Nothing is quite beautiful alone; 1) nothing but is beautiful in the whole. A single object is only so far beautiful as it suggests this universal grace. The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musician, the architect, seek 2) each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce. 3) Thus is Art a nature passed through the alembic of man.
曹老师好,弟子请教曹老师段落中几个问题:
句1)nothing but is beautiful in the whole. 句子结构该怎么理解?
2) each 指代前面主语的各项内容吗?为什么不是each seek 而是seek each ?
句3)为何用倒装句?意义何在?
谢谢曹老师。
1 Nothing but is beautiful in the whole. 这不是一个完整的句子,而只是一个名词词组。but在此是关系代词,等于that...not。即nothing that is not beautiful in the whole.
2 each在此为代词,通常分析为主语的同位语。当each位于复数主语之后时,谓语动词通常用复数形式。each通常位于实意动词之前。有些作者会把each放在实意动词之后,这有矫揉做作之嫌疑。The freedictionay 对此有如下评论:
When each follows the verb, it has been traditionally considered acceptable to say either
The boys have each their own bike or The boys have each his own bike, though both
of these (and especially the latter) are likely to seem stilted in comparison to The boys
each have their own bike or The boys each have their own bikes. ·
3 副词thus位于句首,谓语动词为be, end, come, follow等时,常采用倒装结构。
