转载自原著:
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
--Chapter 1
I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.
--Chapter 5
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
--Chapter 5
If a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal it, he must find it out.
--Chapter 6
Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.
--Chapter 6
Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend. Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness. Of this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.
--Chapter 6
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.
--Chapter 6
If I endeavor 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.
--Chapter 7
Nothing is more deceitful ... than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast.
--Chapter 10
The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.
--Chapter 10
You expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine, but which I have never acknowledged.
--Chapter 10
To yield readily--easily--to the persuasion of a friend is no merit.... To yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of either.
--Chapter 10
Elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. He really believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he should be in some danger.
--Chapter 10
Good opinion once lost, is lost forever.
--Chapter 11
There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil— a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome.
--Chapter 11
It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are the result of previous study?
--Chapter 14
Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society.
--Chapter 15
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.
--Chapter 17
It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples.
--Chapter 18
It is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion, to be secure of judging properly at first.
--Chapter 18
I do assure you, Sir, that I have no pretension whatever to that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart.
--Chapter 19
The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
--Chapter 24
Mr. Collins is a conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man; you know he is, as well as I do; and you must feel, as well as I do, that the woman who married him cannot have a proper way of thinking.
--Chapter 24
We must not be so ready to fancy ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does.
--Chapter 24
We do not suffer by accident. It does not often happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of independent fortune to think no more of a girl whom he was violently in love with only a few days before.
--Chapter 25
I never saw a more promising inclination; he was growing quite inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her. Every time they met, it was more decided and remarkable. At his own ball he offended two or three young ladies, by not asking them to dance; and I spoke to him twice myself, without receiving an answer. Could there be finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?
--Chapter 25
Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains?
--Chapter 27
Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing after all.
--Chapter 27
My fingers ... do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women's do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault- because I would not take the trouble of practising.
--Chapter 31
More than once did Elizabeth, in her ramble within the park, unexpectedly meet Mr. Darcy. She felt all the perverseness of the mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought, and, to prevent its ever happening again, took care to inform him at first that it was a favourite haunt of hers. How it could occur a second time, therefore, was very odd! Yet it did, and even a third. It seemed like wilful ill-nature, or a voluntary penance, for on these occasions it was not merely a few formal inquiries and an awkward pause and then away, but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her.
--Chapter 33
Elizabeth's astonishment was beyond expression. She stared, coloured, doubted, and was silent. This he considered sufficient encouragement; and the avowal of all that he felt, and had long felt for her, immediately followed. He spoke well; but there were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed; and he was not more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority— of its being a degradation— of the family obstacles which judgement had always opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his suit.
--Chapter 34
The tumult of her mind, was now painfully great. She knew not how to support herself, and from actual weakness sat down and cried for half-an-hour. Her astonishment, as she reflected on what had passed, was increased by every review of it. That she should receive an offer of marriage from Mr. Darcy! That he should have been in love with her for so many months! So much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of all the objections which had made him prevent his friend's marrying her sister, and which must appear at least with equal force in his own case— was almost incredible! It was gratifying to have inspired unconsciously so strong an affection. But his pride, his abominable pride— his shameless avowal of what he had done with respect to Jane— his unpardonable assurance in acknowledging, though he could not justify it, and the unfeeling manner in which he had mentioned Mr. Wickham, his cruelty towards whom he had not attempted to deny, soon overcame the pity which the consideration of his attachment had for a moment excited.
--Chapter 34
He expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied her; his style was not penitent, but haughty. It was all pride and insolence.
--Chapter 36
Elizabeth was pleased to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend; for though Jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world, she knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him.
--Chapter 55
I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.
--Chapter 56
Neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude ... have any possible claim on me.
--Chapter 56
For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?
--Chapter 57
They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects.
--Chapter 58
Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
--Chapter 58
I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.
--Chapter 58
I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.
--Chapter 60
You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking and looking, and thinking for your approbation alone. I roused, and interested you, because I was so unlike them.
