英舉辦傲慢與偏見舞會尋找現實中的達西

Women looking for their real-life Mr Darcy flocked to Chatsworth House, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, for the annual Pride and Prejudice Ball yesterday。

那些尋覓着自己現實生活中達西先生的女士們涌入查茲沃斯莊園——德文郡公爵和公爵夫人的家——來參加昨日在此舉辦的一年一度的“傲慢與偏見”舞會。

Regency costumed men and women forked out £85 for tickets to the themed event, which included a tour of the house a four-course meal and a dancing display。

身着攝政服裝的男男女女爲這場主題活動的門票支付了85英鎊，活動內容包括參觀這座莊園、品嚐一頓四道菜的大餐以及欣賞一場舞蹈表演。

Elizabeth Bennett lookalikes flooded the grounds in the empire-waisted dresses, while the men wore 'Wellington boots' - knee-high footwear at the height of regency fashion - perfectly tied silk cravats, waistcoats and dinner jackets。

模仿伊麗莎白·班內特的女生們身穿高腰裙如洪水般融入莊園，而男士們則穿上高過膝蓋非常符合攝政時期風尚的“威靈頓長筒靴”、認真繫好的絲綢領結、穿着男士馬甲及晚禮服進入。

The ball in Derbyshire staged an evening to remember, celebrating the 202 years since the publication of Pride and Prejudice。

這場舞會在德比郡舉行了一個晚上，以此來慶祝《傲慢與偏見》出版202週年。

The stately home has been the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire since 1549 and is mentioned in Pride and Prejudice as one of the stately homes that Elizabeth Bennet visits before arriving at Pemberley。

這座開放供參觀的豪華古宅是自1549年以來德文郡公爵的處所，它在《傲慢與偏見》中是伊麗莎白·班內特在到達彭伯利莊園之前的到訪之處。

In the book, lead character Elizabeth Bennet meets Mr Darcy for the first time at a similar event to the Pride and Prejudice soiree - but takes an immediate dislike to him。

書中的主角伊麗莎白·班內特在一個與這次“傲慢與偏見”晚會類似的場合遇見了達西先生——但她卻對他立刻生厭。

Chatsworth has been used as a setting for other Pride and Prejudice themed outings, from fans coming to see the locations and enjoy 'Pemberley', to themed photography, such as their Pride and Prejudice themed photo shoot。

查茲沃斯莊園被用作爲其他“傲慢與偏見”主題活動的場地，從書迷們慕名而來參觀感受的“彭伯利莊園”到主題攝影活動如以“傲慢與偏見”爲主題的攝影活動。
