After the first fortnight or three weeks of her absence, health, good humour, and cheerfulness began to reappear at Longbourn. Everything wore a happier aspect. The families who had been in town for the winter came back again, and summer finery and summer engagements arose. Mrs. Bennet was restored to her usual querulous serenity; and, by the middle of June, Kitty was so much recovered as to be able to enter Meryton without tears; an event of such happy promise as to make Elizabeth hope that by the following Christmas she might be so tolerably reasonable as not to mention an officer above once a day, unless, by some cruel and malicious arrangement at the War Office, another regiment should be quartered in Meryton.

她走了两三个星期以后,浪搏恩又重新恢复了愉快欢乐的气象。一切都欣欣向荣。上城里过冬的那些人家都搬回来了,人们都穿起了夏天的新装,到处是夏天的约会。班纳特太太又象往常一样动不动就发牢骚。到了六月中旬吉蒂完全恢复了常态,到麦里屯去可以不掉眼泪了,伊丽莎白看到真高兴,她希望到了圣诞节,吉蒂会变得相当有理智,不至于每天三番五次地提到军官们,除非作战部不管人家死活,又来一次恶作剧,重新调一团人驻扎到麦里屯来。

The time fixed for the beginning of their northern tour was now fast approaching, and a fortnight only was wanting of it, when a letter arrived from Mrs. Gardiner, which at once delayed its commencement and curtailed its extent. Mr. Gardiner would be prevented by business from setting out till a fortnight later in July, and must be in London again within a month, and as that left too short a period for them to go so far, and see so much as they had proposed, or at least to see it with the leisure and comfort they had built on, they were obliged to give up the Lakes, and substitute a more contracted tour, and, according to the present plan, were to go no farther northwards than Derbyshire. In that county there was enough to be seen to occupy the chief of their three weeks; and to Mrs. Gardiner it had a peculiarly strong attraction. The town where she had formerly passed some years of her life, and where they were now to spend a few days, was probably as great an object of her curiosity as all the celebrated beauties of Matlock, Chatsworth, Dovedale, or the Peak.

他们北上旅行的日期已经迫近,只剩下两个星期了,不料这时候嘉丁纳太太却寄来了一封信,使行期耽搁下来,旅行范围也得缩小。信上说,因为嘉丁纳先生有事,行期必须延迟两个星期,到七月里才能动身,又因为他只能出外旅行一个月便得回到伦敦,日期很短促,不能照原来的计划作长途旅行,饱餐山川景色,至少不能照原来所安排的那样悠闲自在地去游览,湖区必须放弃,旅程必须缩短,只能到德比郡为止。其实德比郡就足够供他们游览,足够他们消磨短短三星期的旅行日程,而且嘉丁纳太太非常向往那个地方。她以前曾在那儿住过儿年,现在能够旧地重游,盘桓数日,便不禁对于马特洛克、恰滋华斯、鸽谷、秀阜的风景名胜,心醉神往。
