S1
初见，一个傲慢，一个偏见
(Bingley & Darcy is walking form the
door, Elizabeth & Jane are looking at them)
Elizabeth
: Smile at Mr.
Bingley. Smile! (to Jane)
Father
: Mr. Bingley, this is
Jane and her sister Elizabeth.
Mother
: It is a pleasure. l
have three others, but they're already dancing.
Bingley
: I'm delighted to
make your acquaintance.
Father
: And may l introduce
Mr. Darcy of Pemberley in Derbyshire.
Jane
: How do you like it
here in Hertfordshire?
Bingley
: Very much!
Elizabeth
: The library at
Netherfield, I've heard, is one of the finest.
Bingley
:
It fills
me with guilt. I'm not a good
reader.
I
prefer
being
out
doors
…
Oh, l mean,
l can read, of course.
And I'm not
suggesting
you
can
not
read
out
of
doors.
Jane
: I wish l read more,
but there seem to be so many other things to do.
Bingley
: That's exactly what
l meant.
(Bingley is dancing with
Jane.)
Elizabeth
: Do you dance, Mr.
Darcy?
Darcy
: Not if l can
help it.
（一曲结束）
Mother
: How well you dance,
Mr. Bingley.
Bingley
: I've
never enjoyed a dance so much.
Mother
: My daughter Jane is
a splendid dancer, is she not?
Bingley
: She is indeed.
Mother
:
Of
course,
it's
my
Jane
who's
considered
the
beauty
of
the
county.
When she was 15, a
gentleman did write her some very verses.
Elizabeth
: I wonder who
discovered the power of poetry in driving away
love.
Darcy
: I thought
poetry was the food of love. Of a fine, stout
love.
Elizabeth
But if it is
only a vague inclination, one poor sonnet will
kill it.
Darcy
: So, what do
you recommend to encourage affection?
Elizabeth
: Dancing. Even if
one's partner is barely tolerable.

S2
再见，不欢而散
Darcy
: May I have the next
dance, Miss Elizabeth?
Elizabeth
: You may.
Elizabeth
:
Did I
agree to dance with Mr. Darcy?
Charlotte
: I dare say you
will find him amiable.
Elizabeth
:
It
would
be
most
inconvenient
since
I've
worn
to
loathe
him
for
all
eternity.
(Elizabeth is dancing with Darcy)
Elizabeth
: I love this
dance.
Darcy
: Indeed. Most
invigorating.
Elizabeth
: It
is your turn to say something, Mr. Darcy. I talked
about the dance. Now
you ought to
remark on the size of the room or the number of
couples.
Darcy
: I'm
perfectly happy to oblige. What would you like
most to hear?
Elizabeth
:
That
reply
will
do
for
present…
Perhaps
by
and
by
l
may
observe
that
private balls are much pleasanter than
public ones
…
For now, we may
remain silent.
Darcy
: Do you
talk as a rule while dancing?
Elizabeth
: No, No, I prefer
to be unsociable and
taciturn
…
Makes it all so
much more
enjoyable, don't you think?
Darcy
: Tell me,
do you and your sisters very often walk to
Meryton?
Elizabeth
: Yes,
it's a great opportunity to meet new people.
Darcy
: Mr. Wickham's blessed
with such happy manners, he's sure of making
friends.
Whether he's capable of
retaining them is less so.
Elizabeth
: He's been so
unfortunate as to lose your friendship. That is
irreversible?
Darcy
: It is.
Why do you ask such a question?
Elizabeth
: To make out your
character.
Darcy
: What have
you discovered?
Elizabeth
:
Very little.
Darcy
: I hope
to afford you more clarity in the future.
S3
雨中告白，爱恨交融（此段是重头戏）
Darcy
:
Miss
Elizabeth.
I have struggled in vain
and can bear it no longer.
These
past
months
have been a torment. I came to Rosings only to see
you. I have fought against
judgment, my
family's expectation, the inferiority of
your birth, my rank.
I will
put
them aside and ask you to end my
agony.
Elizabeth
: I
don
’
t understand.
Darcy
: I love you.
(Pause)
Most
ardently.
Darcy
:
(cont'd)
the
inferiority
of
your
birth
.
.
.
my
rank
and
circumstance...
(Stumblingly) all those things...but
I'm willing to put them aside...and ask you to end
my agony...
