1.It had given him a disgust to his business and to his residence in a small market town; and quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge, where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and, unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world. For though elated by his rank, it did not render him supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to every body. By nature inoffensive, friendly and obliging, his presentation at St. James's had made him courteous.
【難句解析】denominated的邏輯主語是a house;where he could...world是定語從句修飾Lucas Lodge;occupy oneself in...意思是“忙于做某事”;be all attention to意思是“十分關(guān)心、照顧”;
【句子翻譯】這個(gè)顯要的身份使他覺得太榮幸,從此他就討厭做生意,討厭住在一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上,于是歇了生意,告別小鎮(zhèn),帶著家屬遷到那離開麥里屯大約一英里路的一幢房子里去住,從那時(shí)候起就把那地方叫做盧家莊。他可以在這兒自得其樂,以顯要自居,而且,既然擺脫了生意的糾纏,他大可以一心一意地從事社交活動(dòng)。他盡管以自己的地位欣然自得,卻并不因此而目空一切,反而對(duì)什么人都應(yīng)酬得非常周到。他生來不肯得罪人,待人接物總是和藹可親,殷勤體貼,而且自從皇上覲見以來,更加彬彬有禮。
