Incarcerated in Loch Leven Castle in the middle of a deep, cold lake, she unleashed her seductive charm on her jailer, one of the usually hard-bitten Douglas clan who melted in adoration.
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析:這個(gè)句子是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句。
句子的主干是:she unleashed her seductive charm on her jailer。主語(yǔ)是:she,謂語(yǔ)是unleashed her seductive charm on her jailer。剩下的可以分為兩個(gè)部分:
第一是:incarcerated in Loch Leven Castle in the middle of a deep, cold lake,這是過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),可以將之改為時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)——when she was incarcerated in Loch Leven Castle in the middle of a deep, cold lake。這個(gè)過(guò)去分詞中的in the middle of a deep, cold lake是介詞短語(yǔ)作后置定語(yǔ)。
第二是:one of the usually hard-bitten Douglas clan who melted in adoration這是一個(gè)代詞短語(yǔ)作同位語(yǔ),做jailer這個(gè)名詞的同位語(yǔ),說(shuō)明這個(gè)看守監(jiān)獄的人的身份(Douglas clan)和性格特點(diǎn)(hard-bitten)以及行為(melted in adoration)。
進(jìn)而,在這個(gè)同位語(yǔ)中含有一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句:who melted in adoration。這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句修飾不定代詞one。One是先行詞,先行詞是one這個(gè)不定代詞,它在主句中做主語(yǔ),關(guān)系代詞是who,不能用that。不要誤認(rèn)為這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句修飾clan。它是在介詞短語(yǔ)of the usually hard-bitten Douglas clan中,這個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)來(lái)修飾不定代詞one。
