1. He won't marry any of us or Tess either!
文法解析:這個句子是否定句,or其實是and,either其實是too。在否定句中and和too變化為or和either。
2. They all sighed,and crept into their beds,and fell asleep.
寫作短語:creep into的意思是“爬進”。文中說到的是creep into their beds是指擠奶女工爬上床。Fall asleep的意思是“睡著”。
文法解析:with her deeper feelings是介詞短語作伴隨狀況狀語,意思是“懷著更深的感情”。
4. She knew Angel Clare preferred her to the others.

Americans and Canadians prefer coffee drinking to tea drinking. 美國人和加拿大人喜歡喝咖啡勝過喝茶。
People in the south prefer green tea to black tea as compared with people in the north. 中國南方人比北方人更喜歡綠茶而不是紅茶。
5. She could keep his affection for her.

Croft felt a mild affection for him. 克洛夫特對他還有了些好感。
She keeps a great affection for her hometown. 她對家鄉懷有深厚的感情。
