Hard Times Charles Dickens 教句式: With + nouns

With the aid of a little more coaching for the political sages, a little more genteel listlessness for the general society, and a tolerable management of the assumed honesty in dishonesty , most effective and most patronized of the polite deadly sins, he speedily came to be considered of much promise.

Structure: With ..., SVO. With表示擁有的性質,常解仿作1)有/具備 2)由於

With 1) the aid of a little more coaching for the political sages, 2) a little more genteel listlessness for the general society, and 3) a tolerable management of the assumed honesty in dishonesty, (which was) most effective and most patronized of the polite deadly sins, [SVO] he speedily came to be considered of much promise.

由於1)得到為政治聖人而設的指導、2)對社會富紳士氣的冷漠、3)以可接受的方法不誠實包裝在假誠實內,這是合禮的致命罪孽中最有效、最受人屈尊俯就的,他很快就被認為是有前途的。

NOTE: 儘管 'the' 似乎要加在 'most' 之前使句子符合語法。但在這種情況下,非必需。當使用 'most' (例如: most effective, most patronised) 時,在文學和正式 [formal] 語境中通常會省略 'the',以增強流暢性。這種遺漏不是語法錯誤。
