The symptoms are a sign you're breathing through the mouth instead of doing deeper breathing through the nose.
不是定语从句吗?这里的a sign后面为什么没有that?
The symptoms are a sign you're breathing through the mouth instead of doing deeper breathing through the nose.
【翻译】症状显示,你是通过嘴而不是通过鼻子做深呼吸的。
这是同位语从句省略了that。
网友可能想知道,同位语从句能不能省略that,为什么能省略?
当然可以省略that,下面我谈谈自己的看法。
1. that 引导名词性从句,由于没有实际词汇意义,与其说它是个从属连词,倒不如说,它是一个“标志词”。所谓“标志词”,意思是,它的作用只是名词性从句的一个“符号”,一个“影子”,说明这是一个“从句性质的名词”。
2. 语言的发展,趋于简洁明快,以适应人类快节奏的现代化生活。鉴于此,一些累赘的语言符号,只要不引起歧义,能省略则省略,能不说就不说。
3. 既然“标志词”that,能在宾语从句中省略,那么,延伸开来,在同位语从句中,that 能否省略呢?答案是肯定的。
4. 谓语动词和宾语从句之间,是一种动宾关系。如果某个名词带有动词性质,跟后面的同位语从句,也存在这种关系,就是说,被“同位语从句”修饰的那个名词,含有动词意义的话,就有可能省略that。
我列举后面接“同位语从句”的两类名词:
(1)不可省略that的(纯名词意义):
news 消息 opinion 观点 possibility 可能性 problem 问题 probability 可能性 truth 事实proof 证据
(2)可以省略that的(包含动词意义):
belief 相信 doubt 怀疑 explanation 解释 fear 害怕 feeling 感觉 hope 希望
idea 知晓 saying 格言;说法 rumour 传闻 risk 冒险 order 命令
promise 答应 reply 答复 report 报道 suggestion 建议 warning 警告
sign 显示;迹象
5. 省略that 举例:
The report (that) he was going to resign was false. 他将辞职的报道是假的。
Jim kept his promise (that) he would always do everything he could for Lucy to make sure of her happiness. 吉姆许诺愿意为露西做一切事情来保证她的幸福。他遵守了这一诺言。
The warning (that) teenagers should not smoke is reasonable. 青少年不该吸烟的警告是合情合理的。
We have received their reply (that) they won't reduce the price. 我们已经收到了他们的答复,他们将不降价。
I had a kind of feeling (that) this might happen.
I had no idea (that) you were such an actor.
There was a risk (that) the brain might be starved of oxygen.
He gabbed his suitcase and gave the impression (that) he was boarding the Tokyo plane.
6. 关于“同位语从句”的翻译技巧:
因为某些被同位语修饰的名词,具有动词意义,所以它们与后面的同位语从句存在着“动宾关系”。鉴于此,当整个句子过于复杂,或者当同位语从句较长时,我们可以尝试按动宾关系翻译和处理。
网友的句子,就是按照这个思路翻译的:“症状显示,....(同位语从句)”
又如:
1. criticism his administration acted too slowly:批评/指责他的政府行动过于迟缓。
2. a kind of feeling (that) this might happen:隐约感觉到这事可能要发生。
3. his promise (that) he would always do everything:他答应他要做一切事情。
4. warning (that) teenagers should not smoke:警告青少年不该吸烟。
5. no idea (that) you were such an actor:不知道你是这样的一个演员。

The symptoms are a sign (that省略了)you're breathing through the mouth instead of doing deeper breathing through the nose.
参考译文:症状表现为,你是用嘴呼吸,而不是用鼻子做深呼吸的。
(sign n.迹象;征兆;表象;痕迹;symptom n. 症状; 征兆)
以上为同位语从句,引导同位语从句连词省略了。
接同位语从句名词主要有以下2类
(1)由同根动词变成抽象名词:belief信念,相信 doubt怀疑 explanation解释, fear害怕 feeling感觉 hope希望,advice建议,wish愿望,promise答应,诺言.reply答复 suggestion建议 order命令
The suggestion (that) we clean the room by turns is good.同位语从句 我们轮流打扫房间的建议很不错.
They raised a proposal (that) the meeting (should) be postponed.同位语从句 他们提议延期开会.
备注:以上抽象名词动词,后面可以接宾语从句。接宾语从句可以省略that,接同位语从句也可以省略that。
(2)完全由包含内容的抽象名词充当:fact事实,idea想法,主意 news消息 possibility可能性 question问题 problem问题,word 消息;信息,
以上名词后接同位语从句,不省略连词that
Word came that he had been abroad.
据说他已经出国了。(同位语从句)
The news that our team has won the game is true.
我们队赢了那场比赛的消息是真的。
The news that he won the championship is true.同位语从句
他获得冠军消息是真的。
