I pushed the pieces of carrots to the side of the cutting board and went on to complain about schoolwork, friends and family. Granny took them all in, listening patiently While I talked about so many pieces of griefs in my life.
专家老师,我觉得该句中的代词them应该是指代上面(上文)的pieces of carrots,一般代词具有回指作用,另外其后的伴随状语listening足以说明谓语动词took them all in与listening是不同的两件事儿(与谓语动词同时存在的另一种情况)。但有人认为指代pieces of griefs.
请专家老师解惑。
take something in为短语动词,有很多不同语义,其中之一为understand。我认为本句中的them指的是schoolwork, friends and family。牛津take something in的释义之一及例句如下:
to understand or remember something that you hear or read
Halfway through the chapter I realized I hadn't taken anything in.
