Pride And Prejudice
中文简介核心主题是围绕着18世纪末19世纪初，英国地主乡绅贵族的情感和婚姻问题。
女主角是20岁的伊丽莎白·班內特，她机智、聪慧、善良。
她父亲班內特先生多数时间藏在书房里，避开妻子班內特太太。
班內特太太的行为举止完全是个乡村愚妇，她最大的心愿就是把五个女儿都成功地嫁给有钱绅士。
由于没有儿子，班內特家族为数不多的财产要由一位男性继承人──也就是说姑娘们的表兄柯林斯先生来继承，这将使班內特先生死后，班內特太太和其他未婚的女儿无家可归，并只能靠低收入维持生计。
小说的开头，当一位有“相当财产”的单身汉搬到邻近房子时，班內特太太心情激动。
这位宾利先生最近租下了尼日尔斐庄园，同住的还有他的两位姐妹──宾利小姐和已婚的赫斯特太太，后者的丈夫徒有风度，没有多少财产。
不久，宾利先生去了伦敦一趟，带回了他的朋友达西先生。
他们到达之后，很快参加了在梅里屯的一场公共舞会。
舞会开始时，人们公认每年有高达10,000英镑的收入的达西先生是最棒的。
然而，聚会进行到一半，邻居们就察觉到他本人并不讨人喜欢，因为他自命比身边这些“乡下人”要高贵。
班內特家的人特别讨厌他，因为达西先生怠慢了伊丽莎白。
当宾利先生建议达西和伊丽莎白跳舞时，达西却说：“她还没有漂亮到可以打动我的地步。
”但宾利先生却被公认为是个优秀的，令人愉快的绅士。
而他对伊丽莎白最亲近的姐姐──珍的爱慕也相当明显。
舞会之后不久，达西才渐渐发现了伊丽莎白的好：她一双美丽的黑眼睛、娇美的体态和她那爽快、不奉承人的性格都深深地吸引了达西的爱慕。
可是达西很快决定了不可让伊丽莎白发现这点，免得她有非份之想，反过来控制他的幸福。
他竭力隐瞒，所以伊丽莎白一直不知道高傲的达西先生已爱上了她，而且爱慕越来越深。
后来，班內特先生宣布一位客人将来访。
众人兴奋地猜测来客是谁，发现原来是她们的表兄柯林斯先生。
柯林斯是个唠叨势利的牧师，将宣读《对年轻女性的布道》之类的道德书视为“愉快夜晚活动”。
Pride And Prejudice
除了伊丽莎白和达西, 小说中其他的人物也都有傲慢的性格。柯林斯是伊丽莎白的堂兄, 其人虽 蠢笨但是也傲慢自恃。他骄傲的是他是贝纳特先生财产的唯一继承人, 他有稳定的财产收入和较高 的社会地位。当他向伊丽莎白求婚时, 他庄重的表情, 他的自我陶醉, 他的自以为是应验了他是个十 足的傻瓜。凯塞林得伯夫人同样傲慢, 而且有极为严重的等级偏见。由于自己的贵族血统, 她自视甚 高, 乐于抬高自己以贬低他人。热衷于插手他人生活, 哪怕是生活琐事她也要给与意见。喜欢听人奉 承, 而且无法忍受他人的顶撞。她严重的阶级观念让她无法忍受达西和伊丽莎白的婚事并且极力阻 止,但是结果却事与愿违, 反而让达西有了向伊丽莎白第二次求婚的勇气。彬格利姐妹的性格也傲慢。 她们有些姿色, 受过学校教育, 有自己的资产, 便只与有地位的人交往, 对于自己拥有的头衔骄傲不已。 骄傲, 在小说中除了呈现性格弱点外, 还含以其他的意义在小说中出现。贝纳特太太骄傲的拜访她已 婚的女儿们。伊丽莎白对达西为莉迪雅所作的一切深表骄傲。玛丽也急于表现, 发表了“傲慢与虚 荣”的演讲。在伊丽莎白和达西之间也有关于傲慢的讨论。
简· 奥斯汀运用讽刺幽默的写作手法生动的讲述了18 世纪末19 世纪初的英 国乡村生活面貌。她以女性特有的细致入微的观察力, 真实地描绘了她周围世 界的小天地, 尤其是绅士淑女间的婚姻和爱情风波。从18 世纪末到19 世纪初, 庸俗无聊的“感伤小说”和“哥特小说”充斥英国文坛, 而奥斯丁的小说破旧 立新, 一反常规地展现了当时尚未受到资本主义工业革命冲击的英国乡村中产 阶级的日常生活和田园风光。虽然身处战争年代, 但是文章只字不提战争。却 把注意力投向乡村的年轻人的婚姻问题。看起来似乎是家庭琐事, 但正是这些 琐事反映了巨大的社会问题。伊丽莎白对于自由幸福婚姻的追求, 对于阶级差 别的无视, 恰好反映了新兴资产阶级与封建制度的斗争。叛逆, 聪明, 勇敢的伊 丽莎白让人们印象深刻,同时这个形象也是英国文学史上最经典的艺术形象之 一。小说同样也反映了作者简· 奥斯汀对于女性的观点态度。奥斯汀批判19 世 纪英国社会存在的性别歧视, 她认为女性至少和男性一样有能力和明智, 女性 在社会上卑微的地位是不公平的。在那个转型的年代, 简· 奥斯汀这个安静阳 光般的女人, 为妇女的自由和独立发挥着自己的力量。她的贡献也为她赢得了 在英国文学史上的稳固不灭的地位。
Pride and Prejudice
伊丽莎白在读了达西先生的信后，内心波澜起伏，反复思量，从而最 终理智战胜了情感，而这一重要过程主要就是通过心理描写来完成的。
而对于吉英这个外冷内热的小姐，我们一方面通过她与伊丽莎白的谈 话来了解她的感情，另一方面就是通过对她心里的描写来感知了。
2.艺术特点
她的出色之处在于塑造人物性格方面“堪与莎士 比亚比肩”。
她运用的对比手法和反讽艺术渗透于《傲慢与偏 见》整部小说中，贯穿于人物刻画、情节发展与 小说结构之中。
(1)、对比
奥斯汀用对比的手法为我们描述了两类四种婚姻，几乎概括了人类婚 姻类型的实质。
以金钱为前提---丽底亚和魏克翰, 夏绿蒂和柯林斯的结合 以爱情为前提---彬格莱和吉英, 达西和伊丽莎白的结合。
