這是第69天閱讀英文版《傲慢與偏見》。
伊莉莎白繼續(xù)與簡聊天：
“Certainly not; at first. But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them. Miss Bingley is to live with her brother and keep his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming neighbour in her.”
我把這段英文轉(zhuǎn)化為中文：
“當(dāng)然不是，起初。但是她們是令人愉快的女人當(dāng)時與她們交談時。賓利小姐和哥哥住一起照看他的房子；如果我們沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)她是有魅力的鄰居那我就非常的錯了?！?br/>二
我給出幾個詞匯的簡潔注釋，這是我查閱的，我補(bǔ)充若干權(quán)威例句，權(quán)威例句都是英語權(quán)威媒體的文字，這個實(shí)用價值我覺得更高：
1. pleasing
詞性：形容詞
含義：討人喜歡的；令人愉快的
用法：“very pleasing women”，很有好感的女人。
我補(bǔ)充幾個權(quán)威例句，體會“pleasing”的用法：

三
我把這段文字逐句拆解閱讀：
1. “Certainly not; at first.”
Certainly not：“當(dāng)然不是”。
at first：“起初”。
2. “But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them.”
pleasing：“討人喜歡的”。
converse with：“與……交談”。
3. “Miss Bingley is to live with her brother and keep his house;”
is to live：“打算居住”。
keep his house：“打理他的家務(wù)”。
4. “and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming neighbour in her.”
I am much mistaken if...：“如果……那我就大錯特錯了”。
charming neighbour：“迷人的鄰居”。
“charming”，迷人的。
這段文字是伊麗莎白對賓利姐妹給予了好的看法，后續(xù)貝家女兒們會與賓利姐妹有交往嗎？
