6.Sentences
“I have an excessive regard for Miss Jane Bennet, she is really a very sweet girl, and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is no chance of it.”
无论在那个时期,那个国家,父母都是子女的代言人。所以很多时候都是通过父母来判别子女的品行。同样,门第亦是如此。也许门当户对不一定幸福。但是,门第的悬殊带来的更多是蔑视和嘲讽。
she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half-deserved.
虽然是讽刺,但是与"你的气质里,藏着你读过的书和走过的路。"有异曲同工之处。
