这是第46天阅读英文版《傲慢与偏见》。
What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again. Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment, by his having slighted one of her daughters.

我把这段英文翻译到中文：
这在他和他的朋友之间是多大的反差啊！达西只和哈斯特小姐、宾利小姐分别跳了一支舞，拒绝介绍给别的女士，这晚的其他时间就在房间里漫步，偶尔和自己人说话。他的性格固执。他是傲慢的，是世界上很让人烦的人，每个人都希望他不会再来。最烦他的就是贝内特太太，因为他怠慢她的女儿，因此，加剧了她对他行为的不满。

文本意思还是得重复的读几遍，学而时习之，这个笔记仅仅是对这本英文书过一遍，熟悉和理解，还是有持续的慢功夫。
