這是第47天讀英文版《傲慢與偏見》。
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 overhear a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend to join it.
我先掃除生詞：
1. Elizabeth Bennet
詞性：專有名詞
含義：伊麗莎白·貝內特
用法：小說主角，貝家二姑娘，機智、獨立對達西有偏見。
2. obliged
詞性：形容詞
含義：被迫的；不得不
用法：“had been obliged”，“不得不”。
3. scarcity
詞性：名詞
含義：缺乏；不足
用法：“the scarcity of gentlemen”，男士數(shù)量不足。
4. overhear
詞性：動詞
含義：無意中聽到；偶然聽到
用法：“to overhear a conversation”，無意中聽到對話。
5. press
詞性：動詞
含義：敦促；極力勸說
用法：“to press his friend to join it”，勸說朋友跳舞。
我把這段文字給出對應的中文：
伊麗莎白不得不坐著，因為舞會的男士數(shù)量少，她坐了兩場舞；這期間，達西站在附近，她無意中聽到了達西和賓利的對話，從來跳舞的幾分鐘，賓利就一直勸說他去跳舞。

為了更好的理解這段文字，我逐句拆解開讀一遍：
1. Elizabeth Bennet had been obliged, by the scarcity of gentlemen, to sit down for two dances;
“had been obliged to”，不得不。
“by the scarcity of gentlemen”，由于男士稀缺。
“sit down for two dances”，坐下來錯過兩支舞。
2. and during part of that time, Mr. Darcy had been standing near enough for her to overhear a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley,
“during part of that time”，在這期間。
“standing near enough”，站得足夠近。
“overhear”，無意中聽到。
“a conversation between him and Mr. Bingley”，他和賓利之間的對話。
3. who came from the dance for a few minutes, to press his friend to join it.
“who came from the dance”，從舞池中走出來的人。
“for a few minutes”，幾分鐘。
“to press his friend to join it”，勸說他的朋友跳舞。
“press”，極力勸說。
這段文字的核心是伊麗莎白聽到了達西與賓利的對話，接下來是什么呢？繼續(xù)跟著我的閱讀走。
