Elizabethassured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those in the room.
"Iam astonished," said Miss Bingley, "that my father should have leftso small a collection of books. -- What a delightful library you have atpemberley, Mr. Darcy!"
"Itought to be good," he replied, "it has been the work of manygenerations."
"Andthen you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying books."
"Icannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as these,"
"Neglect!I am sure you neglect nothing that can add to the beauties of that noble place.Charles, when you build your house, I wish it may be half as delightful aspemberley."
"Iwish it may."
"ButI would really advise you to make your purchase in that neighbourhood, and takepemberley for a kind of model. There is not a finer county in England thanDerbyshire."
"Withall my heart; I will buy pemberley itself if Darcy will sell it."
"Iam talking of possibilities, Charles."
"Uponmy word, Caroline, I should think it more possible to get pemberley by purchasethan by imitation."
请教老师：Iwish 后从句虚拟语气，应该是might, 为何这里会出现I wish it may be 呢？
wish后接that从句，从句谓语要用某种过去形式。这就是语法规则。I wish it may. 显然不符合语法。你了解这一点即可。至于为何作者这么用，你只能问作者本人了。假如目前有人写这个小说，要么把wish改为hope, 要么把may 改为 might。
