Английское слово advantage перевод на русский язык.

When you told Mrs. Bennet this morning, that if you ever resolved upon quitting Netherfield you should be gone in five minutes, you meant it to be a sort of panegyric, of compliment to yourself

— and yet what is there so very laudable in a precipitance which must leave very necessary business undone, and can be of no real advantage to yourself or anyone else?”

— “Nay,” cried Bingley, “this is too much, to remember at night all the foolish things that were said in the morning.

And yet, upon my honour, I believe what I said of myself to be true, and I believed it at this moment.

At least, therefore, I did not assume the character of needless precipitance merely to shew off before the ladies.”

— “I dare say you believed it;

but I am by no means convinced that you would be gone with such celerity.

Your conduct would be quite as dependant on chance as that of any man I know;

and if, as you were mounting your horse, a friend were to say,

'Bingley, you had better stay till next week,'

you would probably do it — you would probably not go

— and, at another word, might stay a month.”
