楠楠句(day 08)

【真题例句】

He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics.

【楠楠自语】

第一步：谓语动词：asserted, was, felt, could have succeeded

第二步：从句引导词：that, for which, that

第三步：拆分主从句

主句：He asserted that …，

其中that引导的宾语从句做主句谓语动词的宾语；

for which reason he felt certain为非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的宾语从句所指内容；that he never could have succeeded with mathematics为宾语从句，作felt certain的宾语。

【译文】他坚持认为自己进行长时间纯抽象思维的能力十分有限，由此他认定自己在数学方面不可能取得成就。
