Between him and Darcy there was a very steady friendship, in spite of great opposition of character. Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the easiness, openness, and ductility of his temper, though no disposition could offer a greater contrast to his own, and though with his own he never appeared dissatisfied. On the strength of Darcy's regard, Bingley had the firmest reliance, and of his judgement the highest opinion. In understanding, Darcy was the superior. Bingley was by no means deficient, but Darcy was clever. He was at the same time haughty, reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well-bred, were not inviting. In that respect his friend had greatly the advantage. Bingley was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, Darcy was continually giving offense.
The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently characteristic. Bingley had never met with more pleasant people or prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt acquainted with all the room; and, as to Miss Bennet, he could not conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty, but she smiled too much.

「Pride and Prejudice」chapter3-chapter10阅读两遍，听力两遍。 把小说里的对话部分跳过去没有读，因为「Pride and Prejudice」既有电视剧又有电影，以后看的时候自然就看到对话了。 iphone有一个这本小说的软件，是一个蛮有修养的英国女声朗读的，免费的章节到chapter10，暂时没有购买的打算。
看「The gun control that works：no guns」 底下的2000条（四舍五入）评论，实在是太精彩了！要是早知道有这么一个地方，我的英文不可能这么差。 关键是这破期刊起名叫什么经济学家，搞的我一直都不敢看，中文的什么经济学家一类的我都看不懂呢，一直以为它是云里雾里的经济类专业期刊，多少年了就从来没起过念头打开看一看。

亨利叔叔一见思嘉就喜欢她了，因为他说思嘉总算有点头脑。尽管有那么一股傻劲， Uncle Henry liked Scarlett when he met her imediately because，he said，he could see that for all her silly affectations she had a few grains of sense.
他不仅是皮蒂和媚兰的不动产保管人，也是查尔斯遗留给思嘉的不动产的保管人。 He was trustee,not only of Pitty's and Melanie's estates ,but also of that left Scarlett by charles.
思嘉又惊又喜地发现她如今是个不大不小的年轻女财主了，因为查尔斯不但留下了皮蒂那所房子一半给她，而且留下了农田和市镇上的财产。 It came to Scarlett as a pleasant surprise that she was now a well-to-do young woman ,for Charles had not only left half of Aunt Pitty's house but the farm lands and town property as well.
同时车站附近沿铁路的一些店铺和栈房也是给她的一部分遗产，自从战争爆发以来它们的价格已上涨了两倍。 And the stores and warehouses along the railroad track near the depot,which were part of her inheritance,had tripled in value since the war began.
