question: Did Mr. Darcy invite Elizabeth Bennet to dance with him?
TEXT
Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged , by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit down for two dances; and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been standing near enough for her to overheara conversation between him and Mr. Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes to press his friend to join it.
``Come, Darcy,'' said he, ``I must have you dance. I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance.''
``I certainly shall not. You know how I detestit, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room,'' said Mr. Darcy, looking at the eldest Miss Bennet.
``Oh! she is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld ! But there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I dare say very agreeable. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you.''
``Which do you mean?'' and turning round , he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said, ``She is tolerable ; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.''
Mr. Bingley followed his advice. Mr. Darcy walked off ; and Elizabeth remained with no very cordial feelings towards him. She told the story however with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in any thing ridiculous.
They returned in good spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they were the principal inhabitants.
Notes To Text
1， there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.
〖译文〗要是叫舞场里别的女人(跟我跳)，没有一个不叫我活受罪的
【解析】这句话的主干是there be 句型，whom 引导的限制性定语从句，因为需要做with的宾语。所以需用whom，而非who. 作者在这里很明显的安排达西说一些长句子。一方面说明达西出身名门，另一方面也说明他说的话足够令我们可爱的伊丽莎白厌恶。注意体会作者对不同人物的语言描写。
我们在这里集中学习一下插入语的用法：插入语可能是一个词、一个短语或一个句子。?
一、常用做插入语的副词? indeed的确， surely无疑， however然而， obviously显然， frankly坦率地说， naturally自然， luckily (或happily) for sb.算某人幸运， fortunately幸好， strangely奇怪， hone stly真的， briefly简单地说等。?例如： Surely， she won?t go to China Telecom with you.? 当然她不会和你一起去中国电信。?
二、常见的作插入语的形容词或其短语? true真的， funny真可笑， strange to say说也奇怪， needless to say不用说， most impor tant of all最为重要， worse still更糟糕的等。?例如： Strange to say (或True)， he should have done such a thing.? 说也奇怪(或真的)，他竟然做出这样的事。?
三、常用作插入语的介词短语? in a few words(或in sum， in short)简而言之， in other words换句话说， in a sense在某种意义上， in general一般说来， in my view在我看来， in his opinion(judgment)按照他的意见(判断)， in conclusion总之， in summary概括地说， in fact事实上， in the first place首先， in addition此外， of course当然， to our knowledge据我们所知， to my joy(delight， satisfaction)使我欣慰(高兴、满意)的， to their surprise(astonis hment， amazement)使他们惊奇的， to her regret (disappointment)使她遗憾(失望)的， for instance(或example)例如， as a matter of fact事实上等。?例如： Of course， he did not succeed for the lack of experience.? 当然，他由于缺乏经验而未成功。?
四、常用作插入语的不定式短语? to be sure无疑地， to sum up概括地说， to tell the truth老实说等。例如 To be sure， community service can aid re?employment.? 毫无疑问，社区服务能有助于再就业。
五、插入句? I am sure我可以肯定地说， I believe我相信， I wonder我不知道， you know你知道， you see你明白， that is也就是说， it seems看来是， as I see it照我看来， what is impor tant (serious)重要(严重)的是， I?m afraid恐怕， it is said据说等。?1. It will result in success， I suppose. 我想，这件事终于会成功的。
2， But there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty, and I dare say very agreeable.
〖译文〗可是她的一个妹妹就坐在你后面，她也很漂亮，而且我敢说，她也很讨人爱。
【解析】乍一看，这个句子不容易理解。注意 I dare say 做的是插入语。very pretty 和 very agreeable 是平列关系。怎么样？很简单吧！
3， I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.
〖译文〗眼前我可没有兴趣去抬举那些受到别人冷眼看待的小姐。
【解析】这里注意一下humour 的一词多义。众所周知，humnour 有幽默，幽默感的意思。但是此处不是。这里是，人的精神状态，脾气和心情的意思。例如：I'll do it when the humour takes me.但我心情好的时候就去做。in no humour 没有心情。consequence 有结果，影响的意思。这里是重要性的意思。给与小姐们以重视的态度。--很巧妙的翻译成口头的语言：抬举。真是妙趣横生。
4， She told the story however with great spirit among her friends; for she had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in any thing ridiculous.
〖译文〗不过她却满有兴致地把这段偷听到的话去讲给她的朋友听，因为她的个性活泼调皮，遇到任何可笑的事情都会感到兴趣。
【解析】伊丽莎白的性格（disposition）除了活泼调皮以外，是异常坚韧的。一般的"淑女"听到这里，早就抓狂了。但是她却到处散播自己的"丑事"！伊丽莎白的性格魅力是我们所折服的。playful 直译的话是贪玩的。这里作名词性处理成 调皮，很贴切。
