The woman’s condition is such that she would have been unable to communicate to staff that she was pregnant or that she had been assaulted.
问题1:such that 句型?
问题2:would have been unable to 句型?
The woman’s condition is such that she would have been unable to communicate to staff that she was pregnant or that she had been assaulted.
【翻译】该女子的情况是如此严重,(以至于)她无法向工作人员表明她怀孕了或遭到殴打的情况。
这就是:such (...) that... 句式。that 引导“结果状语从句”。
such 可以直接用作形容词作表语,也可用作先行限定词,修饰名词。
又如:
The girl is such that everyone likes her.
根据结果状语从句的意思“大家都喜欢她”,可以推断“她是一个好女孩”。至于怎么翻译,可根据语境,适当添加意思,例如:“这个女孩如此善良/友好/乐于助人”等等。这就像问题中的句子,添加了“严重”字眼,是一个道理。
such 在主句中是形容词,它的意思是“这个样子的;那个样子的;这样的;那样的”,形容主语的品质到达某种境界或程度,所以后面的that 从句才有了结果的意义!
