復(fù)雜的賓語(yǔ)從句以及表語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例55

例55　Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that "the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight."

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話開(kāi)頭是Even though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，該狀語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)是the day-to-day experience of raising kids，系動(dòng)詞是can be，表語(yǔ)是soul-crushingly hard，句子的主干是個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，也就是Senior writes that...，賓語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)是the very things，后面是定語(yǔ)從句that in the moment dampen our moods，后面是系動(dòng)詞can be，再后面是表語(yǔ)sources of intense gratification and delight。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于賓語(yǔ)從句里面套有定語(yǔ)從句，句型結(jié)構(gòu)很復(fù)雜，而且the very things表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，翻譯成“正是那些事情”。
