4、回答：“她平時健康狀況怎么樣?”說：“她有點風(fēng)濕病?！薄白罱嗅t(yī)生來給她看過病嗎？”3. 原句：Emily Brent, too - actually a niece of old Tom Brent of the Regiment. Idaccused her of murder! Any one could see with half an eyet the woman was as piousas could be - the kindt was hand and glove with parsons.疑難點：Any one could see with half an eyet the

5、 woman was as pious as could be- the kindt was hand and glove with parsons. 這句話怎么理解？理解：see with half an eye一目了然；一望而知；一看就明白；一眼就看得很清楚hand and glove with (跟)親密無間；(跟)互相parson noun a beneficed member of the clergy; a rector or a vicar有俸祿的牧師；教區(qū)長；教區(qū)牧師參考譯文：任何人一眼就能看出，那個女人無比的虔誠-和親密無間（延伸為一舉一動都聽從指示？）。4. 原句：He t

6、hought: Peaceful sound.

8、chance of being a rianto look forward to. Cyril wasnt born until three months after Maurice died. If hed beena girl. If the child has been a girl, Hugo would have comeo everything. Hed beendisappoed, he admitted.疑難點：keep myself &comeo 怎么理解？從這段話以及下文，大家能否推理出 Brent & Cyril & Maurice& Hugo 的關(guān)系，以及 Brent

9、隱藏的？從句中繼承這一點，又折射出什么樣英國從前的繼承制度?keep ocomelf 養(yǎng)活，維持o (coming came comes) PHRASAL VERB If someone comeso somemoney, some property, or a title, they inherit it. 繼承My father has just comeo a fortunemonds. 我父親剛剛繼承了一筆鉆石。參考譯文：“我不能向你求婚。我身無分文。我能做的只有養(yǎng)活自己。真是奇怪，你知道曾經(jīng)有三個月的時間，我有機會成為我期盼已久的。Cyril 在的三個月應(yīng)該指Maurice 死后三個

10、月才出生（Hugo 指的有機會成為Maurice，Cyril 還沒有出生期間）。如果 Cyril 是個，Hugo 就會繼承一切。他承認(rèn)，他非常失望。英國長男繼承制從中世紀(jì)開始，英國和歐洲的家庭就開始遵循長男繼承制，繼承家業(yè)的，必須是第一位男孩。一家如果有三兄弟，通常是長子繼承祖業(yè)，次子從戎，老三進(jìn)入教堂當(dāng)牧師。如果家中沒男孩，那繼承權(quán)就要轉(zhuǎn)給家中的親戚。這種長男繼承一切的制度，早就在、的小說中讀到過。沒有男丁的家庭，老爺后，那遺孀和女兒們可就慘了，就像傲慢與偏見理智與情感，只能寄人籬下討生活。這種長男繼承制度聽起來有些，卻也是英國大莊園可以在一個中保留幾百年不變的最主要原因。對于英國來說，長男

11、所繼承的，其實是兩部分：第一部分是的頭銜：子男；第二部分是不動產(chǎn)：莊園、土地及其他資產(chǎn)。在英國法律中，這第二部分被稱為“限定繼承的不動產(chǎn)”（entail)。隨著時代的進(jìn)步和社會的發(fā)展，1925年，的頭銜仍然只傳家中長男，但資產(chǎn)“限定繼承”的法律被，也就是說，大莊園的不動產(chǎn)可以（但不是必須）被拆零出售或由女兒繼承。/a/20131114/006619.htm二、提問1. 原句：I hadnt built on it, of course.