--Chapter 60
《理智与情感》
简介:《理智与情感》虽是简·奥斯汀的第一部小说,但写作技巧已经相当熟练。故事中的每一个情节,经作者的巧妙构思,表面的因果关系与隐藏在幕后的本质缘故均自然合理。女主人公根据表面现象产生合情合理的推测和判断,细心的读者虽然不时产生种种疑惑,但思绪会自然而然随着好的观察而发展,等着最后结果出现时,与表面现象截然不同,造成了出乎意料的喜剧效果。如果反过来重读一遍,会发现导致必然结果的因素早见于字里行间。小说的情节围绕着两位女主人公的择偶活动展开,着力揭示出当时英国社会潮流中,以婚配作为女子寻求经济保障、提高经济地位的恶习,重门第而不顾女子感情和做人权利的丑陋时尚。小说中的女主角均追求与男子思想感情的平等交流与沟通,要求社会地位上的平等权利,坚持独立观察、分析和选择男子的自由。在当时的英国,这几乎无异于反抗的呐喊。如同书名里所体现的那样,故事集中表现了“理智”与“情感”的矛盾冲突。以玛丽安为代表的人物是理智不足而感情有余;以约翰·达什伍德夫妇为代表的人物是理智有余而感情不足;而以威洛比为代表的人物在感情上又是十分虚伪,表面上似乎很有情感,实际上却冷漠无情,自私透顶。作者在故事里对珍重感情的人报以赞扬,尽管对这些人在理智上的欠缺也不时加以讽刺,然而对缺少感情仅有理智或是在感情上虚伪的人,却表现出了鄙夷的态度。作者最终赞赏的是女主人公埃莉诺,因为她即重感情又有理智。这里表现了作者在这个问题上的理想,即是人不能没有感情,但感情应受理智的制约。
《傲慢与偏见》
小乡绅班纳特有五个待嫁闺中的千金,班纳特太太整天操心着为女儿物色称心如意的丈夫。
新来的邻居彬格莱(Bingley)是个有钱的单身汉,他立即成了班纳特太太追猎的目标。在一次舞会上,彬格莱对班纳特家的大女儿吉英(Jane)一见钟情,班纳特太太为此欣喜若狂。
参加舞会的还有彬格莱的好友达西(Darcy)。他仪表堂堂,非常富有,收入是彬格莱的数倍,许多姑娘纷纷向他投去羡慕的目光;但他非常骄傲,认为她们都不配做他的舞伴,其中包括吉英的妹妹伊丽莎白(Elizabeth)。达西(Darcy)对彬格莱说,她(伊丽莎白)长的可以“容忍”,但还没到能引起他兴趣的程度)。伊丽莎白自尊心很强,决定不去理睬这个傲慢的家伙。可是不久,达西对她活泼可爱的举止产生了好感,在另一次舞会上主动请她同舞,伊丽莎白同意了和达西跳了一支舞,达西由此而逐渐对伊丽莎白改变了看法。
彬格莱的妹妹卡罗琳(Caroline)一心嫁给达西,而达西对她十分冷漠。她发现达西对伊丽莎白有好感后,怒火中烧,决意从中阻挠。达西虽然欣赏伊丽莎白,但却无法忍受她的母亲以及妹妹们粗俗、无礼的举止,担心吉英只是看上了彬格莱的收入和家产,并非是钟情于彬格莱,便劝说彬格莱放弃娶吉英。在妹妹和好友达西的劝说下,彬格莱不辞而别,去了伦敦,但吉英对他还是一片深情。
班纳特先生没有儿子,根据当时法律,只有男性可以继承财产,而班纳特家的女儿们仅仅只能得到五千英镑作为嫁妆,因此他的家产将由远亲柯林斯(Collins)继承。柯林斯古板平庸又善于谄媚奉承,依靠权势当上了牧师。他向伊丽莎白求婚,遭拒绝后,马上与她的密友夏绿蒂(Charlotte)结婚,这也给伊丽莎白带来不少烦恼。
附近小镇的民团联队里有个英俊潇洒的青年军官韦翰(Wickham),人人都夸他,伊丽莎白也对他产生了好感。一天,他对伊丽莎白说,他父亲是达西家的总管,达西的父亲曾在遗嘱中建议达西给他一笔财产,从而体面地成为一名神职人员(其实是韦翰自己把那笔遗产挥霍殆尽,还企图勾引达西的妹妹乔治安娜私奔)。而这笔财产却被达西吞没了。伊丽莎白听后,对达西更加反感。
