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.

【結構分析】句子開頭是個原因狀語從句，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，后面是時間狀語從句until, it appears, we begin to dream。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于主干前面是原因狀語從句，主干后面是時間狀語從句，前后夾擊狀語從句很經典。

【核心詞匯】

our conscious mind　有意識的大腦

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
