It is a truth（真理） universally（普遍地） acknowledged（承认） that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views（ 看法） of such a man may（可能） be on his first entering（走进） a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds（头脑） of the surrounding（围绕） families that he is considered（认为） as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr.Bennett," said his lady（女士） to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last（最后）?" Mr.Bennett replied（回答） that he had not. "But it is," returned she, "for Mrs.Long has just been here and she told me all about it." Mr.Bennett made no answer. "Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried（哭） his wife impatiently.
