Ihave more than once observed to Lady Catherine that her charming daughterseemed born to be a duchess, and that the most elevated rank, instead of givingher consequence, would be adorned by her. -- These are the kind of littlethings which please her ladyship, and it is a sort of attention which Iconceive myself peculiarly bound to pay."
"Youjudge very properly," said Mr. Bennet, "and it is happy for you thatyou possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether thesepleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are the resultof previous study?"
"Theyarise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I sometimes amu百度竞价推广yself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may beadapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to give them as unstudied an airas possible."
Mr.Bennet's expectations were fully answered. His cousin was as absurd as he hadhoped, and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment, maintaining at thesame time the most resolute composure of countenance, and, except in anoccasional glance at Elizabeth, requiring no partner in his pleasure.
Bytea-time, however, the dose had been enough, and Mr. Bennet was glad to takehis guest into the drawing-room again, and when tea was over, glad to invitehim to read aloud to the ladies. Mr. Collins readily assented, and a book wasproduced; but on beholding it , he started back, and begging pardon, protested that henever read novels.
请教老师：
itis a sort of attention which I conceive myself peculiarly bound to pay. 这里的conceivemyself peculiarly bound to 是什么结构？这是强调句吗？
另外，顺便请教老师黑体字in多余吗？to be 为何不是was呢？
1 it在这里为人称代词，指代前句话的内容，a sort of attention为表语，which从句为定语从句，修饰attention. 这不是强调句型。
2 except可将来接介词短语，in an occasional glance at Elizabeth这个介词短语表示方法，即通过这个方法表示出期望伊丽莎白与他同乐，此外，他不在乎其他人是不是愉悦。所以，这个in并不多余。
3 to be是宾补。announce可将来接that从句，也可将来接复合宾语，不定式作宾补。
