Гордость и предубеждение: метод параллельного погружения

Mr. Bingley followed his advice. Mr. Darcy walked off; and Elizabeth remained with no very cordial feelings towards him. She told the story, however, with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous.

The evening altogether passed off pleasantly to the whole family. (Вечер в целом прошёл приятно для всей семьи; altogether – в целом; passed off pleasantly – прошёл приятно.) Mrs. Bennet had seen her eldest daughter much admired by the Netherfield party. (Миссис Беннет видела, как её старшая дочь вызывала большое восхищение у гостей из Нэзерфилда; much admired – очень восхищались; Netherfield party – компания из Нэзерфилда.) Mr. Bingley had danced with her twice, (Мистер Бингли танцевал с ней дважды.) and she had been distinguished by his sisters. (и она была отмечена вниманием со стороны его сестёр; distinguished by – отмечена, выделена кем-то.) Jane was as much gratified by this as her mother could be, though in a quieter way. (Джейн была так же довольна этим, как и её мать, хотя выражала это более сдержанно; gratified – довольна, удовлетворена; in a quieter way – более спокойно, сдержанно.) Elizabeth felt Jane’s pleasure. (Элизабет разделяла радость Джейн; felt … pleasure – прочувствовала радость.) Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; (Мэри услышала, как мисс Бингли назвали её самой образованной девушкой в округе; accomplished girl – образованная, хорошо воспитанная девушка.) and Catherine and Lydia had been fortunate enough to be never without partners, (а Кэтрин и Лидия имели счастье всё время быть при партнёрах; fortunate enough – достаточно удачливы; never without partners – никогда не оставались без кавалеров.) which was all that they had yet learnt to care for at a ball. (а это было всё, что они пока научились ценить на балах; learnt to care for – научились считать важным.)

They returned, therefore, in good spirits to Longbourn, (Поэтому они вернулись в хорошем настроении в Лонгборн; in good spirits – в хорошем настроении.) the village where they lived, and of which they were the principal inhabitants. (в деревню, где они жили и были главными жителями; principal inhabitants – главные, наиболее заметные жители.) They found Mr. Bennet still up. (Они застали мистера Беннета ещё не спящим; still up – ещё не лёг спать.) With a book, he was regardless of time; (С книгой он забывал о времени; regardless of time – не замечал времени.) and on the present occasion he had a good deal of curiosity (и в этот вечер у него было изрядное любопытство; on the present occasion – в данном случае, на этот раз; a good deal of curiosity – немалый интерес.) as to the event of an evening which had raised such splendid expectations. (к событию вечера, от которого ждали столь блистательных результатов; event of an evening – исход вечера; splendid expectations – блестящие ожидания.) He had rather hoped that all his wife’s views on the stranger would be disappointed; (Он, скорее, надеялся, что все надежды жены на незнакомца не оправдаются; had rather hoped – скорее надеялся; views on the stranger – представления о незнакомце; would be disappointed – окажутся обманутыми.) but he soon found that he had a very different story to hear. (но вскоре понял, что услышит совсем иную историю; a very different story – совсем другая история.)

“Oh, my dear Mr. Bennet,” («О, мой дорогой мистер Беннет,») as she entered the room, (– сказала она, входя в комнату; entered the room – вошла в комнату.) “we have had a most delightful evening, a most excellent ball. (у нас был совершенно восхитительный вечер, просто превосходный бал; delightful – восхитительный; excellent – превосходный.) I wish you had been there. (Жаль, что тебя там не было; I wish you had been – жаль, что ты был не…) Jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. (Джейн вызывала такое восхищение – ничего с этим не сравнится; was admired – вызывала восхищение; nothing could be like it – это было бесподобно.) Everybody said how well she looked; (Все говорили, как хорошо она выглядела.) and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice. (А мистер Бингли счёл её очень красивой и танцевал с ней дважды; quite beautiful – весьма красивой; danced with her twice – дважды танцевал с ней.) Only think of that, my dear: he actually danced with her twice; (Только подумай об этом, дорогой: он действительно танцевал с ней дважды; only think of that – только представь; actually – на самом деле, в самом деле.) and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second time. (и она была единственным созданием в комнате, которую он пригласил второй раз; only creature – единственное созданием ; asked a second time – пригласил ещё раз.) First of all, he asked Miss Lucas. (Сначала он пригласил мисс Лукас.)

“Oh, my dear Mr. Bennet,” as she entered the room, “we have had a most delightful evening, a most excellent ball. I wish you had been there. Jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. Everybody said how well she looked; and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice. Only think of that, my dear: he actually danced with her twice; and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second time. First of all, he asked Miss Lucas.

