　　那斯嘉丽·奥哈拉小姐长得并不美，可是极富于魅力，男人见了她，往往要着迷，就像塔尔顿家那一对双胞胎兄弟似的。

　　But it was an arresting face, pointed¹⁵ of chin, square of jaw¹⁶.

　　可是质地虽然不调和，她那一张脸蛋儿却实在迷人得很，下巴颏儿尖尖的，牙床骨儿方方的。

　　Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes¹⁷ and slightly tilted¹⁸ at the ends.

　　她的眼珠子是一味的淡绿色，不杂一丝儿的茶褐，周围竖着一圈儿粗黑的睫毛，眼角微微有点翘。

　　Above them, her thick black brows slanted¹⁹ upward, cutting a startling oblique²⁰ line in her magnolia-white skin - that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets²¹, veils and mittens²² against hot Georgia suns.

　　上面斜竖着两撇墨黑的蛾眉，在她那木兰花一般白的皮肤上，划出两条异常惹眼的斜线。就是她那一身皮肤，也正是南方女人最最喜爱的，谁要长着这样的皮肤，就要拿帽子、面罩、手套之类当心保护着，舍不得让佐治亚那大热的太阳晒黑。

　　他的朋友达西先生立刻引起全场的注意，因为他身材魁伟，眉清目秀，举止高贵，于是他进场不到五分钟，大家都纷纷传说他每年有一万磅的收入。

　　The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr Bingley.

　　男宾们都称赞他一表人才，女宾们都说他比彬格莱先生俊美得多。

　　And he was looked at with great admiration²⁴ for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased.

　　His nose was aquiline³⁰; and his large black eyes, which in quiet moments showed thought and vivacity³¹, were ablaze³² now with the fiercest hatred³³.

　　还有一个鹰勾鼻子。一双大而黑的眼睛，静时显露出沉思和热情。此刻却闪烁着最凶恶的憎恨的表情。

　　His dark brown hair, growing very low on his forehead, gave him a narrow brow, that in moments of anger looked positively³⁴ wicked.

　　veil these eyes with lovely lashes, which, when drooped³⁹, cast their shadow on the rosy⁴⁰ hue⁴¹ of the cheeks;

　　眼睛上盖着浓密的睫毛，当眼帘低垂时，给玫瑰色的脸颊投去一抹淡淡的阴影；

　　trace a delicate, straight nose, the nostrils⁴² a little open, in an ardent⁴³ aspiration⁴⁴ toward the life of the senses;

　　细巧而挺直的鼻子透出股灵气，鼻翼微鼓，像是对情欲生活的强烈渴望；

　　design a regular mouth, with lips parted graciously over teeth as white as milk;

　　一张端正的小嘴轮廓分明，柔唇微启，露出一口洁白如奶的牙齿；

　　colour the skin with the down of a peach that no hand has touched, and you will have the general aspect of that charming countenance³⁵.

　　皮肤颜色就像未经人手触摸过的蜜桃上的绒衣——这些就是这张美丽的脸蛋给您的大致印象。

　　The hair, black as jet, waving naturally or not, was parted on the forehead in two large folds and draped back over the head, leaving in sight just the tip of the ears, in which there glittered two diamonds, worth four to five thousand francs each.

　　黑玉色的头发，不知是天然的还是梳理成的，像波浪一样地鬈曲着，在额前分梳成两大绺，一直拖到脑后，露出两个耳垂，耳垂上闪烁着两颗各值四五千法郎的钻石耳环。
