以下三句都是較簡(jiǎn)單的句子,沒(méi)有使用任何從句：Young Bright Path seemed destined to spend his life in the Oklahoma farmland.當(dāng)seem后接形容詞作表語(yǔ)時(shí),如果談的是主觀印象（比如這里的"seemed destined..."）,則通常只用seem（將to be省略）.例如：He seems (to be) quite happy.他似乎很高興.He seems (to be) quite rich 他似乎相當(dāng)富有.be destined to 意思是“注定的,一定會(huì)”,例如 His hopes were destined to be realized.他的希望后來(lái)都實(shí)現(xiàn)了.Bright Path是Jim Thorpe的tribal name,這里的Young Bright Path即指Young Jim Thorpe But when he was in his teens,the government gave him the chance to attend the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania.be in one's teens 意思是“正處于某人的青少年時(shí)期（13－19歲）” give somebody the chance to...”給某人機(jī)會(huì)去做⋯” When...,...是“當(dāng)⋯,⋯”的結(jié)構(gòu) Soon Carlisle was racing along its own bright path to athletic prominence.Soon是個(gè)表示時(shí)間的狀語(yǔ),表示“不久,很快” was racing along its own bright path to athletic prominence 分為兩部分看.一部分是was racing to athletic prominence,另一部分是along its own bright path.along its own bright path在這里是一個(gè)狀語(yǔ),修飾Carlisle是怎樣racing to athletic prominence的.In whatever sport Jim Thorpe played,he excelled 這句話可以理解為“Jim Thrope excelled in whatever sport he played” excel 意思是“過(guò)人,擅長(zhǎng)”
