orgullo –observó Mary, que se preciaba mucho de la solidez de sus reflexiones–, es un defecto muy común. Por todo lo que he leído, estoy convencida de que en realidad es muy frecuente que la naturaleza humana sea especialmente propensa a él, hay muy pocos que no abriguen un sentimiento de autosuficiencia por una u otra razón, ya sea real o imaginaria. La vanidad y el orgullo son cosas distintas, aunque muchas veces se usen como sinónimos. El orgullo está relacionado con la opinión que tenemos de nosotros mismos; la vanidad, con lo que quisiéramos que los demás pensaran de nosotros.

Nothing is more deceitful,’ said Darcy, ‘than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion,

My dear, dear aunt,' she rapturously cried, what delight! what felicity! You give me fresh life and vigour. Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains? Oh! what hours of transport we shall spend! And when we do return, it shall not be like other travellers, without being able to give one accurate idea of any thing. We will know where we have gone -- we will recollect what we have seen.

Sólo estoy dispuesta a actuar de la manera más acorde, en mi opinión, con mi futura felicidad, sin tener en cuenta lo que usted o cualquier otra persona igualmente ajena a mí, piense.

لكن كان صديقه السيد دارسي، هو الذي سرعان ما جذب انتباه الحجرة كلها بسبب طول قامته، و وجهه الوسيم و التعبير الرائع المرتسم عليه. و انتشر خبر في الأنحاء، بعد أقل من خمس دقائق من دخوله الغرفة، بأن لديه دخل بعشرة آلاف في السنة. قررت الماجدات بسرعة بأنه أوسم بكثير من السيد بنجلي و نظرن إليه بإعجاب عظيم طيلة نصف الأمسية حتى قررن بأنه رجل متكبر جدًا، و أن لا شيء يمكن أن يسرّه و لم يبدُ أنه يستمتع بالرقص. عندئذ لم تنقذه كل نقوده و لا نظراته من أن يكون غير بهيج في أعينهن، أو من أن يكون أقل جاذبية بكثير من صديقه.

Tengo la certeza, querida tía, de que nunca he estado muy enamorada, pues si realmente hubiera experimentado esa pasión pura y elevada, ahora detestaría hasta el nombre de semejante individuo y le desearía toda suerte de males.
