获广播协会最佳男主角、 艾美奖最佳服装设计、纽约影展大奖、BAFTA最佳女主角、纽约电视节奖等十六项大奖。
简·奥斯汀最著名的小说《傲慢与偏见》多次被搬上屏幕,而1995年的这个连续剧版本直到今天仍被视为是最好且最受欢迎的版本。柯林·弗斯对达西的成功演绎使得95版的《傲慢与偏见》达到了一个新高峰。
这是由BBC和A&E联合制作的6集连续剧,因而北美人都习惯称之为A&E版,而国内则喜欢叫它BBC版。BBC的这个版本在IMDB获得9.3分的高分,可见大家对这一经典的认同。在忠实于原著情节与对白上,还有男女主角不争的演技实力上,这部戏的确没有让简迷们失望。该剧由柯林·弗斯(Colin Firth)饰演达西先生,詹妮弗·埃勒(Jennifer Ehle)饰演伊丽莎白。两人间的眼神交流、信息传递到位,爱情发展得层层递进又不动声色,令人信服且沉醉。
简·奥斯汀(Jane Austen)对她书里曾出现的所有的女主角,独爱伊丽莎白。她说:“我必须承认,我认为她是书上最可爱的人物。”有人甚至认为伊莉莎白是她自己的化身。她也的确把她自己的好学、深思、机智、敏感、勇气都赋予了伊丽莎白。
在代表作《傲慢与偏见》中,简·奥斯汀善于在日常平凡事物中塑造鲜明的人物形象,且在对话艺术上讲究机智、嘲讽与幽默,常以风趣诙谐的语言来烘托人物的性格特征。这也许是该小说魅力经久不衰的原因所在。
Unsociable 不善交际
Mr. Darcy:因不习惯和人打交道,所以经常表现出高高在上的姿态,引来不少毁谤的声音。
(Elizabeth is playing the piano while chatting with Colonel Fitzwilliam.)
Colonel Fitzwilliam(Darcy’s cousin): I should dearly like to know how he behaves among strangers.
Elizabeth: First time I ever saw Mr. Darcy was at a ball, where he danced only four dances…though gentlemen were scarce and more than one lady was in want of a partner. I’m sorry to pain you, but so it was.
Colonel Fitzwilliam: I can well believe it.
Mr. Darcy: I fear I am 1)ill-qualified to recommend myself to strangers.
Elizabeth: Shall we ask him why: why a man of sense and education, who has lived in the world, should be ill-qualified to recommend himself to strangers?
Mr. Darcy:I am…I have not that talent, which some possess, of 2)conversing easily with strangers.
Elizabeth: I do not play this instrument so well as I should wish to, but I have always supposed that to be my own fault, because I would not take the trouble of practising.
Mr. Darcy: You’re perfectly right. You’ve employed your time much better. No one admitted to the 3)privilege of hearing you could think anything wanting. We, neither of us, perform to strangers.
(伊丽莎白边弹琴边跟费兹威廉上校聊天。)
费兹威廉上校(达西的表亲):我很想知道,他在陌生人面前的举止。
伊丽莎白:我第一次见到达西先生是在一个舞会上,他只跳了4支舞……虽然当时男士很少,不止一位女士缺少舞伴。我很抱歉让你不快,但事实如此。
费兹威廉上校:这倒不难相信。
达西先生:我想我不擅于向陌生人介绍自己。
伊丽莎白:我们该问他为什么吗?为什么一个有头脑、受过教育又见过世面的男人,会不擅于向陌生人介绍自己呢?
达西先生:我……我不像有些人,天生容易和陌生人打成一片。
伊丽莎白:我的琴艺不如我希望的好,但我总认为那是我自己不好,因为我懒得练习。
达西先生:你说得一点都没错。你把时间花在更有用的地方。有幸听你弹琴的人,不会认为你有什么缺点。我们都不会在陌生人面前表现。
Unspeakable闺房密语
班内特家五姐妹中,就数最年长的简和伊丽莎白最聪明懂事;她们既反对为财产、金钱和地位而结婚,但也明白不考虑上述因素非理智之举。
Elizabeth: If I could love a man who would love me enough to take me for a mere fifty pounds a year, I should be very well pleased.
Jane: Yes.
Elizabeth: Such a man could hardly be sensible and you know I could never love a man who was 4)out of his wits.
