Herenquiries after her sister were not very favourably answered. Miss Bennet hadslept ill, and though up, was very feverish and not well enough to leave herroom. Elizabeth was glad to be taken to her immediately; and Jane, who had onlybeen withheld by the fear of giving alarm or inconvenience, from expressing inher note how much she longed for such a visit, was delighted at her entrance.She was not equal, however, to much conversation, and when Miss Bingley leftthem together, could attempt little beside expressions of gratitude for theextraordinary kindness she was treated with. Elizabeth silently attended her.
请教老师：这一句who had only been withheld by the fear of giving alarm orinconvenience, from expressing in her note how much she longed for such a visit
老师能否解说一下 sth withhold sb from sth 这一结构是什么含义？上面，sth= thefear of giving alarm or inconvenience,
即 +withhold + sb + from sth ，对吗？主如果这个结构的意思是什么？ sth).
谢谢老师！
sth(缘由）withhold sb from doing sth. 直译，某个缘由使得某人没做某事。意译：因为某缘由，某人没做某事。这个结构你猜都要猜出意思来。只须你了解withhold是 hold back的意思（词典会对你说）。
