Undergraduates will tell you that they’re under pressure — from their parents,from the burden of debt they incur,from society at large — to choose majors they believe will lead as directly as possible to good jobs.
来自2014年5月份英语笔译二级真题。majors后面是定语从句,但是从句的主语呢?
Undergraduates will tell you that they’re under pressure — from their parents,from the burden of debt they incur,from society at large — to choose majors they believe will lead as directly as possible to good jobs.
你的句子涉及所谓的嵌入式定语从句:
…to choose majors they believe will lead as directly as possible to good jobs.
= …to choose majors (that) they believe will lead as directly as possible to good jobs.
其中的 they believe 为“嵌入”成分,定语从句的真正主语被省略了。关于这种定语从句省略主语的用法,《柯帕斯英语网》有几位大佬有过很详细的论述,下面我选择相关的一段截图给你:
