这是第69天阅读英文版《傲慢与偏见》。
伊莉莎白继续与简聊天：
“Certainly not; at first. But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them. Miss Bingley is to live with her brother and keep his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming neighbour in her.”
我把这段英文转化为中文：
“当然不是，起初。但是她们是令人愉快的女人当时与她们交谈时。宾利小姐和哥哥住一起照看他的房子；如果我们没有发现她是有魅力的邻居那我就非常的错了。”

我给出几个词汇的简洁注释，这是我查阅的，我补充若干权威例句，权威例句都是英语权威媒体的文字，这个实用价值我觉得更高：
1. pleasing

含义：讨人喜欢的；令人愉快的
用法：“very pleasing women”，很有好感的女人。
我补充几个权威例句，体会“pleasing”的用法：

我把这段文字逐句拆解阅读：
1. “Certainly not; at first.”
Certainly not：“当然不是”。
at first：“起初”。
2. “But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them.”
pleasing：“讨人喜欢的”。
converse with：“与……交谈”。
3. “Miss Bingley is to live with her brother and keep his house;”
is to live：“打算居住”。
keep his house：“打理他的家务”。
4. “and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming neighbour in her.”
I am much mistaken if...：“如果……那我就大错特错了”。
charming neighbour：“迷人的邻居”。
“charming”，迷人的。
这段文字是伊丽莎白对宾利姐妹给予了好的看法，后续贝家女儿们会与宾利姐妹有交往吗？
