And when her sisters abused it as ugly, she added, with perfect unconcern, "Oh! but there were two or three much uglier in the shop; and when I have bought some prettier coloured satin to trim it with fresh, I think it will be very tolerable. Besides, it will not much signify what one wears this summer after the ----shire have left Meryton, and they are going in a fortnight."
姐姐们都说她这顶帽子很难看,她却毫不在乎地说:“噢,那家铺子里还有两三顶,比这一顶还要难看得多;待我去买点儿颜色漂亮的缎子来,把它重新装饰一下,那就过得去了。再说,某某郡的民兵团,两星期之内就要开走了,他们一离开麦里屯之后,夏季随便你穿戴些什么都无所谓。”
"Are they indeed?" cried Elizabeth, with the greatest satisfaction.
“他们就要开走了,真的吗?”伊丽莎白极其满意地嚷道。
"They are going to be encamped near Brighton; and I do so want papa to take us all there for the summer! It would be such a delicious scheme, and I dare say would hardly cost any thing at all. Mamma would like to go too, of all things! Only think what a miserable summer else we shall have!"
“他们就要驻扎到白利屯去;我真希望爸爸带我们大家到那儿去消暑!这真是个妙透了的打算,或许还用不着花钱。妈妈也一定非要去不可!你想,否则我们这一个夏天多苦闷呀!”
"Yes," thought Elizabeth, "that would be a delightful scheme, indeed, and completely do for us at once. Good Heaven! Brighton, and a whole campful of soldiers, to us, who have been overset already by one poor regiment of militia, and the monthly balls of Meryton."
“话说得是,”伊丽莎白想道;“这真是个好打算,马上就会叫我们忙死了。老天爷啊!光是麦里屯一个可怜的民兵团和每个月开几次跳舞会,就弄得我们神魂颠倒了,怎么当得起白利屯和那整营的官兵!”
"Now I have got some news for you," said Lydia, as they sat down to table. "What do you think? It is excellent news, capital news, and about a certain person that we all like."
大家坐定以后,丽迪雅说:“现在我有点儿消息要报告你们,你们猜猜看是什么消息?这是个好透了的消息,头等重要的消息,说的是关于我们大家都喜欢的某一个人。”
