Pride and Prejudice,请读过的朋友进来吧
Chapter 7中的一段对话
"Dining out," said Mrs.Bennet,"that is very unlucky."
"Can I have the carriage?" said Jane.
"No,my dear,you had better go on horseback,because it seems likely to rain; and then you must stay all night."
"That would be a good scheme," said Elizabeth,"if you were sure that they would not offer to send her home."
"Oh!but the gentlemen will have Mr.Bingley's chaise to go to Meryton; and the Hursts have no horses to theirs."
"I had much rather go in the coach."
"But,my dear,your father cannot spare the horses,I am sure.They are wanted in the farm,Mr.Bennet,are not they?"
"They are wanted in the farm much oftener than I can get them."
"But if you have got them to-day," said Elizabeth,"my mother's purpose will be answered."
请问最后一丽莎白这句话"But if you have got them to-day," said Elizabeth,"my mother's purpose will be answered."是啥深层含义?为什么从父亲那里要到马来拉马车,母亲的意图(留下过夜)就能被满足?这是什么逻辑?

新:
下文紧接:
She did at last extort from her father an acknowledgment that the horses were engaged.Jane was therefore obliged to go on horseback……
伊莉莎白为什么要逼问父亲说拉车的马有别的用处呢?父亲不是已经在上文说了他弄不到马吗?各位的说法貌似都解释不了这里啊

这是我的理解:其实Elizabeth 说 “But if you have got them today,my mother's purpose will be answered." 这其实是反话.是Liz 对她妈妈的一种讽刺.
1.她妈妈说 horses are wanted in the farm,其实只是一个借口,(其实完全可以让Jane 坐马车去,因为之后jane 其实有很想坐马车去的意图,但是她妈妈给否了,用的就是没马的借口,因为Mr.Bennet can't get them,她妈妈的意思就是”如果Mr.Bennet 可以get the horses,你就可以坐coach去.这个就是 Liz 之后说的purpose,其实是一种反讽)所以之后Liz 说:if you have got them today,my mother's purpose will be answered.
补充;
在这里purposes will be answered 就是目的会被达成的意思,比如你看原文的后一段,有一句,Her hopes were answered...就是目的,愿望达成的意思.
补充2:
Liz其实希望Jane 坐马车去,因为不想让Jane淋雨,生病,这也是为什么之后Liz一听说Jane真的感冒了,就马上要去看她.(所以她之前会讽刺一下自己的妈妈)
这也是为什么她要真正确认那些马是engaged,不能使用.所以她才要Bennet 给她acknowledgement,证明horses are really engaged.
