《傲慢与偏见》（Pride and Prejudice）是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀的长篇小说。

小说描写了乡绅班纳特五个待字闺中的千金的生活，主角是二女儿伊丽莎白。她在一次舞会上认识了一位年轻的绅士达西，但是耳闻他为人傲慢，就一直对他心生排斥。经历了一番周折，伊丽莎白终于消除了对达西的偏见，达西也不再傲慢，有情人终成眷属。

这部作品以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说矫揉造作的写作手法，生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和人情世态。它多次被改编成电影和电视剧。

本文节选自《傲慢与偏见》第六十三章。

When her mother went up to her dressing-room at night， she followed her， and made the important communication. Its effect was most extraordinary; for on first hearing it， Mrs. Bennet sat quite still， and unable to utter a syllable. Nor was it under many， many minutes that she could comprehend what she heard; though not in general backward to credit what was for the advantage of her family， or that came in the shape of a lover to any of them. She began at length to recover， to fidget about in her chair， get up， sit down again， wonder， and bless herself.

晚上母亲进化妆室去的时候，伊丽莎白也跟着母亲一起去，把这个重要的消息告诉她。班纳特太太的反应极好。她初听到这消息，只是静静地坐着，一句话也说不出，过了好一会儿，她才听懂了女儿的话，才隐隐约约地明白了又有一个女儿要出嫁了，这对于家里有多少好处。到最后她才完全弄明白了是怎么回事，于是在椅子上坐立不安，一会儿站起来，一会儿又坐下去，一会儿诧异，一会儿又为自己祝福。

"Good gracious！ Lord bless me！ only think！ dear me！ Mr. Darcy！ Who would have thought it！ And is it really true？ Oh！ my sweetest Lizzy！ how rich and how great you will be！ What pin-money， what jewels， what carriages you will have！ Jane's is nothing to it -- nothing at all. I am so pleased -- so happy. Such a charming man！ -- so handsome！ so tall！ -- Oh， my dear Lizzy！ pray apologise for my having disliked him so much before. I hope he will overlook it. Dear， dear Lizzy. A house in town！ Every thing that is charming！ Three daughters married！ Ten thousand a year！ Oh， Lord！ What will become of me. I shall go distracted."

“謝谢老天爷！谢天谢地！且想想看吧！天啊！达西先生！谁想得到哟！真有这回事吗？丽萃，我的心肝宝贝，你马上就要大富大贵了！你将要有多少针线钱，有多少珠宝，多少马车啊！吉英比起来就差得太远了──简直是天上地下。我真高兴──真快乐。这样可爱的丈夫！那么漂亮，那么魁伟！噢，我的好丽萃！……
