Asa clergyman, moreover, I feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessingof peace in all families within the reach of my influence; and on these groundsI flatter myself that my present overtures of good-will are highly commendable,and that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of Longbourn estatewill be kindly overlooked on your side, and not lead you to reject the offeredolive branch. I cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the means ofinjuring your amiable daughters, and beg leave to apologise for it, as well asto assure you of my readiness to make them every possible amends, -- but ofthis hereafter.
请教老师:
Icannot be otherwise than concerned...其中otherwise than如何理解?另外,后面的as well as若是表示not only,but also的意思(就是否用于比较的意思的)好像和上下文意思不符?
I cannot be otherwise than concerned 我除去担忧不可能是别的,我只担忧...。与otherwise连用的than意为除去...。otherwise在此意为different。 as well as在此为准并列连词。A as well as B , A和B 在此为二个不定式。这种并列强调A项。begleave to do A, as well as to do B. 请允许我不但做B,也做A。
