这篇课文中我有一个地方不太明白,原句如下
And I would rather make them my friends by indulging then in it than my enemies by endeavoring(and that to no purpose)to undeceive them.这个句子主要是would rather do than do,但是"than do"中的do呢?.还有是"by endeavoring"还是"by endeavoring(and that to no purpose)to"
do省略啦,最完整的说法是:
And I would rather make them my friends by indulging them in it than (make them) my enemies by endeavoring to undeceive them.
第二个小问题没太明白lz的意思,呵呵.
