《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》第五十六章。

Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen

AS soon as they were gone， Elizabeth walked out to recover her spirits; or in other words， to dwell without interruption on those subjects that must deaden them more. Mr. Darcy's behaviour astonished and vexed her.

他們一走，伊丽莎白便到屋外去留达，好让自己精神舒畅一下，换句话说，也就是不停去想那些足以使她精神更加沉闷的念头。达西先生的行为叫她惊奇，也叫她烦恼。

"Why， if he came only to be silent， grave， and indifferent，" said she， "did he come at all？"

她想：“要是他这次来是为了要沉默寡言，庄严冷淡，那他又何必来？”

"He could be still amiable， still pleasing， to my uncle and aunt， when he was in town; and why not to me？ If he fears me， why come hither？ If he no longer cares for me， why silent？ Teazing， teazing， man！ I will think no more about him."

“他在城里的时候，对我的舅父母依旧很和气，很讨人喜欢，怎么反而对我两样？如果他已经无心于我，又何必有话不说？好一个惯会作弄人的男子！今后我再也不去想念他了。”

Her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach of her sister， who joined her with a cheerful look， which shewed her better satisfied with their visitors， than Elizabeth.

姐姐走近前来，使她不得不把这个念头暂时搁在一旁。她一见姐姐神色欣然，便知道这两位贵客虽使她自己失意，却使她姐姐较为得意。

"Now，" said she， "that this first meeting is over， I feel perfectly easy. I know my own strength， and I shall never be embarrassed again by his coming. I am glad he dines here on Tuesday. It will then be publicly seen that， on both sides， we meet only as common and indifferent acquaintance."

姐姐说：“第一次见面总算过去了，我倒觉得非常自在。这次我既然能够应付，等他下次再来，我便不会发窘。他星期二能到这儿来吃饭，我倒很高兴，因为到那时候，大家都会看出，我和他不过是无所谓的普通朋友。……
