復(fù)雜的分割結(jié)構(gòu)（插入語）的理解 例213

例213　Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him "an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him."

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話的主語是Tommasini，后面是個插入語，也是個定語從句，也就是who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times，動詞是calls，直接賓語是him，間接賓語是an unpretentious musician，后面是介詞短語做定語，修飾前面的名詞，也就是with no air of the formidable conductor about him。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于插入語使用得很經(jīng)典，而且是個定語從句，定語從句做插入語表示主語的狀態(tài)，比如I, who loves swimming, is crazy about sports。

【核心詞匯】

who had advocated Gilbert's appointment　支持Gilbert任命

an unpretentious musician　低調(diào)的音樂家

with no air of the formidable conductor　找不到那種飛揚跋扈的指揮家的氣質(zhì)。

【參考譯文】甚至在時代雜志上發(fā)文支持Gilbert任命的Tommasini都稱其為：低調(diào)的音樂家，在他身上找不到那種飛揚跋扈的指揮家的氣質(zhì)。
