"That it ought not to be attempted. Mr. Darcy has not authorised me to make his communication public. On the contrary, every particular relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to myself; and if I endeavour to undeceive people as to the rest of his conduct, who will believe me? The general prejudice against Mr. Darcy is so violent, that it would be the death of half the good people in Meryton to attempt to place him in an amiable light. I am not equal to it. Wickham will soon be gone; and therefore it will not signify to anyone here what he really is. Some time hence it will be all found out, and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before. At present I will say nothing about it. "

“我也觉得不必如此。达西先生并没有允许我把他所说的话公开外界声张。他反而吩咐我说,凡是牵涉到他妹妹的事,都要尽量保守秘密;说到韦翰其他方面的品行,我即使要对大家说老实话,又有谁会相信?一般人对达西先生都存着那么深的成见,你要叫别人对他有好感,麦里屯有一半人死也不愿意。我真没有办法。好在韦翰马上就要走了,他的真面目究竟怎样,与任何人都无关。总会有一天真相大白,那时候我们就可以讥笑人们为什么那么蠢,没有早些知道。目前我可绝口不提。”

"You are quite right. To have his errors made public might ruin him for ever. He is now, perhaps, sorry for what he has done, and anxious to reestablish a character. We must not make him desperate. "

“你的话对极了。要揭露他的错误,可能就会断送了他的一生。也许他现在已经后悔,痛下决心,重新做人。我们千万不要弄得他走投无路。”

1.on the contrary 正相反 It doesn't seem ugly to me; on the contrary, I think it's rather beautiful. 我觉得它并不丑,恰恰相反,它挺美。

2.attempt to do sth. 尝试去做某事 Before they fled the country, the enemy vainly attempted to destroy all the factories. 敌人在逃往国外前,妄图把所有工厂都毁掉。

3.be equal to 胜任 The task took quick thinking, but John was equal to it. 这项任务需要思想敏捷,但约翰胜任得了。