从对比的角度看，以爱情为前提正好与的没有爱情的归宿式婚姻互为 映衬。
丽底亚和魏克翰
情欲
达西和伊丽莎白
真爱
（2）、反讽
反讽艺术渗透于《傲慢与偏见》整部小说中，贯 穿于人物刻画、情节发展与小说结构之中。这是 奥斯丁笔下喜剧性的精髓。
“It is a truth universally acknowledge , that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” 奥斯汀将神圣的“真理”与某种俗不可耐的“准则”并置在一起，为 的是创造反讽效果，从而定下了全书的调子，凸显了小说的主题，把 婚姻和财产紧密联系在一起。
反映了现实的社会生活，也反映了人们更加现实的内心世界，引出了 一段发生在十九世纪初英国的关于爱与价值的经典故事。

傲慢与偏见-Pride,and,Prejudice-有声英语名著
傲慢与偏见|Pride,and,Prejudice|有声英语名著篇一：Pride and Prejudice傲慢与偏见翻译译文一：凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。
这样的单身汉，每逢新搬到一个地方，四邻八舍虽然完全不了解他的性情如何，见解如何，可是，既然这样的一条真理早已在人们心目中根深蒂固，因此人们总是把他看作自己某一个女儿理所应得的一笔财产。
有一天，班纳特太太对她的丈夫说：“我的好老爷，尼日斐花园终于租出去了，你听说过没有？”班纳特先生回答道，他没有听说过。
“地确租出去了，”她说，“朗格太太刚刚上这儿来过，她把这件事的底细，一五一十地都告诉了我。
”班纳特先生没有理睬她。
“你难道不想知道是谁租去的吗？”太太不耐烦地嚷起来了。
“既是你要说给我听，我听听也无妨。
”这句话足够鼓励她讲下去了。
（王科一译【上海译文出版社 1980年6月版】）译文二：有钱的单身汉总要娶位太太，这是一条举世公认的真理。
这条真理还真够深入人心的，每逢这样的单身汉新搬到一个地方，四邻八舍的人家尽管对他的性情见识一无所知，却把他视为自己某个女儿的合法财产。
“亲爱的贝纳特先生，”一天，贝纳特太太对丈夫说：“你有没有听说内瑟菲尔德庄园终于租出去了？”贝纳特先生回答到，没有听说。
“的确租出去了，”太太说道，“朗太太刚刚来过，她把这事一五一十地全告诉了。
”贝纳特先生没有回答。
“难道你不想知道是谁租去的吗？”太太不耐烦地嚷道。
“既是你想告诉我，我听听也无妨。
”这句话足以逗引太太讲下去。

Pride and Prejudice
Pride and PrejudiceJane AustenThey were within twenty yards of each other ，and so abrupt was his appearance ，that it was impossible to avoid his sight.Their eyes instantly met ，and the cheeks of each were overspread with the deepest blush.He absolutely started ，and for a moment seemed immoveable from surprise ；but shortly recovering himself ，advanced towards the party ，and spoke to Elizabeth ，if not in terms of perfect composure ，at least of perfect civility.She had instinctively turned away ；but ，stopping on his approach ，received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be overcome.Had his first appearance ，or his resemblance to the picture they had just been examining ，been insufficient to assure the other two that they now saw Mr.Darcy ，the gardener ’s expression of surprise on beholding his master must immediately have told it.They stood a little aloof while he was talking to their niece ，who ，astonished and confused ，scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face ，and knew not what answer she returned to his civil enquiries after her《傲慢与偏见》（Pride and Prejudice ）是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀的长篇小说。
