傲慢与偏见 简介小乡绅班纳特有五个待字闺中的千金,班纳特太太整天操心着为女儿们物色称心如意的丈夫。新来的邻居宾利(Bingley)是个有钱的单身汉,他立即成了班纳特太太追猎的目标。在一次舞会上,宾利对班纳特家的大女儿简(Jane)一见钟情,班纳特太太为此欣喜若狂。参加舞会的还有宾利的好友达西(Darcy)。他仪表堂堂,非常富有,收入是宾利的数倍,许多姑娘纷纷向他投去羡慕的目光;但他非常骄傲,认为她们都不配做他的舞伴,其中包括简的妹妹伊丽莎白(Elizabeth)。达西(Darcy)对宾利说,她(伊丽莎白)长的可以“容忍”,但还没到能引起他兴趣的程度。伊丽莎白自尊心很强,决定不去理睬这个傲慢的家伙。可是不久,达西对她活泼可爱的举止产生了好感,在另一次舞会上主动请她同舞,伊丽莎白同意和达西跳一支舞,达西由此而逐渐对伊丽莎白改变了看法。宾利的姐妹卡罗琳(Caroline)一心想嫁给达西,而达西对她十分冷漠。她发现达西对伊丽莎白有好感后,怒火心烧,决意从中阻挠。达西虽然欣赏伊丽莎白,但却无法忍受她的母亲以及妹妹们粗俗、无礼的举止,担心简并非是钟情于宾利,便劝说宾利放弃娶简。在妹妹和好友达西的劝说下,宾利不辞而别,去了伦敦,但简对他还是一片深情。班纳特先生没有儿子,根据当时法律,班纳特家的财产是只能由男性继承的(注:当时英国女儿可以继承财产,但班纳特家的财产较特殊,详见:“限定继承权”)而班纳特家的女儿们仅仅只能得到五千英镑作为嫁妆,因此他的家产将由远亲柯林斯(Collins)继承。柯林斯古板平庸又善于谄媚奉承,依靠权势当上了牧师。他向伊丽莎白求婚,遭拒绝后,马上与她的密友夏洛特(Charlotte)结婚,这也给伊丽莎白带来不少烦恼。附近小镇的民团联队里有个英俊潇洒的青年军官威克汉姆(Wickham),人人都夸他,伊丽莎白也对他产生了好感。一天,他对伊丽莎白说,他父亲是达西家的总管,达西的父亲曾在遗嘱中建议达西给他一笔财产,从而体面地成为一名神职人员,而这笔财产却被达西吞没了。(其实是威克汉姆自己把那笔遗产挥霍殆尽,还企图勾引达西的妹妹乔治安娜私奔。)伊丽莎白听后,对达西更加反感。 [3]柯林斯夫妇请伊丽莎白去他们家作客,伊丽莎白在那里遇到达西的姨妈凯瑟琳(Catherine)夫人,并且被邀去她的罗辛斯山庄做客。不久,又见到了来那里过复活节的达西。达西无法抑制自己对伊丽莎白的爱慕之情,向她求婚,但态度还是那么傲慢,加之伊丽莎白之前便对他有严重偏见,便坚决地谢绝了他的求婚。这一打击使达西第一次认识到骄傲自负所带来的恶果,他痛苦地离开了她,临走前留下一封长信作了几点解释:他承认宾利不辞而别是他促使的,原因是他不满班纳特太太和班纳特小姐们的轻浮和鄙俗(不包括简和伊丽莎白),并且认为简并没有真正钟情于宾利;威克汉姆说的却全是谎言,事实是威克汉姆自己把那笔遗产挥霍殆尽,还企图勾引达西的妹妹乔治安娜私奔。伊丽莎白读信后十分后悔,既对错怪达西感到内疚,又为母亲和妹妹的行为羞愧。第二年夏天,伊丽莎白随舅父母来到达西的庄园彭伯里,在管家的门口了解到达西在当地很受人们尊敬,而且对他妹妹乔治安娜非常爱护。伊丽莎白在树林中偶遇刚到家的达西,发现他的态度大大改观,对她的舅父母彬彬有礼,渐渐地她对他的偏见消除了。正当其时,伊丽莎白接到家信,说小妹莉迪亚(Lydia)随身负累累赌债的威克汉姆私奔了。这种家丑使伊丽莎白非常难堪,以为达西会更瞧不起自己。但事实出乎她的意料,达西得知上述消息以后,便想办法替她解决了难题——不仅替威克汉姆还清赌债,还给了他一笔巨款,让他与莉迪亚完婚。自此以后,伊丽莎白往日对达西的种种偏见统统化为真诚之爱。人物关系宾利和简经过一番周折,言归于好,一对情人沉浸在欢乐之中。而一心想让自己的女儿嫁给达西的凯瑟琳夫人匆匆赶来,蛮横地要伊丽莎白保证不与达西结婚。伊丽莎白对这一无理要求断然拒绝。此事传到达西耳中。他知道伊丽莎白已经改变了对自己的看法(他日后对伊丽莎白表白:You are too generous to trifle with me,你为人太真诚大方,不会以此来愚弄我),诚恳地再次向她求婚。到此,一对曾因傲慢和偏见而延搁婚事的有情人终成眷属。
