授课：XXX Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 1

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single

man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man

may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is

so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that

he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other

of their daughters.

"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have

you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been

here, and she told me all about it."

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

"Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his

wife impatiently. 希望对大家有所帮助，多谢您的浏览！

Jane Austen was an English novelist whose books, set amongst the English middle

and upper classes, are notable for their wit, social observation and insights into the

lives of early 19th century women.

Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father was a rector. She

was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. The first 25 years of

her life Austen spent in Hampshire. She was tutored at home. Her parents were avid

readers and she received a broader education than many women of her time. On her

father's retirement, the family moved to Bath.

In 1801 the family moved to Bath. After the death of Jane's father in 1805 Jane, her

sister Cassandra and their mother moved several times eventually settling in Chawton,

near Steventon provided by her brother, Edward.

CHAPTER 29

MR. Collins's triumph in consequence of this invitation was complete. The power of

displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering visitors, and of letting them see her

civility towards himself and his wife, was exactly what he had wished for; and that an

opportunity of doing it should be given so soon

was such an instance of Lady Catherine's condescension as he knew not how to admire enough.

"I confess," said he, "that I should not have been at all surprised by her Ladyship's asking us on

Sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at Rosings. I rather expected, from my knowledge of

her affability, that it would happen. But who could have foreseen such an attention as this?

Who could have imagined that we should receive an invitation to dine there (an invitation
