(小乡绅班纳特有五个待字闺中的千金，班纳特太太整天操心着为女儿物称心如意的丈夫。
新来的邻居Bingley是个有钱的单身汉，他立即成了班纳特太太追猎的目标。在一次舞会上,Bingley对班纳特家的大女儿Jane一见钟情，班纳特太太为此欣喜若狂。
参加舞会的还有Bingley的好友Darcy。他仪表堂堂，非常富有，许多姑娘纷纷向他投去羡慕的目光；但他非常骄傲，认为她们都不配做他的舞伴，其中包括简的妹妹Elizabeth。Elizabeth自尊心很强，决定不去理睬这个傲慢的家伙。)
S1 初见，一个傲慢，一个偏见
(Bingley & Darcy is walking form the door, Elizabeth & Jane are looking at them) Elizabeth: Smile at Mr. Bingley. Smile! (to Jane)
Father: Mr. Bingley, this is Jane and her sister Elizabeth.
Mother: It is a pleasure. l have three others, but they're already dancing.
Bingley: I'm delighted to make your acquaintance.
Father: And may l introduce Mr. Darcy of Pemberley in Derbyshire.
Jane: How do you like it here in Hertfordshire?
Bingley: Very much!
Elizabeth: The library at Netherfield, I've heard, is one of the finest.
Bingley: It fills me with guilt. I'm not a good reader. I prefer being out doors…Oh, l mean, l can read, of course. And I'm not suggesting you can not read out of doors.
Jane: I wish l read more, but there seem to be so many other things to do.
Bingley: That's exactly what l meant.
(Bingley is dancing with Jane.)
Elizabeth: Do you dance, Mr. Darcy?
Darcy: Not if l can help it.
(一曲结束)
Mother: How well you dance, Mr. Bingley.
Bingley: I've never enjoyed a dance so much.
Mother: My daughter Jane is a splendid dancer, is she not?
Bingley: She is indeed.
Mother: Of course, it's my Jane who's considered the beauty of the county. When she was 15, a gentleman did write her some very verses.
Elizabeth: I wonder who discovered the power of poetry in driving away love. Darcy: I thought poetry was the food of love. Of a fine, stout love.
Elizabeth But if it is only a vague inclination, one poor sonnet will kill it.
Darcy: So, what do you recommend to encourage affection?
英语话剧剧本Elizabeth: Dancing. Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.
(可是不久,Darcy对Elizabeth活泼可爱的举止产生了好感，在另一次舞会
上主动请她同舞。)
S2 再见，不欢而散
Darcy: May I have the next dance, Miss Elizabeth?
Elizabeth: You may.
Elizabeth: Did I agree to dance with Mr. Darcy?
Charlotte: I dare say you will find him amiable.
Elizabeth: It would be most inconvenient since I've worn to loathe him for all eternity.
(Elizabeth is dancing with Darcy)
Elizabeth: I love this dance.
Darcy: Indeed. Most invigorating.
Elizabeth: It is your turn to say something, Mr. Darcy. I talked about the dance. Now you ought to remark on the size of the room or the number of couples.
Darcy: I'm perfectly happy to oblige. What would you like most to hear? Elizabeth: That reply will do for present… Perhaps by and by l may observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones…For now, we may remain silent. Darcy: Do you talk as a rule while dancing?
Elizabeth: No, No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn…Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you think?
Darcy: Tell me, do you and your sisters very often walk to Meryton?
Elizabeth: Yes, it's a great opportunity to meet new people.
Darcy: Mr. Wickham's blessed with such happy manners, he's sure of making friends. Whether he's capable of retaining them is less so.
Elizabeth: He's been so unfortunate as to lose your friendship.
That is irreversible? Darcy: It is. Why do you ask such a question?
Elizabeth: To make out your character.
Darcy: What have you discovered?
Elizabeth: Very little.
Darcy: I hope to afford you more clarity in the future.
S3 雨中告白，爱恨交融(此段是重头戏)
Darcy: Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings only to see you. I have fought against judgment, my family's expectation, the
inferiority of your birth, my rank. I will put them aside and ask you to end my agony.
Elizabeth: I don’t understand.
Darcy: I love you. (Pause) Most ardently.
Darcy: (cont'd) the inferiority of your birth . . . my rank (Stumblingly) all but I'm willing to put and ask you to end
Elizabeth: I don'
Darcy: (with passion) I love you. Most ardently.
Elizabeth stares at him.
Darcy: (cont'd) Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.
(A silence. Lizzie struggles with the most painful confusion of feeling.Finally she recovers.)
Elizabeth: (voice shaking) Sir, I appreciate the struggle you have been through, and I am very sorry to have caused you pain. Believe me,
it was unconsciously done.
(A silence. Gathering her shawl, she gets to her feet.)
Darcy: (stares) is this your reply?
Elizabeth: Yes, sir.