Jane: Oh, Lizzy. A marriage, where either partner cannot love or respect the other; that cannot be agreeable to either party.
Elizabeth: As we have daily proof. But beggars, you know, cannot be choosers.
Jane: We’re not very poor, Lizzy.
Elizabeth: With father’s estate5)entailed away from the female line, we have little but our charms to recommend us. One of us, at least, will have to marry very well. And since you are quite five times as pretty as the rest of us, and have the sweetest 6)disposition, I fear the task will fall on you to raise our fortunes.
Jane: But Lizzy, I would wish…I should so much like…to marry for love.
Elizabeth: And soon you shall!
Jane: Are you sure?
Elizabeth: Only take care you fall in love with a man of good fortune.
Jane: Well I shall try. To please you! And you?
Elizabeth: I am determined that nothing but the very deepest love will induce me into7)matrimony. So, I shall end an old maid and teach your ten children to 8)embroider cushions and play their instruments very ill. (laughter)
伊丽莎白:但愿我爱上的男人,不在乎我只有一年50磅生活费的身价,那我就很庆幸了。
简:是啊。
伊丽莎白:但这种男人一定不聪明,而你也知道,我绝不会爱脑子有问题的人。
简:噢,丽西(伊丽莎白昵称)!夫妻如果不能相爱相敬,婚姻一定不会幸福,双方都不会快乐。
伊丽莎白:这种例子我们每天都看得到(暗指其父母)。但乞丐,你也明白,是没资格挑剔的。
简:我们并非一贫如洗,丽西。
伊丽莎白:爸爸的产业限定只传给男丁,我们只能靠魅力来表现自己。我们姐妹中至少得有一个嫁入豪门,且你比我们其他人美丽5倍,性格又是最温柔的,恐怕这光荣的任务要落到你头上,我们都得靠你提拔。
简:可是,丽西,我希望……我多么希望……嫁的是我所爱的人。
伊丽莎白:你一定会的!
简:你确定?
伊丽莎白:只要注意得爱上有钱的人。
简:那我尽力而为,好让你满意!你呢?
伊丽莎白:我下定决心,除非有着最深刻的爱,否则无法让我走进围城。这样一来,我就会变成老处女,教你的10个孩子绣椅垫和弹一手烂琴。(大笑)
Unabashed 直言不讳
Elizabeth: 她既看不起上流社会的虚伪和做作,也忍受不了达西先生傲慢自负的态度。既然无法练就一副趋炎附势的嘴脸,不如做回遇强则刚的自己。
Miss Bingley: Miss Elizabeth, let me persuade you to follow my example and take a turn about the room. It’s so refreshing. Will you not join us, Mr. Darcy?
Mr. Darcy: That would defeat the object.
Miss Bingley: What do you mean, sir? What on earth can he mean?
Elizabeth: I think we would do better not to inquire.
Miss Bingley: May we insist on knowing your meaning, sir?
Mr. Darcy: Why that your figures appear to best advantage when walking and that I might best admire them from my present position.
Miss Bingley: (laughter) Shocking! 9)Abominable reply! How shall we punish him, Miss Elizabeth?
Elizabeth: Nothing so easy. Tease him. Laugh at him.
Miss Bingley: Laugh at Mr. Darcy? Impossible! He is a man without fault.
Elizabeth: Is he indeed? A man without fault!
Mr. Darcy: That is not possible for anyone, but it has been my study to avoid those weaknesses which expose a strong understanding to 10)ridicule.
Elizabeth: Such as vanity perhaps, and pride?
Mr. Darcy: Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride…where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will always be under good regulation. I have faults enough, Miss Bennet, but I hope they are not of understanding. My temper I cannot 11)vouch for. It might be called resentful. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.
Elizabeth: That is a failing indeed, but I cannot laugh at it.
Mr. Darcy: I believe every disposition has a tendency to some particular evil.
Elizabeth: Your defect is a 12)propensity to hate everyone.
Mr. Darcy: Well, yours is willfully to misunderstand them.
Miss Bingley: Shall we have some music? Hmm?
宾利小姐:伊丽莎白小姐,赏脸陪我在屋里走走,提提神吧!您不一起来吗,达西先生?
达西先生:那只会适得其反。
宾利小姐:您是什么意思,先生?他到底是什么意思?
