傲慢与偏见 Pride and Prejudice 1 - Chapter 1 A Young Man of Fortune

　　"Well," Mrs. Bennet said excitedly, "Netherfield is being rented by Mr. Bingley. He is a young, wealthy man from the north. "

　　"You don't say?" Mr. Bennet replied. "Is he married or single?"

　　"Oh, single, my dear!" cried Mrs. Bennet excitedly. "What a good fortune for our daughters!"

　　"What do you mean by that? What does this have to do with their fortune?"

　　"Oh, don't be so difficult, my dear Mr. Bennet!" replied his wife. "I'm just thinking that perhaps Mr. Bingley might marry one of our daughters."

　　"Is this why he has rented the house?" her husband asked, jokingly.

　　"What nonsense! Still, it's likely that if he meets one of our girls, he'll fall in love. So, you must go and pay him a visit soon. It's the only respectable way for an introduction."

　　Mr. Bennet stood up and looked at his wife. "I do not want to do that, and you cannot make me, I promise you."

　　"But what about the future of your daughters?" cried his wife, shocked.

　　"I don't see why I must visit him." said Mr. Bennet.

　　"How difficult you are!" she cried. "I cannot take the girls to visit him unless you have already met him. It's the only correct way. "
