III. PREPARE A LITERARY TRANSLATION OF THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT:
“Elizabeth listened in silence ... and leave the next generation to purchase.”
Элизабет слушала молча, но не была согласна; их поведение на балу не было рассчитано на то, чтобы понравиться всем людям; и с большей наблюдательностью и меньшей уступчивостью характера, чем у ее сестры, не обремененная никаким вниманием к себе, она не была расположена восторгаться ими. На самом деле они были очень изысканными, не лишенными остроумия, когда они были довольны, в силах нравиться людям, когда сами этого захотят, но и горды и тщеславны. Они были довольно красивы, учились в одной из первых частных семинарий в городе, имели состояние в двадцать тысяч фунтов, имели привычку тратить больше, чем следовало бы, и общаться с людьми высокого ранга, а потому во всех отношениях имели право думать хорошо о себе и плохо о других. Они были из почтенной семьи на севере Англии; это обстоятельство еще глубже запечатлелось в их памяти, чем то, что состояние их брата и их собственное было обязано торговле.
Мистер Бингли получил наследство на сумму почти в сто тысяч фунтов от своего отца, который намеревался приобрести поместье, но не дожил до этого. Мистер Бингли намеревался сделать то же самое и иногда выбирал себе графство; но так как теперь он был обеспечен хорошим домом и территориями, то многие из тех, кто лучше всего знал легкость его нрава, не сомневались, что он мог бы провести остаток своих дней в Незерфилде, отложив покупку поместья для следующего поколения.
