其實挺簡單,
Opera originated in Italy but was not confined to Italy any more than the Italians were confined to Italy,
把省略掉的補上就好理解了,關(guān)鍵是這句話的意思不大符合漢語的思維模式,所以比較別扭.
斷開來翻譯,歌劇起源于意大利,但歌劇不局限于意大利,就像意大利人不一定在意大利一樣.any more than 在這里的意思是 就如同.再請教一句話What happened is that the major divide in opera that endures today took place.請問怎么斷句和理解What happende is that"....." 這是主句"the major divde"(從句里的主語) 主要分歧 + in opera, 歌劇上的主要分歧，+ endures today, 持續(xù)到今天的歌劇的主要分歧，took place （從句里的謂語） 意思是 發(fā)生或者產(chǎn)生了，連起來就是整句話了
