文/liangchaoxford 广东凉茶煲牛津一昨日流量收入0.70元。这是第64天阅读英文版《傲慢与偏见》。上篇笔记讲到伊莉莎白夸赞宾利是个青年楷模，看简是怎么接着妹妹的话头继续讲宾利：“I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. I did not expect such a compliment.”“他第二次请我跳舞，我有点受宠若惊。我没想到有这样的恭维。”二这段英语文字有陌生词，我查阅：1. flattered词性：形容词（过去分词作表语）含义：受宠若惊的；感到荣幸的用法：描述被再次邀请跳舞时的愉悦与满足感。我补充3个例句，体会“glattered”的用法，都是长句子，我是要提高点例句难度，反复的读几遍，或者是过一些时间拿出来复习几遍。“They call my song ‘Divine Comedy’, and they call me the ‘Godmother’. I’m flattered ,” Gong told Nanfang Daily.在接受《南方日报》采访时，龚琳娜说：“他们说我的歌是‘神曲’并称我为教母，这让我受宠若惊。Lu was flattered to learn about her illustration"s quasi-icon status, she says, but of course a stock image"s popularity does not translate directly into revenue.当Lu得知到她作品即将成为一个正式标志时很是受宠若惊，但是她仍表示，素材库受欢迎并不能并直接转化为收益。The more popular the site becomes, the more likely it will be used to spread malware, so perhaps SlideShare should be somewhat flattered that they"ve reached this level of notoriety.网站越流行，那么它们越有可能会被用来散播恶意软件。 因此SlideShare应该有些受宠若惊，因为他们已经达到了被人利用的用户规模。2. compliment词性：名词含义：称赞；恭维用法：“被再次邀请跳舞”，强调“社交夸赞”。“我有点受宠若惊在他第二次邀请我跳舞时，我没想到这么受恭维。”这句话是简给妹妹伊丽莎白说的，她是贝家大女儿，对宾利先生有好感。我补充几个“compliment”的权威例句，慢慢体会：And he pointed out that UC Web was investing in startups to compliment its core product.他指出，UC Web 正在投资初创企业以补充其核心产品。It is, all snarkiness aside, a terrific compliment to be recognized in this way.撇开所有刻薄的评论不谈，以这种方式获得认可绝对是极大的称赞。Many progressives in California take that as a compliment since Greeks are ostensibly happier.加利福尼亚的许多进步人士将其视为一种称赞，因为表面上希腊人更幸福。The greatest compliment you can pay your host is to be attentive, relaxed, and appreciative.你能给予主人的最大称赞就是专注、放松且心怀感激。This is not going to sound like the greatest compliment ever: It"s certainly better than nothing.这听起来肯定不是最棒的称赞，但肯定聊胜于无。上面这两个单词，及我补充的例句，熟练起来还真的要反复几遍，这过个几遍我还是不熟练。三为了更好的理解这个句子，我拆解开读一遍：1. “I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time.”flattered：受宠若惊的；感到荣幸的。asking me to dance a second time：再次邀请我跳舞。2. “I did not expect such a compliment.”“我没料到会得到这样的称赞（指再次被邀请跳舞）”。compliment：称赞；恭维。did not expect：没想到。这段文字很短，但描述了简“受宠若惊+意外的心理”。这是第一轮阅读英文版的《傲慢与偏见》，不过多的鉴赏或欣赏，也不过多的思索这本小说里更丰富的东西，只是从头到尾的先过一遍，知道这本小说每个段落每个篇章讲的啥就好。
