Mrs.Gardiner about this time reminded Elizabeth of her promise concerning thatgentleman, and required information; and Elizabeth had such to send as mightrather give contentment to her aunt than to herself.
请教老师：麻烦老师解说一下这里的such...as和rather...than使用方法含义。谢谢！
Elizabeth had suchto send as might rather give contentment to her aunt than to herself.
根据传统语法，黑体部分是定语从句。as 是关系代词，在定语从句中充当主语。such 是先行词，在本句是代词，有时也是限定词，如 such a present （如此的一个礼物），不定式 to send 作 such 的定语（ had such to send 有如此的去寄送的礼品）。
在定语从句 as might rather give contentment toher aunt than to herself 中，rather ... than...表示取舍关系，than 是连词，后面省略了重复的成分 give contentment。定语从句整体判断如下： as 指 such，such 指 “那样的礼品”。定语从句的意思是：这个礼品会让她姑母满足，而不是让自己满足。
