A Walk in the Lane

Zhǐyǒu wǒmen liǎng gè rén le… xiànzài bù shuō, jiù méi jīhuì le.

Just the two of us now… If I don't speak now, I never will.

Dáxī xiānsheng, wǒ bìxū xièxie nín. Wèile Lìdíyà, nín zuò le nàme duō.

Mr. Darcy, I must thank you. You did so much for Lydia.

Nín zhīdào le? Wǒ bù xiǎng ràng nín zhīdào de.

You know? I never meant you to know.

Shì Lìdíyà shuō chūlai de. Wǒmen quán jiā dōu yīnggāi xièxie nín.

Lydia let it slip. My whole family owes you thanks.

Nín de jiārén bú qiàn wǒ shénme. Wǒ zuò zhèxiē, zhǐshì wèile nín yí gè rén.

Your family owe me nothing. Whatever I did, I did for you alone.

Yīlìshābái hóng zhe liǎn, shuō bu chū huà lai.

Elizabeth colored, and could not speak.

Rúguǒ nín de xīn hái gēn sìyuè yíyàng, qǐng xiànzài jiù gàosu wǒ.

If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once.

Wǒ de xīn méiyǒu biàn. Kěshì nín zhǐyào shuō yí gè zì, wǒ jiù yǒngyuǎn bù tí le.

My own feelings have not changed. But one word from you, and I will never speak of this again.

Dáxī xiānsheng… cóng sìyuè dào xiànzài, wǒ de xīn yǐjīng wánquán biàn le.

Mr. Darcy… since April, my feelings have changed completely.

Nín de huà, ràng wǒ yòu gāoxìng, yòu gǎndòng.

What you've said makes me so happy, and so moved.

Yīlìshābái…

Elizabeth…

Tāmen yìzhí wǎng qián zǒu, bù zhīdào zǒu dào le nǎr.

They walked on and on, without knowing where.

Shì wǒ yímā ràng wǒ yǒu le xīwàng. Tā shuō, nǐ zěnme yě bù dāying tā.

It was my aunt who gave me hope. She told me you wouldn't promise her anything.

Rúguǒ nǐ zhēn bù xiǎng jià gěi wǒ, nǐ yídìng huì zhíjiē gàosu tā.

If you had truly been set against me, you would have told her so plainly.

Dāngrán! Wǒ zài nǐ miànqián dōu shuō le nàme nántīng de huà, hái pà nǐ yímā ma?

Of course! After the dreadful things I said to your face, why would I be afraid of your aunt?

Nǐ shuō: “Rúguǒ nín gèng xiàng yí gè shēnshì…” Zhè jù huà, wǒ xiǎng le hǎo jǐ gè yuè.

You said, “If you had behaved more like a gentleman…” I thought about those words for months.

Hái yǒu: “Jiùsuàn nín shì shìjiè shang zuìhòu yí gè nánrén…”

And then: “Even if you were the last man in the world…”

Bié shuō le! Nà shíhou de huà, xiànzài xiǎng qǐlai zhēn hòuhuǐ.

Don't! When I think now of what I said then, I regret it so much.

Nà tiān wǎnshang, wǒ hěn shēngqì. Kěshì hòulái, wǒ shēngqì de shì wǒ zìjǐ.

That night I was angry. But later, the one I was angry with was myself.

Nǐ bú shì shuō guo, hǎo yìnxiàng méiyǒu le, jiù yǒngyuǎn méiyǒu le ma?

Didn't you once say that a good opinion, once lost, is lost forever?

Wǒ shuō cuò le. Wǒ yǐqián hěn jiāo'ào, bù zūnzhòng biérén. Shì nǐ gǎibiàn le wǒ.

I was wrong. I used to be proud, with no respect for anyone else. You changed me.

Nǐ de xìn yě gǎibiàn le wǒ. Nà tiān wǒ xiǎng: zhídào jīntiān, wǒ cái rènshi le zìjǐ.

Your letter changed me too. That day I thought: until today, I never knew myself.

Yí gè àomàn, yí gè yǒu piānjiàn. Wǒmen de dì yī yìnxiàng, dōu cuò le.

One of us proud, the other prejudiced. Our first impressions were both wrong.

Jiǎn hé Bīnlì xiānsheng ne? Shì nǐ tóngyì de ba?

And Jane and Mr. Bingley? I suppose you gave your permission?

Qù Lúndūn yǐqián, wǒ dōu gàosu Bīnlì le. Nǐ jiějie shì zhēn de ài tā.

Before I went to London, I told Bingley everything. Your sister truly loves him.

Nà tāmen méi wèntí le. Xiànzài zhǐyǒu yí gè wèntí: zěnme gàosu wǒ bàba? Tā yìzhí yǐwéi, wǒ zuì bù xǐhuan de rén jiù shì nǐ.

Then they're settled. Now there's only one problem: how do we tell my father? He thinks you're the man I like least in the world.
