They had now entered a beautiful walk by the side of the water, and every step was bringing forward a nobler fall of ground, or a finer reach of the woods to which they were approaching; but it was some time before Elizabeth was sensible of any of it; and, though she answered mechanically to the repeated appeals of her uncle and aunt, and seemed to direct her eyes to such objects as they pointed out, she distinguished no part of the scene. Her thoughts were all fixed on that one spot of Pemberley House, whichever it might be, where Mr. Darcy then was. She longed to know what at that moment was passing in his mind; in what manner he thought of her, and whether, in defiance of every thing, she was still dear to him. Perhaps he had been civil only because he felt himself at ease; yet there had been that in his voice which was not like ease. Whether he had felt more of pain or of pleasure in seeing her, she could not tell, but he certainly had not seen her with composure.
他们现在已经走到河边一条美丽的小径上,地面逐渐低下去,眼前的风光便越发显得壮丽,树林的景色也越发显得幽雅,他们慢慢地向前走,舅父母沿途一再招呼伊丽莎白欣赏如此这般的景色,伊丽莎白虽然也随口答应,把眼睛朝着他们指定的方向张望一下,可是她好久都辨别不出一景一物,简直无心去看。她一心只想着彭伯里大厦的一个角落里,不管是哪一个角落,只要是达西先生现在待在那儿的地方。她真想知道他这时候在想些什么,他心目中怎样看待她,他是否会冒天下之大不韪,依旧对她有好感。他也许只是自以为心头一无牵挂,所以对她特别客气,可是听他说话的声调,自有一种说不出的意味,又不象是一无牵挂的样子。她不知道他见了她是痛苦多于快乐,还是快乐多于痛苦,可是看他那副样子,决不象是心神镇定。
At length, however, the remarks of her companions on her absence of mind roused her, and she felt the necessity of appearing more like herself.
后来舅父母怪她怎么心不在焉,这才提醒了她,觉得应该装得象个样子。
They entered the woods, and bidding adieu to the river for a while, ascended some of the higher grounds; whence, in spots where the opening of the trees gave the eye power to wander, were many charming views of the valley, the opposite hills, with the long range of woods overspreading many, and occasionally part of the stream.
他们走进树林,踏上山坡,跟这一湾溪流暂时告别。从树林的空隙间望出去,可以看到山谷中各处的景色。对面一座座小山,有些小山上都长满了整片的树林,蜿蜒曲折的溪流又不时映入眼帘。
