非限制性定语从句先行词的判断

句子分析:

I didn’t put forth the plan as a Procrustean bed, to which exact conformity is to be indispensable.

老师请问一下to which 的先行词是哪一个呢,是plan吗?

一个定语从句前如果有二个名词,定语从句修饰哪个名词是需要根据逻辑判断的。所以你这个句子要做出判断,你得知道a Procrustean bed是什么意思,而不是乱猜。下面是词典对a Procrustean bed的解释:

a Procrustean bedsomething designed to produce conformity by unnatural or violent means.

In Greek mythology, Procrustes was a robber who tied his victims to a bed, either stretching or cutting off their legs in order to to make them fit it.

了解了a Procrustean bed的意义之后,结合定语从句的意义,你就很容易地知道定语从句其实是解释a Procrustean bed的,所以定语从句的先行词是a Procrustean bed

我没有提出将这个计划一刀切,对于计划来说确切的贯彻实施是必不可少的。翻译过程中没有直译,而是采取了意译,如conformity原本含义为遵从。

先行词是the planwhich为关系代词,在从句中代指先行词,即为I didn’t put forth the plan as a Procrustean bed, and to the plan exact conformity is to be indispensable.
