這具木乃伊是Shepenmut的,她曾經(jīng)是底比斯(埃及尼羅河畔的古城)廟的一個歌手.
The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.有的語法書上是這么來理解的:The mummy is that of Shepenmut.我們這里先把后面的定語從句忽略不看.單獨的分析上面這個句子.主語:The mummy 謂語:is 表語:that of Shepenmut 這里的that 用來指代前面的the mummy,把句子恢復(fù)一下就是:The mummy is the mummy of Shepenmut.這樣一來句子比較繁瑣,所以在習(xí)慣上用that 代替后面的the mummy.就變成了that of Shepenmut.這里的of 是不能省略的,that 也不能省略的,都是句子的必要成分,這是一個很特殊的句型,需要記住.
The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.本句的that 也有的語法書上說成是引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,在整個句子里來做表語.主語:The mummy 謂語:is 表語從句:that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.而這個表語從句中又套了一個定語從句,就是who 引導(dǎo)的定語從句用來修飾前面的Shepenmut.定語從句:who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.這里的Shepenmut 是個女性,所以不能用he,him 來代替,我們不可以這樣來替代.本句Shepenmut能用 her 來代替.但是無論怎樣改變都不如書上的最地道.
