"en": "She put down the letter, weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be impartiality--deliberated on the probability of each statement--but with little success. On both sides it was only assertion.",
"fr": "Quittant sa lecture, elle se mit a réfléchir sur chaque circonstance et a peser chaque témoignage en s’efforçant d’etre impartiale, mais elle ne s’en trouva pas beaucoup plus avancée : d’un côté comme de l’autre, elle était en présence de simples assertions."

"en": "Again she read on; but every line proved more clearly that the affair, which she had believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to render Mr. Darcy's conduct in it less than infamous, was capable of a turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole.",
"fr": "Elle reprit encore la lettre et, cette fois, chaque ligne lui prouva clairement que cette affaire, qu’elle croyait impossible de présenter de maniere a justifier Mr. Darcy, était susceptible de prendre un aspect sous lequel sa conduite apparaissait absolument irréprochable."

"en": "The extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay at Mr. Wickham's charge, exceedingly shocked her; the more so, as she could bring no proof of its injustice. She had never heard of him before his entrance into the ----shire Militia, in which he had engaged at the persuasion of the young man who, on meeting him accidentally in town, had there renewed a slight acquaintance.",
"fr": "L’accusation de prodigalité et de dévergondage portée contre Wickham excitait cependant son indignation, – l’excitait d’autant plus, peut-etre, qu’elle ne pouvait rien découvrir qui en prouvât l’injustice.

"en": "His countenance, voice, and manner had established him at once in the possession of every virtue. She tried to recollect some instance of goodness, some distinguished trait of integrity or benevolence, that might rescue him from the attacks of Mr. Darcy; or at least, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what Mr. Darcy had described as the idleness and vice of many years' continuance.",
"fr": "Elle essaya de retrouver dans son esprit quelque trait de délicatesse ou de générosité qui put le défendre contre les accusations de Mr. Darcy, ou, tout au moins, en dénotant une réelle valeur morale, racheter ce qu’elle voulait considérer comme des erreurs passageres ; mais aucun souvenir de ce genre ne lui revint a la mémoire."

"fr": "Mais hélas ! le passage relatant les desseins de Wickham sur miss Darcy se trouvait confirmé par la conversation qu’elle avait eue la veille avec le colonel Fitzwilliam, et, finalement, Darcy la renvoyait au témoignage de Fitzwilliam lui-meme, qu’elle savait etre, plus que personne, au courant des affaires de son cousin et dont elle n’avait aucune raison de suspecter la bonne foi."

Son attitude envers elle-meme ne pouvait avoir de mobiles louables : ou bien il avait été trompé sur sa fortune, ou bien il avait satisfait sa vanité en encourageant une sympathie qu’elle avait eu l’imprudence de lui laisser voir."

En outre, si peu agréables que fussent ses manieres, jamais au cours de leurs rapports qui, plus fréquents en dernier lieu, lui avaient permis de le mieux connaître, elle n’avait rien vu chez lui qui accusât un manque de principes ou qui trahît des habitudes répréhensibles au point de vue moral ou religieux."
