1.They had often attempted it before, but it was a subject on which Mrs. Bennet was beyond the reach of reason; and she continued to rail bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of five daughters, in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about.
【難句解析】beyond the reach of“在夠得著的范圍之外”；in favour of“有利于”；
【句子翻譯】其實她們一直沒法跟她解釋，可是這個問題跟她是講不明白的。她老是破口大罵，說是自己的產業不能由五個親生女兒繼承，卻白白送給一個和她們毫不相干的人，這實在是太不合情理。
2.THE disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured father always gave me much uneasiness, and since I have had the misfortune to lose him I have frequently wished to heal the breach; but for some time I was kept back by my own doubts, fearing lest it might seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with any one with whom it had always pleased him to be at variance.
【難句解析】late“已故的”；heal意思是“使和解”，heal the breach意思是“和解不合”；keep back“保留，阻止”；be on good terms with“與...有交情”；
【句子翻譯】以前你為先父之間曾有些芥蒂，這一直使我感到不安。自先父不幸棄世以來，我常常想到要彌補這個裂痕；但我一時猶豫，沒有這樣做，怕的是先父生前既然對閣下唯恐仇視不及，而我今天卻來與閣下修好，這未免有辱先人。
