All of a sudden, I realized with some frustration that gone was the care-free boy with an air of cheerfulness on every occasion whatever his mood or others'.
我认为这里的whatever his mood or others'不是让步状语从句,因为分析为状语从句,句子的逻辑就不通了:无论他或是别人的心情如何,那个在什么场合都能保持乐观的无忧无虑的男孩那还已经不存在了。(逻辑不通??)
我认为whatever his mood or others'确实是个副词性分句,但是它不是充当状语,状语是分句层次的,而是修饰名词的修饰语
care-free或者with an air of cheerfulness on every occasion,是属于修饰层次的。既然是副词性分句就应该有副词的功能,就可以修饰形容词和介词词组。我的分析对吗?
