英语长难句分析实例
1. What others think you think and what you think they think you think.
别人(猜)想你想什么和你(猜)想他们(猜)想你想什么。
这是两个并列句组成一个长句。
前半句:主语others,谓语think,,宾语think you think(what),该宾语从句省掉引导词that;
后半句:主语you,谓语:think,宾语they think you think(what),这个宾语从句里又包含另一个宾语从句you think----是(they)think的宾语,其中宾语从句前都省掉引导词that.
2. She has wanted to become a nurse ever since she was a young girl.
这是个状语从句:自从她是小姑娘开始她就想做一名护士。
主句:主语she,谓语has wanted(现在完成时),宾语to become a nurse(不定式短语充当) ;
从句:ever since不充当句子成分 ,可看作先行词,从句主语she,谓语was,表语a young girl。整个从句充当主句的状语。
