。长难句解析
Lydia1 talked incessantly of2 lottery tickets, of the fish3 she had lost4 and the fish she had won, and Mr. Collins5, in describing the civility of Mr. and Mrs. Philips, protesting that he did not in the least regard his losses at whist6, enumerating all the dishes at supper, and repeatedly fearing that he crowded his cousins7, had8 more9 to say than he could well manage before the carriage stopped at Longbourn House10.
解:1主语+2谓语+3宾语+4定语从句+5主语+6宾语从句+7宾语从句+8谓语+9宾语+10时间状语从句
析:①定语从句:she had lost
该从句修饰先行词the fish,在从句中作宾语,所以可省略关系代词
。②宾语从句:that he did not in the least regard his losses at whist
这个宾语从句是由that引导的,that一般可省略,主句“Mr. Collins had more to…”是一般过去时,宾语从句用相应的过去时态;宾语从句用陈述句语序
