291.I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves.

幾年前的一次經歷讓我明白了人們是如何通過自責使得本已糟糕的情況更加惡化的。

六級詞匯講解:

本句的主干是I had an experience...o第一個which引導的定語從句which taught me...blaming themselves修飾experience；該從句中又包含另一個由介詞短語in+which引導的定語從句修飾ways，介詞短語by blaming themselves則充當其方式狀語。

英語六級考點歸納
blame、accuse、scold、condemn和reproach這幾個動詞均含有"責備，非難"之意。
blame為普通用詞，語氣較弱，僅是一般的責難、歸咎，不含用語言責罵之意。如：
They blamed the rise in oil prices for the big increase in inflation.

他們把通貨膨脹加劇歸咎于石油價格的上漲。

scold為普通用詞，多指上級對下級、長輩對晚輩的數落、訓斥。如：
I scolded my son for having left the door open.

我責備兒子沒有關門。

accuse語氣比blame強，含有"控告，譴責，非難"之意。如：
The chief doctor was accused of professional misconduct.

那名主治醫生被控有違行醫道德。

condemn為正式用詞，表示譴責，有較強的司法意味，側重從道義或原則的高度進行譴責。如：
All of his friends condemned him for his bad conduct.

所有朋友都責備他行為不檢點。

reproach側重指因他人粗心、自私等引起不滿而去指責。如：
Grace reproached her husband for having forgotten her birthday.
格雷絲責怪丈夫忘了她的生日。
