The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man,1 the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley,2 and he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity;3 for he was discovered to be proud, to be above his company, and above being pleased;4 and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend.5
解:该长句中有两个分号,第一个分号前是三个并列句,第二个分号前后是两个独立句
。在英语中,分号用来连接两个相关联,但同时又各自独立的句子 。析:并列句3中包含一个till引导的时间状语从句,意思是“直到……时候”;句5中的“having a ...”和“being unworthy ...”是并列成分,都跟在save sb from之后,作宾语补足语
