名著精讀《傲慢與偏見》第15章 第3節

Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth -- and it was soon done -- done while Mrs. Bennet was stirring the fire. Elizabeth, equally next to Jane in birth and beauty, succeeded her of course.

柯林斯先生只得撇開吉英不談，改選伊麗莎白，一下子就選定了──就在班納特太太撥火的那一剎那之間選定的。伊麗莎白無論是年齡，美貌，比吉英都只差一步，當然第二個就要輪到她。

Mrs. Bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have two daughters married; and the man whom she could not bear to speak of the day before was now high in her good graces.

班納特太太得到這個暗示，如獲至寶，她相信很快就可以嫁出兩個女兒了；昨天她提都不願意提到的這個人，現在卻叫她極爲重視了。

Lydia's intention of walking to Meryton was not forgotten; every sister except Mary agreed to go with her; and Mr. Collins was to attend them, at the request of Mr. Bennet, who was most anxious to get rid of him, and have his library to himself; for thither Mr. Collins had followed him after breakfast, and there he would continue, nominally engaged with one of the largest folios in the collection, but really talking to Mr. Bennet, with little cessation, of his house and garden at Hunsford. Such doings discomposed Mr. Bennet exceedingly. In his library he had been always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told Elizabeth, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room in the house, he was used to be free from them there; his civility, therefore, was most prompt in inviting Mr. Collins to join his daughters in their walk; and Mr. Collins, being in fact much better fitted for a walker than a reader, was extremely well pleased to close his large book, and go.

麗迪雅原說要到麥裏屯支走走，她這個念頭到現在還沒有打消。除了曼麗之外，姐姐們都願意跟她同去；班納特先生爲了要把柯林斯先生攆走，好讓自己在書房裏清淨一陣，便請他也跟着她們一起去。原來柯林斯先生吃過早飯以後，就跟着他到書房來了，一直待到那時候還不想走，名義上在看他所收藏的那本大型的對開本，事實上卻在滔滔不絕地跟班納特先生大談他自己在漢斯福的房產和花園，弄得班納特先生心煩意亂。他平常待在書房裏就是爲了要圖個悠閒清淨。他曾經跟伊麗莎白說過，他願意在任何一間房間裏，接見愚蠢和自高自大的傢伙，書房裏可就不能讓那些人插足了。因此他立刻恭恭敬敬地請柯林斯先生伴着他女兒們一塊兒去走走，而柯林斯先生本來也只配做一個步行家，不配做一個讀書人，於是非常高興地合上書本走了。
