请教几处有关省略的问题

请教老师几个问题:

"Oh! -- you mean Jane, I suppose─because he danced with her twice. To be sure that did seem as if he admired her─indeed I rather believe he did─I heard something about it─but I hardly know what─something about Mr. Robinson."

"perhaps you mean what I overheard between him and Mr. Robinson; did not I mention it to you? Mr. Robinson's asking him how he liked our Meryton assemblies, and whether he did not think there were a great many pretty women in the room, and which he thought the prettiest? and his answering immediately to the last question ─"Oh! the eldest Miss Bennet beyond a doubt, there cannot be two opinions on that point."

“哦,我想你是说简吧,因为他跟她跳了两次。说实话他的确看上去好像爱慕她──我的确相信他是喜欢的──我听到了一些话──可是我不太知道具体的系列──是一些有关鲁宾逊先生的话。”

“也是你是指我无意中听到他和鲁宾逊先生的谈话吧;难道我没有跟你提过吗?鲁宾逊先生问他喜欢不喜欢梅里顿的舞会,问他是否觉得舞会上有许多漂亮姑娘,以及认为哪一个最漂亮。他立刻回答了最后一个问题──毫无问题是班纳特家的大姐最美。关于这一点,是没有其它答案的。”

1、to be sure that...请问to be sure是不是前面省略了主谓?另外,引导的宾语从句为什么没有主语呢?

2、his answering immediately to the last question,为什么这里句子结构不完整,

3、最后一句话the eldest Miss Bennet...是不是有省略?以及跟后面的there be句子中间没连接词?

1 to be sure为习语,后面应该有逗号。在这里用作评注性状语。词典对此的解释为:

— used to say that you admit that something is true

It will be challenging, to be sure, but I am confident that we will succeed.

that为指示代词,指代前面的 he danced with her twice 这个分句,在句子中作主语。

Mr. Robinson's asking him how... and whether... and which...? 为动名词复合结构。你与后面的  and his answering immediately to the last question ─...结合起来读,就能知道 Mr. Robinson's asking him... and his answering ...是二个并列的动名词复合结构。这二个动名词复合结构是对前一句话  did not I mention it to you? 中的 it 的补充说明,而it 指代前一句中的what. 即无意听到的二人之间的对话。动名词复合结构就是对话的内容。

顺便说一下, did not I mention it to you? 属于语法错误。not如果没有和操作词缩合,是不能前置的。Didn't I mention it to you? 或者 Did I not mention it to you? 这二种形式二者选一。Did not 没有缩合而倒装是语法错误。

小说中的人物对话经常会出现语法错误,作者故意保留这种语法错误,以此来体现说话人的受教育程度。对此,作为读者不要大惊小怪。这有助于读者了解人物。
