| Her skin was very brown, but, from its transparency, her complexion was uncommonly brilliant; her features were all good; her smile was sweet and attractive; and in her eyes, which were very dark, there was a life, a spirit, an eagerness, which could hardily be seen without delight. | Прозрачная смуглость кожи не умаляла яркости румянца, все черты обворожали, улыбка пленяла, а темные глаза искрились такой живостью и одушевлением, что невольно восхищали всех, кто встречал их взор. |
| From Willoughby their expression was at first held back, by the embarrassment which the remembrance of his assistance created. | От У иллоби в первые минуты их блеск был скрыт смущением, которое вызвали воспоминания о его услуге. |
| But when this passed away, when her spirits became collected, when she saw that to the perfect good-breeding of the gentleman, he united frankness and vivacity, and above all, when she heard him declare, that of music and dancing he was passionately fond, she gave him such a look of approbation as secured the largest share of his discourse to herself for the rest of his stay. | Но когда оно рассеялось, когда она вновь стала сама собой и успела заметить, что безупречность манер в нем сочетается с открытым и веселым характером, а, главное, когда он признался в страстной любви к музыке и танцам, она одарила его взглядом, полным такого горячего одобрения, что до конца визита он обращал почти все свои слова к ней. |
| It was only necessary to mention any favourite amusement to engage her to talk. | Чтобы вовлечь ее в разговор, достаточно было упомянуть какое-нибудь любимое ее занятие. |
| She could not be silent when such points were introduced, and she had neither shyness nor reserve in their discussion. | В подобных случаях промолчать у нее недоставало силы, и говорила она со всем жаром искренности, без тени робости или сдержанности. |
| They speedily discovered that their enjoyment of dancing and music was mutual, and that it arose from a general conformity of judgment in all that related to either. | Как они с Уиллоби не замедлили обнаружить, танцы и музыка доставляли им равное наслаждение, и причина заключалась в общности их склонностей и суждений. |
| Encouraged by this to a further examination of his opinions, she proceeded to question him on the subject of books; her favourite authors were brought forward and dwelt upon with so rapturous a delight, that any young man of five and twenty must have been insensible indeed, not to become an immediate convert to the excellence of such works, however disregarded before. |
