傲慢与偏见（三）

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

“你难道不想知道是谁租去的吗？”太太不耐烦地嚷起来了。

"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."

“既是你要说给我听，我听听也无妨。”

This was invitation enough.

这句话足够鼓励她讲下去了。

"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week."

“哦！亲爱的，你得知道，郎格太太说，租尼日斐花园的是个富有少爷，他是英格兰北部的人；听说他星期一那天，乘着一辆驷马大轿车来看房子，看得非常中意，当场就和莫理斯先生谈妥了；他要在‘米迦勒节’以前搬进来，打算下个周未先叫几个佣人来住。”

小编PS：Michaelmas （米迦勒节）在每年的九月二十九日。小说里提到这个，就已经把时间定下来了。米迦勒节，故事开始在美丽的秋天。
