question: Which girl often reads great books and makes extacts in the Bennet’s?

TEXT

The girls stared at their father. Mrs. Bennet said only, `` Nonsense , nonsense!''
``What can be the meaning of that emphatic exclamation ?'' cried he. ``Do you consider the forms of introduction, and the stress that is laid on them, as nonsense? I cannot quite agree with you there. What say you, Mary? for you are a young lady of deep reflection I know, and read great books, and make extracts.''
Mary wished to say something very sensible , but knew not how.
``While Mary is adjusting her ideas,'' he continued, ``let us return to Mr. Bingley.''
``I am sick of Mr. Bingley,'' cried his wife.
``I am sorry to hear that; but why did not you tell me so before? If I had known as much this morning, I certainly would not have called on him. It is very unlucky; but as I have actually paid the visit, we cannot escape the acquaintance now.''
The astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished; that of Mrs. Bennet perhaps surpassing the rest; though when the first tumult of joy was over, she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the while.
``How good it was in you, my dear Mr. Bennet! But I knew I should persuade you at last. I was sure you loved our girls too well to neglect such an acquaintance. Well, how pleased I am! and it is such a good joke, too, that you should have gone this morning, and never said a word about it till now.''
``Now, Kitty, you may cough as much as you chuse,'' said Mr. Bennet; and, as he spoke, he left the room, fatigued with the raptures of his wife.
``What an excellent father you have, girls,'' said she, when the door was shut. ``I do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness; or me either, for that matter. At our time of life, it is not so pleasant I can tell you, to be making new acquaintance every day; but for your sakes , we would do any thing. Lydia, my love, though you are the youngest, I dare say Mr. Bingley will dance with you at the next ball.''
``Oh!'' said Lydia stoutly , ``I am not afraid; for though I am the youngest, I'm the tallest.''
The rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing how soon he would return Mr. Bennet's visit, and determining when they should ask him to dinner.

Notes To Text

1.for you are a young lady of deep reflection I know, and read great books, and make extracts〖译文〗我知道你是个有独到见解的少女,读的书都是皇皇巨著,而且还要做札记。【解析】reflection 我们熟知的意思是反射,反射物的意思,这里正确的意思是A thought or an opinion resulting from such consideration.深思熟虑的想法:通过这种考虑产生的想法或观点。这里翻译为独到见解的,或者是心思敏捷的少女都是很贴切的,大家看看如下的英文该如何释义呢?1,lost in reflection 2, act without sufficient reflection 3,a moment's reflection will show you are wrong. 释义:1,陷入沉思,2,草率行事3,只要稍加考虑就可以看出你错了。这里make extract 是做笔记,做札记的意思。A passage from a literary work; an excerpt.摘录:从文学作品中摘录下来的一段;摘录.ex是前缀out的意思,tract =draw.很形象的记忆。

2,though when the first tumult of joy was over, she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the while. 〖译文〗不过,这样欢天喜地地喧嚷了一阵以后,她便当众宣布,说这件事她早就料到的。【解析】all the while 是始终,一直的意思。作者用了一个很好的though引导的让步壮语从句,表现了Bennet 太太的那"可爱"的虚荣心,令人读起来,忍俊不禁。tumult n din or uproar produced by this.喧闹声,嘈杂声,例句:One had to shout to be heard above the tumult 声音嘈杂,大声喊才能听到!

3.I was sure you loved our girls too well to neglect such an acquaintance. 〖译文〗你既然疼爱自己的女儿,当然就不会把这样一个朋友不放在心上。【解析】这是一个典型的too…to..结构,表示太怎么样而不能怎么样。咱们来简单复习一下: too…to 结构 a) 通常表示否定意义:She was too young to understand all that. b) 表示肯定意义的情况 i. too + ready/anxious/eager+ to do ii. only/all/but/really+ too c) 否定形式 i. not/never too…… to……..不很,,,所以能。。 ii. too……not to ….很。。。。。不会不。。。。

4,Now, Kitty, you may cough as much as you chuse〖译文〗吉蒂,现在你可以放心大胆地咳嗽啦【解析】这里Bennet先生对太太向女儿Kitty无端指责的一种"诙谐"的回应。现在"麻烦"解决了。让我们尽情的咳嗽吧!!!!

5,for though I am the youngest, I'm the tallest.'' 〖译文〗年纪虽然是我最小,个儿算我顶高【解析】小女儿Lydia这句台词爆搞笑,有一种"虽然我年龄小,但是我本领高"的革命主义精神,真是"Bingley如此多娇,引无数lady尽折腰。"幸福啊!!!不过这种对称结构值得我们在平时的写作中注意。
