被邀请的荣幸,那也不过是大家离开教堂时,主人家当面约定他们下午去玩玩而已。上一个星期他们简直就没有见到咖苔琳夫人母女。在这段时间里,费茨威廉到牧师家来拜望过好多次,但是达西先生却没有来过,他们仅仅是在教堂里才见到他。
The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined the party in Lady Catherine's drawing room. Her ladyship received them civilly, but it was plain that their company was by no means so acceptable as when she could get nobody else; and she was, in fact, almost engrossed by her nephews, speaking to them, especially to Darcy, much more than to any other person in the room.
他们当然都接受了邀请,准时到达了咖苔琳夫人的会客室。夫人客客气气地接待了他们,不过事实很明显,他们并不象请不到别的客人那样受欢迎;而且夫人的心几乎都在两位姨侄身上,只顾跟他们说话,特别是跟达西说话比跟房间里任何人都说得多。
Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; any thing was a welcome relief to him at Rosings; and Mrs. Collins's pretty friend had moreover caught his fancy very much. He now seated himself by her, and talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire, of travelling and staying at home, of new books and music, that Elizabeth had never been half so well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much spirit and flow, as to draw the attention of Lady Catherine herself as well as of Mr. Darcy. His eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned towards them with a look of curiosity; and that her ladyship after a while shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not scruple to call out, "What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is."
倒是费茨廉上校见到他们好象很高兴;因为罗新斯的生活实在单调无味,他很想要有点调剂,而且柯林斯太太的这位漂亮朋友更使他十分喜欢。他就坐到她身边去,那么有声有色地谈到肯特郡,谈到哈福德郡,谈到旅行和家居,谈到新书和音乐,直谈得伊丽莎白感觉到在这个房间里从来没有受到过这样的款待;他们俩谈得那么兴致淋漓,连咖苔琳夫人和达西先生也注意起来了。达西的一对眼睛立刻好奇地一遍遍在他们俩身上打溜转;过了一会儿工夫,夫人也有了同感,而且显得更露骨,她毫不犹豫地叫道:“你们说的什么?你们在谈些什么?你跟班纳特小姐在谈些什么话?说给我听听看。”
