Mrs. Gardiner about this time reminded Elizabeth of her promise concerning that gentleman, and required information; and Elizabeth had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to herself.
请教老师:麻烦老师讲解一下这里的such...as和rather...than用法含义。谢谢!
Elizabeth had such to send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to herself.
按照传统语法,黑体部分是定语从句。as 是关系代词,在定语从句中充当主语。such 是先行词,在本句是代词,有时候也是限定词,如 such a present (这样的一个礼物),不定式 to send 作 such 的定语( had such to send 有这样的去寄送的礼品)。
在定语从句 as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to herself 中,rather ... than...表示取舍关系,than 是连词,后面省略了重复的成分 give contentment。定语从句整体判断如下: as 指 such,such 指 “那样的礼品”。定语从句的含义是:这个礼品会让她姑母满足,而不是让自己满足。
