Not all that Mrs. Bennet, however, with the assistance of her five daughters, could ask on the subject was sufficient to draw from her husband any satisfactory description of Mr. Bingley. They attack ed him in various ways; with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions , and distant surmise s; but he elude d the skill of them all; and they were at last obliged to accept the second-hand intelligence of their neighbour Lady Lucas. Her report was highly favourable. Sir William had been delighted with him. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable , and to crown the whole , he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley’s heart were entertain ed. ‘If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield,’ said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, ‘and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for.’
尽管班纳特太太有了五个女儿帮腔，向她丈夫问起彬格莱先生这样那样，可是丈夫的回答总不能叫她满意。母女们想尽办法对付他——赤裸裸的问句，巧妙的设想，离题很远的猜测，什么办法都用到了；可是他并没有落入她们的圈套。最后她们迫不得已，只得听取邻居卢卡斯太太的二手情报。她的报道全是好话。据说威廉爵士很喜欢他。他非常年轻，长得特别英俊，为人又极其谦和，最重要的一点是，他打算请一大群客人来参加下次的舞会。这真是再好不过的事；喜欢跳舞，无疑就容易坠入爱河；大家都热烈地希望获得彬格莱先生的心。 「我只要能看到一个女儿在尼日斐花园幸福地安了家，」班纳特太太对她的丈夫说，「看到其他几个也匹配得这样门当户对，此生就没有别的奢望了。」

An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched ; and already had Mrs. Bennet planned the course s that were to do credit to her housekeeping , when an answer arrived which defer red it all. Mr. Bingley was obliged to be in town the following day, and consequently unable to accept the honour of their invitation, &c. Mrs. Bennet was quite disconcerted . She could not imagine what business he could have in town so soon after his arrival in Hertfordshire; and she began to fear that he might be always flying about from one place to another, and never settled at Netherfield as he ought to be. Lady Lucas quiet ed her fears a little by starting the idea of his being gone to London only to get a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed that Mr. Bingley was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly. The girls grieved over such a number of ladies; but were comforted the day before the ball by hearing, that instead of twelve, he had brought only six with him from London, his five sisters and a cousin. And when the party entered the assembly room , it consisted of only five altogether; Mr. Bingley, his two sisters, the husband of the eldest, and another young man.
班府不久就发请贴请他吃饭；班纳特太太已经计划了好几道菜，每道菜都足以增加她的体面，说明她是个会当家的贤主妇，可是事不凑巧，彬格莱先生第二天非进城不可，他们这一番盛意叫他无法领情，因此回信给他们，说是要迟一迟再说。班纳特太太大为不安。她想，此人刚来到哈福德郡，怎么就要进城有事，于是她开始担心了；照理他应该在尼日斐花园安安定定住下来，看现在的情形，莫不是他经常都得这样东漂西泊，行踪不定？亏得卢卡斯太太对她说，可能他是到伦敦去邀请那一大群客人来参加舞会，这才使她稍许减轻了一些顾虑。不久就有消息称，彬格莱先生将要带十二位女士和七位男士来参加舞会。带了这么多女宾，小姐们不免悲伤起来，但是舞会前一天，纷纷传说彬格莱先生并没有带来十二个女宾，仅仅只带来六个，其中五个是他自己的姐妹，一个是表姐妹，这个消息才使小姐们放下心来。后来等到这群贵客走进舞场的时候，却一共只有五个人——彬格莱先生，他的两个姐妹，姐夫，还有另外一个青年。
1. An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched.
这个句子可以学习一下。表示「班府上不久就发请贴请他吃饭」未必就要亦步亦趋地写成「Mr Bennet 」为主语的主动态句子,在主体并不重要的时候，用被动语态也是可以的。

The gentlemen pronounce d him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud, to be above his company , and above being pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding , disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend.
彬格莱先生仪表堂堂，大有绅士风度，而且和颜悦色，没有拘泥做作的习气。他的姐妹也都是些优雅的女性，态度落落大方。他的姐夫赫斯脱只不过像个普通绅士，不大引人注目，但是他的朋友达西却立刻引起全场的注意，因为他身材魁伟，眉清目秀，举止高贵，于是他进场不到五分钟，大家都纷纷传说他每年有一万磅的收入。男宾们都称赞他一表人才，女宾们都说他比彬格莱先生英俊得多。人们差不多有半个晚上都带着爱慕的目光看着他。最后人们才发现他为人骄傲，看不起人，巴结不上他，因此对他产生了厌恶，他那众望所归的极盛一时的场面才黯然失色下来。他既然摆起那么一副讨人嫌惹人厌的面貌，那么，不管他在德比郡有多大的产，也挽救不了他，况且和他的朋友比起来，他更没有什么大不了。

Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room; he was lively and unreserved , danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decide d. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and every body hoped that he would never come there again. Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of his general behaviour, was sharpened into particular resentment, by his having slight ed one of her daughters.
彬格莱先生很快就熟悉了全场所有的主要人物。他生气勃勃，为人又不拘泥，每一场舞都少不了要跳。使他气恼的是，舞会怎么散场得这样早。他又谈起他自己要在尼日斐花园开一次舞会。他这些可爱的地方自然会使人产生好感。他跟他的朋友是多么显著的对照啊！达西先生只跟赫斯脱太太跳了一次舞，跟彬格莱小姐跳了一次舞，此外就在室内踱来踱去，偶而找他自己人说话，人家要介绍他跟别的小姐跳舞，他怎么也不肯。大家都断定他是世界上最骄傲，最讨人厌的人，希望他不要再来。其中对他反感最厉害的是班纳特太太，她不喜欢他的举止行为。达西侮辱了她的一个女儿，她便变得尤为憎恨他。
