昨日流量收入1.56元。
這是第47天讀英文版《傲慢與偏見(jiàn)》。
Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit down for two dances; and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been standing near enough for her to overhear a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend to join it.
我先掃除生詞:
1. Elizabeth Bennet
詞性:專有名詞
含義:伊麗莎白·貝內(nèi)特
用法:小說(shuō)主角,貝家二姑娘,機(jī)智、獨(dú)立對(duì)達(dá)西有偏見(jiàn)。
2. obliged
詞性:形容詞
含義:被迫的;不得不
用法:“had been obliged”,“不得不”。
3. scarcity
詞性:名詞
含義:缺乏;不足
用法:“the scarcity of gentlemen”,男士數(shù)量不足。
4. overhear
詞性:動(dòng)詞
含義:無(wú)意中聽(tīng)到;偶然聽(tīng)到
用法:“to overhear a conversation”,無(wú)意中聽(tīng)到對(duì)話。
5. press
詞性:動(dòng)詞
含義:敦促;極力勸說(shuō)
用法:“to press his friend to join it”,勸說(shuō)朋友跳舞。
我把這段文字給出對(duì)應(yīng)的中文:
伊麗莎白不得不坐著,因?yàn)槲钑?huì)的男士數(shù)量少,她坐了兩場(chǎng)舞;這期間,達(dá)西站在附近,她無(wú)意中聽(tīng)到了達(dá)西和賓利的對(duì)話,從來(lái)跳舞的幾分鐘,賓利就一直勸說(shuō)他去跳舞。

為了更好的理解這段文字,我逐句拆解開(kāi)讀一遍:
1. Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit down for two dances;
“had been obliged to”,不得不。
“by the scarcity of gentlemen”,由于男士稀缺。
“sit down for two dances”,坐下來(lái)錯(cuò)過(guò)兩支舞。
2. and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been standing near enough for her to overhear a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley,
“during part of that time”,在這期間。
“standing near enough”,站得足夠近。
“overhear”,無(wú)意中聽(tīng)到。
“a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley”,他和賓利之間的對(duì)話。
3. who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend to join it.
“who came from the dance”,從舞池中走出來(lái)的人。
“for a few minutes”,幾分鐘。
“to press his friend to join it”,勸說(shuō)他的朋友跳舞。
“press”,極力勸說(shuō)。
這段文字的核心是伊麗莎白聽(tīng)到了達(dá)西與賓利的對(duì)話,接下來(lái)是什么呢?繼續(xù)跟著我的閱讀走。
