傲慢与偏见婚姻观的英文论文
傲慢与偏见婚姻观 main meaning: Marriage is the central topic in Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma: the plots of the novels and the actions of the characters revolve around marriage. For Austen's characters, marriage does not mean the act of ungoverned passion but a complex engagement between the marrying couple and society. Austen's characters are completely integrated into society and play out the stories within the social rules. Based on Socialist-feminism, this thesis examines social background in Austen's time and explores how social conditions influence females' psychological struggle and anxiety toward marriage. For Socialist-feminists, material factors shape women's marital consciousness in determinate ways. The discussions of male class and female status in the end of the eighteenth century are helpful for understanding why marriage is the central topic in Austen's novels. In a sense, marriage is regarded as a market place to exchange upward class mobility and financial support for Austen's characters. In order to achieve the goal of marriage, females are good at transforming themselves into commodities by displaying their appearances and accomplishments to appeal to male gazers. They realize that marriage can provide opportunities of class mobility and financial support; money and class are thus closely connected in their decision of marital partners. keywords: Plot overview ;.Analysis of the major character ;Themes ;Motifs ;Pride and Prejudice ;marriage The feeling of 《Pride And Prejudice》 Then man treat great event in one's life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself's marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position; Get married and does not consider that above-mentioned factors are unwise too .

傲慢与偏见摘录英文
The distance is nothing ,when one has a motive. Mrs.Bennet’s eyes sparkled with pleasure. We must trespass a litter longer on your kindness. Mrs.Bennet was profuse in her acknowledgements. I often tell my other girls they are nothing to her. That is my idea of good breading;and those persons who fancy themselves very important and never open their mouths , quiet mistake the matter. A lady’s imagination is very rapid;it jumps from admiration to love,from love to matrimony . Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves,vanity to what we would have others think of us. He is ate up with pride. Upon my word ! Affectation of candour is common enough –one meets it everywhere.But to be candid without ostentation or design—to take the good of everybody’s character and make it still better , and say nothing of the bad—belongs to you alone Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humor, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Everything nourishes what is strong already. She had high animal spirits,and a sort of self-consequence. The day passed much as the day before had done.

傲慢与偏见译文分析
《傲慢与偏见》（节选之一）译文分析 Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen (An Excerpt from Chapter One) 第一句："It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of wife."*在本文中"It is a truth universally acknowledged"在七个译文中，大多译为“一条举世公认的真理”。在译文一二三六中，几乎无差；但在译文四中，则直接译为“一条真理”；而在译文五中则译为“这条真理无人知晓”；译文七则为“谁都知道；在其余部分"single man"通常被译为“单身男人”或者“单身男士”。七篇译文各有千秋，译文一和二译为“娶位太太”；三译得颇有文采“娶妻室”；而四中而贫乏无味又显得庸长；五用的是“娶妻”用的不是很妥当，且与“单身汉”不呼应；译文七也是如此。 第二句："However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters."*在这七则译文中，文字上各有不同的修辞，修饰。在译文二三六七中，译者把"this truth is so well fixed in ...families"这句提放在句首，句式结构很具有逻辑性；而译文一则比较繁杂，啰嗦；在译文四中则把这句放在了句尾，没有起到强调作用；在译文五则译得比较贴切而又不失逻辑。 第三句："'My dear Mr Bennet',said his lady to him one day, have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"*在译文一中，译者把“My dear Mr Bennet"译成“我的好老爷”，个人觉得用的不是很恰当，“老爷”这一词太偏中式化了；而在二三四五六七中，则均译为“亲爱的本内特先生”，给人一种太正式化的印象，夫妻之间的谈话更应亲密些；译文五译得比较好些；而在叙述句中，"said his lady to him one day"译文一四五把此译文放在了第一句，其他的则放在原句位置，个人认为放在句首更加贴切。 第四句："Mr Bennet replied that he had not."*这句简单的译文七句也各不相同。"replied"这词在译文一二三六七中均译成了“回答”，而that从句后后的"he had not"原句应为"he had not heard that"，所以则译为“他还没听说”或是“他还没知道”，个人认为这句，在译文一至七都译得比较不错，贴近原文意思。 第五句："But it is,returned she.For Ms Long has just been here,and she told me all about it."*译文"But it is"一至七中，译文二三译为“的确租出去了”；译文三则“可确是租出去了”’译文四则为“但的确已经租出去了”；文五则为“当真租出去了”；译文六与七则译为“确实租出去了”。在此七句中，我认为译文五译得比较贴切。"returned she"大多数译文则译为“她接着说道”。"all about it"有些译文译得比较繁琐，尤其是译文一；译文二三四六七比较恰当；译文四用了“原委”二字，非常生动形象。
Pride and Prejudice 傲慢与偏见 中英文双语简介
Pride and Prejudice Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of 'most loved books' such as The Big Read.[1] It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide Plot summary The narrative opens with Mr Bingley, a wealthy, charming and social young bachelor, moving into Netherfield Park in the neighbourhood of the Bennet family. Mr Bingley is soon well received, while his friend Mr Darcy makes a less favorable first impression by appearing proud and condescending at a ball that they attend (this is partly explained in that he detests dancing and is not much for light conversation). Mr Bingley singles out Elizabeth's elder sister, Jane, for particular attention, and it soon becomes apparent that they have formed an attachment to each other. By contrast, Darcy slights Elizabeth, who overhears and jokes about it despite feeling a budding resentment. On paying a visit to Mr Bingley's sister, Jane is caught in a heavy downpour, catches cold, and is forced to stay at Netherfield for several days. Elizabeth arrives to nurse her sister and is thrown into frequent company with Mr Darcy, who begins to perceive his attachment to her, but is too proud to proceed on this feeling. Mr Collins, a clergyman, pays a visit to the Bennets. Mr Bennet and Elizabeth are much amused by his obsequious veneration of his employer, the noble Lady Catherine de Bourgh, as well as by his self-important and pedantic nature. It soon becomes apparent that Mr Collins has come to Longbourn to choose a wife from among the Bennet sisters (his cousins) and Elizabeth has been singled out. At the same time, Elizabeth forms an acquaintance with Mr Wickham, a militia officer who claims to have been very seriously mistreated by Mr Darcy, despite having been a ward of Mr Darcy's father. This tale, and Elizabeth's attraction to Mr Wickham, adds fuel to her dislike of Mr Darcy. At a ball given by Mr Bingley at Netherfield, Mr Darcy becomes aware of a general expectation that Mr Bingley and Jane will marry, and the Bennet family, with the
