真正主語(yǔ) 定語(yǔ)從句
譯文:有一個(gè)時(shí)代是40歲以下的普通讀者難以想象的,在那個(gè)時(shí)代,大多數(shù)城市的報(bào)紙都有高質(zhì)量的藝術(shù)評(píng)論。
分析:該句的主干為It is difficult…to imagine a time…。其中,it為形式主語(yǔ),而真正的主語(yǔ)是不定式結(jié)構(gòu)to imagine a time。介詞短語(yǔ)to the point of impossibility是理解的難點(diǎn),它是一個(gè)程度狀語(yǔ),說(shuō)明了difficult的程度。for the average reader說(shuō)明了imagine這個(gè)動(dòng)作的邏輯主語(yǔ),其后的后置定語(yǔ)修飾的是reader。句尾有一個(gè)when引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,修飾名詞time。
