Unit 2 King Lear课文长句难点剖析1

剖析:这是复杂的主从复合句
1)连词 for 引导的原因状语从句是顺便说明原因的,通常要放在主句后
此句中该从句与其前面的句子有逻辑上的“因”“果”关系
否则,不能放在主句的前面
比如:Kent didn’t come today, for he has been ill
肯特今天没有来,因为他生病了
回答 why 提出的问题要用 because 引导的的句子
比如:— Why didn’t you stop thief while he was passing by
— Because I hadn’t known he was a thief before you told me that
2)whichever“无论哪一个”通常用来指物
比如: Whichever you want is yours
你要什么就拿什么
Choose whichever of them you like best
挑选你最喜欢的
3)“你们中的哪一个”是“第三人称”概念,所以,句子的谓语用单数第三人称 has
再比如:I’ll give it to whichever of you wants it
无论你们中的谁要,我都会给的
译文:(因为)你们当中无论是谁,只要最有孝心,我就把最好的一块给她