I was so vexed to see him stand up with her; (Я была так раздражена, увидев, что он встал в пару с ней; vexed – раздосадована, раздражена; stand up with – танцевать с кем-то.) but, however, he did not admire her at all; indeed, nobody can, you know; (но всё же он вовсе ею не восхищался; в самом деле, никто не может – ты же знаешь; did not admire her at all – совсем ею не восхищался.) and he seemed quite struck with Jane as she was going down the dance. (и он, казалось, был поражён Джейн, когда она проходила мимо в танце; struck with – поражён, впечатлён.) So he inquired who she was, and got introduced, and asked her for the two next. (Он спросил, кто она такая, с ним познакомили, и он пригласил её на два следующих танца; inquired – поинтересовался; got introduced – с ним познакомили; the two next – два следующих танца.) Then, the two third he danced with Miss King, and the two fourth with Maria Lucas, (Затем два третьих танца он станцевал с мисс Кинг, два четвёртых – с Марией Лукас.) and the two fifth with Jane again, and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the Boulanger–” (а два пятых снова с Джейн, два шестых – с Лиззи, и «Буланже» – [народный французский танец]; Boulanger – танец «Буланже», обычно завершающий бал.)

“If he had had any compassion for me,” cried her husband impatiently, («Если бы у него было хоть капля сострадания ко мне, – воскликнул её муж с нетерпением; had had – если бы у него было (прошедшее сослагательное наклонение); compassion – сострадание; impatiently – нетерпеливо.) “he would not have danced half so much! (он бы и наполовину столько не танцевал!; would not have danced – не стал бы танцевать (в прошедшем времени); half so much – наполовину столько.) For God’s sake, say no more of his partners. (Ради Бога, не говори больше о его партнёршах; for God’s sake – ради Бога; say no more – не говори больше.) O that he had sprained his ancle in the first dance!” (О, если бы он вывихнул лодыжку на первом танце!; sprained his ancle – вывихнул лодыжку.)

“Oh, my dear,” continued Mrs. Bennet, («О, дорогой, – продолжала миссис Беннет,) “I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively handsome! (я просто в восторге от него. Он такой необычайно красивый!; delighted – в восторге; excessively – чрезмерно, очень.) and his sisters are charming women. (а его сёстры – прелестные женщины.) I never in my life saw anything more elegant than their dresses. (Никогда в жизни я не видела ничего более изысканного, чем их платья; more elegant than – более элегантное, чем.) I dare say the lace upon Mrs. Hurst’s gown–” (Думаю, кружево на платье миссис Хёрст…; I dare say – осмелюсь сказать, думаю; lace – кружево; gown – платье.)

“If he had had any compassion for me,” cried her husband impatiently, “he would not have danced half so much! For God’s sake, say no more of his partners. O that he had sprained his ancle in the first dance!”

“Oh, my dear,” continued Mrs. Bennet, “I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively handsome! and his sisters are charming women. I never in my life saw anything more elegant than their dresses. I dare say the lace upon Mrs. Hurst’s gown–”

Here she was interrupted again. (Тут её снова перебили.) Mr. Bennet protested against any description of finery. (Мистер Беннет выразил протест против всякого описания нарядов; protested against – выразил протест против; finery – украшения, роскошные наряды.) She was therefore obliged to seek another branch of the subject, (Поэтому ей пришлось обратиться к другой теме; was obliged – была вынуждена; branch of the subject – направление беседы.) and related, with much bitterness of spirit, and some exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of Mr. Darcy. (и с большой горечью (и некоторым преувеличением) рассказала о возмутительной грубости мистера Дарси; bitterness of spirit – душевная горечь; exaggeration – преувеличение; shocking rudeness – возмутительная грубость.)

“But I can assure you,” she added, («Но я тебя уверяю, – добавила она; I can assure you – уверяю тебя.) “that Lizzy does not lose much by not suiting his fancy; (что Лиззи особенно ничего не теряет оттого, что не пришлась ему по вкусу; lose much – много терять; suiting his fancy – прийтись ему по вкусу.) for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. (ведь он – крайне неприятный, ужасный человек, вовсе не заслуживающий стараний; disagreeable – неприятный; horrid – ужасный; worth pleasing – стоящий того, чтобы ему угождать.) So high and so conceited, that there was no enduring him! (Такой надменный и самодовольный, что его невозможно было выносить!; conceited – самодовольный; no enduring him – невозможно было терпеть.) He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very great! (Он ходил туда-сюда, воображая, какой он важный!; fancying himself – воображая себя.) Not handsome enough to dance with! (Не достаточно красив, чтобы танцевать с кем-то!) I wish you had been there, my dear, to have given him one of your set-downs. (Жаль, что тебя там не было, дорогой, чтобы ты осадил его как умеешь; set-down – резкий, язвительный ответ.) I quite detest the man.” (Я просто терпеть не могу этого человека; detest – ненавижу, испытываю отвращение.)

“But I can assure you,” she added, “that Lizzy does not lose much by not suiting his fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited, that there was no enduring him! He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so very great! Not handsome enough to dance with!