伊丽莎白:我想我们还是别问的好。
宾利小姐:不,我们非问个清楚才行。
达西先生:你们走路时体态最为美丽,我在这个位置欣赏最好不过。
宾利小姐:(大笑)天啊!嘴巴坏透了!我们该怎么罚他,伊丽莎白小姐?
伊丽莎白:实在太容易了。戏弄他,嘲笑他。
宾利小姐:嘲笑达西先生?想都别想,他这人完美无缺。
伊丽莎白:是吗?一个完美无缺的人!
达西先生:谁也不可能完美无缺。但我用心避免这些容易闹笑话的缺点。
伊丽莎白:就像虚荣,是吗?还有傲慢?
达西先生:虚荣的确是缺点,不过傲慢……若是智慧高人一等,骄傲也会有分寸的。我也有缺点,班内特小姐,但我希望不是头脑不好。我不敢说自己脾气好,不妨说我性子火爆。一旦遭我唾弃者,就永世不得翻身。
伊丽莎白:这的确是缺点,但我不能加以嘲笑。
达西先生:我相信每种脾性,都可能造成某种害处。
伊丽莎白:你的缺点是喜欢讨厌每个人。
达西先生:而你的缺点是故意误解他人。
宾利小姐:我们来听听音乐好吗?
Understandable冰释前嫌
年纪最小的丽迪亚个性天真而鲁莽,最终和虚伪浪荡的韦克翰私奔。在达西的大力暗中帮助下两人才正式结婚,让班内特一家人免遭身败名裂之灾。伊丽莎白为自己曾误信韦克翰对达西的污蔑而感到懊恼。
Elizabeth: Mr. Darcy. I can go no longer without thanking you for your kindness to my poor sister. I know what trouble and what 13)mortification it must have cost you. Please let me say this. Please allow me to thank you, on behalf of all my family, since they don’t know to whom they are 14)indebted.
Mr. Darcy: If you will thank me, let it be for yourself alone. Your family is nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you.
You are too generous to 15)trifle with me. If your feelings are what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.
Elizabeth: My feelings are…I’m ashamed to remember what I said then. My feelings are so different. In fact, they are quite the opposite.
Mr. Darcy: My behaviour to you at the time was 16)unpardonable. I can hardly think of it without 17)abhorrence. Your 18)reproof I shall never forget. “Had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner,…” You know not how those words have tortured me.
Elizabeth: I had not the smallest idea of they ever being taken in such a way.
Mr. Darcy: I can easily believe it. You thought me 19)devoid of every proper feeling, I’m sure you did. The turn of your 20)countenance, I shall never forget. You said that I could not have addressed you in any possible way that would induce you to accept me.
Elizabeth: Ohh, do not repeat what I said then.
Mr. Darcy:I have been a selfish being all my life. As a child I was given good principles, but was left to follow them in pride and 21)conceit. And such I might still have been but for you.
伊丽莎白:达西先生,我一定得谢谢你,对我可怜的妹妹这么仁慈。我知道,这一定让你非常麻烦又丢脸。请让我说一句,让我谢谢你。代表我全家人谢你,因为他们不知道恩人是谁。
达西先生:如果要谢我,你一个人谢我就行了。你家人不欠我什么,我虽然敬重他们,但我相信这完全是因为你。
我知道你为人爽快,不会戏弄我。若你的感觉跟去年4月时一样,就干脆告诉我。我的感情和心意依旧,但只要你一句话,我以后再不会旧话重提。
伊丽莎白:我的感觉……我根本没脸记起我说过的那些话。我的感觉已经变了很多。事实上,已经完全相反了。
达西先生:我当时那样对你,的确不可原谅。现在想起还觉得令人厌恶。你骂我的话我永不会忘记,“因为你太没有绅士风度,……”你不知道这些话对我是怎样一种折磨。
伊丽莎白:我完全不知道,你会看得这么严重。
达西先生:这我也理解。你当时一定认为我冷酷无情。我永远也忘不了,你当时脸色一变,你说不管我怎么说,你都不会接受我的求婚。
伊丽莎白:噢,别再重复我当时的话了。
达西先生:我这辈子一直都很自私。父母虽然教育我要善良,却任由我表现得骄傲自大。要不是你,我可能依然故我。 翻译:林敏
