2022-05-24 08:35:07

  For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.

  在文学类篇章Jane Austin 的NorthAnger Abbey中有如下句子:

  They saw nothing of Mr. Allen; and after looking about them in vain for a more eligible situation, were obliged to sit down at the end of a table, at which a large party were already placed, without having anything to do there, or anybody to speak to, except each other.

  /在这两个句子中,都有一个共同的词组feel / be obliged to do sth. 该词组意为被迫做某事

  obliged 还有一个重要意思,就是感激的。

  eg. I am much obliged to you for helping us.

  补充一个意思:

  oblige有help,帮忙之意。

  eg. I'd be glad to oblige.

  eg. Would you oblige me with some information?
