For decades, ceos have fancied themselves as grand strategists, like generals who believe strategy is to war what plot is to the play.
划下划线句子中what怎么理解,做什么成分,句意怎么理解
我知道站内有很多这样的讨论,但我搜不到啊,请求回答!
这是一个“特殊比较句式”(A is to B what C is to D),通常不作语法分析,会用既可。例如:Air is to us what water is to fish. 空气对于我们,犹如水对于鱼一样。如果一定要分析的话,Air是主语,to us是对象状语,意为“对我们来说”,后面的what为融合型关系代词(“先行词+关系代词”the thing that… / something that…)引导名词性关系分句(相当于名词)在主句中作air的表语,且what又在从句中作water的表语。该句式还可作如下剖析:
A pen is a must to a writer. 笔对于作家来说是必不可少的东西。
A gun is a must to a soldier. 枪对于战士来说是必不可少的东西。
→ A pen is to a writer a must that a gun is to a soldier.
→ A pen is to a writer what a gun is to a soldier. 笔之于作家,犹如枪之于战士。
▲ 有语法家认为,这种句式表示比较,所以也可将其看作比较从句的特殊用法。what可改为(just) as“恰似;犹如;好比”,意为“A对于B来说,犹如C对于D一样”。例如:
A CPU is to a computer (just) as a heart is to a human. 中央处理器对于电脑来说,就如同人的心脏。
