By many significant looks and silent entreaties, did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance, — but in vain; Mary would not understand them; such an opportunity of exhibiting was delightful to her, and she began her song. Элизабет попыталась взглядом предотвратить такую самоотверженность с ее стороны, но тщетно. Обрадовавшись возможности показать себя во всем блеске, Мэри не хотела ничего понимать и тут же уселась за фортепьяно.

Dictionary: by many significant looks and silent entreaties did she endeavour to prevent such a proof of complaisance but in vain mary would not understand them such an opportunity of exhibiting was delightful to her and she began her song

Elizabeth's eyes were fixed on her with most painful sensations; and she watched her progress through the several stanzas with an impatience which was very ill rewarded at their close; for Mary, on receiving amongst the thanks of the table, the hint of a hope that she might be prevailed on to favour them again, after the pause of half a minute began another. С крайней досадой Элизабет, не отрывая глаз, наблюдала за сестрой и нетерпеливо следила, как та переходит от куплета к куплету. Окончание песни, впрочем, не принесло облегчения — уловив среди одобрительных возгласов намек на просьбу продлить доставленное удовольствие, сестра тотчас же принялась за новую.

Mary's powers were by no means fitted for such a display; her voice was weak, and her manner affected. — Elizabeth was in agonies. Мэри не обладала никакими данными для выступлений перед публикой: голос у нее был слабый, манера исполнения — вымученная. Элизабет была в отчаянии.

She looked at Jane, to see how she bore it; but Jane was very composedly talking to Bingley. Она посмотрела на старшую сестру, чтобы узнать, как эту же муку переживает Джейн. Но Джейн очень мило болтала с Бингли. She looked at his two sisters, and saw them making signs of derision at each other, and at Darcy, who continued, however, impenetrably grave. Элизабет взглянула на его сестер и увидела, что они делают насмешливые знаки друг другу и мистеру Дарси, который, однако, сохранял непроницаемо мрачное выражение.
