老师好,最近在读The Aim of a University Education(By John Henry Newman十九世纪英国宗教领袖、教育家约翰·亨利·纽曼)时,对其中一句的which,it,its比较困惑请老师解答,非常感谢!
He is ever ready, yet never in the way; he is a pleasant companion, and a comrade you can depend upon; he knows when to be serious and when to trifle with gracefulness and to be serious with effect. He has the repose of a mind (which) lives in (itself), while (it) lives in the world, and (which) has resources for (its) happiness at home when (it) cannot go abroad.
He has the repose of a mind (which) lives in (itself), while (it) lives in the world, and (which) has resources for (its) happiness at home when (it) cannot go abroad.
两个which引导的定语从句(各自又带有时间状语从句)并列,共同修饰先行词mind。定语从句中的which,it,its均指代mind. 不过从句中又用it(mind)转意表示他这个人。周游世界( it lives in the world)和呆在国内(it cannot go abroad)。
这一句的大意是:
他有一种平和的心态,当他周游世界时,他不会忘乎所以;当他不能出国时,他也能通过不同渠道找到自己的快乐。
