English to Spanish: Pride and Prejudice extract from chapter 1 General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Chapter 1
IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
``My dear Mr. Bennet,'' said his lady to him one day, ``have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?''
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
``But it is,'' returned she; ``for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.''
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
``Do not you want to know who has taken it?'' cried his wife impatiently.
``You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.''
This was invitation enough.
``Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.''

Cápitulo 1
Es una verdad universalmente aceptada, que un hombre soltero en posesión de una buena fortuna debe querer una esposa.
Sin importar poco los sentimientos o puntos de vista del hombre al entrar al vecindario, esta verdad esta tan fija en las mentes de las familias vecinas, que es considerado como la propiedad de alguna u otra de sus hijas.
"Mi querido Sr. Bennet," le dijo su señora un día" ha usted oído que Netherfield Park ha sido rentada al fin?"
El Sr. Bennet respondió que no lo había escuchado.
"Pero así es," respondió ella, " La Sr. Long acaba de estar aquí, y me ha dicho todo al respecto."
El Sr. Bennett no respondió.
"No está interesado en saber quién la ha alquilado?" le preguntó su esposa impaciente.
"Usted quiere decirme, y yo no tengo ninguna objeción en escucharlo."
Ésto fué suficiente invitación.
"Pues, querido, debes saber que la Sra. Long dice que Netherfield ha sido alquilada por un joven de gran fortuna del norte de Inglaterra; vino el lunes en un landó de cuatro caballos a ver el lugar, y estaba tan encantado con él lugar que llego a un acuerdo con el Sr. Morris inmediatamente; y tomará posesión antes del Día de San Miguel, y algunos de sus sirvientes vendrán a la casa para el final de la próxima semana."
