长难句解析

Her heart1 had been but slightly touched2, and her vanity3 was satisfied with4 believing that she would have been his only choice, had fortune permitted it5.

解：1主语+2谓语+3主语+4谓语+5宾语从句

析：宾语从句：that she would have been his only choice, had fortune permitted it

该从句使用了虚拟语气o.QK=+7k!O2I.。若与过去事实相反，条件从句的谓语用过去完成时（此处是had permitted），主句谓语用“would（should/could/might）+have+过去分词”8[fKOz*Sw1=wu。若条件从句含有were，should或had，可省略if，再把were，should或had移到从句的句首，使用倒装句型u#yT@6kY,q.。
