復(fù)雜的狀語從句的拆分和理解 例122

例122　Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don't always think about the emotional significance of the day's events—until, it appears, we begin to dream.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句子開頭是個(gè)原因狀語從句，也就是Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life，句子的主干是we don't always think about the emotional significance of the day's events，后面是時(shí)間狀語從句until, it appears, we begin to dream。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于主干前面是原因狀語從句，主干后面是時(shí)間狀語從句，前后夾擊狀語從句很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

our conscious mind　有意識(shí)的大腦

is occupied with　里面全是

the emotional significance of the day's events　白天發(fā)生的事情的情感意義

we begin to dream　我們開始做夢(mèng)

【參考譯文】由于我們有意識(shí)的大腦里面全是日常生活，我們一般不去思考白天發(fā)生的事情的情感意義——似乎直到我們開始做夢(mèng)。
