Charlottehad hardly time to answer, before they were joined by Kitty, who came to tellthe same news, and no sooner had they entered the breakfast-room, where Mrs.Bennet was alone, than she likewise began on the subject, calling on Miss Lucasfor her compassion, and entreating her to persuade her friend Lizzy to complywith the wishes of all her family. "pray do, my dear Miss Lucas," sheadded in a melancholy tone, "for nobody is on my side, nobody takes partwith me, I am cruelly used, nobody feels for my poor nerves."
Charlotte'sreply was spared by the entrance of Jane and Elizabeth.
"Aye,there she comes," continued Mrs. Bennet, "looking as unconcerned asmay be, and caring no more for us than if we were at York, provided she canhave her own way. -- But I tell you what, Miss Lizzy, if you take it into yourhead to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way, you will never geta husband at all -- and I am sure I do not know who is to maintain you whenyour father is dead. -- I shall not be able to keep you -- and so I warn you.-- I have done with you from this very day. -- I told you in the library, youknow, that I should never speak to you again, and you will find me as good asmy word. I have no pleasure in talking to undutiful children, -- Not that Ihave much pleasure indeed in talking to any body. people who suffer as I dofrom nervous complaints can have no great inclination for talking. Nobody cantell what I suffer! -- But it is always so. Those who do not complain are neverpitied."
有几个方面不知道,请教老师:
1)as may be 如何理解?
2)这里的caring nomore for us than if we were at York...这个句子麻烦老师剖析一下结构和意思,没了解。
3)it - 具体是指代什么呢?
4)find me asgood as my word 如何理解?
谢谢老师!
1 as...as may be = as... as can be = as ... aspossible. 这是习语,不要再剖析。再剖析你也不好理解,只不过自寻烦恼。
2 caring no more for us than if we were at York= caring no more for us than she would be if we were at York. more在此为副词,no more than 意为和...一样不,表示否定意义。
3 it 为形式宾语,真的宾语为不定式短语 to go on refusing every offer of marriage in this way。
4 as good as one's word 为习语,意为某人说话算数。
