英漢雙語版《傲慢與偏見》第十一章節選
Mrs Bennet was quite depressed when Lydia and Wickham left Longbourn to travel north to Newcastle. But soon Mrs Philips brought the happy news that Mr Bingley was expected to return to Netherfield in a day or two, and Mrs Bennet became very excited. She made preparations to invite him to dinner, and counted the days that must pass before she could send the invitation.
麗迪亞和韋翰離開浪搏恩北上紐卡斯爾，這使班納特太太相當喪氣。但不久菲力普斯太太帶來了好消息，說彬格萊先生可望於一兩天內返回尼日斐，班納特太太激動萬分。她開始爲邀請他吃飯作準備，並且盤算着再過幾天就可以發送請帖了。
解析：depressed 沮喪的、蕭條的
eg: What do you do when you feel really low and depressed?
當你覺得十分低沉和沮喪的時候會做什麼？
However, on only the third morning after his arrival, she caught sight of him from her bedroom window, riding towards Longbourn House, with another gentleman, also on horseback.
但是，就在彬格萊到達後的第三天上午，她就從臥室的窗戶中看到了他騎着馬向浪搏恩府走來，同行的還有一位先生，也騎着馬。

'Girls! Quickly!' she cried. 'Mr Bingley is coming! And who's that with him? It must be Mr Darcy, that tall, proud man. Well, as he is Mr Bingley's friend, we must be polite to him, but I must say, I hate the sight of him.'
“姑娘們！快點兒！”她喊道。“彬格萊先生來了！跟他一起來的是誰？一定是達西先生，那個高個子、傲慢的人。哎呀，他既然是彬格萊先生的朋友，我們也要客氣點兒，可是，我得承認，我不喜歡見到他。”
Both Jane and Elizabeth felt uncomfortable, and sympathized with each other. Jane was nervous about meeting Bingley again, and determined not to show her feelings. Elizabeth was uneasy at the thought of seeing Darcy, as she was the only one who knew how much the whole family owed him, in spite of their general dislike of him. She was astonished that he had come to see her, and for a moment she allowed herself to hope that his affection and wishes might still be the same.
簡和伊麗莎白都感到很不自在，兩人同病相憐。又要見到彬格萊，簡感到惴惴不安，決心不表露自己的感情。伊麗莎白一想到要見達西了，就感到很尷尬，因爲就她一個人知道全家欠人家多少情，儘管大家都討厭人家。他來看她，使她很驚奇，有那麼一會兒，她大膽地希望他仍舊未改初衷。
解析：uncomfortable 不舒服的、不安的
eg:There was an uncomfortable silence in classroom.
教室裏有一種令人不安的安靜。
determine 決定、下決心
eg:He determined that he would travel to New York this summer holiday.
他決定今年暑假將旅行到紐約。
