The Proposal in Kent

Wǒ nǔlì bú qù xiǎng nín, méiyǒu yòng. Wǒ bù néng zài bù shuō le.

I have tried not to think of you. It's no use. I can't stay silent any longer.

Qǐng ràng wǒ gàosu nín: wǒ fēicháng xǐhuan nín, wǒ ài nín.

You must let me tell you how much I admire you, and love you.

Wǒ gēn zìjǐ shuō le yí cì yòu yí cì: bù xíng. Nín de jiārén, gēn wǒmen jiā chà de tài yuǎn le.

I told myself again and again that it couldn't be. Your family is so far beneath mine.

Wǒ zhīdào zhèyàng bú duì. Kěshì wǒ wàng bu liǎo nín. Qǐng nín jià gěi wǒ.

I know it goes against all good sense. But I cannot forget you. Please, be my wife.

Yīlìshābái shuō bu chū huà lai. Tā hǎoxiàng juéde, tā yídìng huì dāying.

Elizabeth could not speak. He seemed to have no doubt she would say yes.

Zhè zhǒng shíhou, yīnggāi shuō xièxie. Kěshì wǒ bù néng. Nín xǐhuan wǒ, běnlái yě bú shì nín yuànyì de.

At such a moment one ought to say thank you. But I can't. You never wanted to like me in the first place.

Dáxī xiānsheng de liǎn bái le.

Mr. Darcy went pale.

Zhè jiù shì nín de huídá? Wǒ néng bu néng wèn yíxià, nín wèishénme jùjué de zhème méiyǒu lǐmào?

Is this all the answer I am to have? May I ask why I am refused with so little civility?

Nà wǒ yě xiǎng wèn: nín shuō nín ài wǒ, yòu shuō nín běnlái bù xiǎng ài wǒ. Zhèyàng shuō, yǒu lǐmào ma?

Then I might ask why you tell me you love me, and in the same breath that you never wanted to. Is that civil?

Érqiě, nín pòhuài le wǒ jiějie de xìngfú. Nín néng shuō bú shì nín zuò de ma?

And you have ruined my sister's happiness. Can you deny that you did it?

Wǒ bù xiǎng shuō bú shì. Shì wǒ ràng tāmen fēnkāi de, wǒ bú hòuhuǐ.

I have no wish to deny it. I did all I could to part them, and I don't regret it.

Hái yǒu Wēikèmǔ xiānsheng! Tā de shì, wǒ zǎojiù zhīdào le. Nín hái yǒu shénme huà shuō?

And then there's Mr. Wickham! I heard his story long ago. What can you say to that?

Nín hěn guānxīn nà wèi xiānsheng.

You take a keen interest in that gentleman.

Tā de yùnqi nàme bù hǎo, shéi néng bù guānxīn tā?

After all his bad luck, who could help caring about him?

Tā de yùnqi! Shì a, tā de yùnqi zhēn bù hǎo.

His bad luck! Yes, his luck has been very bad indeed.

Dōu shì yīnwèi nín! Tā xiànzài nàme qióng, dōu shì nín zuò de!

And all because of you! You made him as poor as he is!

Zhè jiù shì nín duì wǒ de kànfǎ! Xièxie nín shuō de zhème qīngchu.

So this is what you think of me! Thank you for explaining it so fully.

Rúguǒ wǒ zhǐ shuō hǎotīng de huà, nín yěxǔ huì yuánliàng wǒ. Kěshì wǒ bú huì piàn rén.

Perhaps if I had only flattered you, you would have forgiven me. But I cannot pretend.

Wǒ shuō de huà, wǒ bù juéde diūliǎn. Nín jiā li de rén bǐ wǒmen chà, nín yào wǒ wèi zhège gāoxìng ma?

I am not ashamed of a word I said. Your family is beneath mine. Did you expect me to rejoice in that?

Dáxī xiānsheng, rúguǒ nín gāngcái gèng xiàng yí gè shēnshì, wǒ jùjué nín de shíhou, yěxǔ huì juéde duìbuqǐ nín.

Mr. Darcy, if you had behaved more like a gentleman, I might have felt sorry to refuse you.

Kěshì nín zěnme wèn, wǒ dōu bú huì dāying.

But however you had asked me, I would never have said yes.

Cóng dì yī tiān qǐ, nín de jiāo'ào, nín de àomàn, jiù ràng wǒ bù xǐhuan nín.

From the very first day, your pride and your arrogance made me dislike you.

Bú dào yí gè yuè, wǒ jiù zhīdào le: jiùsuàn nín shì shìjiè shang zuìhòu yí gè nánrén, wǒ yě bú huì jià gěi nín.

Before I had known you a month, I knew: even if you were the last man in the world, I would never marry you.

Gòu le. Wǒ míngbai le. Xiànzài xiǎngxiang wǒ zìjǐ de gǎnqíng, wǒ zhǐ juéde diūliǎn.

You have said quite enough. I understand. Now I can only be ashamed of what my own feelings have been.

Yuánliàng wǒ yòng le nín zhème duō shíjiān. Zhù nín jiànkāng, xìngfú.

Forgive me for taking up so much of your time. I wish you health and happiness.

Tā zǒu le. Yīlìshābái zuò xiàlai, kū le bàn gè xiǎoshí.

He was gone. Elizabeth sat down and cried for half an hour.

Dáxī xiānsheng ài le wǒ hǎo jǐ gè yuè… wǒ yìdiǎnr yě méi kàn chūlai.

Mr. Darcy has loved me for months… and I never saw it.
