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 emphatic¹ exclamation² ?'' 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<sup>3</sup> of the ladies was just what he wished; that of Mrs. Bennet perhaps surpassing the rest; though when the first tumult<sup>4</sup> 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<sup>5</sup>, he left the room, fatigued<sup>6</sup> with the raptures<sup>7</sup> 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<sup>8</sup> 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 stoutly⁹ , ``I am not afraid; for though I am the youngest, I'm the tallest.''
The rest of the evening was spent in conjecturing¹⁰ 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 excerpt¹².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 din¹¹ or uproar¹³ 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。
