[專題]pride and prejudice英文小說篇

　　最近看完英文版的小說，又看了2005年的版本，應該寫點心得。開始先整理一些很神奇的字出現在英文版的小說裡面，因為筆者只是一名即將畢業的高中生，才疏學淺，多多包函。

　　古字類
ere＝before
thither＝there
hither＝here
whilst＝while
intreaty＝entreaty懇求

這些是我記得比較特殊的，至於語法方面就不是我能處理的，跟現在慣用語不太一樣。接下來是我(記得的)的生字表 (節錄)(廢話!)

prevail on (v) 說服/勸說
allude (v) 暗示
mortify (v)
mortification (n) 羞辱
felicity (n) 幸福
flatter oneself (v) 自以為(蠻常出現的)
oblige (v) 使感激(跟flatter oneself出現在對白裡面，感覺都很正式)
vex (v)
vexation (n) 煩惱/苦惱
condescend (v) 迂尊降貴(多用在Lady Catherine身上)

難字表 (這如果都認識的話那這本說對你太簡單了)(自以為當中)

cogent (a) 使人信服的;切實的;有力的
impertinence (n)
impertinent (a)
impertinency (n) 魯莽
fluctuate (v) 波動,變動;動搖
actuate (v) 開動/激勵
petulant＝querulous＝peevish (a) 易怒的 (罵人的時候交替出現)
frivolous (a) 輕率的
insinuate (v) 暗指
invective (n) 謾罵
impervious＝impermeable (a) 堅定的
licentious (a) 放蕩的

抱歉沒有解釋字根字首，太累不想查。
經典名句的部分，其實是筆者個人喜歡的，如下：

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
有錢的男人一定需要一個老婆，是永恆不變的真理。(粗操翻譯汗顏)

(Mrs Bennet) You do not know what I suffer.
(Mrs Bennet)你不知道我的痛苦。(我喜歡Mrs Bennet的原因之一) (粗操翻譯汗顏)

(Charlotte Lucas) I am not romantic you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home.
(Charlotte Lucas)你知道我從不浪漫。從不。我只要一個舒適的家。(粗操翻譯汗顏) (電影裡面加了很多台詞，等一下討論)

(Lady Catherine) No governess! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home without a governess!
(Lady Catherine)沒有家教？怎麼可能！有五個女兒在家裡竟人沒有家教！(粗操翻譯汗顏)

(Lady Catherine) There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or better natural taste.
(Lady Catherine)我認為在英國沒有人能比我更享受音樂、更有品味了。(粗操翻譯汗顏)

(Elisabeth Bennet)I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry. (經典名句阿吶喊)

(Mr Bennet) Well, well, do not make yourself unhappy. If you are a good girl for the next ten years, I will take you to a review at the end of them.
(Mr Bennet) 好啦好啦，不要太難過。如果你以後十年都乖乖的，我再帶你去看閱兵典禮。(我超愛Mr Bennet的幽默感的，即使在盛怒之下仍不改英國人的本色(或死樣))
