[請益] 請問no one was less likely...

[leadingflame (夢想起始號)]

最近在讀傲慢與偏見

請問以下這句

"It was necessary to make this circumstance a matter of pleasure,
because on such occasions it is the etiquette,
but no one was less likely than Mrs. Bennet to find comfort
in staying at home at any period of her life. "

請問這句話中的no one was less likely的意思到底是?

Mrs. Bennet到底喜不喜歡待在家裡呢?還是喜歡外出應酬?

每次碰到這種雙重否定的字句就很苦惱~.~還請版友解惑

非常感謝!!

→ asdsasd123:Mrs. Bennet不喜歡留在家
→ dunchee:這樣子看。以"(Someone) was likely to find comfort ....
→ dunchee:"這件事來看，然後在"likely"上分程度:
→ dunchee:(Someone : 以 Mrs. Bennet 和 隨便任一人來比較)
→ dunchee: <- less likely        more likely->
→ dunchee:(-負) -----------------------------(+)
→ dunchee:那麼"no one"意思是無法找到比Mrs. Bennet 更不.... ->
→ dunchee:Mrs. Bennet已經是上圖的最左端(所以不會有人比她「更」
→ dunchee:less likely ....)   換句話說 Mrs. Bennet 已經是極不可
→ dunchee:能會find comfort .... (當然這整個只是個表達手法)
→ leadingflame:喔喔 實在是太感謝樓上兩位了!! 邏輯解釋得很清楚^^
推 DarkD:通常看到雙重否定就把兩處否定字眼拿掉在看就清楚了
→ DarkD:everyone was likely that Bennet to find comfort...
→ DarkD:                   *than
→ DarkD:          *more
→ DarkD:抱歉，應該是說把兩處否定字眼改成肯定。如果do not->do就
→ DarkD:變成"拿掉"XD