柯林斯夫妇请伊丽莎白去他们家作客,伊丽莎白在那里遇到达西的姨妈咖苔琳(Catherine)夫人,并且被邀去她的罗辛斯山庄做客。不久,又见到了来那里过复活节的达西。达西无法抑制自己对伊丽莎白的爱慕之情,向她求婚,但态度还是那么傲慢,加之伊丽莎白之前便对他有严重偏见,便坚决地谢绝了他的求婚。这一打击使达西第一次认识到骄傲自负所带来的恶果,他痛苦地离开了她,临走前留下一封长信作了几点解释:他承认彬格莱不辞而别是他促使的,原因是他不满班纳特太太和班纳特小姐们的轻浮和鄙俗(不包括吉英和伊丽莎白),只是看上了彬格莱每年五千镑的收入与房产,并且认为吉英并没有真正钟情于彬格莱;韦翰说的却全是谎言,事实是韦翰自己把那笔遗产挥霍殆尽,还企图勾引达西的妹妹乔治安娜私奔。伊丽莎白读信后十分后悔,既对错怪达西感到内疚,又为母亲和妹妹的行为羞愧。
第二年夏天,伊丽莎白随舅父母来到达西的庄园彭伯里,在管家的口了解到达西在当地很受人们尊敬,而且对他妹妹乔治安娜非常爱护。伊丽莎白在树林中偶遇刚到家的达西,发现他的态度大大改观,对她的舅父母彬彬有礼,渐渐地她对他的偏见消除了。正当其时,伊丽莎白接到家信,说小妹丽迪雅随身负累累赌债的韦翰私奔了。这种家丑使伊丽莎白非常难堪,以为达西会更瞧不起自己。但事实出乎她的意料,达西得知上述消息以后,便想办法替她解决了难题——不仅替韦翰还清赌债,还给了他一笔巨款,让他与丽迪雅完婚。自此以后,伊丽莎白往日对达西的种种偏见统统化为真诚之爱。
彬格莱和吉英经过一番周折,言归于好,一对情人沉浸在欢乐之中。而一心想让自己的女儿)嫁给达西的咖苔琳夫人匆匆赶来,蛮横地要伊丽莎白保证不与达西结婚。伊丽莎白对这一无理要求断然拒绝。此事传到达西耳中。他知道伊丽莎白已经改变了对自己的看法(他日后对伊丽莎白表白:You are too generous to trifle with me,你为人太真诚大方,不会以此来愚弄我),诚恳地再次向她求婚。到此,一对曾因傲慢和偏见而延搁婚事的有情人终成眷属。
《曼斯菲尔德庄园》
简介:《曼斯菲尔德庄园》与作者其他小说一样以男女青年的恋爱婚姻为题材。但是,比较而言,本书情节更为复杂,突发性事件更加集中,社会讽剌意味也更加浓重。小说最后以范妮和埃德蒙的美满姻缘为结局,但在故事发展的过程中,作者的讽刺笔锋主要指向了以富足人家为代表的英国上流社会,揭示了他们的矫揉造作和荒唐可笑。
《爱玛》
简介:爱玛是个既漂亮,聪明又有钱的年轻姑娘,由于具有这般得天独厚的条件,不禁有点随心所欲,她自己打定主意不结婚,却热衷于给别人做媒,每每不是按照情理而是凭着异想天开或一时冲动,乱点鸳鸯谱,结果闹出了许多笑话,吃了不少苦头。 不过,爱玛虽然没给人撮合成一门亲事,但她最后却坠入了情网,与奈特利先生喜结良缘,跟另外两对青年男女一起,构成了爱玛的喜剧结局。
《诺桑觉寺》
简介:《诺桑觉寺》与奥斯丁其他几部长篇一样,故事围绕着男女主人公的爱情的发展而越来越扣人心弦。天真得有点傻的女主人公凯瑟琳是家境小康的牧师之女,长到十七岁了,还没有遇上能打动她少女心扉的男主人公,因此生活平平淡淡。然而,她的好朋友,当地的富有人家艾伦夫妇俩要到巴思去度假,带她一起外出。巴思的社交场所让她开了眼界,并结识了富家之子、牧师亨利蒂尔尼与他妹妹艾丽诺?蒂尔尼,他们很快成了好朋友,凯瑟琳并且爱上了亨利?蒂尔尼。凯瑟琳在离家三个月之后,在没有朋友陪伴的情景下,孤身一人搭乘邮车,于一个星期日之夜回到了富勒顿。心地善良的母亲见女儿回家已是判若两人,总以为她是留恋外面世界的诱人,而竟猜不到十七岁的女儿的感情世界发生了很大的变化。亨利?蒂尔尼的意外出现,终于让凯瑟琳父母明白,他们必须考虑是否要同意女儿的婚事了。
《劝导》
简介
:本书描写了一个曲折多磨的爱情故事。贵族小姐安妮·埃利奥特同青年军官温特沃思倾心相爱,订下了婚约。可是,她的父亲沃尔特爵士和教母拉塞尔夫人嫌温特沃思出身卑贱,没有财产,极力反对这门婚事。安妮出于“谨慎”,接受了教母的劝导,忍痛同心上人解除了婚约。八年后,在战争中升了官、发了财的温特沃思上校休役回乡,随姐姐、姐夫当了沃尔特爵士的房客。他虽说对安妮怨忿未消,但两人不忘旧情,终于历尽曲折,排除干扰,结成良缘。
