It was a small love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a schoolgirl's scrawls about her dream guy. All that was missing was a drawing of a heart with the names John and Janet written in it.

句中的 All that was missing 并非主语从句,其实此句真正的主语是 allthat was missing 是修饰 all 的定语从句,意思是“缺少的是……”。all that 在此相当于 what,或相当于the thing that。句末的 with the names John and Janet written in it with 复合结构,作定语,修饰 a drawing of a heart

全句大意:那是珍妮特写的一封小情书,是一名女生潦潦草草写给她的梦中情人的小情书,只差没在上面画一颗写有约翰和珍妮特名字的心形图案。

请问:主语从句 All that was missing 中的 that,是代替 The note 的吗?

我认为that这个关系代词很显然代替先行词all, 而all虽然与note 有联系,但是并非完全指代该词,而是指note上的内容。All that was missing = All thing in the note was missing意思:纸条上所缺失的(东西)只是/ 仅仅是。还要特别注意:此时与单名连用的all往往含有【言其少】之意。“纸条上唯一所缺失的是……” All that you need to do is put up your phone call. 你唯一须做的仅仅是拿起电话。
