這是第50天閱讀英文版《傲慢與偏見》。
“I would not be so fastidious as you are,” cried Bingley, “for a kingdom! Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life, as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see uncommonly pretty.”
這段文字是什么意思呢,我瞄了一眼陌生詞的簡潔注釋,因此,我把這段文字的中文寫這里:
“我沒有你那樣挑剔”,賓利大叫著,“就是給我一個王國!我以榮譽保證,我從來沒見過這么多漂亮的姑娘們,除了今晚;你看到的那幾個姑娘多么漂亮啊。”
我把幾個略微陌生的詞匯給出簡潔注釋,這是我查閱的:
1. fastidious
詞性:形容詞
含義:挑剔的;講究的;難以取悅的
用法:挑剔
2. kingdom
詞性:名詞
含義:王國;領域;管轄范圍
用法:“for a kingdom”,“無論如何也不”。
3. honour
詞性:名詞
含義:名譽;榮譽;信用
用法:“Upon my honour”,“我以名譽擔保”。
4. pleasant
詞性:形容詞
含義:令人愉快的;可愛的;友好的
用法:“pleasant girls”,姑娘們很可愛、令人愉快。
5. several
詞性:形容詞
含義:幾個的;數個的
用法:“several of them”,好幾個。
6. uncommonly
詞性:副詞
含義:極其;非常;罕見地
用法:“uncommonly pretty”,非常漂亮。

為了更好的理解這段文字,我逐句拆解閱讀:
1. "I would not be so fastidious as you are," cried Bingley, "for a kingdom!"
fastidious:挑剔的,講究的。
for a kingdom:這個表達夸張,是“無論如何也不”。
2. "Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life, as I have this evening;"
Upon my honour:固定短語,“我以名譽擔保”。
pleasant:令人愉快的,可愛的。
3. "and there are several of them you see uncommonly pretty."
several:幾個的,數個的。
uncommonly:極其,非常。
這段文字是賓利認為今晚舞會上的姑娘很漂亮,達西太挑剔了。那么,接下來會怎么呢?看后續的文本。
