1.When tea was over, Mr. Hurst reminded his sister-in-law of the card-table -- but in vain. She had obtained private intelligence that Mr. Darcy did not wish for cards; and Mr. Hurst soon found even his open petition rejected.过了一会,赫斯特先生叫她摆,还是碰了壁。
红句翻的对吗,如果说open在这里是公开的意思,这句该怎么翻
2.What does “by the by”mean?
3. but as for the ball, it is quite a settled thing; and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough I shall send round my cards.'' What does the green sentence mean ?
Nicholls has made white soup enough 好象不是俗语嘛,是不是该直译?
但是舞会一定要开,一等事事准备就绪,我就发请贴。
这是我看的中文版的翻译,不知它是把它当俗语翻了,还是根本就没翻
但若直译,white soup该作何理解,nicholls前面好象也没出现这么个人 38
4. Teaze calmness of temper and presence of mind! No, no -- I feel he may defy us there.
不,不,我想他会把我们驳得体无完肤的
不行,不行,我看我们不一定斗的过他

5.And as to laughter, we will not expose ourselves, if you please, by attempting to laugh without a subject. Mr. Darcy may hug himself.''
这还是彬格莱小姐接着上面说的话,hug在这里怎么理解 40
6.``Certainly,'' replied Elizabeth -- ``there are such people, but I hope I am not one of them. I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good.
,伊丽莎百回答说,“确有这样的人,但我希望我不是。我希望我从没嘲笑过真正聪明出色的东西。
这种人肯定有,但我恐怕不能算在此列。别人干得聪明,漂亮的事我想我还没有嘲笑过。
哪个好些,
hope有时是不是也可表一种判断的语气? 40
7.But it has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong understanding to ridicule.''
This is Darcy’s saying ,how to understand this sentence? 40
8.Could vanity mean “虚荣”?
If it could, what’s the difference between pride and vanity when vanity means “虚荣”? 40
9.My temper would perhaps be called resentful.
我大概属于那种容易记恨的人
也许,我的脾气容易产生怨恨
哪个好些 41
10.and Darcy, after a few moments recollection, was not sorry for it. He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention. “It” refers to Miss Bingley’s advise to play music.

Which is correct? 41
