英語四級閱讀關(guān)鍵句：296. We treat them as objects whose

296. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.

譯文

我們把孩子們看成了物品，以其外表和成就自豪，而不是從盡力滿足孩子的最大興趣出發(fā)做事。

點(diǎn)睛

本句的主干是we treat them as objects, rather than serve the best interests of the children。whose appearance and...be proud of是定語從句，修飾objects；其中，we can be proud of是省略了引導(dǎo)詞that的定語從句，修飾先行詞something。
